Title: Improvements in and relating to "Doffing" Mechanism for Spinning, Doubling and like Frames.
Inventor: NEWSHOLME NORMAN ROBERT
IPC: D01H9/04
Filed: 1913-10-28
Granted: 1914-10-08
Abstract: 24,392. Newsholme, N. R. Oct. 28. Doffing-arrangements; lifting-rails. - Spinning, doubling, and like frames are provided with duplicate spindle and lifter rails and spindles, and, in some cases, with duplicate caps and flyers, of which one set is held in reserve and is substituted for the other set when the bobbins are full. A single lifter plate may be used so cut as to leave a free outlet for the spindles when they, are (moved forward. Carriers C, Cx, Fig. 2, mounted and operated so that as one is raised the other is lowered, serve to lower one set from the operative position when the bobbins are fully wound and to raise the other set into the operative position respectively. Rack slides D' are operated to move the rails from the operative or spinning position on to the carrier C, catches E being arranged so that they are released by a catch member G on the carrier to allow the forward motion of the rails but prevent backward motion when the slides are retracted. As the carrier C is lowered, the lifter rail L is arrested in the position shown by a catch L<2>, and the spindle rail R is lowered on to clips C<6> carried by rack slides D<Î>. The slide D<Î> is operated to move the rail R into the position shown in dotted lines and to tilt the spindles, in which position the full bobbins are doffed and empty ones placed on the spindles. The slide is further operated to move the rail R on to the carrier C<Î>, which is lowered to receive it, the consequent raising of the carrier C having meanwhile released the catch L<2> and allowed the lifting- rail to fall towards the rail R. The caps or flyers are moved horizontally during the doffing operations, in the manner described in Specifications 7952/11 and 19,737/13, by means of holders F<1>, Fig. 4. When flyers are used, the spindles are turned to unscrew and release them by means such as is described in Specification 7952/11. The cap or flyer holders carry arms T<1>, T<2>, which, during the movement of the holders, are moved by camsurfaces so as to stretch the driving-tapes until they are clear of the wharls. When the spindles and rails are in the spinning position, the yarn is nipped between the tapes and the wharls, which may be notched ; rods 0 or guides on the lifting- rail may be employed to assist in the guiding of the yarn. The lifting-pokers are bent at rightangles, as shown at L<4>, Fig. 5, to support the lifting-rail, and are turned by cams L<5> on the rail to permit the rail to pass during their upward movements, the chain or springs returning the pokers after the rail has passed. In a modification, duplicate spindle rails carrying projections on which the spindles are mounted may be employed, the projections in one rail being below recesses in the rail above. The rails are mounted in a casing so that they may be moved up and down and sideways as required.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Taxameters or Fare Registers for Cabs and other Vehicles.
IPC: G07B13/00
Filed: 1913-11-03
Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 25,074. Premier Taxameter Co., [Schneider, A.]. Nov. 3. Taximeters; flag mechanism. - To prevent vehicles from being driven after the flag has been set to ' cash ' and so avoiding payment for the time spent in waiting, a shutter is lowered to cover the fare indications when the vehicle resumes its journey and remains lowered even after the flag is put to free,' thus tending to make the driver liable for the fare. When in the ' free' position the fare drums are covered by the shutter 1 which is carried by an arm 5 mounted on the shaft 4 of the drum, but when the flag is lowered to the' engaged' position shown in Fig. 1, the shutter is held in the raised position by a cam 25 engaging a spring catch 26 carried by a lever 8 to which is pivoted at 7 a lever 6 secured to the hub of the arm 5. An additional lock for the lever 6 consists of two spring-controlled levers 14, 15, Fig. 6, engaging a notch 12 in the lower end of the lever. When the flag is lowered to the ' payment ' position, as shown in Fig. 2, the catch 26 is released and a shutter 34 showing this is moved to cover the engaged shutter 39 by a cam 31 on the flag-shaft 23 engaging a projection 32 on the hub of the shutter. Should the vehicle be set in motion a cam 18 on a vehicle-driven shaft 19 removes the levers 13, 14 from the notch 12 and allows a spring 11 to raise the lever 8 and rotate the shutter 1 through the lever 6 to cover the indications. Subsequent movement of the flag to the ' free ' position fails to return the shutter since the cam 25 moves the catch 26 inoperatively. Return of the flag from the ' engaged ' to the ' free ' position also releases the shutter, to cover the indications, by the removal of the cam 25 and the levers from the notch 12 through a projection 30 on a spring-retracted lever 28 which is depressed by a pin 27 on the toothed sector 24 of the flag-shaft. The shutter is:raised on engagement by the lowering of the flag through the depression of the lever 8 by the cam 25.
