Title: A method of and apparatus for treating yarn
IPC: D06C11/00
Filed: 1929-09-28
Abstract: 319,793. Junkers, A. H. Sept. 29, 1928, [Convention date]. Yarns, brushing, polishing, &c. - Yarns are brushed, polished or otherwise treated while extending freely between two parallel drums 1, 2, Fig. 2, the yarn being unwound from spools 5 and brushed by rotating brushes 6, 7. The brushes rotate in the same direction as the passing yarn and are driven slowly or more quickly according as the yarns run with necessary brushing speed or run slowly. In treating a group of yarns the single yarns are separated by a comb device. Alternatively a single yarn may be wound a number of times round two drums, 16, 17, Figs. 3 and 4, to present a number of parallel lengths of yarn to the brushes 42. The axes of the drums 16, 17 are horizontal, but not parallel to one another, so that the yarn is automatically displaced along the drums when running. The yarn passes from a spool 19 round a tension device comprising two non-parallel shafts 20, 21, the lower of which is braked at 23, over a roller 22 to the drums 16, 17 and thence round a regulating device comprising two non-parallel drums 25, 26, Fig. 5, to the winding-spindle. The yarn is drawn over the edge of a guide member 28 through an eye 29 mounted on a friction clutch on a shaft 30, the yarn accumulating on the drums 25, 26 or being wound therefrom according as the the winding-spindle is driven more slowly or faster than the treating device. The accumulation of too many turns on the drums 25, 26 is prevented by a lever 32 arranged between the drums and adapted to control the drive of the winding spindle. The yarn is initially treated by brushes 45, 46, 47, the brush 45 being moistened by water or steam, the brush 46 containing paraffin, and the brush 47 serving as a distributor. The yarn is dried by warm air drawn by a fan 15 through a heater 14 while clearing-drums 50 are pressed elastically against the drums 16, 17 at the point where the yarns are first wound. Each of the three pairs of drums over which the yarn passes is arranged in the same manner, so that the yarn is automatically traversed along the drums.

Title: Improvements in or relating to aircraft with rotative wings
IPC: B64C27/02
Filed: 1925-11-24
Abstract: 264,286. La Cierva, J. de. Nov. 24, 1925. Machines supported by rotary wing-systems; steering, balancing, and regulating altitude.-Relates principally to the following improvements in the means for controlling aircraft with freelyrotative wing-systems of the kind described m Specification 196,594. (1) The controlling surfaces are comprised of or embodied in continuous planes extending from the fuselage. Such planes are located below the rotating wing-system and are adjustable as a whole for lateral control, or they may be formed of a fixed part B, Fig. 1, with the usual ailerons D, D<1>, two alternative forms being shown in the Figure. Where fixed wings are employed they may be used for supporting a pair of lateral engines or floats. (2) Means are provided for controlling the lateral or fore-and-aft inclination of the axis of rotation of the wing system or for bodily displacing it to compensate for variations in the centre of gravity of the machine. Fig. 4 shows means for varying the lateral inclination, in which the wing-system rotates on a shaft H, mounted on a pivot K in the pyramidal supporting structure L, and having at its lower end a toothed segment M engaging a worm N on a transverse shaft O rotatable by a hand-wheel P. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, energy derived from the rotating wing- system in flight is utilized to move the pivoted mounting H which comprises a tubular shaft with laterally extending bosses Q to which are pivoted bell-crank levers R connected through rods R' to a pivoted cross-head S<2> carrying a control lever S. The shorter arms of the bell-crank levers R serve as bearings for shafts T universally jointed at points T<1>, T<2> and carrying at their upper ends friction discs U adapted to engage a drum V on the member J to which the blades are jointed. The lower ends of the shafts T are supported in bearings W and carrying bevel wheels X which engage wheels X<1> feathered on a worm Y working in a threaded nut Y' pivotally jointed to a plug Z slidable in the hollow shaft H. Movement of the lever S to the left or right brings the disc U on the opposite side into engagement with the drum V. The rotation of the wing-system is transmitted to the worm Y which moves the nut Y' and inclines the wing-system, the relative positions of the drum V and discs U being maintained during the movement. To prevent excessive inclination of the system, the nut Y<1> is arranged to disengage the gear wheels X, X' when a predetermined limit of its movement is reached. When the desired inclination is reached the lever S is returned to neutral position and the disc 11 is disengaged. Locking means may be provided for holding the shaft H in its adjusted position. The axis of rotation of the wing-system may be bodily displaced bv mounting the support in a movable carriage displaceable within convenient limits in the body by worm-gearing. According to the Provisional Specification, control may be effected by controllably damping the beating movement of the wings.

