Title: An improved weaving loom
IPC: D03D49/24
Filed: 1942-09-28
Abstract: 560,330. Looms. SEAL & CO., Ltd., H., and WEBSTER, J. Sept. 28, 1942, No. 13565. [Classes 142 (i) and 142 (iii)] Two picks are made between successive beating-up movements of the batten and shedding is effected between successive picks. The invention is described in connection with a narrow - fabric loom, but is applicable to a broad loom. In looms drawing weft from a stationary supply and in which each pick is a double one, shedding takes place between successive double picks. A crank 14 on the main shaft 13 moves the batten 10 through a complete oscillation in one revolution of the shaft 13, and the picking and shedding movements may be obtained from two-lobed cams 21, 22 on a half-speed shaft 20. The first inserted pick may be held forward or partly beaten up by a comb operated independently of the reed. The sheds may be operated from cams or a dobby or from both, e.g. two sets may be operated by a dobby and one set may be operated by the cam 22.

Abstract: 514,542. Shaping wood. CASTLE BROS. (FURNITURE), Ltd., and WOOSTER, A. S. A. May 9, 1938, No. 13845. [Class 145 (i)] To secure interchangeablility in the manufacture of chairs with loose seats, the periphery of the seats and the correspondingly shaped recess in the chair are each cut by a tool which is guided relatively to the work by cam or like guides; a machine for this purpose comprises one work support for the chair and another for the seat; also the two independent tools. The machine shown in Fig. 1 is constructed with a T-shaped frame 16 having two arms 20, 22 adapted to carry the cutting mechanism for the seat and the chair respectively. An electromotor on arm 20 drives a preferably slightly conical 'tool 26 cutting the edge of the chair seat 28 which is secured to a carrier 42 adapted to slide freely in all directions on table 38 subject to the guiding effect of a grooved guiding member secured to the underside of the carrier and coacting with a pin supported by the table coaxially with the tool 26. The other arm 22 of the machine carries an electromotor 64 driving a tool 32 engaging at least two sides of the recess in the chair frame 34. The depth of cut is determined by rollers 66. 67, 68, Fig. 5, movable vertically with the tool, one of the rollers bearing on the seatframe to obtain an L-shaped recess of constant depth. The chair is clamped to a carrier 79 which is slidably supported by rollers on guides 84, on a lower carrier 78 similarly supported on guides 82 formed on a base 80, the two sets of guides being at right-angles. The two carriers are traversed on lower guides 82 by a hand lever 144 and the movement of the upper carrier on its guides 84 is limited by two pins 108 on the carrier coacting with adjustable guide levers 86 supported by the base 80.

Abstract: 314,646. Consortium fur Elektrochemische Industrie Ges., Herrmann, W.O., and Deutsch, H. May 14, 1928. Esters; acetaldehyde; phenol-aldehyde condensation products; acids.-Esters are prepared by reaction between a vinyl ester and an alcohol or phenol, preferably by heating together with a catalyst, such as sulphuric, phosphoric, benzenesulphonic, sulpho-acetic or other acid, and (or) an acid or neutral sait, such as mercury sulphate. Acetaldehyde formed in the reaction may be separated periodically or continuously, by distillation or other means. When using vinyl acetate and phenol, phenyl acetate and also a condensation product of phenol and acetaldehyde may be obtained. When using an aqueous alcohol, there is also produced the acid corresponding to the vinyl ester, and a larger quantity of acetaldehyde. The reaction may he carried out also by passing the vapours of the components over a heated surface. The alcohol or phenol may be monohydric or polyhydric and may contain an esterified hydroxyl group; mixed esters may also be prepared, such as glycol acetate-butyrate.from vinyl butyrate and glycol mono-acetate. The reaction may be carried out under increased or reduced pressure, and in the presence of indifferent gases, solvents or diluents. Examples are given of the preparation of ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and glycol diacetate.

Abstract: 239,604. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., Goulding, B. J. J., and Shuttleworth, J. June 12, 1924. Tripping-arrangements. - Rotary offset webprinting machines of the kind in which two coacting offset cylinders can be adjusted during the running of the press 'by screw-mechanism are so arranged that the two offset cylinders can be simultaneously adjusted to the same extent. The web X is perfected between offset cylinders 4, 4<a>, coacting with plate cylinders 1, 1<a>, and the offset cylinders are each mounted in a, pair of eccentric bearings 5, 5a carried by slides 6, 6a, on inclined screw rods 12. The pressure between each offset cylinder and the corresponding plate cylinder 1, 1<a> is adjusted 'by rotating the eccentric bearings 5, 5<a>, by means of cams 8 acting on notches in flanges on the bearings. The bearings are secured in adjusted position by clamping- bolts 7 which pass through slots in the bearing flanges. The slides 6, 6<a> are arranged so as to be capable of independent adjustment, or all the slides can be operated simultaneously. The screw rods 12 are engaged by nuts formed with spiral gears 16, and on each side of the press two spiral gears 17 on a shaft 18 engage the gears 16 and allow of rotation of the nuts, and thus cause the rods 12 to be moved axially. The shafts 18 are connected by bevel gearing to a common operating shaft 22 fitted with a graduated hand-wheel 23 which co-operates with an indicator 24 to indicate the printing-pressure. The gears 17 can be operated by gears 25 on shafts 26 which can be manually operated by tommy-bars. Each of the gears 17 is connected to the hub of its shaft by a clamping-bolt arranged in a slot in the felly of the wheel. By loosening the clamping-bolt of one felly, the other gear 17 can be operated independently, so that one end of an offset cylinder can be operated without the other, or one cylinder can be operated without the other.
