Patent GB-190703450-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for "Doffing" the Bobbins of Ring-spinning Machines
Inventor: HAMER JOHN
Filed: 1907-02-12
Granted: 1908-02-12
Abstract: 3450. Hamer, J. Feb. 12. Doffing-arrangements; bobbin applying apparatus. -Means are provided for removing a series of full bobbins from, and for applying empty bobbins to, the spindles of ring spinning-frames. A board a carries a number of spring clips c, which are opened by pressing the handles d, d<1> outwardly, and are held in the opened, position by a locking- lever f. The doffing-frame is placed over' the spindles, and the clips are released so as to grip the bobbins, which are then loosened by prising the frame about the fulerums j on which the handles b rest. The frame is hung by hooks k .over a receptacle n, into which the bobbins drop. The empty bobbins are placed in the apparatus shown in Figs. 6 and 8, and are held therein by clips s<2> which, 'when the apparatus is inverted as shown in dotted lines, are withdrawn by the engagement of the bar u with the fulcrum j. The bar u, when depressed', operates a bell-crank lever u<2> through a spring, thereby withdrawing the plate s which carries the clips s<2>. The plate is pressed by hand to return it to grip the empty bobbins, and is retained in that position by an incline u<3>.
Patent GB-190704710-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Transmission of Energy by Electromagnetic Waves.
Inventor: FESSENDEN REGINALD AUBREY
Filed: 1907-02-26
Granted: 1908-02-26
Abstract: 4710. Fessenden, R. A. Feb. 26. Telegraphs.-Aerial conductors are so constructed as to render their suspension from towers or masts unnecessary. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, wires or bundles of wires 1, preferably of iron, are either supported on insulators 10, 10<1> about two feet from the ground, or may rest directly on the ground. A reflector , 12<1>, 12<2> may be arranged parallel with the wires. Coils of wire surrounding the wire 1, 1<1> near the centre are connected with the receiving or transmitting apparatus,. which is suitably tuned. The transmitting-key may serve to cut out part of the capacity of the oscillation circuit, and thus throw the transmitting-station in and out of tune with the receiving-station. When a bundle of wires is used, it may be spread out fanwise. Fig. 3 shows a lattice work antenna supported by a steel post 16, and if necessary, by guy wires 14, 14'. The steel post has wound round it a coil 17 of fine iron wires, to give it a high impedance. A copper conductor 18 shunts the post. Coils of iron wires surrounding the guy wires prevent loss of energy through them. When a multiple fan-shaped antenna is employed, it may be tuned by varying its capacity by connecting more or fewer of the individual wires with the transmitting or receiving apparatus. Fig. 5 shows three antennae 37, 38, 39, one or more of which may be connected by the switch 14 with the transmitting or receiving circuits. Wires 44, 45, 46 connected through condensers 50, 51, 52 with the antennµ, may be earthed through the switch 40<1> so as to increase the capacity of the system. Tuning may also be effected by varying the capacity introduced between a multiple anterna and the non-earthed terminal of the transmitting or receiving apparatus. In the case of the horizontal antennae shown in Fig. 2, the magnetic compouent of the electro-magnetic waves is utilized, instead of the electro - static component. Such antennae respond only to waves impinging upon them laterally, and may therefore be used for selective working. Specification No. 17,705, A.D. 1902, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relative to Circular Knitting Machines.

Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 22,284. Grieve, T. S., and Brooksby, E. Oct. 21. Circular knitting- machines.- Relates to improvements on the arrangements for knitting ribbed fashioned work described in Specification No. 18,803, A.D. 1904, and No. 12,013, A.D. 1905. In order to fashion the leg of a stocking, pairs of needles situated as indicated at a ... h, Fig. 2, are taken out of action at successive intervals, their loops being transferred to the dial or other cylinder needles to effect the gradual change from four and one to three and one fabric. The transfer cams 14, 18, Fig. 5, which deflect butts 9 of the transfer needles over the cam 16<a> in effecting the loop-transfer are put in by projections 16, 20, Figs. 2 and 10, mounted on the camcarriage and operated by a finger 41 on a ring 33 which is intermittently racked around the cylinder by the pattern-mechanism. The projection 16 is attached to a spring 15 and when pushed forward projects the cam 14 into the path of the butts 10 of the transfer needles. The first needle in mounting the cam 16<a> operates a swing cam 23 which then holds the cam 14 in the forward position when the pressure on the projection 16 is removed. The second transfer needle met by the cam 14 in again lifting the cam 23 releases the cam 14 which is then returned to the inoperative position by the spring 15. The cam 18 for removing the transfer needles to the non - knitting track acts similarly. Swing cams can be employed. The intermittent movement of the rack ring 33 is obtained by the action of the pattern chain studs 43, Fig. 7, which rotate a star-wheel 44 and an attached cam-wheel 45 the cams of which operate a lever 47 and allow a pawl-carrying lever for driving the rack ring 33 to be acted on by a cam 37. The cam-wheel 45 also operates at intervals a lever 52 which pushes in a slide 55 on the bed of the machine to a position where it can actuate a vertical slide 57 on the cam carriage and allow the slide 57 to act on a star-wheel 39 on the rack ring ; by moans of which the finger 41 is placed into or out of the path of the projections 16, 20.
