Title: Improvements in and relating to Stop Motions for Drawing and Roving Frames of Flax, Hemp, Tow, and the like.
Inventor: KNOX BRYCE MUIR
Filed: 1903-03-21
Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 6563. Knox, B. M. March 21. Stop-motions; roving-frames; drawing-frames.- An automatic stop-motion for drawing and roving frames for flax, hemp, tow, &c. is constructed with arms 16 arranged in the path of each sliver 22 and mounted on a rock-shaft 10 carrying a crank 9 to which a lever 7 is pivoted. The slivers 22 pass over guide-pulleys 17, under bridge-pieces 21 carried by wire hoops 19 hinged to the guidepulleys, and over a guide-bar 23, and so long as the slivers run taut, the lever 7, which is oscillated from a crank wheel 14 on the back shaft 15, turns about, and rocks, the shaft 10. Under these conditions, no movement is transmitted to a lever 2, which is pivoted at 3, and engages a notch in a rod 1 projecting from, and forming a guide for, a bar carrying the belt-fork, so as to keep the belt on the fast pulley. When a sliver runs slack or breaks, the corresponding hoop 19 descends over an arm 16 and locks the shaft 10, and the lever 7 then turns about the crank-pin 8 and acts through a chain 5 to disengage the lever 2 from the rod 1, a spring then acting to move the strap fork bar and carry the belt on to the loose pulley. A similar device comprising bridge-pieces and hoops, and arms on a rock-shaft, are applied to the second row or set of slivers 25, and the crank on the rockshaft is connected by a rod 29 to the crank 9 to establish communication with the lever 2. The lever 2 can be disengaged from the notch in the bar 1, for stopping the machine at will, by a pivoted hand-lever 31. In a modified arrangement, designed to obviate the resistance of the knocking-off spring when starting the machine ordinarily, the lever 2 engages a notch in a separate rod which is acted upon by the spring and carries a plate 48 freely mounted on the rods 1,45 projecting from the strap fork bar. The displacement of the lever 2 releases the spring-actuated rod, and the plate 48 then presses back the strap-fork bar and stops the machine. An extension of the stop-motion is employed for stopping the machine in case of the sliver lapping on either of the retaining rollers 32, 34 or on the jam roller 33, or in case of a lump or a double passing. Lapped sliver or a lump causes the roller 33 to rise and lift-a a rod 35 connected to an arm 36 fixed to a shaft 38 which carries a long arm 39 and is counterbalanced. The arm 39, when lifted, releases a pivoted lever 40, and allows an arm 42 to engage arms similar to the arms 16 on the shaft 10, thus locking the shaft and bringing the stop-motion into action. Rods 35 and levers 36 are arranged above and between adjacent jam rollers.

Granted: 1905-05-10
Abstract: 10,711. Fr÷de, A. May 10. Pumps combined with traction engines.-In a motor vehicle which is specially adapted for agricultural purposes but is applicable also for pumping, watering gardens, extinguishing fires, &c., the motor is movable laterally so as to alter the position of the centre of gravity. Fig. 3 is a plan of the preferred form. The motor 20 is movable along two rods 18, 19 journalled in the frame 1, 2, which is supported on springs. It is moved by rotating the screw-threaded rod 18 by means of the hand-wheel 21, chain gearing 22, 24, 25, and spur gearing 26. The chain 24 may pass directly over a wheel on the rod 18. The motor is rigidly connected to a movable collar on the angular part 12 of the axle. This collar carries four spur-wheele, with one or other of which one of the corresponding wheels 35, 36, 37, 38 may be brought into gear, according to the speed required. These latter wheels are rotated by a long spurwheel on a shaft driven from the driving-shaft 28 by the spur-wheel 29 and one or two intermediate wheels. They are moved into gear by means of spring-pressed levers 40 provided with catches engaging with a plate 41. The springs 42 press against regulating-rings 43. The rotation of the axle is reversed by means of a lever 45 which is connected with a pivoted lever carrying one intermediate driving-wheel on one arm and two on the other. The movement of the lever throws either the one or the two wheels into gear. The axle 12 is connected with the naves of the wheels 11 by clutches 48, which may be thrown in or out of gear by means of levers 50, 53, 54 and connecting- rods 52. Near the seat 7 is another lever 56 connected to a shaft 60 which carries levers connected with band brakes passing round the naves of the wheels 11. A pump 62 may be employed to suck water through an inlet 68 and force it through an air chamber 70 to an outlet 71. The plunger 63 is driven by an eccentric 64 on the shaft 19, which is rotated by a pinion on the driving-shaft 28 gearing with a wheel 69 provided with a wedge sliding in a groove 67. The transmission gearing may be fixed, the driving-shaft 28 being connected with a long spur-wheel situated between the rods 18, 19. With this arrangement, the motor may be moved nearer to the wheels 11. The steering is effected by means of the lever 6.

Title: Improvements in the Methods of Lubricating Locomotive Cylinders.
Inventor: SMITH WALTER MACKERSIE
Filed: 1904-09-08
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 19,351. Smith, W. M. Sept. 8. Lubricating the working cylinders of locomotive engines. When the pressure in the steam chest becomes less than the atmospheric pressure owing to the regulator being shut while the engine is running, the valve a, which closes on the seat d, slides in the guide e<1> and lifts the steam valve g. This allows steam from the boiler to pass through the passages f, f<1> through the nozzle i into the branch c, which communicates-with the steam chest. At the same time, the lubricant in the tube 6 within the chamber 5 is forced by the pressure of the atmosphere through the passages 4, 3, 2, 1, after lifting the non-return valve 9 from its seat, into the nozzle i to mix with the steam. The chamber 5 is closed by a cap 7, through which is an opening 8, and the lubricant may be siphoned by a wick 6<a> into the tube 6, or conveyed through a hole in the lower part of the wall of the tube 6, the supply being regulated by a set-screw. In Fig. 5, the oil chamber 5 is shown connected by a pipe 13 to an air and steam valve, such as that shown in Figs. 2 and 3, which is of the kind described in Specification No. 571, A.D. 1889, [Abridgment Class Locomotives &c.]. The oil passes to another chamber 14 through openings 15, 16, and is regulated by a set-screw 17. After the steam regulator has been closed, the oil in the chamber 14, exposed to atmospheric pressure through the pipe 6, is forced through the passages 2, 3, 4, after lifting the valve 9, and through the pipe 13 to the air and steam valve..
