Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 12,549. Palmer, I. E. May 28. Cuttling.-Relates to shoots for continuously storing textile materials which are treated prior to or during their passage through the shoot with a conditioning-liquor for bleaching, dyeing, or finishing &c., the materials being piled in the shoot in crossed primary folds, each of which comprises a number of secondary folds. After passing about a driven drum 29, the material travels between drag feeding-devices on the lower ends of two frames 31, to which a to-and-fro movement is imparted by a crank 32 and a link 33 having an adjustable pin-and-slot connexion 34. The crank 32 and the feed-rolls 38, 39 are respectively driven from the main shaft 26 by chains 37, 41. The rate at which the material is fed into the shoot 2 is adjusted so that each fold extending from the front to the rear wall is made up of a series of short folds. The material, for example, rope, is traversed in addition from side to side of the shoot by passing it through a pot-eye 30 carried by rollers 50, which are reciprocated in the guide-way 51 by a chain 45 and rod 49.

Granted: 1914-02-12
Abstract: 28,781. Hanley, A. Dec. 14. Catch gear of mine-cage type. - Safety suspending-apparatus for pit cages comprises a frame between the hoisting-rope and the bridle chains of the cage provided with guides encircl:.ng the cage guide-ropes, which frame, when the hoisting-rope slackens or breaks, becomes tilted, and kinks the guide-ropes, thus arresting the cage. In the form shown in Figs 1 and 9, the members A', H' are connected rigidly together, while the member A<2> is mounted loosely on the shackle pin P<2>, which passes through them. The holes S<1> through which the guide-ropes pass are bellmouthed and provided with soft-metal spring- like cushion-pieces M. The guide parts are secured to the members A<1>, A<2> by straps C<3> and cotters, a distance-piece K being fitted. The member A<2> is fitted with a trigger mechanism comprising a lever F pivoted to it and connected at its ends to links B<2>, B<3>, which are in turn connected to a projection V on the member H<1> and to a loop T formed on its lower end respectively. A forked member U forming part of the lever F passes through guides X. Springs P, F' are provided as shown, one end of the spring F' being secured to the part U, and its other end abutting against the guide X. The member H<1> is connected to the capple or safety-hook of the hoisting-rope. Should the hoisting-rope break, the part U is thrust outward to engage the guide-rope and causes the member A<2> to swing upwards about its pivot and also assists the turning movement of the part A<1> H<1>, the guide-ropes becoming kinked as shown in Fig. 15. If the member A<1> H<1> only is used, a rope or chain E and coiled spring connected to the member and to the bridle chain assist the turning movement of A<1> H<1> should the rope break as shown in Fig. 13. The device may be applied to more than two guide-ropes or to rigid guides. In the case of rail or wood guides, an extra guiderope may be provided upon which the safety gear is to act.

Abstract: 8737. Timson, R. P., and Albree, G. N. May 31, 1912, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of; steering.-In an aeroplane, the masses are distributed so that the centre of gravity eg, Fig. 5, is in front of the centre of pressure cp of the main supporting- planes, and a tail plane T is arranged so that the air pressure acts constantly on its upper surface, whereby the moments of the forces acting on the machine are balanced about the centre of pressure. When the machine tilts sideways, the horizontal component of the pressure on the tail causes the machine to be directed towards the side on which the machine is depressed. The machine can thus be steered laterally by means of ailerons P<4> or wiug-warping devices which produce a tilting of the machine sideways. A rudder R may also be provided. The wings comprise parts P<1>, P<3> inclined upwards, connected by a part P<2> inclined downwards. The under surface of the planes is flat in the fore-and-aft direction. Stops S, S<1> are provided to limit the movement of the tail during manual adjustment. Cars.-The seat is arranged substantially coincident with the centre of gravity of the machine. Propelling.-The shaft of the propeller is arranged parallel to the flat under surfaces of the supporting-planes.
