Title: Improvements in Combing Machines.
Inventor: NASMITH JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: D01G19/16
Filed: 1911-02-24
Granted: 1912-02-26
Abstract: 4647. Nasmith, J. W. Feb. 24. Combing-machines.-The machine is arranged so that all the working parts are accessible from the front or the top in order that the back passage may be dispensed with and so that two machines, which may be driven independently, may be placed with their backs adjacent to one another. The mechanism for imparting the to-and-fro motion to the nipper is arranged in front of or above the cylinder, and the top comb and the nipper frame are pivoted in front of the nipper. The top comb is arranged to move with the nipper but through a shorter distance. Fig. 1 shows half of a double combing-machine constructed on these principles. The nipper frame 1 is pivoted on a stud 2 carried by a lever 3 rocked about the nipper shaft N. The lower jaw N<2> carries a bowl 6 running on a member 8 to control the path of the nipper point. The upper jaw N<1> is carried by an arm 7 pivoted on a stud 11 on the frame 1. An arm 12 is also pivoted on the stud 11 and is locked to the arm 7 bv a latch 13. The nipper is opened by the extremity of the arm 12 coming into contact with an adjustable block 15. The necessary nip is imparted through a spring attached to an arm 16, which is loose on the shaft N and bears against the end of the arm 12. The top comb is carried by an arm 18 pivoted on a stud 4, which is carried by the arm 3, and is nearer the centre of the shaft N than the stud 2, so that the movement of the top comb will have a shorter amplitude than that of the nipper. A bowl 28 adjustably mounted upon the arm 18 rests on the upper edge of the nipper frame 1. The arm 18 may be mounted upon the stud 2 or upon a stud on a lever rocked about an independent shaft. The weighting of the detaching-roller 10, which moves in the manner described in Specification 16,001/01, is accomplished by a weighted arm 21 adjustable along a rod 20 pivoted on a stud 19 on the arm 3. By releasing the latch 13 and sliding the arm 12 off its pivot 11 the whole nipper may be turned about its pivot 2 to expose the needle segments. The application of the invention is also described to a combing-machine having an ordinary nipper, and to a combing-machine provided with detaching - mechanism of the kind described in Specification 14,536/07, and having a nipper which may be turned back to expose the needle segments as described in Specification 3589/11. Specifications 854/54, 4353/83, and 6379/09 are also referred to.

Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 3144. Moysey, H. J. Feb. 7. Electric equipment; electric push-button systems.-Relates to electric lifts and more particularly to lifts of the alternating-current type, and consists in providing the well switches with a number of contacts having branch circuits connected to them, and means controlled by the load current for closing one or more of the branch circuits, so that with higher values of the load current, the breaking of the circuit by the well switch for stopping the lift occurs at a later stage than with lower values. The diagram illustrates the application to the 'up' and 'down' switches of a lift of the alternating-current type. The switches a, b are operated by a pin c on the lift cage d, and the contacts e, f are connected to the 'up' and 'down' solenoid switches of the controller. The sets of contacts g k n, p l h are connected together in pairs; the pair g, h are connected to the main, while the other pairs are connected to the main through relay switches m, q. The coils of the relay switches are arranged in the leads from the mains to the stator windings or in the leads from the slip-rings to the short-circuit switch, and operate against springs or gravity, and are so arranged that both are open when the current in the motor is below a certain value. The circuit of the ' up ' solenoid is then broken when the switch a leaves the contact h. If the current exceeds this value, but does not exceed a second value, the circuit is not broken until the switch leaves the contact l, and if the second value is exceeded, is not broken until the contact p is passed, and so on for any number of contacts according to the accuracy in stopping required. The switch . b acts similarly in the case of the ' down ' solenoid. The invention may be applied to push-button lifts for any number of floors.
