Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 29,011. Sime, G. M. Dec. 14. Carding-engines. - In carding flax, hemp, jute, and similar fibres and their tows, the material is introduced to the cylinder in two or more graded stages so as to be subjected to a gradual attenuation. In the arrangement shown in Fig II, a card-covered roller 1 is introduced between the usual feed-rollers A, B and the main cylinder D. The roller 1 is caused to have a surface speed greater than that of the feed-rollers, but less than that of the main cylinder. A second intermediate roller may be introduced between the first roller and the main cylinder, the surface speeds of the various rollers increasing from the feedroller to the main cylinder. In carding exceptionally matted material, worker and stripper rollers may be arranged on the intermediate rollers. Fig. IV shows such an arrangement. The material is taken from the feed - rollers A, B by the roller 1, which is in turn stripped by the roller 2, the surface speed of which is somewhat greater than that of the roller 1. The material is worked on the roller 2 by groups of workers and strippers 3, 4, and 5, 6. The roller 2 is stripped by rollers 7, 9 travelling slower than the roller 2, and these rollers are in turn stripped by rollers 8, 10 which are stripped by a roller 11 which passes the material on to the main cylinder D. The speeds of the rollers 7, 8, 11 and 9, 10, 11 are successively greater than that of the adjacent roller on the left. The roller 2 may deliver direct to the main cylinder.

Title: System of Elastically Mounting the Wings of a Mono-aeroplane to render the Stability Automatic, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: ESNAULT-PELTERIE ROBERT
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 1911-03-17
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 6750. Pelterie, R. Esnault-. March 25, 1910. [Convention date]. Steering and balancing.- The main plane of a monoplane machine is adapted automatically to flex uniformly or to twist under spring control to counteract the effect of varying wind pressures. Manual adjustment of the plane by a single handlever may also be effected. The central rear portion A of the plane is connected to the spring plunger a, and the rear shrouds c to a lever d adapted to pivot vertically about the pin e against the resistance of the spring n threaded on a tube i which slides over a tube j. This arrangement allows the plane to flex upwards uniformly to adjust itself to a uniform increase of wind pressure. When the reaction on the plane tends to become asymmetrical, however, the wing twists, the shrouds c in this case causing the lever d to turn with the tube i in an horizontal plane. This movement takes place against the resistance of a spring plunger b<1> by means of the rock shaft r, arm u, and arm x secured upon the tube i. The rod f which carries the pivot e is suitably articulated to allow the horizontal movement of the lever d. The tension of the spring n can be adjusted by the hand-wheel m. Manual adjustment of the plane is effected by the lever q pivoted upon the rock shaft r. To-and-fro movement of this lever varies the incidence of the plane uniformly by the rod e<1>, sliding piece f<1>, rod h', bell-cranks i<1>, j<1> and rods n<1>, i. The point A of the plane and the lever d are thus moved simultaneously in, a vertical direction. The plane is twisted by lateral movement of the lever which rocks the shaft r and rotates the tube i by the connexions u, v, x.
