Patent GB-191206037-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Sewing Machines.
IPC: D05B35/06
Filed: 1912-03-11
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 6037. Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Co., [Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Co.]. March 11. Multiple-seam sewing-machines; loop-stitching.-The loops of two or more needles are entered by thread-carrying loopers, the loops of which are laid by a loop-spreader so that another needle or other needles form stitches through them. The invention is embodied in a machine for sewing the seam shown in Figs. 1 to 4 of Specification 14,917/06. Four eyedloopers 6<a>, 7<a>, 8<a>, 9<a> moving together carry loops of the four under-threads through the needlethread loops cast by the corresponding needles. By the lateral movement of the loopers in one direction and the movement of a three-pronged loop-spreader 14 in the opposite direction, the loop of each of the outer loopers is spread so as to be entered by the corresponding outer needle and the needle adjacent to it and the loop of each of the inner loopers is spread so as to be entered by both inner needles. In Fig 5 the dotted curve showing the locus of the tip of the looper 6<a> illustrates the general movement of the four loopers. The needleloop penetrating movement corresponds to the right-hand part of the curve. In the retracting movement the loopers move to the left, bringing looper 9<a>, for example, from the right-hand side of the line of needle 4<a> to the left-hand of the line of needle 3<a>. Simultaneously the thread-loop 6 is caught by a prong 6<b>, the needle and the needle adjacent to it and the thread-loop 9 by a prong 9<b>, and all are spread towards the right. The thread loops 6 and 9 are then in line to be entered by needles 1<a> and 2<a>, and needles 3<a> and 4<a> respectively, the prong 7<b> has not spread the loop 8 far to the right, and consequently it is entered by its own needle 3<a> and the needle 2<a> to the left of it. The prong 7b has spread the loop 8 sufficiently for it to be entered by its own needle and the needle 3<a> to the right of it, but because the needle 1<a> is shorter than the others and because the forward eye in the looper 7<a> is to the rear of the eyes in the other loopers, the loop 8 is not in a line to be entered by the needle 1<a>. As a further precaution, the looper 8<a> may have a notch in its upper surface which engages the loop 7 and holds it out of the path of the needle 1<a>. Fig. 16 shows the construction of the looper-bar 375, which slides within a slotted part 413 of a carriage 414 revolubly mounted in the machine frame. The four loopers are secured between end plates 378 carried by a plate 376 pivoted upon the looper-bar at 377. The end of the plate passes under the lip of a plate 390 and the point of a spring-pressed pin 391 mounted in the plate 376 enters a recess in the plate 390 and holds the loopers in their operative position. The pronged loopspreader 14 is adjustably secured to a lever 780 pivoted upon a fixed bracket-plate 784 and having a curved slot 790 in operative engagement with a bowl 787 on the looper-bar.

Title: Apparatus for Recording the Supply of Milk or other Liquid.
Inventor: MCDONALD ALEXANDER JOHN
IPC: G01F11/22
Filed: 1912-06-26
Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 14,937. McDonald, A. J. June 26. Moving-chamber apparatus with recording- apparatus. - In an apparatus for recording the supply of milk &c., the means for opening the outlet from the measuring - vessel are normally inoperative, but are made operative by the act of recording. In one form of apparatus a rotary measuring- chamber 3, divided into two compartments, has a two-way plug 6 the passages of which alternately coincide with the inlet and outlet pipes. The plug has an extension carrying a ratchet 12 which may be engaged by a pawl 11 on the main operating- handle 10. Normally this pawl is held out of engagement by an expanded ring consisting of two pivoted portions 13, 14, Fig. 4, against which a pin 16 on the underside of the pawl presses. When a record is made, these members are contracted by a toggle 15 to allow the pawl to engage the ratchet 12. To make a record, the handle 10 is brought over one of a series of openings 24 and is then depressed so that a punch 23 marks the paper fed by the drums 21, 22. At the same time a projection 26 on the punch depresses one of the levers 27 which abut against the flat end of a pivoted bar 28. This bar engages one end of a bell-crank lever 29 the other end of which forces back a member 30, Fig. 4, which is connected through levers 19, 17 to the toggle 15. The member 30 carries a pawl 31 which normally engages one of the stops 32 on the extension of the plug 6 but is released therefrom by the action of the lever 29 on the member 30. When so released the spring 18 acting through the lever 17 and toggle 15 contracts the ring 13, 14, allowing the ratchet 12 to be engaged by the pawl on the handle 10. When the measuring-chamber has been rotated to the discharge position the other stop 32 forces back the pawl 31 against the springs 33, 18 and the ring 13, 14 is again expanded. To prevent more than one recording- device from being operated before delivery, the apertures 24 above the other punches are closed by stops 34 which are moved into position by rods 35 connected to a cross-bar 37 carried by levers 38. The levers are connected through links to the rod 17. Props 36 on the lever 27 disconnect the particular rod 35, corresponding to the punch that is being operated, from the bar 37. The feed-roller 21 is rotated by a pawl on a crank attached to a link 43 which is supported from the corresponding lever 27 by a hook 45. The link is thus raised at each recording operation, and is retracted against the. action of a spring 44 by a rod joining the lower ends of the levers 38. When released, the link is moved forward by the spring 44 to feed the roller.
