Title: Improvements in and relating to the Pattern Mechanism of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1905-11-21
Granted: 1906-10-11
Abstract: 23,942. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Nov. 21, Loom dobbies.-Relates to the pattern mechanism of looms requiring a long pattern or a pattern with two or more different weaves. The invention is shown applied to a Hollingworth & Knowles head motion, in which the pattern cards 32, Fig. 2, operate spring - controlled needles 46, so that needles 12 are or are not hooked on and raised by a griff 11 on a cam-operated lever according to the pattern indication, the raising or lowering of the needles raising or lowering the vibrator gears so that the latter may be turned by the upper or lower gears respectively. The cards are provided with four or other number of rows of holes, and the card cylinder is raised or lowered so as to place one of these rows into operative position according to pattern mechanism on the cards. When a change of pattern is desired, the pattern card 32, having special holes in it for such indication, allows a special indicator needle 46<a> to be acted upon by a spiral spring 47, and cause a special hook wire 14 to hook over the left plate 13 on a cam-operated lever 9, whereby an arm 15, Fig. 4, is raised ; this rocks a shaft 16 and, by means of an arm 18 engaging a collar 19 on a shaft 20, moves the latter so that a star-wheel 21 is placed in position to be engaged by pins 23<1> on a pin-wheel 23, on a shaft driven from the shaft 5. The star-wheel on the shaft 20 and a cylinder 24 thereon, carrying pins 24<1>, are turned one-sixth of a revolution. The pins are of different length so that a lever 25 supported thereby is raised or lowered and, by means of a connector 27, a lever 28 and a lever 30, supporting the card cylinder, are raised or lowered, thus bringing into operative position a different row of holes on the cards so that the pattern is changed. The lever 30 is made in two parts so as to be adjustable in length. A flat spring 40 is secured to a rod 38 on an extension of the arm 30, and keeps the pattern cards in place. A cord 43' passes round the card cylinder under the ends 32 and also round a roller 43 carried on a rod 42 on an arm 41 on the rod 38, and acts to strip the cards off the cylinder as it revolves. The arm lever 30 and card cylinder are moved to and from the needles by an arm and eccentric on the shaft 7, and the card cylinder is turned by a hook 36.

Patent GB-190606333-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Continous Brick Kilns and the like
Inventor: BARNETT SAMUEL
Filed: 1906-03-16
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 6333. Barnett, S., Hadlington, R. J., and Hinton, S. March 16. Kilns.-In a continuous brick kiln, two separate furnaces B, A are placed between the chambers, and flues and dampers are so arranged that the waste cases from a burning - kiln can be passed through successive kilns, while the heat remaining in the kiln after firing can be used for heating air, which is afterwards passed through the grate and into a kiln which is just being started. An additional air supply for the furnaces is heated in the kiln setting. Figs. 2 and 6 show part longitudinal sections in different planes, Fig. 4 a part section of a double row of kilns, and Fig. 10 a plan on the line 17, Fig. 4. The heat from the grates A, B of, say, chamber No. 3 passes through three central flues c<1> and dampers c<2> into kiln No. 4, and then through another set of flues d<1> and dampers d<4> into and through kilns No. 5 &c. In a plane below the flues c', d' are main hot-air flues M, Fig. 6, which communicate with the grates through dampers m' and with the outer air, to obtain additional hot air, through dampers m<6> and passages m<2>, m<3>, m<4> in the setting, Figs. 4 and 10. Thus, by opening the dampers m<1> of a recently fired kiln, the hot air therefrom passes to any desired pair of grates A, B which are just starting. Further, hot air can be admitted above the grate by damper-controlled passages leading down from the passage m<2>. The passages c<1>, d' are all connected by dampercontrolled openings, Fig. 10, with mains S, S<1>, S<1>, Fig. 4, leading to the stack, so that spent air and gases may be passed out of the kiln at any point. The dampers in the central main S are conical and are opened by lifting. The kilns may be in a. series of single width instead of double, as shown. In another modification, the grates are just within the kiln arches, some alteration of the passages &c. being then entailed. According to the Provisional Specification, one grate may be used for each pair of kilns.

