Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanical Weft Feeling Mechanism for Looms.
Inventor: TAYLOR JOHN
Filed: 1907-03-20
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 6720. Taylor, J., and Buckley, E. W. March 20. Loom stop-motions; weft-replenishing mechanism, -A weft-feeling device is mounted on the starting- lever or on a lever bearing against the starting- lever, and has a feeler rod H, Fig. 4, which passes through coincident holes in the shuttle box and shuttle on the beat-up of the lay. The rod H has a lug H<2> engaging with a slot g<2> in the spring-controlled sliding casing G, thus forming a pivotal mounting. A split pin h passes through the rod immediately behind the flange g<1> of the casing, which is carried by a support or bearing G<2>. During the normal working of the loom, the feeler rod is kept in an inclined position by gravity, assisted by the pressure between the rod and the weft. Consequently the casing is free to slide, the rear end of the feeler passing the abutment P. When the weft is substantially exhausted, the loose ferrule L having a conical surface l contacts with the shuttle body and enters the mouth of the casing, thus moving the rod H into its operative horizontal position. The rear end of the feeler rod then engages the abutment P, thus pushing the starting-lever to stop the loom, or operating weft-replenishing mechanism. The feeler rod H is preferably constructed as shown in Fig. 8, so that the position of its nose h' may be varied, and it may be pivotally supported in the casing in any suitable manner. Thus the lug H' and slot g<2> may be in the reverse position to that shown ; in this case, the feeler rod when out of contact with the weft is horizontal, and moves into an inclined position to escape the abutment when in contact with the weft, while on exhaustion of the weft the ferrule L acts as described above.

Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 2326. Preston, F. G. P., and Ralston, G. C. Feb. 1. [Cognate Application No. 16,342, A.D. 1908, dated Aug. 1.] Reciprocating and otherwise moving chambers communicating alternately with feed and delivery.- Relates to apparatus for discharging ashes, ballast water, bilge water, &c. from ships &c., of the type in which crushed ashes &c.are passed into a chambered plug or piston to which compressed air &c. is supplied periodically. Specification No. 12,605, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Ships &c., Div. I.], is referred to. The crushed material is fed from the hopper f, Fig. 4, into the conical plug a through an opening 13 adapted to register with the opening 14 in the casing of the discharge pipe when the plug is rotated. The plug a is fed with compressed fluid when the inlet ports 9, 10 register, the exhaust port of the casing a being so arranged as to register with the exhaust port 12 of the casing b before the opening 13 is clear of the opening 14, so as to prevent the choking of the discharge pipe. The supply of operating-fluid to the plug a is controlled by a cam 7 in the sprocket-wheel y which controls a valve 2 situated in the supply pipe 3. Water is supplied to the plug, and for lubrication the spaces between the ends of the plug and casing a are connected by pipes 120, 121 to an oil supply. Various means are described for elastically pressing the plug into the walls of the casing, the arrangement shown in Fig. 4 comprising a spring 19 arranged around the stuffing-box 20, an adjustable screw bearing j being provided. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 14, the port 52 registers alternately with an inlet port 9 and exhaust port 12 of the casing b. The plug a may be divided into two compartments by a partition 65, Fig. 18, the discharge openings being contiguous to one side of the partition. In this arrangement, the valve controlling the supply of pressure fluid is operated twice in each revolution of the discharge plug. By means of an arrangement shown in Fig. 19, the supply of pressure fluid is cut off in the event of the apparatus getting jammed through the entrance of foreign substances. To the sprocket-wheel u, loosely mounted on the shaft m of the crushing-apparatus, is pivoted a cam 69, a spring-pressed pin 71 at the other end of which engages a recess in the wheel. A crank-arm 76 keyed to the shaft m is normally connected to the wheel u by a pin 75. If the pin should be sheared, the cam 69 rides over the arm 76, the pin 71 engaging another recess and in such a position that, on the continued movement of the sprocketwheel, the cam disengages the hook-shaped tripping-lever 77 from the spring-pressed valve 80 to shut off the supply of compressed air. A valve is described which is adapted to close, or tend to close, and prevent a blow-through of the pressure fluid in case the expeller plug should stop in such a position as to allow this.
