Title: Improvements in Rope and Cord Making Machines.
Inventor: NORMAN THOMAS WOOD
Filed: 1902-02-25
Granted: 1902-06-19
Abstract: 4758. Norman, T. W. Feb. 25. Machines for making ropes and cords.-As adapted for making rope, the machine consists of a number of spinning or twisting heads, Fig. 1, working in conjunction with a reeling - device, Fig. 5. The strand bobbin d is mounted in the flyer c between a swivelling-yoke 18 and a finger spring 21. The strand o from the bobbin passes under a curved guide-plate 17 and over a pulley 30, and is then coiled round a tension device consisting of two rollers h, i. The roller h is adjustable by means of a thumb-screw 24, Fig. 4. The guide-plate 17 forms part of a heavy non-rotating cradle 13 supporting the tension device, and the strand, after leaving the tension device, is twisted and passes over guidepulleys 9 on the flyer frame, and then to a feeding or drawing-off device k. The strands o are twisted into the rope 36, which passes through a second feeding-device 38, Fig. 5, and the rope then passes over rollers 58, and is again twisted before it passes on to the guide-roller 94 on the carriage 69, which feeds it on to the take-up bobbin 83. The feeding- devices k, 38 consist of a pair of geared rollers l, 34, between which is a small hollow and preferably loosely-mounted jockey roller m. The line or rope is coiled round the rollers, so that a wedging action is produced, which causes the line or rope to be gripped and drawn forwards as the feeding- device is rotated. The carriage 69 is mounted on a spindle carried by a cradle, held stationary by gearing 86, and is rotated by worm-wheel gearing 66. The take-up bobbin is connected to a disc 76 by a dog 84, and friction washers 77 are placed between the disc and the bobbin-driving gear 73, so that slip can occur proportionately to the degree to which the bobbin is filled. An automatic device for stopping the machine if the line breaks is fitted to both ends of the machine, and consists of a pivoted stirrup 95 fixed to one end of each rotating frame. The line or rope passes over the stirrup and secures it, but when a breakage occurs the stirrup flies out and catches the arms 97 on a rocking shaft 99, which is connected to suitable stopping-mechanism.

Granted: 1903-04-30
Abstract: 12,880. Blumer. L., [trading as Zwieger, (Successor), H.]. June 5. Resinous compounds; varnishes.-Relates to a process for the synthetical preparation of resinous substances having properties which resemble shellac and capable of replacing the latter in the manufacture of varnishes &c. Organic oxy-acids, such as tartaric acid, are mixed with a solution of formic aldehyde in a double vessel lined with lead, and a phenol, such as carbolic acid or a-naphthol is added. Gentle heat is then applied until the contents of the vessel are in a state of active ebullition. A resinous mass floats on the surface, whence it is removed, placed in hot water, and freed from any phenol or formic aldehyde adhering to it, by being boiled with the addition of a little ammonia. It is then poured into cold water, when it solidifies. When a-naphthol is used, the resin no longer melts under water ; it is therefore purified in the form of a powder.

Safety suspending or retaining apparatus; bufers; shocks, preventing. -Relates to apparatus of the kind in which the cage of a passenger and goods elevator or lift is stopped on attaining an excessive speed. Secured to the floor a of the cage are bolts f, which carry stop nuts, and on which is guided a beam b separated from the cage by springs f<1> and carrying the safety-grips. On the arrest of the beam b by the safety-grips, the springs f<1> are compressed and cushion the shock to the cage. Upward rebound of the cage is prevented by a ratchet-threaded screw g secured to the floor a engaged by a spring split-nut mounted in the beam b. The safety-grips comprise rack wedges r, forced into engagement with opposite sides of the guides by pinions mounted on shafts m, n, adapted to be operated by a lever s engaging stops on the governor rope d, one of such stops comprising a cushioning-spring 8. The lever s is normally held stationary with sufficient force to carry the rope d with the cage, by a catch pin s'. On the speed becoming excessive, the governor, which is driven by the rope d, causes the eccentric grip, Fig. 8, to hold the governor rope and thus operate the lever s. The wedges are released to allow the gradual descent of the cage by a downward pull of the governor rope. During normal working, the beam b and cage are held apart by air-cushion devices k, k<1>, into which air is forced by a pump l on the cage. On the governor rope being gripped to operate the wedges r, the air is simultaneously released from the cylinders k, k<1>, to allow the springs f<1> to come into play. by a stop on the governor rope operating valves 19 through a lever 20 &c.
