Title: Improvements in Buffing and Draw Gear for Railway Rolling Stock and the like.
Inventor: WILLISON JOHN
IPC: B61G9/04
Filed: 1909-05-07
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 10,854. Willison, J. May 7. Draw-gear; combined buffer and draw gear.- In combined buffing and draw gear, the flanges on the spring casing that co-operate with the buffing and draft lugs on the car framing are formed at the rear end of the casing to allow the front end of the casing to follow the lateral movements of the coupler, and means are provided for varying the extent to which the coupler head projects beyond the headstock. The spring casing 4, Figs. 1 and 3, is formed with vertical flanges 10 which bear against blocks 17, which may be inserted between the flanges and the draft lugs 11 fixed to the car frame. The casing may have lateral flanges at the top and bottom which embrace the lugs 11, these lugs being tapered on their inner faces to allow for lateral movements of the coupler. The buffing stresses are taken up by a follower plate 6, abutment plate 12, and buffing-lugs 13 on the car frame. The draft bar 1 is secured by a nut 5 which enters a hole in the plate 12, this hole being formed to prevent rotation of the nut while allowing lateral movement of the coupler. The springs, at their front ends, bear against a cupped plunger 16, the inner spring being normally under compression and serving to centralize the gear. Filling-blocks 24 are inserted between the casing 4 and the headstock, and have arms 24<1> extending through the headstock and formed with lugs 24<2> which co-operate with the ends of a pin 25 to serve as stops for the draft movement. Projections 21 on the coupler serve as stops for the buffing movement. In wagons having side buffers and a central coupling which can be raised to disclose the ordinary draw-hook, the coupler head may be extended to a greater distance from the headstock, as shown in Fig. 8, by removing the blocks 17 and placing them between the plate 12 and lugs 13, Fig. 5, and further by connecting the coupler to the more forward of two holes 19, 20 in the draft bar. The space then existing between the rear of the coupler shank and the front of the spring plunger 16 is filled by two half-blocks, which have lateral portions passing through the hole 19. Arms 26 support the coupler in the extended position by an extension 27<1> which also serves as a stop for the draft movement. When the coupler is to be shortened, the arm 26 is removed.

Title: Device for Transferring the Weaving Designs for Jaquard Looms to the Pattern Sheets.
Inventor: MAYER JULIUS
IPC: D03C19/00
Filed: 1909-06-18
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 14,324. Mayer, J. June 18. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Designing woven fabrics.-Enlarged designs on squared paper are prepared from the original design sheets by mechanism comprising an inking-roller which moves relatively to the squared paper in accordance with the relative movement of a pointer over the original design sheets. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the original design sheet is clamped upon a sector 3 which, by means of chain gearing 6, 12, 13, is caused to move in accordance with a larger rocking sector 2 carrying the squared paper. When the pointer 26 is over any part of the design that is to be reproduced on the squared paper, the operator depresses a key 22, thus causing an inking-roller 14 to bear upon the squared paper. At the end of each stroke of the sector 2, the inking-roller 14 and pointer 26 are automatically moved through short predetermined distances parallel to the axes of oscillation of the sectors 2, 3. In the modification shown in Fig. 11, the original design sheet is secured on a drum 102, which rotates at the same angular velocity as a drum 101 carrying the squared paper. The inking- roller is controlled by a finger-key which, on successive operations, alternately. causes the inking-roller to bear against the squared paper and to be removed therefrom. The pointer 128, which bears on the original design sheet, is carried by a lever 126, and the inking-roller and the lever 126 are so arranged that, when the pointer 128 has been placed exactly over the edge of the design, the inking-roller touches the squared paper at the correct instant, independently of the exact instant at which the finger-key is operated. After each revolution of the drums, the inking-roller and the drum 102 are automatically moved through short predetermined distances parallel to the axes of rotation of the drums.
