Title: Improvements in spool adjusting mechanism of looms for weaving pile fabrics
IPC: D03D39/06
Filed: 1933-03-18
Abstract: 416,673. Pile - fabric looms. MORTIMER, B., 32, Cookridge Street, Leeds, and PHELON, M. M. E., 21, Savile Park, Halifax, both in Yorkshire.-(Representatives of CRABTREE, D.) March 18, 1933, No. 8247. [Class 142 (ii).] Relates to means for adjusting the tuft-yarn spool frames 2, Fig. 2, which carry the brackets 7 supporting the spools 8 and spaced guiding members 16 through which the pile or tuft threads protrude. The brackets 7, which have arms for supporting the spools, and members for engaging with the carrying chain 6<a> have arms 7d formed with angular recesses, or with projections to engage angular corners or recesses on a disc 4 fixed on the shaft 5 carrying the chain wheel 6. The brackets 7 are thereby adjusted and the tuft thread guides accurately registered with the grippers. To compensate for wear and to lock the spool frame in its adjusted position, a locating member 10 thereon is engaged by a groove 11<a> in a member 11 on a lever 12 controlled by a spring and a cam controlled rod 14. The member 11 also engages a flat spring 17 which withdraws the spring for holding the threads in the guiding member 16. To adjust the spool frame sidewise, members 7g, Fig. 3, fixed upon the brackets 7 &c. engage with a fixed member 18 and with a member 19. The latter is acted on by a spring-controlled lever 20 and carries a bowl 24<a> engaging a disc 22 rotating with the shaft 5. Indents 22<a> on the disc permit the lever 20 to be rocked at intervals by its spring.

Title: Improvements relating to jacquard machines for looms for weaving
IPC: D03C3/24
Filed: 1922-03-22
Abstract: 198,487. Kennett, C., and McMurdo, A. March 22, 1922. Jacquards.-In twilling jacquards for looms, the blades 4 are normally inclined towards and immediately under the ordinary hooks 3, but have portions 3<a> opposite the. twilling hooks 2 Lent from the inclined to the vertical plane, so that when a blade is oscillated by its twilling bar, the bent portion will be moved so as to lie under the adjoining twilling-hook 2. This hook is thus raised and also the corresponding hook bar 6, which raises the corresponding row of ordinary hooks 2. The bars 6 move vertically in divisions formed in vertical grid plate 14. The rotation of the usual card cylinder 5 is governed by catches 21, 22, the bottom catch 21 having a rcller 20 normally contacting with projections 19 on links 17 of a chain 16, 17, so that the catches are lifted and neither engages with the cylinder, but when the projections 19 no longer act on the roller, the top catch comes into action. The chain links 16, 17 are supported by grooved discs compounded with a ratchet-wheel. A hammer 26 bearing on the cylinder 5 is adjustably suppcrted by an adjustable bracket on the slide spindle 27, which is provided with a removable bracket 30, having a vertically-adjustable grooved bearing 31 for the gudgeon pin of the cylinder. Card-guiding rollers 36 are carried by arms 34, 35 pivoted on the bracket 30.

Abstract: 712,239. Protective cut-out arrangements. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and WILLIAMS, C. E. May 14, 1952 [April 10, 1951], No. 8319/51. Class 38(5) [Also in Group XXXV] Various forms of protective devices may be provided to earth the faulty point or to disconnect the supply in the event of a fault causing a voltage rise in the secondary circuit of a discharge lamp supply arrangement. As shown, a voltage rise caused, e.g., by a short-circuit across lamps 7-1, causes a glow discharge tube 10-2 to conduct, whereupon the current flowing to earth energizes the coil 11-2 of a relay 12-2, closure of whose contacts completes a D.C. circuit through the relay hold-in coil 13-2 and the coil 15 of normally-closed main contactor 14 whose contacts then open the supply circuit to the lamp supply transformers 1-4. One relay may replace the three or more shown. In other arrangements, the main contactor is dispensed with, and the glow discharge tube, alone, or with one or more relays, earths the highvoltage fault point in the circuit.

Abstract: 1,165,999. Shoe sole pressing machine. AUTO-SOLER CO. 22 Feb., 1967 [21 Nov., 1966], No. 8555/67. Heading A3B. An apparatus for pressing a sole-piece P to a welt-type shoe S to secure them by pressure sensitive adhesive comprises a support 12 with a pressing surface 74 and a presser element 76 slidably mounted in in the support and having a pressing surface 78. The element has a central stud 98 which extends into the support bore 84 and is retained therein by a set screw 96. The apparatus is preferably mounted on a shoe repair machine described in U.S.A. Specification 3,241,225 which normally makes fasteners from wire but has a cover 22 over the fastener ejector during its use with the .pressing .apparatus. The cover 22 sabuts the upper end of the presser element when the support 12 is raised to move the surfaces together against spring bias. The support is mounted on a pin 36 reciprocated vertically through linkage from a crank (28), Fig. 2 (not shown). The crank is driven from an electric motor through a clutch operated by a foot pedal. When the pedal is depressed the crank is continuously rotated to reciprocate the support relative to the presser element. In operation the support is raised by lifting a flange 100 on the support manually until the presser element abuts the cover. A latch mechanism (44) holds the pin 36 in this raised position. The supporting surface 78 of the presser element is formed on an annular member 88 freely rotatable on a stud 98 so that the welt of the shoe can be moved between the surfaces during the pressing.

The wheels 7 are turned by a pawl 9 carried by a swingable lever 10, detents 11 holding the head 13 in its advanced position, while the overlapping parts 1c of the band are secured together either by a separate clamping tool or by means incorporated with the tool shown. Alternatively the tensioning may be effected by a serrated gripping wheel rotated by the wheels 7. Fig. 3 shows another form of strainer having a prong 3 as above, but tensioning by means of a gripper 18 advanced along a rack 14 by a pinion 20 intermittently rotated by a rocking hand lever 10.' A pawl 21 which transmits this motion can be disconnected by thumb pressure on a handle 23 or by swinging the lever 10 forward till an abutment 25 contacts a cam 22. This extended swing also contacts a leg 24 which raises the gripper 19 off the band for release of the tool after fastening the ends 1c together. The band may have a series of holes for the prong 3 along the whole of its length, and in the case of wire there may be formed loops at intervals to receive the prong.