Title: Apparatus for removing the stoppers from screw-top bottles
IPC: B67B7/18
Filed: 1948-11-16
Abstract: 651,953. Unscrewing stoppers. ARMSTRONG, N. F., and TWEDDELL, J. A. Nov. 16, 1948, No. 29699. [Class 125(ii)] [Also in Group XXII] Apparatus fo removing s c r e w stoppers from bottles comprises a chuck mountec on a driven mem ber and having chuck jaws 6 in the form of internally and externally tapered segments slidably mounted in a casing 5 with which their externally-tapered faces coact to effect transverse movement of the jaws, the arrangement being such that the jaws move axially against resilient means 9 as the stopper is inserted and axial pressure on the bottle then unscrews the stopper. As shown in Fig. 1, the casing 5 is mounted in a cylindrical housing 1 for rotation through a flanged sleeve 3 by a belt pulley 4 or flexible shaft. The upper end of the casing 5 has an inwardly projecting rim with sloping faces 5a, 5b, and the segments 6 are received by the surface 5a being pressed into engagement therewith by a spring 9 acting on an abutment tube 8. A vertical groove 1b on the inside wall of the housing 1 permits lubrication of the outer face of the casing 5 by a grease nipple 10. In operation, the apparatus is secured to a base by a flange la, and with the stopper of an inverted bottle located between the recessed and downwardlyflared portions 6c, 6d of the jaws 6, the act of removing the bottle causes the jaws to grip the stopper and unscrew it. The extracted stopper is pushed by the application of the next bottle through the chuck jaws into a flexible pipe 11 for collection. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the jaws 14 converge downwardly so that the action of placing the bottle in position causes the stopper to be gripped tightly by the jaws and to be unscrewed as the bottle is pressed downwardly. If desired, the flange 1a, Fig. 1, may be used for mounting handles when the apparatus is portable and applied by the operator to individual bottles. To hold the bottles against turning, a sleeve is mounted for vertical movement on the casing against a spring so that, when a bottle is in position, the end of the sleeve engages a shoulder on the bottle. The Provisional Specification describes also the chuck casing as mounted at the lower end of a hollow driving-spindle which runs on ball-bearings in an outer casing; in this case, as the chuck jaws are applied over, and grip, successive stoppers, they accumulate in the hollow spindle and are forced upwardly therein for discharge through a flexible delivery pipe. The hollow spindle may be driven manually or by electric or fluid-driven motor.

In a modification of the anti-skid control device of the main Patent the deceleration sensing means comprises an electromagnet 43, 44 instead of the flywheel 11. A resilient lever 46 is loosely mounted in slots 52 and pin 53 where it is spring loaded. A piston 58 presses on this lever which acts on a valve 68 controlling the supply of air to the brake control unit 89. The electromagnet also presses on the lever through pushrod 45. When master cylinder 10 supplies pressure to piston 58, the top of the lever is pressed to the right against spring 54 to take up the slot length 52, the lever pivoting about pin 45. This operates valve 68, which operates the piston of an auxiliary master cylinder 17 to apply the brakes to augment braking of front wheels 12 and to apply the rear brakes 19. When the wheels slip, a control unit 26 feeds a signal to the electromagnet coil 43. This displaces the lever about pin 53 to close the valve 68 and relieve the brakes.
