Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 17,451. Wright, T. Aug. 11. Tying or knotting.-A hand tool for tying the ends of yarn or thread for the use of operatives employed upon winding, warping, weaving and lacemaking machines &c. comprises two jaws A, C and a blade d. The jaw A and blade d are attached to hafts B, D respectively, the blade being pivoted at d<1> or capable of sliding so as to form with the jaw A a pair of shears which are kept open by a spring E. The jaw C is pivoted to the jaw A at c<2>, and a spring c tends to keep it pressed against the jaw A ; it is normally kept open, however, by means of a pin c<1> engaging in a slot d<2> in the blade d. The thread ends are twisted into a loop round the jaws, the ends being pressed between them. The hafts B, D are then pressed together, thus causing the ends of the thread to be gripped between the jaws A, C, while the superfluous ends are cut off by the blade d. The loop is then slipped off the jaws and pulled tight, thus forming a knot.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Mechanism for the Conversion of Continuous Rotatory Motion into Oscillatory Motion.
Filed: 1905-03-14
Granted: 1906-04-14
Abstract: 5355. Jerram, A. E., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. March 14. Hammers, power.-In burnishing, hammering, and like machines, the rotary motion of one shaft is converted by aslant portions of the shaft and universal joints into oscillatory motion of one or more shafts at right-angles to the driving-shaft. A driving-shaft A is formed with one or more aslant portions A<2> turning within sleeves D, to which are secured pieces D' with circular pivots D<2>, D<3> bearing in sleeves B<1> secured to the driven shafts B, C &c. The universal joints thus form self adjusting and alining bearings for the shaft A. The pivots D<2>, D<3> may be displaced laterally to positions parallel or inclined to those shown, in which case the shafts B, C receive endwise or oscillatory motion. Oil is lifted from a bath G by a chain F, is fed along the sleeve D by spiral grooves in the sleeve or shaft, and is forced through holes in the sleeve and channels in the pieces D<1> to the pivot bearings and thence to the shaft B.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Stop Motions for Drawing or Doubling Frames.
Inventor: BARBOUR THOMAS
Filed: 1906-07-09
Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 15,469. Barbour, T., and Magee, T. July 9. Drawing-frames stop-motions.-In drawing and doubling frames, when a sliver breaks or a can runs empty, a pivoted detector 4, which is normally depressed by the sliver, turns so as to lower an arm 6 suspended therefrom between a fixed bar 7 and a bar 10, which is normally rooked by arms 9 from a spring escapement bracket 13 oscillated from an eccentric 14. The rocking of the bar 10 being thus arrested, the arms 9 and the bracket 13 suspended from one of them are held stationary, and the eccentric rod 12 slides through the bracket, against the action of the spring 26. In this movement, a collar 12<A> on the rod turns a bell-crank lever 14<A> pivoted to the bracket, whereby a pivoted lever 16 is tilted to disengage a collar 21 on the strap-fork frame 19. A tension spring 18 fixed to the collar and to the machine frame then reacts and moves the strap-fork frame to shift the driving- belt on to the loose pulley.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Conveying Glassware to Leers.
Filed: 1906-12-14
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 28,607. Lake, H. H., [Heyl & Patterson]. Dec. 14. Conveyers.-Relates to apparatus for automatically transferring articles of glassware from a conveyer to an intermittentlymoving carrier arranged within an annealing-lear. The articles are placed in pans 9 having outwardlycurved arms 10, 11 carried by an horizontal chain 8 continuously driven by a sprocket 5 through bevelgear and a clutch 18 from a shaft 13 geared to the shaft 16. The conveyer within the lear 3 comprises pans 26 attached to endless chains passing g round sprockets 24 on the shaft 23. The shaft 23 is driven from the shaft 13 by an eccentric and connecting-rod 42 carrying a pawl 44 engaging a ratchet-wheel 45 on the end of the shaft 23. The articles are transferred from one conveyer to the other through the medium of a third conveyer 27, comprising flights 29 travelling over a curved plate 27a, over which the articles are moved towards the pan 26, and secured to a chain passing round sprockets 30, 31. The sprocket 31 is also driven from the shaft 13 by an eccentric 40 and connecting-rod 39, carrying a pawl 39<a> engaging a ratchetwheel 36 on a shaft 32 having a bevel-wheel 33 meshing with a bevel-wheel on the shaft of the sprocket 33. A pawl 53 prevents running back. Segmental plates 37, 46 are arranged on the shafts 32, 23 to prevent the pawls 44, 39<a> from acting on their respective ratchets. The plate 46 is linked by a pivoted rod 48 to an arm 50 adapted to be engaged by a projection 51 on the ratchet-wheel 36. In operation, the articles, as they are transferred by a guide 62 from the pans 9 to the conveyer 27, engage a tappet 61 linked by a rod 60 to an arm 59 on a shaft 57 carrying another arm 56<a> connected by a rod 56 to the segmental plate 37, so as to withdraw this plate and allow the shaft 32 to be rotated through one tooth by the action of the continuously reciprocating pawl 39<a>. This effects the forward movement of the conveyer 27 through one flight or carrier, so that the next flight arrives in position when the tappet 61 is restored to the tripping position. When the shaft 32 has, through the ratchet-wheel 36, received a complete rotation, a whole row of articles will have arrived in position on one of the pans 26 of the lear conveyer. The projection 61 then engages the arm 50 so as to withdraw the segmental plate 46. The full pan 26 is moved forward and the adjacent empty pan takes its place by the action of the pawl 44 on the ratchet 45 serving to rotate the shaft 23 through a distance. corresponding to one tooth. Displacement of the articles upon the pans 26 is prevented by a spider 73 driven by bevel-gear from the shaft 23 and engaging the upper portion of the articles. An arrangement of weighted levers 65, 69 throws out the clutch 18 of the conveyer 9, should the conveyer 27 fail to move forward and two articles become placed on one flight. Should one of the articles be broken so as not to reach the lever 65, it falls through an opening 20 in the plate 27<a>.
