Abstract: 17,884. Trevlin, H., Kemball, G. J., and Kemball, E. Aug. 5. Moving-chamber apparatus for pulverulent materials with several chambers.-Relates to machines for filling pulverulent material into tins &c., of the type in which two partly overlapping disks are employed, one carrying receptacles for conveying the material from the hopper to the tins &c., which are carried on the lower disk. The tins &c. y are carried by radial arms h<1> over a disk d until beneath the outlet i on the plate f beneath the upper rotating disk carrying the receptacles c, and are then raised on the plate c<6> by the rotation of a toothed disk e, serrations x on which impart vibrations to the tin during filling.

Abstract: 23,894. Bassett, J. Oct. 22. Mechanical systems, non-automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains.-A ramp A normally raised by springs J is lowered to ' clear ' by a signalman, and a train passing on to the section depresses a ramp A<2> which uncouples the ramp A from the signalman's control, the ramp A<2> being locked until a second similar ramp is depressed. The trolly K, which is raised by contact with a raised ramp A, is connected to a brake valve. When the signal is set to ' clear,' the spindle C is also turned and, through the clutch E, the ramp A is depressed and the springs J are compressed. A train may then pass unaffected over the ramp A and, on reaching a lever A<2>, depresses the latter, and through the levers M, N and the sliding block O, pulls the wire rope U<2>, and through the bell-crank V and rope U, slides the sleeve D along the spindle C so as to uncouple at the clutch E the ramp A from the signal connexions. The springs J raise the ramp A to the ' danger ' position. The spring- pressed trigger R holds the lever A<2> and the sleeve D in this position until the train passes a second apparatus, similar to that shown in Fig. 2, but without the locking-triggers, and pulls the rope U<3> so as to release the trigger R and allow the springs to reset the lever A<2> and to couple the clutch E again so as to restore the apparatus to the control of the signalman.

Title: Improvements in Wire Fabrics.
Inventor: RICHARDSON HENRY
IPC: B21F27/00
Filed: 1914-06-02
Granted: 1915-07-02
Abstract: 13,417. Richardson, H. June 2. Wire fabrics-A wire fabric for beds &c. is built up of separate links each consisting of a single piece of wire bent into substantially parallel portions a, b, Figs. 1 and 2, having an endless loop c at one end and a loop d at the other end formed bv one or both of the free ends of the wire. The free end of the portion a is extended to form an arm f at right-angles to the link, while the free end of the portion b is attached to the link in such a way as to prevent deformation of the loop d under tension. A lateral loop h may also be formed by one of the free ends. Numerous modified methods of forming the various loops are described, all conforming to the type described above. Fig. 18 shows an example of one general form in which the portion a is bent to provide a cross-arm f, while the portion b is bent to form a loop j in the plane of the link and extending beyond the arm f. In this example, the loop c is bent over so as to provide a double loop, and a lateral loop h is also formed. The end of the arm b is finally clinched at o. Fig. 23 shows a second general type, in which the arm a is bent to form a loop j as well as the cross-arm /. In the example shown in this Figure, the arm h is bent to encircle the junction of the arm f and the loop j, and is clinched over at t. A lateral loop may also be formed by either of the arms a, b. Figs. 1 and 2 show a third type, in which the loop d is at right-angles to the plane of the arms a, b. In a fourth type, as shown in Fig. 43, only a lateral loop h is employed. In this and other forms, the ends of one or both of the links must be offset as shown at 8 so that the connected links may lie in the same plane. A fabric built up from links as described is connected at one or both ends by springs 12, Fig. 1, to a frame. The cross-arms f at one edge of the fabric are cut short and clinched to part of the link.

