Abstract: 3176. Calvert, H. Feb. 6. Yarns, warping.-The warp threads pass from a bobbin creel, preferably V-shaped, over a stop-motion B, through an adjustable horizontal heck or reed C and a section-builder D, to the warping-mill or swift E. The creel, stop-motion, and heck are mounted upon a platform F, which is moved along on rails G either by gearing I<2>, K, K<1>, K<2> from a hand-wheel I or from the shaft which drives the traversing- gear of the section-builder. The stop-motion may be of any ordinary construction, that shown operating when a detector d falls between two rollers e, e<1> and oscillates levers h for pushing the knocking-off handle out of its retaining-notch. The handle slides the bar m and, by means of a bellcrank lever p, link p<2>, and arm r on a sleeve on the shaft o<1>, oscillates an arm s on the shaft itself ; this arm s is connected by a rod s<1>, lever s<2>, shaft t, and lever t<1> to the belt-shipper t<2> of the pulleys for driving the swift E. The shaft o' is fixed, and is square in cross-section to enable the sleeve to slide upon it as the stop-motion travels with the platform F. The heck C is adjusted vertically for leasing by means of a rack u and pinion w at each end, operated by a shaft w<1> and hand-wheel w<2>, and it is held in the different positions by a pawl w<4>. The section reed x is made in two parts, hinged together so that its width can be adjusted by a right and left-handed screw x<1>, and the whole reed can be adjusted laterally by another screw y<1>.

Granted: 1898-12-17
Abstract: 30,507. Badon, M. J. Dec. 24. Deep-boring.-Relates to a method of and apparatus for boring artesian wells. The boring-tools are worked by an electromotor A, arranged in a hermetically - closed casing B, which receives its current from a dynamo &c. on the surface of the ground by means of a cable C which may serve also to suspend the apparatus. The casing is adapted to slide in the tubing and is prevented from rotating by spring bolts f which engage in longitudinal grooves e<1> ; it is provided with a stuffing-box packed with a cup-leather, for the passage of the motor shaft, which is drowned in a bath of oil &c., covering the bottom of the casing; the joints of the casing are also packed with cup-leathers and a sleeve of india-rubber &c. may be placed outside the casing. To counterbalance the external pressure of the water, the casing is charged with compressed air ; the influx of water is indicated by a float in the oil bath and a bell. A framing O secured to the casing supports a box D for the debris, through the centre of which the stem of the tool passes. An arrangement for imparting percussive action to the tool is described, and a device for expanding reaming-tools by means of electromagnets.

Patent GB-189805024-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Turning Machines for Shaping, or Shaping and Cutting Off Lenghts of, Metal.
Inventor: AUSTIN HERBERT
Filed: 1898-03-01
Granted: 1899-01-28
Abstract: 5024. Austin, H. March 1. Lathes.-Relates to improved means for operating a capstan head, and also to means for operating independent parting tools. The capstan head W, which is arranged to alternately reciprocate and rotate, is driven by a friction disc and roller variable-speed gear n<1>, a<2>, b<2> from pulleys a<1>, through worm gearing b<1> on a sleeve F. The position of the discs n' is controlled by a lever f<1> operated by cam surfaces a on a disc A, fixed on a shaft B driven by changewheels i, f, g, h from the sleeve F. The projections of the cam surfaces from the disc may be independently varied by their screwed stems band lock-nuts, as shown, or by other suitable means. The front end of the sleeve F has a cam surface F<1>, engaging a roller c<1> on the head. When the head is not held by a spring pin c, the head is continuously rotated by the roller engaging in a slight depression in the cam surface F<1>. On allowing the pin c to engage one of the slots in the head, the rotation is stopped and the head is advanced to operate the corresponding tool, and is retracted by a spring t. Cams e on the disc A operate the pin c, and their number and position can be varied according to the number of active tools used in the head, the head being reciprocated only when an active tool is opposite the work, and continuously rotated between such positions. The parting-tools m<1>, Fig. 3, are carried in holders k, adjustably fixed on a segmental rocker j. Arms q on the rocker carry spring pins p and screw stops r. The rocker is operated, to bring either tool into operation, by cams n, t<1> on a disc G engaging the spring pins. The exact movement of the tools is obtained by the screw stops r, which engage a part E of the bed, and excessive movement of the cams is taken up by the spring pins. This principle of a yielding operating portion and a direct stop may be applied to ordinary tool slides. The rocker may be adapted for one tool only.
Patent GB-189808150-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Couplings for Cars.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1898-04-05
Granted: 1898-07-23
Abstract: 8150. Imray, O., [Tower, C. A.]. April 5. Couplings, automatic.-Fig. 1 shows a sectional plan, Fig. 2 a vertical section, and Figs. 3 and 4 cross-sections with the parts in different positions. Each knuckle 3 is pivoted at 4 to the head 2, and has an outer arm b and an inner arm c. The locking-device consists of an angled piece having a transverse member e carrying the block 7 and the arm f which slides in the slot g. When the angled piece is raised by the link 8, the block 7 first clears the arm c of the knuckle, thereby unlocking it, as shown in Fig. 3, and then the angled piece turns about the point a so as to throw the arm c outwards, as shown in Fig. 4. Although for the coupling to be separated both knuckles must be unlocked, it is sometimes desirable to set one in unlocked position, so that, when the other is unlocked, the cars will separate. To effect this object, each head is provided with a lever 10 having arms 12, 13. When the knuckle is locked the lever 10 occupies the position shown on the right hand in Fig. 2, but when the angled piece is raised, as shown on the left-hand side of Fig. 2, the member e acts on the arm 12 and swings the arm 13 beneath the member so as to support it, the lower end of the lever 10 entering a depression 14 in the arm c of the knuckle. Two modifications in the method of carrying and guiding the lever 10 are described. In one, a pin on the head slides in a slot on the lever, and in the other the lever slides in a sleeve which is carried by trunnions on the coupler.

Abstract: 24,077. Stresemann, R. Nov. 15. Self-driving motors; weight motors.-A weight motor is stated to be self-driving, and is so adjusted that power may be automatically evolved, by a system of moving weights and rails. Fig. 1 shows such a motor with the weights in one of their extreme positions. A combination of a pair of systems like that in Fig. 1 is used. A central oscillating bridge D has a heavy ball X capable of rolling on it, and attached to the axle of a couple of rolling wheels M, M by means of a telescopic tube G. The carriages K, K are moved by means of the bent lever Q. When the ball X rolls into the position shown by the dotted circle, the balls N, N roll up rails I, I, and the bridge D descends on the right. From the highest position attained by them, the balls N, N descend, bring back the ball X, and so cause the bridge D to descend on the left. By this repeated action the bridge D is made to oscillate.