Title: An Improved Automatic Coupling for Railway Carriages.
Inventor: BAERSCH ALWIN
Filed: 1906-04-07
Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 8441. Bõrsch, A. April 7. Couplings, automatic.-Relates to means for uncoupling automatic couplings of the type in which a hook-shaped draw-bar is engaged by an horizontally-sliding bolt. A pair of coupling-elements is arranged at the end of each vehicle to serve also as buffers, the shanks 3, 4, which carry, respectively, a hook-shaped head 5 and a buffer casing 6, being mounted in a rod 2 pivoted to the usual draw-bar 1. The sliding bolt 8, pressed into engagement by a spring 9, is mountei in a casing 7 attached to the buffer casing and provided with a flat plate 10. The uncoupling is effected by a transverse rotary shaft 11, which may be displaced axially and is fitted at one end with a handle 13 and at the other end with an arm having a helically curved surface 12. When the shaft 11, while in the position shown in Fig. 1, is rotated, the arm 12 engages with the plate 10 and withdraws the bolt 8 until the plate 10 becomes locked by a spring catch 14, 15 mounted on the top of the casing 7. The bolt 8 may be released by displacing the shaft 11 axially and again rotating it until the catch 15 is raised by the arm 12. The uncoupling-device may be used to operate the coupling non-automatically, and the ordinary coupling may be pro vided on the draw-bars 1, being used as a safety coupling.

Title: Improvements in Time Recording Apparatus
Inventor: VANDEVELDE ALFRED
Filed: 1906-04-27
Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 9880. Vandevelde, A. April 27. Timing pigeons.-On the pigeon ring &c. being placed in thelapparatus, the time is automatically printed on a paper disk. A rotating drum 3 is divided into a number of cells 4, into which the rings &c. are successively introduced through an opening 5 in the casing 1. The introduction of the ring depresses a spring rod 37, which projects through a hole in the cell 4 that is beneath the opening 5, and is provided with a pin 33 engaging a slot 32 in the end of a lever 30, pivoted at 31. The lever 30 is thus brought to the position shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 4, and the upper arm 28 of the forked end 28, 29 is moved out of engagement with a projection 26 on a wheel 25 mounted on a spindle 12, which is then free to rotate under the influence of a spring 9. The rotation of the shaft 12 is communicated by gearing to a wheel 20 fitted with a pin 22, which strikes one of the projections 23 on the drum 3 and causes the latter to rotate, thus bringing the next cell 4 under the bole 5. The lower arm 29 of the lever 30 checks the rotation of the spindle 12 by coming in contact with a projection 27 on the wheel 25. The rod 37 rises into the next cell 4 and raises with it the lever 30, thus releasing the wheel 25 and allowing the spindle 12 to rotate until the projection 26 again strikes the end 28 of the lever 30. During this further movement, the pin 22 is out of engagement with the drum 3, but a roller 48 connected to a crank c driven from the spindle 12 is moved across a paper ring 43 attached to the drum 3. Below the paper 43 is a clock 38 fitted with annular dials 40, 41, 42, showing minutes, hours, and days, and a seconds' dial 39. Between the paper 43 and the clock dials is placed an inked ribbon, so that, on the passage of the roller 48, an impression of the dials is left on the paper 43. When the cover of the apparatus is closed, a hook on it passes through a slot in a projecting rim 52 on a wheel 50 driven by a pinion 49. After the first movement of the drum 3 &c., the slot in the rim 52 is moved away from the hook on the lid, so that the case cannot be opened till the wheel 50 has made one complete revolution, which occurs when the first cell 4 reappears at the hole 5.

Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 1061. McKenzie, T. W., and Mackenzie, W. C. Jan. 15. Telegraph calls.-In a telegraph-call apparatus by which an operator can call any office on his line, an automatic caller is placed in a loop circuit which can be switched into the main line circuit to effect a call, and means is provided by which any other operator can cut out the automatic caller by opening the line circuit. The line-wires B, C are connected respectively to the front and back contacts of a Morse key D, and shunting these contacts is a circuit M N including a spring L and clockwork-driven toothed wheel K. A switch J normally connects the front and back stops of the key D, thus preserving the continuity of the linewire. To effect a call, the switch J is opened so that the line current passes through the circuit M N and is intermittently interrupted by teeth a on the wheel K. In order that the called operator, or any other, may cut out the automatic caller, a lever P, having a gravity dog c engaging the teeth of a clockwork-driven wheel O, tends to fall slowly with the rotation of the wheel O so as to engage a rod R, but is normally prevented from so doing by the pivoted extension Q of the armature of the sounder H controlled by the line relay E. The breaks in the line circuit caused by the teeth a are insufficient to allow the lever P to engage the rod R, but when an operator breaks the line circuit for a sufficient interval, the extension Q allows the lever P to engage the rod R, thus tripping a detent S so that a spring f causes a lever T to close the switch J and to stop the clock-work by means of the lever h. The clock-work can be released, when desired, by means of a handlever U.
