Abstract: 8115. Rigbey, J. H. April 17. Fuses for projectiles.-One or more composition rings b are mounted on an axial spindle a<1> between fixed rings c, d, the fuse being set by rotation of the spindle and the intermediate rings. The spindle passes through a gland and stuffing-box h, and carries at its outer end a graduated conical cap h<2>, which is normally locked to the body a of the fuse by a catch j<1> on a vent plug j, screwed into the fuse and engaging at its inner end with the safety spring k of the pellet g. Jamming of the rings b is prevented by ferrules m, while moisture and air are excluded by packing-rings at the collar of the plugj, and at the end of the shearing- wire g<1>, and by a water-tight cap closing the ignition chamber e. The pellet g may be supported by a projection on the spindle a'. The construction of time-and-percussion fuses and delayed-action fuses with the central spindle a<1> and rings b is also described.

Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 10,942. Walker, J. J. May 25. Bellows. - The feeder bellows, supplying or exhausting air in automatic and other musical instruments, a r e operated by a clockwork motor or other self-contained p r i m e - mover, such as an electromotor with storage cells or a pneumatic motor with storage cylinder, designed to stop automatically when the reservoir bellows are full owing to its limited power. The operation of the feeders 1 is uniformly as well as automatically controlled by a valve 6, pivoted at 13, and connected by a system of links and levers to the free board 7 of the reservoir bellows. The passage of air from the feeders is gradually checked as the reservoir fills, the device thus constituting an air brake. In suction apparatus, the valve may be similarly arranged, or the free board may itself be arranged to restrict the aperture.

Title: Improved Weft Inserting and Selvedge-forming Devices of Looms for Weaving Carpets and Tufted Fabrics.
Inventor: FIRTH ALGERNON FREEMAN
Filed: 1906-05-30
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 12,557. Firth, A. F., and Green, J. H. May 30. Shuttleless looms ; forming selvedges.-In a loom for weaving tufted fabrics or carpets, the wefts are inserted in looped form by means of two needles 1, 1<A> of unequal length, which are arranged vertically one above the other and are operated in the ordinary manner. Two selvedge shuttles are actuated in curved boxes or races 4, 5 by oscillating arms 6, 6<A>, to traverse the loops and retain the wefts within the fabric, the upper shuttle being actuated at every pick and the lower shuttle at each alternate pick. The arms 6, 6<A> are secured to a vertical shaft 7 and a sleeve 8 respectively, and the shaft and sleeve are rocked as required by means of suitable cranks, connecting- rods, and levers, which are actuated by cams on the tappet-shaft, the cams being arranged preferably at opposite ends of the tappet-shaft. The wefts pass from cans through suitable guide-eyes and tension devices to the eyes 28<A> in the needles. The tension device for the upper weft consists of a vibrating arm, round which the weft passes, while the lower weft passes between a stationary part 22 and a cam-actuated hammer 21, and through the eye 25 of a spring-pressed pivoted arm 26. When the lower weft is to be retained in the fabric, the hammer 21 is moved away from the part 22 and the weft is released, and when it is not to be retained, it is held between the hammer and the part 22, and, when the needles recede, the slack in the lower weft is taken up by the arm 26. To prevent undue vibration of the needles and to retain them in correct position clear of the centre shed, they are provided with small runners 24A, which are preferably rubber-tyred. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the needles and their slide are preferably made of aluminium.

Inventor: FRY REGINALD CUTHBERT
Filed: 1907-03-01
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 5034. Fry, R. C. March 1. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-To prevent sideslip in motor road vehicles, two or more flexible bands, such as chains, wire ropes, &c., are suspended one on each side of the frame so as to hang just clear of the inside or outside edges of the driving- wheels, in order that the wheels may mount the bands when side-slip commences. Bands may be placed on both sides of each driving-wheel, but preferably they are only suspended on the inside. In Fig. 1, the endless band a is shown supported by pulleys b so as to contact with the ground a little in front of the driving-wheel, a trough c or its equivalent preventing the upper part from sagging. Guide-pulleys d maybe employed to keep the rope in the correct position. To raise the band off the ground, the position of one of the pulleys b may be varied by mechanism operated by the driver. Fig. 4 shows a modification, in which a length of band is supported from brackets s. A spring e may be interposed near the forward end to prevent undue strain and to assist in pulling the chains from under the wheels after skidding, a check band f being used if desired to limit the extension. In this form, the band may be raised by means of a flexible connexion attached to it. According to the Provisional Specification, the pulleys b in front of the driving-wheels may be sprocket-wheels, and may be driven from the engine.
