Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 16,923. Adair, M., Cameron, J. A., and Ainsworth, F. July 25,1908, [Convention date]. Hem-stitching machines; grouped machines. - Relates to improvements in sewing-apparatus comprising two machines disposed opposite one another for the purpose of hemming the sides of a long length of fabric, as described in Specification 5002/09. The mechanical devices for stopping machines when a thread breaks are 'replaced by electric means. Improved devices for guiding the fabric are furnished. A weight on each machine is normally held up by the needlethread, as described in the abovementioned Specification; when either is allowed to fall, it closes an electric circuit including electromagnetic devices for operating the starting-levers of both machines. To ensure that the tension of the needle-thread shall fail if the under thread fails, a cutter is fitted on the presser foot, on to which the needle thread bears when a few stitches have been missed. Either machine can be stopped independently by hand by means of a lever g<3>, Fig. 2<a>, which is jointed to a link f<3> by an eccentric pin and, when rotated, depresses the link; this raises a rod c<3> and the magnet end of the stopping-lever. Feeding long lengths of fabric.-Fig. 2 shows the method of feeding the fabric. It is taken from the roll m<3>, over rolls n<3>, o<3>, p<3>, q3, past guiding-devices to the machines, and thence over a friction or tensioning roll b<5> and a guide roll c<5> to the reel d<5>. Guides are provided which turn the edges of the fabric inwards beyond the hemmer tongues, and the excess is reduced to a suitable amount by other guides, so that the fabric always properly fills the hemmers. The usual central slack rod t<3> is provided, and horizontal rods a<9> keep the fabric near the edges approximately horizontal.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Rope Drums.
Inventor: MILLER THOMAS SPENCER
IPC: B66D1/08
Filed: 1910-05-02
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 10,759. Miller, T. S. May 2. [Addition to 5903/09.] Automatic gear.-Comprises a regulating-valve for the engine of a winch of the kind described in the parent Specification for maintaining constant tension on a rope. The valve comprises two portions, a gravity valve 65 and a lower valve 71, which is operated by hand through gearing 75 or automatically, and upon which the valve 65 rests. When the D-valve 63 is depressed steam is admitted through the port 64 and the valve 65, which it lifts, to the cylinders, while the exhaust passes out through the passages 67, 69, 70. When the load on the winch increases, the valve 71 is automatically depressed and moves away from the valve 65 so that steam escapes from the cylinders to the exhaust through a passage 65<a>. The pressure in the cylinders is thus reduced and the winch pays out rope until the load is reduced to the normal, whereupon the valve 71 is automatically raised. When the load decreases, the valve 71 is raised and lifts the valve 65, which admits more steam to the cylinders, causing the winch to wind in the rope until the normal tension is again reached.
