Granted: 1909-02-22
Abstract: 1283. Grosvenor, G. W., and Briggs, C. Jan. 20. [Cognate Application No. 2010, A.D. 1908, dated Jan. 29.] Looms, pile-forming in; creel frames.-In a loom for weaving Axminster carpets and other tufted fabrics in which the tuft yarns are carried in rows over the fabric by endless chains and are inserted into the fabric from above, each tufting-yarn is wound into a separate cop or upon a separate bobbin. In one arrangement, the cops of tufting- yarn for each row of tufts are placed in cop holders, Figs. 1 and 3, which are arranged in three or other number of rows, and are provided with clips 8 for securing them to the chains. The outlet tubes 6 are brought into one straight line, and the cops are retained in the cop holders by a hinged lid 7. In another arrangement, the tufting-yarns are wound on separate bobbins 10, Fig. 7, which are mounted removably on an axle 12 and are arranged opposite tubes 11, by which the tufting-yarns are inserted into the shed. Each bobbin consists of side plates 15,16, Fig. 9, which are secured together by central bosses 17, and have projections 18 to reduce the friction between adjacent bobbins. The bobbins may be prevented from contacting with one another by means of thin fixed plates placed between them. The bobbins may be arranged in more than one row, and their axes may be vertical or inclined.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Presses.
Inventor: SCHWIEGER ARNOLD
Filed: 1908-04-16
Granted: 1909-07-16
Abstract: 8518. Schwieger, A. April 16. Squirting.-Presses of the type described in Specifications No. 1501, A.D. 1904, and No. 12,847, A.D. 1907, are constructed in such a way as to make their action more rapid, to enable certain operations to be performed mechanically, and to lessen the consumption of high-pressure water by arranging for the operation of a part of the stroke of the ram by low-pressure water. Fig. 1 shows a sectional elevation of the press, and Fig. 2 is a plan. The plunger cylinder a is rigidly connected to the front framing d by rods c. The ram is connected to a cross-head i which is of hollow construction to accommodate a second cross-head j, which carries the mandrel k for piercing the billet. The crosshead j is connected to the third cross-head p. The piston q of the cylinder o is connected to the crosshead p and thus actuates the cross-head j. A rotatable sleeve x allows for the adjustment of the mandrel k relatively to the billet in the presschamber. A die-holder 3 is connected to the crosshead i and carries the die 4, through which the mandrel passes. The matrix 6 in the holder 7 is held in position during the pressing operation by a wedge-shaped keyhole slide 8 which is forced in place by a piston 9. Rods 11 are connected through slots and pins to a lever 12, which operates a forked slide 14 so that this contacts with the part 15 of the die-holder when the tubular die has penetrated the required distance into the press chamber. At the end of the extrusion stroke, when the slide 8 is withdrawn, the forked slide 14 will also be withdrawn to permit the plunger f to continue the extrusion stroke, and, by means of a speciallyshaped part 16 on the die-holder, to expel the residue of the metal from the press chamber. A counterweighted lever 17 pivoted on one of the stay-rods c is provided with adjusting- pieces 18, shown in Fig. 5, to position the billets in front of the press chamber. A wedge-shaped projection on the main cross-head i acts upon the lever 21 to depress the lever 17 out of the path of the dieholder 4 when the latter moves forward. In dealing with short billets, the main mandrel and die may be moved up to the work by low-pressure water. After the billet has been pushed into the chamber by the mandrel k, the die 4 is brought up against the billet by the action of low-pressure water.

Abstract: 23,190. Merz, K. Oct. 30. [Patent of Addition to No. 20,990, A.D. 1907.] Samples furnished under Section 2 of Patents &c. Act, 1907. Dyes, artificial.-Lakes are produced from the azo dyes obtained by combining m- or p-diazobenzene carboxylic acids or their substitution products with 2 : 3-naphthol carboxylic acid. According to an example 6-chlor-3-aminobenzoic acid is employed. The process may be varied by introducing the carboxyl group into the benzene residue after effecting the combination ; thus p-acetaminodiazobenzene is coupled with the naphthol carboxylic acid, the acetamino group is saponified, the amino group is diazotized and converted into the nitrate and thus into the carboxyl group. Specification No. 20,990, A.D. 1907, is referred to.
