Title: Improvements in Automatically Closing Valve Mechanisms.
Inventor: BARRETT ERNEST DOANE
Filed: 1908-03-02
Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 4742. Barrett, E. D. March 2. Waste - preventing valves. - An automaticallyclosing valve for supplying a predetermined amount of liquid comprises a main valve 7, Fig. 1, an actuating-piston 10, and a cushioning or timing piston 11, the latter piston reciprocating in an auxiliary chamber 13 arranged within the outlet chamber. The space 12 above the piston communicates with a lateral inlet 16 through an adjustable flat-sided screw 19 in the side of the piston, or through a passage in the valve casing. When the push valve 24 is depressed, the fluid above the piston 10 escapes through a passage 23, allowing the main valve to be opened by the inlet fluid. During discharge, fluid passes a cup-leather 22 of the piston 11 into the auxiliary chamber 13. When the push is relased, the main valve is closed by fluid pressure in the chamber 12, the time taken being governed by the escape of fluid from the auxiliary chamber 13 through a screwcontrolled aperture 53, the cup-leather 22 acting as a non-return valve ; the control screw 54 is covered by a screw cap 56. The amount of opening of the valve is regulated by a screw 37 on the piston 10. In a modification, the push and auxiliary valve are placed in the side of the casing, and the regulating-screw 37 is placed in the top cover 2. The passage 23 is also made to communicate with the timing-chamber through a check valve below the piston 11. In another modification, Fig. 2, the auxiliary valve seats on the hollow stem 9 of the main valve, and is operated by a lever 45 through a sleeve sliding on the stem 9 and engaging the auxiliary valve stem by a screw-pin. An adjustable screw 48 covered by a cap regulates the movement of the lever, or locks it in the inoperative position. The fluid in the chamber 12 is relieved through the hollow stem 9 and passes below the timing- piston through holes 52 and past the cup-leather 22, which acts as a non-return valve.

Granted: 1908-04-21
Abstract: 7892. Preston, E. J., and Mees, A. B. April 17, 1907. Window opening and closing apparatus; door opening and closing apparatus.-Relates to ships' and like water - tight sliding - windows, shutters, doors, &c., and to operating-means therefor which, by the continued motion of the operating-handle when the closed position is reached, presses the sash &c. against rubber packing on the frame. The sash is raised and lowered by rotating an operating- spindle 13, which is connected through bevel and worm gearing to pinions 4, 5 engaging with racks 61, which are connected together by a link 69 and to the sash by toggle-links 65, 66. When the sash approaches its closed position, the middle jointpins 67<x> of the toggle links engage with curved slots 68 in brackets fixed to the frame and fold the links. During the relative movement between the sash and the racks which thereby results, inclined surfaces 60 on the racks engage with inclined surfaces 63 on the sash stiles and press the sash against the packing. When the sash is lowered, the links straighten out and the sash is moved off the packing by the engagement of inclined surfaces 62 on the racks with inclined surfaces 64 on the sash stiles. In a modification, instead of providing the racks and sash stiles with inclined engaging surfaces, the sash is connected to the racks by short links such as the links 52 described in Specification No. 8950, A.D. 1907. The application of the invention to windows having two sashes, one sash counterbalancing the other, is also described. Specifications No. 25,490. A.D. 1898, and No. 8551, A.D. 1901, are also referred to.

Title: Improvements in Weft Fork Mechanism for Looms.
Inventor: ARLT RICHARD
Filed: 1908-05-21
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 11,027. Arlt, R., and Maresch, W. May 21. Loom stop - motions. - In a loom fitted with a weft - spool changing device and provided with mechanism for stopping the loom upon the failure of the weft for two successive picks, the shipper handle is operated directly by a sliding bar driven from the weft-fork lever. Upon the first failure of the weft, the weft hammer 20 carries forwards the weft fork 5 and rod 4, thus turning the weft-fork lever 2 in the direction of the arrow, and causing the bent end 7 of the sliding bar 6 to approach the shipper handle 8. A pivoted catch 14 engages with a projection I and retains the bar 6 when the lever 2 returns to its original position. If the weft is absent after the next pick, the lever 2 is again turned in the direction of the arrow, and a vertically-sliding catch 17 carried by the lever 2 engages a projection II on the bar 6, and causes the bent end 7 to pull the shipper handle 8 out of its notch. If, however, the weft-spool changing mechanism has acted correctly after the first failure of the weft, the lever 2 turns once only, and the next reciprocation of the weft hammer 20 causes the inclined head of a sliding bar 19 to turn a pivoted lever 10 and disengage the catches 14, 17, so that the bar 6 may be returned to its original position by a spring 9.

