Patent GB-190819237-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Jacquards.
Filed: 1908-09-14
Granted: 1909-12-14
Abstract: 19,237. Brintons, Ltd., Brinton, C. C., and Gillies, D. Sept. 14. Loom jacquards for wide or other looms for weaving Axminster and other tufted fabrics, are made in two or more similar sections A, B, Fig. 1, separated by interchangeable and similar standards C', C', C<3>, which are connected by longitudinal bearers D', D<2> and ties E<1>, E<2> and are bolted on a base-plate F. Each section comprises two or more interchangeable needle boxes G and accessories, so that any one unit can be removed for repairs and replaced by a similar unit. The card cylinders H for the respective needle boxes G are all mounted on a shaft 7 carried in bearings on three vertical slides 8, which are provided with rollers 9 acted upon by inclined plates 10 on an horizontal slide 11 operated by lever mechanism from the usual rocking shaft carried by the standards so as to raise and lower the slides 8 in guides in the standards. The slides 11 also carry the grids 12 for pushing in the jacquard needles. The needle boxes comprise rows of vertical thin metal needles 17, Fig. 6, having reduced parts 20 to enter holes in the upper guide-plate 18, and short wires 21 for the lower guide-plate 19 on which the needles normally rest. A cover-plate 30 limits the upward movements of the needles. Loops 24 formed on the vertical needles receive horizontal needles 23 which have end loops 26 engaged by cro3s-bars 27 of the needle grid 25 and acted upon by springs 28. A needle may be removed through its hole in the grid after the spring 28 has been freed from the hooked end 50 of its loop. The grid 25 may be a perforated plate, and each grid is bolted to its needle box. The needle boxes are bolted to the bearers D', D<2> by long vertical bolts. Each card cylinder comprises hexagonal or other ends and intermediate blocks fixed on the shaft 7, a grid surface being formed by wires 37 sweated or otherwise fixed in grooves in the ends and blocks. The grids 12 have horizontal cross-bars 41 with flanges 44, which push in the selected needles 23, thus pushing out the corresponding cross-pegs 38 of the yarn lifters 39 to be engaged by the lifting-bar 40, which raises the yarn lifters and yarn carriers as desired. The bars 41 are fitted in vertical cross-bars of a frame. The comb-like guide-plates 45, 46, 47, 48 for the yarn lifters 39 are made in short lengths corresponding with the needle boxes, and are secured to the bearers E', E<2>, D', D' or to bars bolted thereto.

Abstract: 3022. Morrow, A. P. Feb. 8. Chucks.-In a chuck, means are provided for quickly relaxing the grip of the jaws on the initial rotary movement of the case. The case A has a smooth interior bore into which fits a sectional head B, relative rotary motion only being allowed by a ball race D ; the jaws C are retained in slides in the casing A by a screw cap A<1> and rotate with the case. A coupling-section B' is formed in two parts, one part b being a screw shell adapted to screw into the head B, and the other part being a head b<1> which screws by a coarse thread G into the portion b, the head b<1> having an end b<2> adapted to hold the ends of the jaws in dovetail grooves and so retract or advance them. The motion of b<1> relatively to b is limited by a pin g wbich can rotate in slots f in the head b until it reaches the ends of the slot initially-releasing the jaws ; on further rotation of the case A the jaws are wholly retracted. Instead of the ball bearings D, pins screwed into the case A may be used, or instead of the double head for retracting the jaws, a single head I is used, and the jaws are mounted so as to be rotatable with the case A<2> round the head L, the initial movement of the case being allowed to loosen the jaws by pins i moving in cam slots K in a screwed sleeve I'. Another device for releasing the jaws is shown in Fig. 10, wherein the part p<1> is bolted on to a pin which is retained in the screwed portion N by an enlarged head engaging a recess, and initial relative motion being allowed by a cam projection n engaging a cam slot; or a device as shown in Fig. 11 may be employed, where the relative motion is limited by the balls S engaging cam grooves in the head R.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for Raising Liquids.
Inventor: PETITPIERRE PAUL MAURICE
Filed: 1909-09-10
Granted: 1910-09-12
Abstract: 20,715. Petitpierre, P. M. Sept. 10. Vacuum apparatus.- In vacuum apparatus for raising liquids by condensation of steam, a vessel is disposed in a branch of the steamsupply pipe for admitting a definite amount of steam to the vacuum chamber during the period of discharge of the liquid. The device is specially applicable to apparatus of the type described in Specification 2242/07, The vessel A, Fig. 2, is fitted above the vacuum chamber with valves at a<1>, b<1> operated by links B from the liquid-discharge valve and a side passage a<2> communicating with the main steam-supply pipe a<3>. A valve D is fitted in the pipe a<2>, as shown in Fig. 1. During the period in which the vacuum chamber is filling with liquid, the valve d<1> is open and the valve b<1> closed, while the valve D is held closed by the full pressure of steam acting on the larger area of the valve in the pipe a<2>. As soon as the liquid-discharge valve opens, the valve a<1> closes, and the valve b<1> opens, admitting the steam from the vessel A to the vacuum chamber so as to facilitate the discharge of the liquid. Finally, when the chamber is empty, the pressure acting on the larger area of the valve D falls sufficiently to allow the valve to open, admitting steam through the pipe a<3> to the vacuum-producing nozzle, as described in the Specification above referred to.