IPC: B29D30/16
Filed: 1914-06-23
Granted: 1914-07-30
Abstract: 14,994. Morton, F. C. June 23, 1913, [Convention date]. Tyres, elastic, special apparatus for making. -In making fabric foundations for tyre covers by winding strips of frictioned fabric on to a rotating former, each strip is stretched throughout its length before the laying - on operation. One end of the strip is secured to the former, and the other end is secured to a dummy strip 27 which is connected to a carriage 8 fitted on a slide 9. A cable 10, connected to the carriage through a gauge 31, is wound on a drum 12 forming part of a friction clutch driven from a motor 17. When the required tension is set up in the fabric strip. the motor 17 is disconnected (by means of a clutch 18) and the former 1 rotated by means of a motor 6. The frictional resistance to the rotation of the drum 12 maintains the tension in the fabric during the winding operation. In order that the fabric may approach the former tangentially, the slide 9 is adjustable through links 34, 35 and a screw device 38. The friction tensioning-means, Fig. 3, comprise the drum 12, with a facing-strip 25, which is pressed into engagement with a driven disk 13 by adjustable means consisting of the screw 23, spring 21, and washer 26. The disk 13 is motor-driven through a worm-gear 15, 16, and when the disk 13 is stationary, the frictional resistance to unwinding of the drum 12 may be adjusted by the screw 23. To relieve the tension in the strip 27 when the winding-operation is completed, the slide 8 may be in two parts.

Axle-trucks and bogies.-To damp the movement of the truck bolster, chiefly the lateral swing but to a lesser extent the vertical movement also, and to keep it from contact with the transoms, links 19 adapted to pivot both in the horizontal and vertical direction extend between the bolster and the truck frame, and frictional resistance to the movement of the links is produced by spring pressure imposed at the pivots. At each end of the bolster, a pair of blocks 10 is mounted to turn about vertical pivots 7, 23 on the bolster and truck frame respectively, and is forced against these members by springs 12. A pair of links 19 connected by horizontal pivots to the blocks 10 is similarly forced against these blocks by springs 21. The bolster is provided with :t projection 4 to carry the block 10 and has seats n for the usual springs p. Adjustment of the pressure of the springs 12, 21 is effected by the nuts shown.

Title: Improvements in Change Box Mechanism for Looms.
IPC: D03D43/00
Filed: 1915-02-27
Abstract: 3183. Hodgson, Ltd., G., and Hodgson, G. H. Feb. 27. Change-box motions. - In change - box mechanism of the kind in which the patterncontrolled teeth of a partly toothed drum 4, Fig. 1, actuate toothed crank-wheels a, b to position the boxes B, a rotary pattern cylinder k controls the descent of three pegged levers h, raised by a rod 81 and a cam 7 on the hub of the drum 4, and one of the outer levers h carries pawls m, m<1>, or one pawl only, for actuating the cylinder k. Both outer levers h act through levers t and rods t<2> to control the usual devices for moving the teeth of the drum 4. When a supplementary pattern cylinder is used, an extension h<4> of the centre lever h controls a bracket 8 to render a pawl 11, on a lever 14 oscillated from the crank-shaft 18, active or inactive to rotate a ratchet-wheel 10 on the shaft 10<a> of the supplementary pattern cylinder, the cards 13, Fig. 4, on which control, through the mechanism shown, the position of a shield 23 for rendering one or other of the pawls m, m<1> inoperative. On the usual shaft 24, Fig. 1, that carries an arm 25 acting through a pin to raise a lever 26 and put the take-up pawl 27 out of action when the weft fails, a lever 29 is secured to act, when the shaft is rocked, through a rod 29<a>, a lever 30, and a rod 32 upon bell-cranks 33, 33<a>, Fig. 4, which co-operate with pins m<2>, m<3> to hold both the pawls m, m<1> out of action. At the same time, a rod 31 connected to the lever 30 raises the centre lever h, and the bracket 8 prevents the pawl 11 from acting on the ratchet-wheel 10. The drum 4 has a centre part with serrations adapted to engage in adjusted position similar serrations on a driven disk, to which the drum is bolted by bolts passing through segmental slots, so that adjustment of the drum is facilitated. The drum and disk may be mounted on a rotating shaft of the loom or on a stud 5 secured to a bracket e, Fig. 5, which is provided with studs 2, 3 for the crank-wheels a, b; the parts may be fitted on the bracket e before this is bolted to the end frame of the loom.