Abstract: 19,912. Sj÷str÷m, J. G. Aug. 31. Matches, making. An automatic apparatus for filling splints into carriers from an horizontally-pivoted magazine is shown in side elevation in Fig. 1. The magazine comprises a supply box 14 and an insertion box 13, pivoted booklike on a cross-shaft 19 and held together by a catch 28; the insertion box contains, for instance, tapering tubes for receiving splints, and has a perforated sliding bottom. The magazine is first raised to allow a filled carrier to be replaced by an empty one, and the bars of the latter to be spaced apart by the insertion of wedges. It is then lowered and shaken to fill the insertion box with splints, and raised again; the catch 28 is released by a cam-operated rod 23, and the insertion box only is then lowered. The bottom of the insertion box is slid by a cam-operated rod 37, and the box is shaken to fill the carrier and raised; it is then again locked to the supply box 14. The carrier-spacing wedges are next withdrawn, the splints are compressed, and the carrier is removed. In the construction shown, the parts are operated by a main cam roller 2 and subsidiary cams. Raising and lowering of the magazine 13, 14 is effected by side levers on a cross-shaft 10, a yielding support 100 being provided. A pivoted grid 87, Fig. 12, for guiding the splints into the carrier, is attached by a string &c. to the magazine, whereby it is raised and lowered. Shaking-mechanism for the magazine comprises arms supported by ratchets 23, Fig. 1, driven through a clutch operated by the cam roller 2; the clutch can also be operated by hand to ensure that the insertion box 13 is in its lowest position before the splints therein are discharged. The carrier rests on a grooved bed in the machine; it comprises a series of bars in a rectangular frame, one side of which is slidable and is held by a detent. Wedges for spacing the carrier-bars are slid transversely by cam-surfaces on two rack-bars 45, Fig. 8, operated by a handle 48 to insert the wedges, and by a driven wheel 49 through a cam-controlled clutch to withdraw them. The splints are compressed by a slide 63, Fig. 12, yieldingly connected to a cam 61 and acting on the movable side of the carrier; this mechanism controls that for withdrawing the wedges. The apparatus may be started and stopped by the means shown in Fig. 16, which is operated by a cam 67 on the main cam 2, or by a hand-lever, and acts on a sliding clutch 73. This clutch is controlled by a rod 72 slidable by an arm 71 on a reck-shaft 70; a second arm 69 on the rock-shaft, containing a sliding bolt 75, can be turned to stop the apparatus by a slide 68 operated by the cam 67, the end of the bolt 75 normally resting in a notch in the slide 68. A handlever (not shown), can be moved either to slide back the bolt 75 and start the apparatus, or to rock the arm 69 and stop it. Specifications 126/67, 2726/92, and 15,587/00 are referred to.

Abstract: 26,565. Wetmore, E. P. June 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Capsules, applying. - Crown cork capsules placed indiscriminately in a hopper are selected by a rotating drum and passed, correctly positioned, down shoots leading to a reciprocating slide, which delivers them alternately to two capping-heads. The caps pass from a hopper 15, Fig. 2, into a space between a rotating drum 21, Fig. 3, provided with flanges 25 carrying teeth 26 and a disk 28 loosely mounted on a shaft. Properly-positioned caps pass between the teeth 26, as shown at a in Fig. 7, the flanges b of reversed caps being too wide to pass, as shown at 9. The caps pass down two shoots 34, Fig. 2, and are delivered to a slide 7, Fig. 8, provided with recesses to receive the caps and oscillated by a crank-pin on a friction clutch 12. The slide allows caps to pass alternately to the capping-heads indicated by circles. As the slide oscillates, flanges b of the caps in the shoots are slightly pressed back and all the oncoming caps are jarred a little. This prevents choking. Choking in the hopper is prevented by stirring-blades (not shown) attached to arms of the drum 21, Fig. 3. If a cap should jam between teeth 26 and the disk 28, the disk revolves and, as it is loosely mounted and slightly out of alinement, the cap becomes released as it rises. The hopper is driven by gearing 36, 37, 39, Fig. 2, which is driven by a universal-joint mechanism to allow vertical adjustment of the whole cap-feeding device. The shoots 34 are made flexible for the same purpose. A rod 13, Figs. 2 and 8, operating the slide 7 is also driven off the same flexible shaft mechanism mentioned above. Specification 9368/10 is referred to.
