Title: Improvements in Warping, Beaming, Warp-dressing, and Balling and like Machines, and in Machines for the Winding of Yarns and Threads.
Inventor: STOTT JOHN HOWARD
Filed: 1898-01-25
Granted: 1899-01-25
Abstract: 1950. Stott, J. H., and Humphries, J. Jan. 25. Winding-machines.-A stop-motion is described involving the use of a hopper-shaped box, in the upper part of which are a number of grooves to receive staples or detectors supported by the threads. When a thread breaks, the corresponding detector falls into the box and completes an electric circuit by contact with two plates or terminals, of which one is formed on the back of the box and the other upon a hinged door. In the electric circuit is an electromagnet, which is caused to liberate a catch, and thereby allow a system of weighted levers to move a driving-strap on to the loose pulley. When the door of the detector box is opened, the detector falls into a tray beneath and the electric circuit is interrupted. In the case of a drum winding-machine, the armature of the electromagnet is connected with the bobbin cradle, so that the cradle is raised from the driving-drum when the circuit is completed. The traverse bar w of the traverse mechanism, Fig. 7, carries a slotted frame, in which works a roller, which is radially adjustable on the crank disc u. The disc u is driven from the uniformly-rotating spur-wheel p through a pair of eccentric spur-wheels q, s and bevel-wheels t, t<1>, the arrangement being such that the shaft t<2> of the disc u makes one rotation for every two rotations of each of the eccentric spurwheels q, s.

The sides of the slot between the notches are flanged at I. Normally the projections J do not engage with the notches ; but if the horse tosses the bag the projections are forced into them by the spring R and the piece K remains stationary. The bag may be held fixed in its lowest position by the engagement of the hook T with a hole at U.

Title: Improvements in Organs.
Inventor: WHINFIELD ARTHUR HENRY
Filed: 1899-07-19
Granted: 1900-04-28
Abstract: 14,882. Whinfield, A. H., [trading as Nicholson & Co.]. July 19. Organs.-The invention relates to means for setting combinations of stops. The stop levers b are pivoted at b<2>, above the manual keys a, and are actuated by ledges c<2> in their front faces c, which bear their names. The levers can be actuated by fans h, which are operated by pedals and effect certain fixed combinations. The setting of any required combination is effected by auxiliary drawrods d, corresponding in number to the levers b, each of which has a pivoted arm f forked at the end and embracing a pin on the corresponding rod d. The arms fare operated so as to raise or depress them by fans g, which are actuated by a pedal. When a rod d is drawn out to its full extent, the arm f belonging to it is in position for being operated by the right-hand fan g, which depresses it and brings the corresponding stop into action. At the same time it is clear of the lefthand fan g, which, however, acts upon the levers f belonging to the rods d which are pushed fully in, the corresponding stops being thus silenced. The rods d which are in their mid-positions are unaffected by the fans g. The whole series of rods d can be brought into mid-position, when required, by fans e also operated by a pedal.

Abstract: 15,369. Mathiesen, W. July 26. Arc lamps.-An arc lamp is provided with three or four carbons m, a, n, placed in line ; the end carbons m, n are connected in circuit, so that two arcs in series are formed between them and the middle carbon or carbons a. The end carbons may be movable by two separate clutch mechanisms h, g, one provided with a series coil i, and the other with a shunt coil or differentially-acting coils k<1>, k.

Title: Improvements in Water Separators for Steam Generators.
Inventor: BAKER CHARLES WHITING
Filed: 1899-08-01
Granted: 1899-09-09
Abstract: 15,709. Baker, C. W. Aug. 1. Steam separators; priming, preventing.-Relates to internal separators, and consists of means for draining the separator chamber, "by utilizing the force of the currents set np in the interior of the separator to forcibly propel the water and the moist portion of the steam current out of the separator cham- " ber." Various forms of apparatus embodying this principle are described. Referring to Fig. 1, wet steam entering the top of the separator chamber E is deflected by helical vanes W, which impart to it a whirling movement down the sides of the chamber. Water passes through helical passages S of gradually decreasing area, while dry steam passes up the pipe K. The baffles b within an extension J of the chamber may be added, if desired, to prevent steam entering in a contrary direction and stopping the outflow of water. Figs. 4 and 5 show a simple form of the apparatus, with the water escape passages in the form of a flat spiral with tangential discharge orifices. Figs. 3 and 8 show forms of separator combined with locomotive " throttle valves" or regulators, which are modified to suit the combination. In Fig. 3, W, W are the helical vanes, and S the helical water channel, the water escaping at g, g. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, the whirling motion is accelerated by a rotating vane-wheel q driven by the flowing steam. The valve is operated by the toggle linkage 1, 2, 3. These arrangements allow the regulator to be placed at the bottom of the steam dome, so that access to the boiler may be obtained without disturbing it. Figs. 6 and 7 show a horizontal arrangement for use in narrow steam drums. W, W are fixed helical vanes, and 8 a rotating vane-wheel driven by the escaping steam. Water collects in the channel g<1>, and its outflow is aided by a centrifugal fan 9 driven by the vane wheel 8.

Abstract: 25,464. Wescher, A., and Wollenhaupt, P. Dec. 23. Signals, electric time-alarm.-Relates to electric time-alarms for use in hotels &c. The switchboard z is provided with a series of pins q, which are marked to correspond with the different hours and quarters, and are separately connected by wires y to the ratchet bar n. The ends of the wires y project through the bar n, and are adapted to make contact successively with the spring &c. p, the bar being moved laterally by the weight o and controlled by the escapement m. The escapement is actuated once every quarter of an hour by the electromagnet l, the wheel b on the minutehand spindle of the clock a having four teeth, which, by raising the lever c into contact with the springs d, e, complete the circuit of the battery f through the electromagnet. The movement of the lever c also connects up the battery h through the contact g with the alarm bells a in the different rooms 1, 2, 3, 4. The hells are connected by separate leads to the movable rings k at the switchboard. In use, the ring k, corresponding to the number of the room, is hung on the pin q, corresponding to the time at which the person is to be called, and the circuit of the bell a in the room is completed, at the predetermined time, between the spring p and the wire y, connected to the pin q on which the ring is hung. A switch r for cutting out the bell is provided in each room, and is arranged so that, when open, it is closed by the movement of the door, when the latter is opened by the person leaving the room. The duration of the signals may be varied by replacing the wheel b by another having the teeth of a different size.
