Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 13,301. Goldbacher, J. N., and Bournon- ville, E. June 27. Acetylene.-A generator operating automatically with a regulated supply of carbide is shown in section. A casing A, partly cylindrical, is divided by a partition G, H. The partition supports a cylinder P, closed at the bottom. The separate tank thus formed above the partition contains water and a floating gas bolder J. The remaining space in the casing A is the actual generator, and is filled with water up to an air-discharge valve and a top-plate b. The casing is extended to carry a carbide hopper A' and to contain a feed-wheel w, formed as shown in section, with large end discs, and carried by a horizontal shaft. The shaft carries a fixed ratchet-wheel and a heavy loose pawl lever M', which is raised by a chain J' passed over pulleys to the gas holder J, when this descends sufficiently ; the pawl in rising engages and turns the ratchet-wheel and the feed-wheel w, by which some carbide is fed into the casing A. A weighted door D' prevents free passage of carbide from the hopper. The chain is counterweighted at Q<1>. Plates V, W, X divert gas from the carbide supply channel, and an opening a allows vertical passage of gas behind the plate X. The gas passes a water seal formed by an inclined plate d and the serrated down-turned edge of the top-plate b, which also carries a curved water pipe g. It then descends through a pipe, and under the serrated edges of a box k through some water into the cylinder P. This carries perforated plates containing filtering- material A, through which the gas enters the holder J. Gas is delivered through a pipe q, which dips into water in a small separate vessel, not shown. The water in the cylinder P is introduced by a bent pipe provided with a plug o and a valve. Doors in the casing permit access to the feed-wheel w, and a window near the plates W permits inspection of the action. Lime is withdrawn by a valve L, assisted by a rotary scraper M.

Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 26,678. Edwards, J. C. Dec. 31. Loom shuttlechanging mechanism; stop-motions; shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in automatically.- An electromagnetic apparatus for controlling the means for replenishing the supply of weft in automatic looms is arranged so as to be suitable for use with shuttles or weftcarriers of well-known form. The ordinary weftfork slide 16 is formed with an aperture 15, which receives an extension 14 of the knock-off lever 12, pivoted to the breast beam 1 ; the shipper 10 is held in the notched plate 11 by the lever 12. A second slide 21 is mounted upon the breast beam, and carries a pivoted armature 25, which is held in its raised position, while the loom is running, by an electromagnet 26, supported by the breast beam. A branch 28 of the weft-fork hammer 19 travels in the bifurcated inner end of the slide 21, beneath the armature 25. The extension 14 passes through a slot 29 in the outer end of the slide 21, and in front of the slide is an arm 30, secured to an oscillatory shaft 31, which actuates the weft-replenishing mechanism 4. A handoperated T-shaped block 33 is pivoted to the slide, and this can be turned into the two positions shown in Figs. 2 and 5 respectively ; when the block occupies the position shown in Fig. 2, outward motion of the slide causes the arm 30 to be actuated, and, when the block occupies the position shown in Fig. 5, a similar motion effects the stoppage of the loom. A feeler or detector 42, having an expanded head 44, which bears against the weft during the beat-up, is adjustably attached to a rod 38, which passes through a hollow stand 36 and is fitted with a collar 39 and spring 40. The terminals 50, 48 of the electromagnetic circuit employed are respectively connected to contactpieces 51 and 46 ; the piece 46 bears against the rod 38, and the piece 51 has a bent end which normally rests against a spring-pressed collar 54. A carrier 57, adapted to strike the side of the shuttle 5, when the weft is insufficient for pressing back the feeler, is mounted to slide upon the rod 38, and carries the contact-piece 51. When the carrier is pushed back in this way, the contact between the collar 54 and contact-piece 51 is broken, and the armature 25 falls, and is pulled forwards, together with the slide 21, by the branch 28 of the weft-fork hammer. In a modification, the electromagnetic circuit is normally open, contact-pieces corresponding to the piece 51 and collar 54 being held apart by moans of a spring.
