Title: Knotting Machine for Bed Quilts and the like.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1901-10-15
Granted: 1902-06-12
Abstract: 20,591. Fairweather, W., [Palmer Bros. Co.]. Oct. 15. Quilting-machines; tying or knotting.-Relates to a machine for making bed quilts composed of two sheets of fabric, with an interposed filling, tied together at intervals. The fabric C' is fed forwards a definite distance by a rotating ridged cylinder 41, which descends, is rotated by a rack, pinion, and ratchet mechanism, and rises and folds the fabric into the grooves in arms 42, Fig. 14. A needle 51 now descends, and passes its thread through the fold as indicated in Fig. 12 ; a hook 84 now descends, takes the loop, and moves backwards, while the needle is withdrawn from the fold. A looper 69, which can rotate and move up and down, now, as indicated in Fig. 15, forms a loop, through which passes the hooked end of the spiral 68. After a turn and a half of the spiral has passed through the loop, the automatically - operated nippers 98 rise, the spiral reverses its rotation, and its hooked end draws the double thread twice through the loop. The spiral then descends, grips the knot, and holds it whilst the retreating nippers draw the knot tight, after which the ends of the thread are cut by an automatically-operated blade 122, Fig. 23, and the parts return to their initial position. The projection 121 facilitates the stripping of the knot or loop from the spiral. The cylinder 41 is carried on arms which are automatically raised and lowered and moved to the right or left so that the knots in successive rows break joint and form a quincunx pattern. When a length suitable for a quilt has been formed, the knotting-devices are automatically put out of action, while the feed goes on, and so is formed a blank space which is cut across the centre. The whole of the motions of the various parts of the machine are operated in a well-known manner, and the action of the machine is continuous and automatic.

The kier consists of a closed tank a having a partition b forming a chamber a<1> in the bottom, to which steam may be supplied through a pipe s. The partition b is provided with a number of openings fitted with valves c opening downwards, and capable of being closed by floats e. From the partition b rises a stand-pipe g, closed at its upper end by a valve k, except when this valve is lifted by a float l. The valves c and k are provided with guard plates d', m. After introducing the goods and closing the kier, liquor is introduced through the pipe t between the false bottom f and the partition b, and flows through the valves c into the lower chamber a<1> until by raising the floats e it closes the valves c, after which it is allowed to rise in the tank nearly to the top of the goods. Steam is then admitted through the pipe s, and, after a certain accumulation of pressure, boiling-liquor is carried up the stand-pipe g and opens the valve k, whereupon it is discharged over the goods, until the floats e open the valves c and the pressure in the two compartments becomes equalized. A pipe o, fitted with cocks p, p<1> and a pressure gauge q, enables the pressure in either compartment to be ascertained, while a gauge w shows the height of the liquor.

Title: Improvements in Enclosed Electric Arc Lamps
Inventor: RECLUS VICTOR
Filed: 1902-12-09
Granted: 1903-11-12
Abstract: 27,133. Reclus, V., Petitdidier, H. C. F. M., and Schmitt, T. M. Dec. 9. Are lamps.-In an enclosed motor lamp, the series solenoid of which regulates energization of a shunt circuit containing the motor, the upper and lower portions of the lamp are connected by bolts 33, 36, and a bayonet joint provides for removing the lower portion to renew carbons. The arc is surrounded by concentric glass cylinders 25, 26, the outer having apertures 27 for the admission of cooling-air. Current enters by the lead 1, Fig. 1, preferably arranged in a tube 30, and passes to the uninsulated plate 31 and thence by the bolt 33 to the upper frame, with which the carbon 2 is in contact, the lower carbon being secured to the core 20 of the series coil 4. A spring 22 presses the lower carbon upwards, and when it is overcome by the series coil the extension 21 depresses the contact-piece 23 and spring 7, thereby breaking the shunt circuit at the terminal 8. The shunt coil 6 being energized, its core is magnetized and pulled down, and its flanged end, embracing the disc 14, imparts a small angular motion thereto by magnetic attraction, which motion is transmitted by gearing to spring-pressed drums 18, feeding down the upper carbon. The contact 10, 11 now breaks, and the core becomes demagnetized, and is returned by a spring, the action being repeated until the cut-out 7, 8 opens in consequence of the arcresistance falling. A ratchet-gear may be substituted for feeding the upper carbon. The upper carbon is guided by a porcelain tube, and the lower held by claws 41 on a cup for catching sparks, mounted on the series core 20, a valve in the plate 29 admitting of escape of gases from the arc-chamber. A resistance coil may be wound round the upper or lower part of the lamp.

Title: Machine for Dividing and Delivering Measured Quantities of Semi-liquid, Viscous, Plastic, Granular or Powdered Substances from bulk.
Inventor: THOMSON DAVID
Filed: 1903-03-19
Granted: 1904-06-18
Abstract: 6396. Thomson, D. March 19. Measured quantities, delivering.-A dividing- machine, for dividing in measured quantities semi-liquid, viscous, granular, and plastic substances from bulk, is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The substances to be subdivided may be dye mixtures, batters, doughs, syrups, grains, meals, powdered chalks or clays, mixed pigments, and the like, and, for treating bread doughs, a film or coating of suitable substance is applied to each individual piece at the scaling-off stage. The material fed to the hopper A is forced to the orifice E by the helix or screw B, where it is discharged into one of the two measuring cylinders F. The cylinders are alternately fed and discharged and are brought into position by means of the lever M and segment M<1> connecting the cam K on the shaft J and the cylinder slide L. A variable speed for the screw B and a ratio of speed between the screw B and the cam K are got by shifting the belt guide T' for the coned pulleys Q, Q<1>. A pressure-relief cylinder U is provided. The semicircular knife V<5> cuts the materials horizontally. The aluminium screw B, with varied pitch, may be removed to allow the use of feeders of different forms and also for cleaning, and instead of a screw a worm or coil feeder may be employed, the material being fed in by way of the cylinder U. The water-jacket V <9> provides for heating the cylinder C when materials requiring heat are treated. The cubic capacity of the receiving-cylinders F is regulated through the means shown in Fig. 4, comprising the rack pistonrods F<2> and the wheel V<10> carried by the fork V<12> on the adjustable pin V<14>. The spindle V<15>, for operating the fulcrum or pin V<14>, is connected to a revolution counter V<16>. The pistons may work by suction, in which case, the cam B' on the shaft J operates the rods B<8> through the levers B<3>, B<7>. Adhesive materials are discharged cleanly by a scraping-mechanism for the faces of the slide actuated from a scroll on the back of the cam K. To lubricate the pistons or to coat each charge with a suitable substance, the pistons have expanding rings and grooves and are fed by the pump D<4>, Fig. 8. To lubricate the slide L and the face of the pistons, two droppers are employed, and, to keep the lubricant or coating-material as required, the hot-water vessels D<9>, D'‹ may be employed. In the form of piston modified for lubricating shown in Fig. 10, expanding rings are fitted at each side of the groove G<3> and the diameter of the piston is reduced from the groove to the edge of the plate G<5>. In another modified piston, flat pieces are arranged at intervals round the back of the piston, and the annular space between these pieces is bevelled. The top side of the pump pipe G<7> is made with a projection, to which is fitted a semicircular metal ring having a lubricating-recess.
