Abstract: 17,905. Wardwell, S. W. Aug. 5 Braiding - machines.- The braided fabric b is regularly disposed on the take-up reel R by means of a traversing guide A actuated by a heart cam 64, the motion of which is derived from a striker 77 on the drawing-off wheel W, a weighted pawl 70, and a ratchet-wheel 63. The braid b passes round the wheel W and over the guide-arm A, and the end is fastened to the take-up reel R. Each reel is removably mounted between the legs t, t<1> of two adjacent braiding-machine tables. The reel is carried by studs 2, 25 on the driving and disengaging gear respectively, and is driven by an arm 6 rotating with the stud shaft 2. The drive is by chain and spur gearing combined with a friction clutch which allows slipping to take place as the effective diameter of the reel is increased by the braid laid upon it. The pinion 10 is held between two disks 11, 13 and the parts are pressed together by an adjustable spider spring 16. The disengaging-gear comprises swinging arms 23 carrying lugs 31 engaged by a crank-arm 35 having a handle 36. The arm 35 is below the centre 34 in the position shown so that the device is secured from accidental disengagement through vibration, the handle 36 being prevented by a stop from turning to the right. When the handle is turned to the left, the gear is immediately disengaged,

Patent GB-191120134-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Valves.
Inventor: PANKHURST VICTOR HAWKINS
IPC: F01L3/00
Filed: 1911-09-11
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 20,134. Pankhurst, V. H. Sept. 11. Spindles.-In order to prevent the head of a lift valve from becoming completely detached if the spindle breaks, a rod d, Fig. 1, screwthreaded at its lower end, is let into a hole c drilled in the valve. The hole c is provided with an enlargement f which accommodates the head e of the rod d. If the spindle b of the valve breaks, the head e of the rod d prevents the valve from becoming completely detached, at the same time allowing the valve head a small amount of vertical movement and so preventing it from forming a tight joint with its seating. Warning is thus given of the broken stem. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the valve stem b is bored to receive a rod k<2> screwed into the head of the valve at j and provided with an enlargement k<1> at its lower end adapted when the valve spindle breaks to slide in a recess k in the spindle. A cotter l<1> passes through an opening in the spindle and through a slot in the enlargement k<1> and supports a collar r<1> carrying a spring p, which presses at its upper end against a collar r formed on a slidable sleeve p<1>. In the event of the spindle b breaking, the spring p presses the valve head upwards until the enlargement k<1> of the rod k<2> reaches the end of its travel in the recess k. In a third modification, the valve is provided with a rod screwed into the head of the valve, as shown in Fig. 5, but the spring is placed directly beneath the rod in a recess formed in a continuation of the valve spindle.

Abstract: 23,202. Walker, W. Oct. 20. Refrigerating, compression machines and condensers for.-In apparatus particularly adapted for use upon ships in the tropics, a portion of the ammonia &c. after passing through a cooling-device 27 is further cooled in a condenser 2. To obtain a supply of cold water for this condenser, the water is circulated in a closed circuit and is cooled by a portion of the refrigerating-fluid. The water is cooled in a chamber 8 containing a coil 7, to which a portion of the ammonia &c. from the condenser coil 2 is supplied by a pipe 6. The ammonia returns from the coil 7 to the compressor 3 by the pipe 9, these pipes 6, 9 being each fitted with two valves 13, 14, 11, 12 for the control of the flow of the refrigerating- fluid. The water is drawn from the chamber 8 through a grating 23 and pipe 24 by a pump 15, and supplied to the condenser by the pipe 17, the water from the condenser returning by the pipe 19 to the chamber 8 where it may be sprayed over the coil 7 by a spray pipe 21. Water may be admitted from the sea &c. through the pipe 25. The pump 15 is mounted on the chamber 8 so that any leakage from the pump may pass to the chamber.

Title: Machine for Dyeing, Washing and the like Hanks of Yarn.
Inventor: SCHLUMPF JACQUES
IPC: D06B3/08
Filed: 1912-02-08
Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 3213. Schlumpf, J. Feb. 8. Hank type.-In automatic apparatus for dyeing &c. hanks of yarn, as in that of Specification 13,982/11, the hanks are dyed by suspension in a vat from carriers, each having two bars, parallel, horizontal and superposed, and have their positions thereon changed by raising each carrier, allowing it to rotate about its lower bar, and then again about its lower (normally upper) bar, so that, when placed again in the vat, it has rotated through 360 degrees and returned to its original position. The present apparatus comprises a machine, having a casing C, which runs by means of driven rollers a, a' on rails .1, 2 over a fixed vat k. An electromotor 3 furnishes the power for effecting the various movements. On pivots 6,6' on either side of the machine are mounted cog-wheels 4, 4<1> respectively carrying rings 7, 7<1> provided each with five teeth 8, 8<1>. Circular racks 9, 9<1> keyed to the pivots 6, 6<1> mesh with cog-wheels 10, 10<1> having 1/5 th of the diameter of the racks and mounted on the first cog-wheels 4, 4<1>, and each carries a disk 11, 11<1> bearing a crank-pin 12, 12<1>. These pins project through slots 13, 13<1> of wheels 15, 15<1> each having five tappets 14, 14<1>, and mounted on disks 16, 16<1> which are fastened to horizontal bars 17, 17'. These bars 17, 17<1> are horizontally displaced in the direction of travel of the machine by two pairs of levers 18, 18<1>, of which each pair is connected with a regulating device for varying the direction of travel. The rings 7, 7<1> and wheels 15, 15<1> work with two pairs of hooks 20, 21 which swing on shafts 25, 26. In operation. the upper bar e of a hank support b is lifted out of its notches on the vat k by the teeth 8, 8<1> so that the lower bar f is carried above the level of the liquid and can be seized and lifted by a pair of hooks 20 or 21, depending upon the direction of travel. The upper bar e, with the hanks x then falls, so that it rests on the wheels 7, 7<1>. The wheels 15, 15<1> are turned for a short period of rotation in a reverse direction with respect to the wheels 7, 7<1> by the pins 12, 12<1> and are then again pushed forward in the rotary direction of 7, 7<1>, so that the tappets 14, 14<1> seize the bar e and the support b turns a second time, and about the bar e, the hooks releasing the bar f. The wheels 7, 7<1> then let the support b on to two rails 22, 22<1> and the tappets 14, 14<1> push it off on to the notches of the vat k. The hooks 20, 21 may be thrown out of action so that the machine only lifts the supports b and puts them down again without any rotation thereof.

Abstract: 5415. Hartmann & Braun Akt.-Ges. March 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Low-pressure metallicvapour apparatus.- I n a rectifier h a v i n g several anodes i inserted from above and arranged in a ring near the walls, the lower ends of the anodes are enclosed within a screen j having a central orifice o through which the arcs pass to the cathode, which consists of a part of the liquid surface k confined by an insulating - tube m. The screen j, which may be of porcelain or other insulating-material, or of sheet-iron if well insulated, protects the anodes from the cathode blast and prevents discharge from the anodes to the walls of the vessel. Non-conducting vapour rising from the cathode passes outside the screen. The vessel may be jacketed by cooling - liquid. The anodes may be provided with hoods; they may be connected in parallel or to the separate phases of a polyphase system. In a modification, the anodes depend from a single conductor introduced through the top cover. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also apparatus in which the anodes are introduced laterally and have protecting-hoods which project through or above the guiding screen j. In such forms, the screen j may he extended downwards to the cathode confining tube m or may be united with it. The anodes are placed further from the cathode for high voltages than for low. There may be two or more sets of anodes at different levels. The container may have a dome-shaped condensing-chamber. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
