Title: Improved Means for Automatically Lighting and Extinguishing Gas.
Inventor: JACOB PAUL
Filed: 1905-01-11
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 564. Jacob, P., and Jacob, C. Jan. 11. Actuating valves; annular and liquid-seal valves. -Clock-work is released by a gas bell when the pressure in the gas-mains is temporarily increased, and either operates the rotary casing of the gassupply valve of a gas lamp, or, when the supply valve is formed on the bell, retains the bell in the required position. In the first form, the gas bell c, Fig. 2, dipping into liquid in a chamber b, carries a notched rod h, which normally intercepts a pin 1, Fig. 6, on a wheel r of the clock-work. On increase of the gas pressure in the mains, the bell is depressed, the pin 1 escapes through a notch o' in the rod h, and the clock-work operates the valve casing m, Fig. 2, until the rod h intercepts another pin 2x, Fig. 6, on the wheel r. When the gas pressure becomes normal, the pin 2x escapes through a second notch o' in the rod h, and the clock-work is held by the rod intercepting another pin 2, the pins being arranged as shown in Fig. 6. In the second form, the bell c, Fig. 9, is provided with a cup l<x> containing liquid for closing the main gas outlet l, except when the bell is depressed, and with a chamber having inwardly-bent flanges e, which, by dipping into an annular cup i on the bypass outlet g, extinguishes the pilot jet just after the bell is depressed sufficiently to open the main jet. In this case, the clock-work wheel r is provided between some of the pairs of pins 2, 2<x> with projections k, which retain the bell, when the gas pressure is made normal, so that the main gas outlet remains open.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Weighing Apparatus
Inventor: HORMBREY GEORGE EDWIN
Filed: 1905-01-20
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 1122. Hormbrey, G. E. Jan. 20. Indicating and registering mechanism; vibration, neutralizing; weights; weights, methods of using.- The weighing operation is performed by the scale pan 14, Fig. 1, or plate 12 attached thereto automatically receiving weight disks 1 supported inside a cylinder 10 on cords 2 which hang from a support 3. The support carries a pin 4 moving up and down a slot in the cylinder. As the weights drop on to the plate 12, the supporting-cord 16 rotates the pulley 15 and shaft 19 and, through gearing 20, 23, the loose wheel 30. The clutch members 31 are separated by the forked pivoted lever 34 and cord 33 when the ring-piece 5 and weights are at their highest position. When the catch 9 is released and the weighing commenced, the members of the clutch 31 engage by the action of the spring 32, and the shaft 28 is set in rotation to turn the weight-indicating sheet 29. When equilibrium is nearly obtained, the plate 12 falls and leaves the weight 44 to operate a spring-pressed clutch and rotate a pinion. The latter operates a rack attached to a plunger, which checks the motion of the machine. When equilibrium is obtained, the arm 27 comes against the toothed wheel 25 and prevents further rotation. Special springs 38, 21 are used to bring the mechanism to its zero position. If desired, a worm 51 on the shaft 19 may operate a rack attached to an inclined plane so that the latter lifts a detent 55 from the toothed flanged portion 56 of a pulley 57 and brings another set of weights into operation. Other sets may similarly be used. Worked from the main wheel 23 is the recording-mechanism shown in Fig. 7. A strip of invoices is fed from a roller 69 and pressed against a rubber recording-sheet 29, having figures raised upon it. Another strip 63 serves for a record of the sales. A roller 72 inks a dating- roller 71. A marking-ribbon 67 rolls on rollers 68, one of which is rotated by the toothed wheel 65 operated by another wheel 66. On the same shaft 62 as the latter is a ratchet-wheel 61, its pawl 60 being attached to the operating-lever 59.

Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 12,982. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. June 23. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In automatic looms, having rotating bobbin magazines, adjustable means are provided for holding the bobbins in the magazine, and means are provided for rotating the magazine after each bobbin-transference, and also for bringing the bobbins with weft corresponding to that in the active shuttle into position to be acted upon by the transferrer as the drop-boxes are moved up and down. The magazine comprises a disk 15, Fig. 3, which is adjustably mounted upon a loose sleeve 12 on a stud 11, secured at its inner end to a circular stand 7, which has a flange 7<111> extending partially round it. Inwardly-extending arms 15<11> on the disk 15 divide the magazine into seven divisions and support a ring 17, which is provided with sockets 17<1> to receive and support the heads of the bobbins 18. A disk 19 is adjustably mounted on the hub of the disk 15, and is provided with sockets 19<11> to receive the bobbin tips, which are held in the sockets by leaf-springs 21. The disk 19 may be dispensed with, each spring 21 being adjustably secured to the disk 15 by two screws. The ends of the wefts from the bobbins are engaged in the usual manner in notches in the part 22, and are wound round a pin 24. The supporting-arm 53', Fig. 1, of the transferrer 53 is fast on a rock-shaft 53<11>, and is bent to extend through an opening 7<111> in the stand 7, the transferrer extending over and being adapted to engage the lowest bobbin in the magazine. When the transferrer is depressed to insert a full bobbin into the active shuttle, a rod 49 connected to the arm 53<1> acts through a lever 48 to disengage a hook 46 from a pivoted lever 42. This lever is then oscillated by a cam 44, and acts through a rod 41, an angle-lever 40, and a pawl 39 to rotate a ratchetwheel, which is loose on a shaft 28 and carries a stud upon which is loosely mounted a bevel-wheel 35. This wheel gears with fast and loose bevelwheels 33, 34 on the shaft 28, the wheel 34 being normally held in a fixed position by a rack 58. A bevel-wheel 27 on the shaft 28 gears with a bevelwheel 26 on the sleeve 12, which is thereby rotated at each actuation of the transferrer to bring the next bobbin into position to be engaged by the transferrer. To prevent accidental rotation of the ratchet-wheel carrying the bevel-wheel 35, and of the shaft 28, these are provided with check wheels acted upon by rolls on spring-controlled levers. To bring the division of the magazine containing bobbins with weft corresponding to that in the active shuttle into the operative position, the rack 58 is connected by suitable linkwork to the boxrod, so that, through the bevel gearing described, the magazine is rotated in unison with the rise and fall of the shuttle boxes.

