Title: Improvements in Hackling Machines for Flax and other like Fibres.
IPC: D01B5/00
Filed: 1913-01-11
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 874. Longworth & Co., and Shaw, P. Jan. 11. [Cognate Application, 14,572/13.] Feeding and transferring flax &c.-In heckling-machines in which the holders are transferred from one main channel to the other by carriers mounted upon an intermittentlymoving endless chain, means are provided to counteract the effect of any slackness in the chain due to wear at the joints &c. The chain may comprise one or more adjustable links, the carriers being adjustably mounted on the links to ensure correct positioning; or means may be provided to ensure the carriers opposite the main channels being correctly positioned on the chain-wheels. A chain provided with one or more adjustable links A, Fig. 1, is mounted on a suitable track B with semicircular ends b<1>. The chain is provided with runners C, on each link E, and the pitch of the holder carriers D can be adjusted in accordance with the shortening of the links A by mounting the carriers upon a screw-adjusted bracket. The chain is moved intermittently by fingers F engaging projections on the chain. The fingers Fare carried on the spindle f of a gear-wheel f<1> operated by a segmental gear-wheel f<2>. Locking-plates f<5>, f<6> may be provided for the rest positions of the wheel f<1>. The chain may be supported upon two circular tracks P, p, Fig. 9, carried by runners R, and may be operated by a lever T engaging projections d<2> on the chain, the lever being oscillated in any suitable manner and being provided with a loose sliding piece t<1>, which slips over the projections upon the return stroke. To position the holder carriers D correctly opposite the main channels, the runners C on the chain are held firmly at the bottom of the teeth of the usual chain-wheels H. This may be accomplished by a band or guide carried around the periphery of the chain-wheel and adjustably secured to the chain guides or channels or by projections m<1>, Fig. 7, carried by spring arms M mounted on the chain-wheel H. The projections m<1> are moved apart by the sides of the chain until they are free to engage at the bottom of the chain-wheel with the link g, which is correctly positioned on the wheel by a guide n. The link g is thus securely held at the bottom of the teeth of the chain-wheel until it rises to the top of the chain-wheel, when the projections m<1> engage cam surfaces N and are pushed apart to free the link.

Title: Improvements in Pneumato-electric Tracker Bars for Automatic Musical Instruments.
Inventor: DORRICOTT CHARLES WILLIAM
Filed: 1913-06-11
Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 13,546. Dorricott, C. W. June 11. Actions.-The contact-members of an electropneumatic action are arranged in suction chambers which are independent of the chamber that exhausts the tracker-ducts, so that dust from the tune-sheet cannot reach the contacts. The arrangement of the contacts permits of their adjustment without dismantling the tracker-bar. Fig. 2 illustrates a construction for use in pivoted tracker-boxes. The tracker-ducts 2 are connected by tapered bleed-holes 10 to a chamber 14 exhausted by a pipe 16, extending longitudinally of the tracker-bar, and a pipe 15. The ducts 2 connect with recesses 5 arranged in staggered rows in the web 3, which is cut away to receive insulating-blocks 19. The recesses 5 are covered by diaphragms 7, which carry central projections 23 and are secured in position by rings 8. Chambers 18 on each side of the web 3 are connected together and exhausted through an independent pipe in connexion with the pipe 16. These chambers contain spring contacts 21 secured to the insulating- blocks 19 and resting against the projections 23 on the diaphragms 7. Wires 24 from the cable 25 are connected to the contacts 21, which co-operate with contacts 26 screwed into the removable plates 17 and adjustable from the outside of the tracker-bar. The plates 13, 9 may be detached to clear out the chamber 14 and the bleed-holes 10.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Recording Different Measurements or Values.
Filed: 1913-07-08
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 15,728. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. July 8. Recording by co-ordinates; employing one recording-apparatus for several instruments.- In apparatus for recording different measurements or values such as voltages or temperatures as determined by a single measuring- instrument which is connected at short intervals to the different observing - instruments, the various records are distinguished by rows of characteristic type arranged across the path of the record-strip and adapted to be displaced synchronously with the device that connects the measuring-instrument with the observing- instruments. As shown in Fig. 1, the recordstrip r travels beneath a colour or ink ribbon a and the rows of type t<1>, t<2> ... are mounted in spring arms secured to bars m of a frame c. When the measuring-instrument is switched over to record a different value, the frame c is moved so as to bring the corresponding row of type under the end d of the indicating- pointer z and the drop-frame or bar b is actuated by clock-work or an electro - magnet to depress the pointer z and strike the type against the record-strip. The end d of the pointer is made wider than the space between two adjacent types to ensure printing. Modifications are described in which the ink-ribbon and types are placed beneath the record-strip and the rows of type are fixed in a platen or secured to a drum.

Filed: 1913-09-18
Granted: 1914-09-18
Abstract: 21,091. Vernon, T. T. Sept. 18. Pneumatic separating.-Pneumatic separating- apparatus, adapted for purifying middlings, semolina, &c., comprises a series of parallel sieves D1 ... D6, of successively increasing area, set in a frame C which is pivoted at c4, and adjustable in inclination across an air passage from an inlet e1 to depositing-chambers e5, e6. A rotating valve e3 causes the air current passing through the sieves to pulsate. The sieves may be provided with by-pass valves P, P, to give the current of air an upward direction as it passes through the sieves. Material to be separated is fed in from a shoot B over a roll b1 with an adjustable feed-plate b2 and passes over a plate a to the lowest sieve D1. Material passing through the sieve D1 in opposition to the air current falls into box O, and material carried forward by the air current passes through one or more of the sieves D2... D6, and when arrested falls down an appropriate shoot g1... g6 to form a heap on a conveyer band J which carries it to a hopper. Windows f, in the supports carrying the sieves permit the process of separation to be observed. The air current may pass in a closed or open circuit.

Abstract: 3241. Grocott, R. T. March 1. Connexion fittings ; terminals.-In an electric ceiling rose, the flexible leads are threaded through the cover, and the ends n are separated and passed under notches h, h<1> in a slotted tube f projecting centrally from the insulating-base. necessitating acute bending of the wires, and finally threaded below angle plates v, Fig. 3. and clamped between the plates and the baseplates o of the terminals by means of a set-screw @. When the cover is screwed in position, an internal flange m thereon clamps the leads n to the base. The base is formed with a recess at c and a gap at d, and the dividing-wall between the recess and the gap is provided with a screw-threaded hole e, whereby the terminal is secured in the recess by means of a set-screw t passing through the hole e into a block snch as r, which may he formed with a shoulder and a projection which is riveted to the plate o, or may be soldered to the plate. The block r is drilled at right-angles to the plate o, the hole registering with a hole in the insulating-base, so that the screw t serves also to secure the circuit leads which are threaded into the drilled hole. The shank of the set-screw w is formed with a groove under the head, and after passing the screw through the hole in the angle plate, which may be screwed or not, the angle plate is moved sideways so that the sides of the hole or a bayonet-slot-like formation therein engages the groove in the set-screw, and the angle plate is consequently moved up or down when the set-screw is rotated.
