Abstract: 12,787. Hopkins, L. E. May 30. Revolving - cylinder pumps. - Hydraulic motors, pumps, and transmission gear of the revolving-cylinder type, in which the cylinders discharge into an annular space around the rotor, are provided with movable abutments for dividing this space into two compartments, the capacity of the pump or motor organ being determined by the annular distance between the ports and the abutments. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus applied to hydraulic transmission gear. The driving-shaft a is secured to the rotor A, the pistons d of which are connected to an eccentric pin F secured in the housing. The rotor A runs on ball bearings a<3>, a<4>. The ports c<1>, c<2>, Fig. 3, are situated approximately at the ends of the diameter which contains the crank-pin centre and the body centre. The annular space c<1> is divided into two parts by the abutments h carried by the plate H. The latter is operated from the spindle K by gearing k, h<1>. The passages c<1>, c<2> lead to the motor element B of similar construction to the element A save that the adjustable abutments may be dispensed with and fixed abutments, coinciding in position approximately with the ports c<1>, c<2>, are provided.

Fig. 3 shows the machine in which the carpet 3 is wound from a roller 12 on to a roller 4. after passing pivoted beating- arms 17<1>, rotary brushes 16, and two pairs of squeezing- rollers 7, 5 arranged on opposite sides of a washing-tank 19 in which the wet carpet is brushed by reciprocating brushes 18 acting on opposite sides of it. The dust removed by the beaters and brushes 16 settles into a tank of water 20, or may be removed by an exhaust fan. When the carpet is to be washed and not beaten or brushed, it is led from the roller 12 direct to the guideroller 9, and when it is to be beaten and brushed without washing, it is led directly from the rollers 7 to the rollers 5. The brushes 18 and the beaters are reciprocated by crank mechanism driven from the motor 21, which also drives the rollers and brushes 16 by spur and chain gearing. To adjust the machine for carpets of different thickness, the upper roller of each pair 7, 5 is carried by a pivoted weighted arm 27. In some cases, the carpet may be passed through the machine in the reverse direction.

Abstract: 4190. Perry, S. C. Feb. 18. Mechanical systems, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains; visual outdoor signals; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-At places where two tracks cross, signals are automatically set and released by a train on one track to block the crossing track. Universal-jointed treadles 12 acted on by the train wheels are connected to the signals through cables and bell-cranks, as shown in Fig. 1. A train moving from N to S, towards the crossing, moves the treadle 12 sideways and rocks the bell-cranks 21, 10<a>, 11, and 9. The 'bell-cranks 11, 9 are connected to the signals 41, 39, for both directions along the crossing track, and these are rotated on their axles against the action of the springs 42, and are locked by a spring-pressed bell-crank 62, which retains the bell-crank 10<a>, until the train moves the treadle 67 so as to pull down the bell-crank 62 and allow the springs to reset the signals. Signals 60 serve to show the driver that the cross road is blocked.

Abstract: 18,063. Southwell, H. & M., and Head, T. W. July 30. Pile-fabric looms.-Relates to the tuft-yarn grippers and gripper-mechanism of looms for weaving tufted fabrics. Each pair of grippers comprises a jaw 1 fixed to the gripper-shaft 2 and provided with a recessed extension 5, the coacting movable jaw 3 being pivoted at 4 to the jaw 1 and being provided with a recessed extension 6, which, when the grippers are closed, passes below and rearward of the extension 5, the recesses being then in line as shown in Fig. 11. The gripper-shaft is provided with pinions engaged by racks 9 actuated by strong springs 13. Pinions 14 loosely mounted on the gripper-shaft are connected by a pressure bar 19 engaging spiral springs 21, which are mounted on spindles 22 and bear against projecting parts 20 on the hinged jaws 3. A spring 21 is provided for each jaw 3 or for a pair of jaws 3. A cross-bar 24 is also attached by links 23 to the pinions 14. The pinions 14 are actuated by racks 15 controlled by levermechanism 17, 18, a cam 16, and a spring 27. The grippers being in the position shown in Fig. 1, the cam 16 acts on the lever 17 and the pinions 14 are rotated, the cross-bar 19 compressing the springs 21, which press on the jaws 3 and close the grippers on the tuft-yarns. After the gripper-shaft has been lowered and the tuftyarns have been severed, the pinions 14 continue to rotate and the cross-bar 19 continues to press on the springs 21, so that the jaws 3 press on the jaws 1 and the gripper-shaft is rotated against the action of the springs 13 until the grippers are in position to insert the tufts as shown in Fig. 6. A cam 12 then acts on a lever 11 and a rod 10 to move a camshaped lever 29 into position to abut against a stop 31 on the rack 9 and thus counteract the pressure of the spring 13, while the crossbar 24 acts on the .projections 20 and opens the movable jaws, the pinions 14 being at this time returned under the action of the spring 27. For opening the jaws to receive the tuftyarns, the lever 29 abuts against a second stop 30 on the rack 9. The racks 9 may be controlled by cam-and-lever mechanism.
