Title: Improvements in or relating to Tubes as used in Ring Spinning and Cop Dyeing.
Inventor: HALLIWELL THOMAS
IPC: B65H75/20
Filed: 1909-08-21
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 19,249. Halliwell, T. Aug. 21. Tubes or bobbins.-Relates to perforated tapered tubes designed to receive the cop in the spinning process and to continue to hold it in the dyeing process and until unwound as weft in the process of weaving. The tube may be constructed for twist yarns, in which case it may also be used in the winding-frame, or for weft yarns,- but in either case the tube stands clear of the spindle except at the top and bottom. A tube for twist yarns, Figs. 1 and 2, is slightly conical to correspond with the ring spindle a and fits the usual cone b at the bottom, a bush d at the top of the tube fitting the tip of the spindle. A ferrule e may be provided at the lower end of the tube. When used for dyeing, the tube fits over a boss at the bottom of the perforated spindle f, Fig. 2, the bush d fitting the top of the spindle, and the dye liquor passes through the perforated spindle into the space h, the bottom of the bush d being reduced, as shown, so that the liquor penetrates to all parts of the cop, or the liquor may pass through the cop first and leave by the spindle. A tube for weft yarns has a lower bush, an outer ferrule which fits the usual collar on the weft spindle, and a top liner which fits the tip of the spindle and has perforations corresponding to the perforations in the tube. When used for dyeing, the lower bush fits the perforated spindle and lies against a flange thereon, the perforations in the liner and tube coming opposite those on the dyeing-spindle. The tubes are formed from rolled or stamped sheet nickel, &c., and are prevented from opening by the outer ferrules and by the bushes or liners, which are preferably sweated in position The ferrule on a tube for weft yarns serves as a flange by which it may be held in a shuttle.

Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 21,414. Price, r. Sept. 20. Reversing.-Reversing valves and valve - gear are provided for multistage turbines of the type in which both the fixed and rotating blades are composed of two relatively movable sets of members the position of which is determined by the direction of rotation. The blades comprise fixed members Q and slidable members P which are moved into the operative position, on reversing the direction of flow, by the motive fluid entering the clearance spaces V and forcing the members into the reverse position. The direction of flow is simultaneously reversed in all the stages A, B, C, D of the turbine by means of the rotary valves K, L, M, N, O, which are connected by tubes F and operated by a wheel 1. The first and last rows of guide-blades in each stage are oppositely-inclined fixed nozzles. In the Provisional Specification, the valve-gear is described as applied to a turbine having double-curved blading.

Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 28,068. Pettit, W. R. Dec. 1. Brush-making machines.-In a brush-making machine in which the automatically-fed bristletufts are fixed in their holes without doubling, by means of plugs driven in by a punch, the plugs are preferably compressed, and are automatically fed; and automatic means are provided for ensuring the centring of the stock. The bristles in the hopper C, shaken by devices operated from the driving-shaft B, are separated and transferred by any suitable means the dividing - device shown at H comprises a spoonshaped part which enters the hopper C and is operated from the cam H<2>; the device is adjustable in guides by a screw H<4> to regulate the size of the tuft, the linkage H<3> being such as not to interfere with the reciprocation. A pair of jaws J<2> grip the bristles under the spoonshaped part near one end of the tuft and transfer it to a hole in the stock, centring extensions on the jaws moving to allow the tuft to project into the hole. Meanwhile a plunger C4 has fed a plug into the compressing device C', which may be similar to a four-jaw chuck, and next into the receiving-end G' of a rocking arm G, which moves downward, thereby allowing a downward movement of the punch E to transfer the plug into spring jaws F<1>. The arm G rocks back, and the spring jaws move down to place the plug centrally in the tuft, it being driven in by a final movement of the punch E. The brush-stock is fastened by clips K<2> in a cradle K', having bevelled recesses corresponding to the holes in the stock, which are connected by grooves and fit a blunt nose M<0>. The nose M<0> is adjustable on a screw L<1>, and has a central spring-mounted rod M automatically projected by a lever M<3> into the centre of the recess on the cradle prior to the descent of the tuft.

Title: Device for Automatically Loosening One at a Time Flat Objects, for example, Sheets of Paper, Envelopes, and so on, from a Pile and for Feeding Forward the same.
Inventor: SPERK GUSTAV
IPC: B65H5/02
Filed: 1910-04-13
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 8954. Sperk, G. April 13. Sheet-separators.-Relates to a feeding-device in which the articles to be fed are pressed against an elastic feeder by a friction retarding pad. In the example described, the sheets of paper rest on a table a and project over endless feed-bands b against one of which they are pressed by a friction retarding finger or pad e over which are stretched rubber bands f. Steel fingers or strips o bear on the feed bands b on each side of the central band on which the finger e bears. The pressure of the fingers o, e may be adjusted by screws p retained by locknuts g. The sheets, on being fed, are directed by guides n. The fingers o prevent the upper sheet from bulging upward and for the same purpose a transverse bar may be laid on the top sheet in the rear of the finger e. The friction of the fingers o being very small, it is possible by increasing their pressure, to increase the friction between the paper and the feeding- bands without increasing that between the paper and the retarding device. In order to increase the friction of the sheet-feeding means without that of the retarding means, a weight may be placed on the pile in the rear of the finger e.
