Title: An Improved Gill Box Drawing Head.
Inventor: OFFERMANN HUBERT LEOPOLD
Filed: 1905-12-11
Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 25,742. Offermann, H. L. Dec. 11. Gill boxes or frames. - In a gill box drawing- head having gills provided with two rows of pins of unequal length, a more uniform drawing of the sliver is effected by withdrawing the gills in steps, so that the front and shorter row of pins is completely withdrawn at the first step, leaving the longer row penetrating the sliver, the longer row being then withdrawn at the second step after being advanced to the same distance from the drawing-rollers at which the shorter row was withdrawn. A head with a double row of gills having two rows of pins is shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and all the pins are equi-spaced. A step c, equal in width to the distance between two rows of pins, is formed on the lower gill slide b, and when the front gill has been advanced to the end of the slide by means of the usual screws, an auxiliary hammer f depresses it on to the step c, thus withdrawing the front and shorter row of pins from the sliver. The screws continue to advance the gill until it reaches the edge of the step c and the longer row of pins is in the position at which the shorter row was withdrawn, when the usual hammer g acts to withdraw the longer pins from the sliver. Corresponding hammers f<1>, g<1> on the upper screw act in a similar manner on the following upper gill to raise it out of action in two steps. The arrangement is applicable to a head having a single row of gills, provided the pins are equi - spaced, the step c suitably modified in width, and the nip of the rollers downwardly displaced into the plane of the upper edge of the gills.

Abstract: 375. Schlickeysen, C. Jan. 5. Edge-runners and pans and like mills.-Relates to a mill for crushing clay and like materials and consisting of cylindrical or conical runners, such as 8, 8<1>, and a revolving table or disk 9 having an annular guiding surface 3. The parts are so arranged that an angle is formed as shown at 11, 11<1> between a portion of the runners and the table. Flanges or knives 12, 12' are formed on the end of the runners so as to come into contact with the table. Sheet-metal guides for directing the material are fixed on the disk 9 so as to form an acute angle with the flanges 12, 12<1>. The axles 7 of the runners 8 are mounted in bearings in brackets 6 pivoted at 5 to standards 4, so that the runrers are free to rise in passing over any large piece of material. The inner ends 18, 18<1> of the axles of the runners 8, 8<1> are supported in guides in a vertically-sliding bearing so that the runners do not touch the grinding-surface. The bearing is supported on a collar 21 on the fixed shaft 2 and is held down by weights 22. The end 18<1> of the runner 8<1> is allowed more play than is given to the runner 8 as the material fed to the table by the shoot 23 is carried first beneath the runner 8<1>. The angle 11<1> between the runner 8<1> and the table is also greater than the angle between the runner 8 and the table. Renewable plates with ribs or teeth are fixed in that part of the table which makes an angle with the runners. Rods provided with scrapers are fixed in holes in the collar 21 on the shaft 2. The Specification describes several modifications. The sliding bearing for the inner ends of the runner shafts is held down by an horizontal disk supported between two vertical cylinders in such a way that the disk will be broken if the pressure should exceed a certain limit. In one form of machine, the runners are made cylindrical, and, in another form, the runners are conical but the part of greater diameter is placed near the centre of the machine. The rotating disk is shaped to correspond with the runners.

Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 4759. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. Feb. 27. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In Northrop looms, the filling- change operating rod or rock-shaft 16, Fig 2, is returned to normal position by a light spiral spring 18, Fig. 3, coiled round, and fastened at one end to the said shaft near the weft-fork slide 11, and fixed at the other end to one of the shaft bearings &c. The rock-shaft has an arm or jaw 30, on which is pivoted an arm or jaw 31. A light expansion spring 35 is placed between the arms 30, 31, and normally keeps them closed over a stud 28 on the forwardly-extending enlargement 27 on the shuttle feeler 20, and when the rock-shaft is operated by the weft fork slide, projects the rearwardly-bent portion 22 of the shuttle feeler into the shuttle box. The shuttle-feeler shaft 21 is thus rocked, and an arm 23 thereon, having a slotted upturned finger 24 embracing a pin or stud on the pivoted dog 8, rocks the dog 8 into position to be struck by a bunter on the lay, so that the bobbin &c. is changed by the tranferrer 5. If an improperly positioned shuttle prevents complete movement of the shuttle feeler and the finger 24, so that the pivoted dog is not raised, the arms 30,31 are separated and the spring 35 is compressed. The shuttle feeler and finger 24 are so positioned that their weights tend to return the rock-shaft to its normal position. This action is also assisted by the compressed spring 35.
