Title: Improvements in Whip Stitch and like Sewing Machines.
Inventor: WEVER FRITZ
Filed: 1904-03-17
Granted: 1904-04-21
Abstract: 6532. Wever, F. March 17. Overedge-stitching machines ; loop-stitching machines; needles.-Relates to methods of actuating the looping-needles in a whip-stitch sewing-machine. In Fig. 1, the vertical needle 2 is driven in the usual manner by the lever 22. The looper 4, containing an underthread, places a loop through the needle loop, and this is caught by a hook 16 and passed on to the front of the fabric under the needle, which stitches it down. The looper 4 oscillates on the supports 6 at right-angles to the feed of the material. To cause it to execute a rapid movement when in the needle loop, an eccentric 8 which is geared to the driving-pulley 3 by spurwheels 9, operates one end of a bell-crank lever 11, the other end being pivoted to a connecting-rod 12. The rod 12 is connected to a toggle-joint 13, one arm of which is pivoted to the support 6 and the other arm oscillates the looper. The highest and lowest positions of the eccentric correspond with the extreme left and right-handed positions of the looper. To prevent the looper from making a stitch when the needle 2 is not in the material, the radius of the driving spur-wheel 9 is made one half of that of the follower. A hooked catcher 16 which takes up the looper thread is held in links 17, 18 on a support 19. The axes of these links are inclined to one another to enable the catcher 16 to move down behind the needle 2 and round the edge of the looper upwards in front of the needle. The thread is thus lifted obliquely upwards to the needle by means of a lever 20 and rod 21, the latter being actuated by the lever 22. If the seam is to be made by three threads, the hook carrier 16 itself carries a third thread and with it locks the looper thread, whereupon its own thread is stitched down by the needle thread.

Title: Improvements in Feeding and Igniting Mechanism for Explosive Motors Worked by Solid Explosive.
Inventor: LORENZ FRANZ RUDOLF
IPC: F02B45/06
Filed: 1904-11-15
Granted: 1905-01-26
Abstract: 24,742. Lorenz, F. R. Nov. 15. Solid-explosive engines.-A device for supplying solid explosives to explosion engines and igniting them is shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The explosive is fed to the worm conveyer c, and is discharged into one of a series of apertures b' in the revolving disc b. Between the end of the conveyer and the disc b is an oscillating arm 2, having a central hole through which the charge is projected into successive apertures in the disc while the arm remains stationary. The hole in the arm is formed with knife-edges which sever the charge deposited in the perforations from that in the conveyer. The conveyer receives motion from the adjustable frictionoperated disc t<2>, the position of which is controlled by the governor as shown in Fig. 1. Beneath the disc t<2> is a revolving roller u<6> having a tapering, projecting surface u<7> which engages with and drives the disc t<2>. Provision is made to keep the projection u<7> in contact with the disc, by mounting the roller in movable bearings. The speed of the conveyer may be adjusted at will by regulating the position of the roller u<6> by means of the screw u<6>. The disc perforations b<1> carrying the charges are successively brought into coincidence with the aperture A' in the cylinder end by the oscillation of the cam-operated lever g. At the end of the lever is a toothed segment e<1>, which engages with the loosely-mounted portion e of a clutch having teeth which engage with others on a collar f, fixed to the shaft d carrying the disc. The clutch is held in contact by the spring 8, and is prevented from running back by the pawl 4 and ratchet f<2>. The charges, which remain stationary when opposite the aperture in the cylinder, are ignited by detonating caps carried in a band a, which passes through a slot in the plate a<2> situated between the disc and the screw l. The striker s, after having fired the cap, is returned by the inclined face on the screw l engaging with the face s<2> of the striker, and is retained in the striking position by the spring controlled arm s<3>. The striker is released bv raising the arm s<3> by means of the cam s<4>. To secure a gas-tight joint between the cylinder end and the disc at the time of ignition, the disc is forced against the face of the cylinder by a camoperated arm n which carries a toothed segment n' engaging with teeth on the screw l. If preferred, the spring 7, Fig. 3, may actuate the screw to advance the disc, while the arm performs the backward stroke. The arm and screw may be used to carry the plate a<2>, through which the band supporting the detonators passes, forward during ignition to secure a gas-tight joint with the disc. The arm n actuates the cutter arm 2, and advances the detonator band a by the pawl w<2> and. ratchet w<3> shown in Fig. 3.
