Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus to be used in the Washing or other Treatment of Cloth in Rope Form in Bleach-works and elsewhere.
Inventor: MELLING SAMUEL
IPC: D06F11/00
Filed: 1911-01-12
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 833. Melling, S. Jan. 12. Winch type; circulating or passing materials through fluid - supplying apparatus, - In connexion with apparatus for washing and otherwise treating fabries in rope form, use is made of porcelain, earthenware, or enamelled wood or like rings or sections carried on a mandrel &c. for guiding the cloth in lieu of a " peg-rail." The mandrel may be made to move in the event of its encountering a knot or tangle in the cloth, this movement automatically stopping the machine. In, e.g., a winch machine, Fig. 1, the porcelain &c. rings or sections b are strung on a wooden mandrel or shaft a, and are circular or, preferably, square, Fig. 6, or oblong, Fig. 8. For the guidance of the cloth, each section has a smooth groove b<1> formed by the rounded boss b<2>, Fig. 3, which joins the outer squared flanges b<3>. The boss may be square in cross-section, b<2Î>, Fig. 6, the channels being formed halfround. Each section b may consist of halves with interposed washers, and interposed between each section on the mandrel a is a rubber or like disk c, Fig. 1. The whole guide-rail A may be reciprocated endwise as by edge-cam gear e, g, h. Rotation of the mandrel A is normally prevented by the action of wedges a<2> and screws a<3> on its bushed and reduced ends a<1>, but should there be tangle &c., it catches in one of the guiding-grooves and slightly rotates the mandrel, Fig. 6. This rotation actuates, for example, suitable lever mechanism m, n, n<1>, o which carries the clutch-striking gear and so stops the machine. A hand-lever p is provided for restarting the apparatus and resetting the mandrel a. The mandrel a is mounted in bearings with removable parts to facilitate rapid removal, and may be arranged to be shifted by hand to prevent undue wear on the driving- bowl j &c. If it be desired to rotate the rail A, it may be geared to the bowl j. The grooved sections b on the mandrel a may be made solid throughout or in sections of any suitable number of units.

Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 10,006. Rich, C. C. April 25. Speed-varying mechanism. -Hydraulic transmission of power apparatus comprises a single pump operating a pair of motors arranged on the back axle of a motor-vehicle, the control being obtained through a special rotary valve. Fig. 1 shows the pump P and motor case 10, and the operating and controlling means therefor, arranged on a chassis. Fig. 2 shows an horizontal section and plan view of a part of the mechanism, Fig. 3 is a part sectional elevation of the apparatus, and Fig. 4 is a developed view of the valve employed. The transmission shaft C drives the pump P which delivers liquid to the motors 17 secured to the two shafts 15 of the back axle. The housing of the pump is formed with fluid intake and discharge openings 3 secured to the valve casing 6. The latter is formed with double nipples 7 on the side opposite the pump connexions for attachment to the motor conduits. The cylindrical valve 18 has the periphery divided into three functional parts. When the valve is turned in one position, the transversely extending parallel passages X, Y that are formed in one portion of the valve 18 will be brought into register with ports 19 communicating with both of the arms 7 leading to the intake and discharge of the motor M, and also in register with the ports 20 which open into the interior of the valve casing 6, through lateral passages 21 leading from the nipples 5. In this position, the pump rotates and merely circulates the operating-liquid without driving the motor M, the liquid in the latter also circulating from intake to discharge and back again if the vehicle be in motion. The second of the functional parts is formed with obliquely extending passages X<1>, Y', one being a groove and the other a bore to permit crossing. When this portion of the valve is in register with the ports 19, 20, the liquid is driven from the pump, through the motor, and back again, so producing forward drive. The third portion of the valve is formed with circumferential passages X<11>, Y<11>, and when these ports are brought into register with the ports 19, 20, the reverse drive is produced on the motor. In order that the valve may be easily operated without sticking and without any tendency to choke the engine, all the passages in the valve 18 are formed with lateral extensions 22 separated by small and obliquely-extending webs 23. The valve may be operated through a pinion and rack 24, 25 actuated by the hand-lever 26.
