Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Narrow Fabrics.
Inventor: HAMEL FELIX SHAW
Filed: 1903-05-12
Granted: 1904-05-12
Abstract: 10,790. Hamel, F. S. May 12. Loom picking-motions -In looms, for weaving narrow fabrics of the kind described in Specification No. 21,874, A.D. 1902, the shuttle or weft-spool carrier a slides on fixed rods b<1>, b<2>, which enter holes in the carrier. The carrier is reciprocated by picker plates i, j, having points which engage in holes in the bottom of the carrier. The picker plates have on one side studs and bowls k, which rest on the top edge of a fixed plate e, and, as the picker plates are moved to and fro by a slide n on a sleeve m carried by a fixed rod l, the bowls k pass into and out of recesses g in the plate e, and thus lower and raise the picker plates, and cause them to disengage and engage the carrier. As the bowls k rise out of the recesses g, they enter recesses in a plate f connected to the slide n, and are thus prevented from rising too high. The picker plates are raised by their lower bevelled ends riding up inclines p, and the picker plates are slotted and engage sliding bosses on rods q. The sleeve m is reciprocated by means of a pivoted lever o, which may be oscillated in the manner described in the aforesaid Specification, or by having a slot engaging a pin on a plate fixed to a reciprocating rod, which is actuated by cams on the heald-operating disc wheels. The cams may act directly on bowls carried by arms fixed to the lever o. In a modified arrangement, the rods q are dispensed with, and the picker plates are held vertical by having each two bowls k, which ride in a slot in the plate e, and on its top edge, respectively. In this arrangement, the plate f is formed intogral with the sleeve m.

Abstract: 19,644. Talbot, F. J. Sept. 11. Air, purifying &c.-A centrifugal fan, for supplying air to factories, houses, &c., is combined with means for purifying the air. The fan consists of radial vanes a secured to discs l., c mounted on a rotating boss d, and it draws the air to he purified from an inlet tube g through a central opening in the disc c. The periphery k of the fan consists of about three thickness of wire gauze or the like, which dip into water o. The rotation of the fan throws the water on the gauze radially outwards against the shaped casing q, r, and produces a spray which washes the air as it is driven up the outlet tube h. The upper part s of the casing is shaped to remove the water, which runs down the sides to form a water seal between the diaphragm l and the periphery of the fan. The air may be heated after being purified. Clean water is fed in through a pipe m, and the dirty water flows out through a pipe n.