Title: Improvements in Electric Circuit Breakers for Alternating Currents
Filed: 1905-11-16
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 23,624. Elektrizitõts Akt.-Ges. vorm. W. Lahmeyer & Co. Dec. 22, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cut-outs to break a circuit when an overload current occurs and upon diminution of voltage comprise two electro-magnets, one energized by a current proportional to the load and the other by a current proportional to the voltage, surrounding an aluminium &c. disk which the magnets cause to rotate, an arm upon the disk closing a relay circuit which opens the main circuit. The disk a carries upon its axis a lever b, which normally bears against a stop c. The disk is arranged to rotate between two diametrically-opposite electro-magnets, one d energized by the current and the other e energized by a current from the mains, the electro-magnets tending to rotate the disk in opposite directions. So long as the current does not exceed a predetermined maximum, the action of the magnet e is predominant and the arm b is held against the stop, but, if the current becomes excessive or if the voltage seriously diminishes, the magnet d causes the disk to rotate, the arm b forcing the contacts f, g together and completing a local circuit which operates a main switch. The motion of the disk may be retarded by means of the permanent magnet m, and the value of the predetermined overload current adjusted by inserting resistance in the circuit of the electro-magnet e or by varying the radius of the disk at which the electro-magnets act. Adjustable weights, springs, or the like may be used for the same purpose. By such means, and by altering the position of rest of the arm b or of the magnet m, the time that elapses between the overload and the breaking of the circuit may be varied.

Abstract: 4070. Ross, J., and Young, W. Feb. 19. Sharpening.-Relates to the arrangement of a grindstone for sharpening mowing-machine knives, plane irons, chisels, &c. The grindstone 6, Fig. 1, which is bevelled to grind V-shaped knives, is mounted in a frame 3 and driven by cranks 7 on the shaft 5. The work-holding frame is carried by pivoted arms 11, adjustably mounted on the frame 3 to allow compensation for the wear of the stone. The knife 20 is clamped against arms 14, projecting over the stone from the arms 11, by a piece 18 carried at the end of a pivoted lever 17 and pressed against the knife by the action of a screw 21. Pressure is applied to the knife through connecting-links 36 by treadles 34, which may be operated independently so as to produce a side depression of the knife-carrying frame and to grind one edge of the V more deeply than the other. The work-holding frame is reciprocated by the rod 22, which is slotted at the lower end. A pin 27 passes through the slot and engages with one of the holes 29 in the wheel 30, which is driven by the spur-wheel 31 on the shaft 5. The amount of reciprocation imparted to the work-holding frame is regulated by placing the pin 27 in different holes in the wheel 30. A device is provided for supporting the end of the long knife-bar, comprising a spring clip 45 suspended from a pulley 42 which runs along a bar 40 journaled in a bracket 38 vertically adjustable in a support 37. Sand is supplied to the face of the stone from the receptacle 49, Fig. 6, which is supported on a bracket 50 journaled on the vertical portion of the rod 40. The sand escapes through a hole at the bottom of the reservoir into a hinged delivery spout 52. The amount of sand delivered to the grindstone is regulated by adjusting the hinged spout by a rod 54 so as to diminish or enlarge the space between the spout and a gate 53 depending from the bottom of the reservoir. The reservoir may be divided and one portion contain water, which is delivered to the grindstone through a pipe 71 provided with a suitable tap 72. To cause the sand and water to be delivered across the width of the grindstone, the reservoir 49 and spouts are swung the requisite distance about the rod 40. A bell-crank lever 57 is pivoted at the end of a rod 62 which is adjustably fixed to the frame 3, and a connecting-rod 60 attached to the rod 22 imparts the necessary reciprocatory motion to the lever 57. The upper arm of this lever is forked and embraces a pin 59 fastened to the reservoir. To adapt the apparatus to grind plane irons &c., a grindstone with a flat face is used. The tool blade 67 is inserted between two cross-bars 15, 66, Fig. 4, and pressed against the stone by a screw 68 passing through the end of the lever 17. The work-holding frame is prevented from being reciprocated by placing the pin 27 on the rod 22 in a hole in the centre of the wheel 30.
