Title: Improvements in Terry Looms
Inventor: HACKING WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1904-10-26
Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 23,041. Hacking, W. H., and Hilton, J. Oct. 26. Looms, pile forming in; loose-reed motions take - up motions.-The loose reed H, Fig. 2, in looms for forming terry fabrics is controlled by a bell-crank lever C pivoted at U<1> and provided with an adjustable stop D, which regulates the distance of the terry picks from the fell of the cloth and thus regulates the length of the loops or pile. The end X of the lever C bears on the bowl B carried by the reed case during the beat-up. The reed case is carried by an arm A pivoted at Q. The arm A and lever C are connected by a spring I and a slotted link E engaging with an adjustable stop K, which prevents the bowl B from jumping away from the stop D. The lever C is actuated by a hook G pivoted at N and connected to the dobby or jacquard mechanism by a cord P and weight O. The hook G may be controlled by a tappet or by a chain with high and low links. Fig. 4 shows the take-up motion for drawing forward the warp to form fringe. The take-up roller shaft Z carries a ratchet-wheel R moved by a pawl S actuated by a lever U, which is oscillated by a projection W engaging with a nose V on the lever. The projection W is carried by the lay-sword Y, and operates when the lever U is raised by the cord P<1> hung from one of the hooks of the dobby or jacquard. The shaft Z is connected with the ordinary take-up gearing by free-wheel mechanism of the form shown in Fig. 3 or otherwise. The fringing-motion just described is not only suitable for towels and pile fabrics, but also for shawls, huckaback towels, and goods other than terry.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Forming Compound Deals.
Inventor: MAYHEW GEORGE SKAATS
Filed: 1904-12-21
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 28,032. Mayhew, G. S. Dec. 21. Wood substitutes; glueing. - Compound deals are made of irregularlysized pieces of wood which are first dried and smoothed and then glued and pressed together. The machine in which they are pressed has a bottom cramp 20 and a series of top cramps 56 running on guides 3 on a suitable framework, the bottom cramp being moved by traversing- screws operated from the main shaft 7 of the machine by bevel gears 6, 5. The shaft is driven from pulleys 18 or 19 by clutches 8, 9 operated by foot-levers 12, 15, and a step-by-step movement is given to the bottom cramp by a mechanism, Fig. 4, in which a bevelwheel 27 driven from the shaft 7 carries a cam 28, the projection 42 of which is adjustable, which once in a revolution drives the spring-controlled claw 25 into engagement with the claw 24, and so drives the shaft 7 and thus the traversing-screws. The claws may be held in constant engagement by a handle 45 and notches 47, 48. An adjustable stop 49 and trip 50 serve to prevent the cramp 20 from moving too far by putting the cone clutches 8, 9 out of gear. The upper cramps are moved a short distance by spring - controlled levers 71 actuated by nuts 69 driven by screws 68. The screws are driven in one direction or the other from the shaft 57 by means of foot-lever-operated clutches 66, 67 and a reversing crown train. All the upper cramps may be simultaneously moved by levers 89 or 90, which operate all the foot-levers 76, 78 by means of cams.

Title: Improvements in Speed Indicating and Registering Devices for Motor Cars.
Inventor: ULIVI GIULIO
Filed: 1904-12-30
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 28,961. Ulivi, G. Dec. 30. Speed indicators ; registering observations by instruments. -An apparatus for indicating and recording the speed of shafts, applicable to motor and other road vehicles, railway vehicles, and ships' engines is actuated by a centrifugal spring- controlled wheel, and records upon a clock-driven paper drum by the passage of an electric current through prepared paper,the drum being independently rotatable by hand for the purpose of examining the record. A transverse section is shown in Fig. 3, and longidinal sections through the actuating and recording parts respectively in Figs. 4 and 6. The casing 71,60 contains a drum 1, through which passes centrally the spindle 4, driven by a pulley which may be placed at either end and carried by bearings 19, 20, fitted with lubricators. Pivoted upon this is a flywheel 6 which tends to set at right-angles thereto as the speed increases, thereby forcing the loose collars 7, 15, 16 to the right against the pressure of a spring 17 which may be adjusted by means of the plate 18. To the central collar 15 are pivoted two small rings 13, 14 through which can slide the arms 11, 12, depending from and fixed to a cross-shaft 9, which thereby receives motion from the movement of the plane of the flywheel, and, being furnishei with an index arm 10, indicates the speed over a graduated scale upon a plate 70, visible through the window 72. A second fixed cylinder 50 contains the recording- drum 28, which is covered by paper saturated with potassium iodide solution, and is norma!ly driven by the clockwork 29; the drum is supported between the fixed plate 31 on the shaft 29<a> and the conical piece 73, which is introduced from the frame into the opposite open end of the drum and furnished with friction wheels, at which end also there is a stuffing-box 69. Upon the rod 39 contained within the central tube being pushed in, the linkwork 40, 43, 42, 44 withdraws the pin 45 from the hole in the driving-plate 31, and the drum may then be turned manually by means of the button 38 in order to view the record through the window 30. A metal bar suspended from the insulated binding- screws 64 is in contact with a spring clip 57 attached to a screw 56 with platinum point, which is held in an insulating-lug 54 and swept along the bar by means of a pin-and-slot connection as the index arm moves. From the point of the screw, an electric circuit, either intermittently or continuously energized, is completed through the paper to the metal drum and thence to a third binding- screw on the casing, the discharge marking the paper at positions dependent upon the time and speed. The apparatus has a base-plate 74 adapted to be clamped by means of bolts 75 to a slotted bar, to allow the pulley to be accurately positioned, and may be driven either by belt gearing from a pulley attached to a wheel or other rotating part, or a friction-driven disc and flexible shaft may be employed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Automatic Lighting and Extinguishing of Gas Lamps.
Inventor: ROOIJ CATHARINUS CHRISTIAAN DE
Filed: 1905-08-23
Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 17,108. Rooij, C. C. de. Aug. 23. Valves controlled from a distance. - A liquidseal valve, operated by variations of pressure in the gas mains, is constructed so that the pressure at which the gas is cut off is lower than that at which it is turned on. The valve consists of three chambers a, b, d. Into the first passes the supply pipe e and the burner tube f, the end of which is normally closed by liquid. The first chamber a communicates at the bottom with the second chamber b, so that, when the pressure is increased, the liquid is forced out of the one chamber a into the other until the end of the tube f is unsealed, and gas can pass to the burner, where it is ignited by the pilot jet h. As the liquid in the second chamber b still rises, some of it flows over into the third chamber d through holes near the top. The third chamber d is connected with the first a by a fine-bore tube i passing into the burner tube f, so that as long as the lamp is alight none of the liquid that has overflowed into the third chamber d can flow back on account of the pressure of gas in the tube i. In consequence of this, when the pressure is reduced, the height of the column of liquid that balances the gas pressure is less than it was before, and so the gas will remain alight at a lower pressure than was required to light it. When the lamp is extinguished, the liquid flows back through the tube i, and the first conditions are restored.
