Title: Improvements in Knitting Machines.
Inventor: KLEMM HERMANN ARTHUR
Filed: 1900-06-19
Granted: 1900-11-24
Abstract: 11,102. Klemm, H. A., and Kayser, J. June 19. Parallel knitting-machines.-Relates to machines which draw two loops per course. Fig. 5 shows an underside view of the cam plate. There are two drawing-cams k and three lift ing-cams, the outer ones of which are in two parts m, n, and the inner one in three parts n, m, n. There are three guard cams l. After passing the last drawing-cam k, the lift cam m raises the needles to the intermediate position of Fig. 10. When the cam plate returns, the needles are raised by the lift cam n to the position shown in Fig. 11, after which the drawing- cam k draws down the needles to form a loop. The lifting of the needles is thus always done in two stages, except when making a first course. The cams k have projections fitting in guiding- slots p in the plates j, and are raised and lowered by means of a crank-pin and slot q ; the crank-pin is on a short shaft s which has a turning-piece t and a locking nut v and screw u. The cams m, n are carried on a holder x having a stem, and they can be lifted out of action to make a welt or hem by a cam. The cam carriage is reciprocated by a rod connected to a slide which is connected to an endless constantly - driven chain. The threadcarriers slide on dovetailed bars and are carried along by a lever, pivoted to the cam carriage, which engages projections on the carrier slide. A cam 16, Fig. 9, on a block 17 fixed to the dovetailed bars, in the required position, by a set-screw, trips the pivoted lever, and so disengages it from the carrier slide, which remains at rest.

Filed: 1902-04-16
Granted: 1903-04-16
Abstract: 8844. Chadwick, E., [Thompson, J., and Travis, J.]. April 16. Mules and twiners.- The object is to disengage the taking - in clutch U when an undue strain is placed on the taking-in rope 0, owing to the carriage being obstructed during the run-in. The rope 0 is secured to a pulley or block h carried by a screwed rod d, on the end of which is the ratchetwheel G for tightening the rope 0. These parts are mounted to slide on a bracket g, and are held in their most outward position by a spring lever E centered at D on the carriage. Should the taking- in rope be subjected to an undue strain, the arm P on the lever E rises, so as to cause an adjustable screw Q thereon to rock a spring rod K, which is normally held in the position shown against the action of a spring R<3> by a catch T. The rocking of the rod K disengages the catch T, on which the rod is forced to the right by the spring R<3> and caused, by a system of levers, to disengage the taking-in clutch. In a modification, the rod K is suspended upon parallel links, so that it is raised when acted on by the lever E, P, the raising of the rod being caused to unlock a spring lever by which the taking-in clutch is disengaged. Means may be provided for blocking or otherwise preventing the mechanism from operating during the early part of the run-in when the tension on the rope 0 is greatest.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Printing Machines.
Inventor: BRYAN JOSEPH PETER
Filed: 1902-10-17
Granted: 1903-09-17
Abstract: 22,647. Bryan, J. P. Oct. 17. Platen presses.-Relates to an arrangement, applicable to addressing and other machines in which separate matter has to be printed at each operation, for feeding stereo or other blocks or plates, either singly or in series, to the bed of the machine without the aid of an endless belt. The blocks 11, Fig. 1, are kept in place in an inclined magazine 10 by a weight 12. Two sets of rollers 13, Fig. 2, are mounted at the lower end of the magazine and are actuated from the machine. Recesses 14 in the edges of the rollers engage the edges of the lowest stereo 11 and remove it from the pile, the rollers meanwhile keeping the other stereos in place. A shoot 17, Fig. 1, for transferring the stereos to the chase 2, is pivoted at the end of the magazine, and is connected by a spring 18 to a lug 19 on the magazine, and by a link 20 to an arm 21 which is pivoted to the magazine. The stereos pass from the shoot 17 into a groove 24 in the chase 2. Spring-controlled catches 25, 26 are arranged in the groove 24. As the platen 3 moves away from the chase after effecting an impression, a wiper 29 on the shaft operates the catch 26 and releases the stereo, which falls down the guide 24 into the reservoir 31. The rollers 13 have meanwhile released another stereo, which drops on to the catch 26, and is thereby supported in the chase. During this time, the platen has been moved to allow the inking-rollers to be operated by the arm 7 and link 7<a>. As soon as the arms move, they release the catch 25, and its spring forces it forwards to engage the top of the stereo and hold it firmly during the inking operation. As the rollers are moved, the shoot 17 is drawn away by its spring 18, to allow the rollers to reach the chase. The shoot is brought back by the arm 21, which engages with the carrier 22. The catch 25 is also moved clear of the chase by the link 7<a>, and the plunger 30 is moved forwards to push the dropped stereo into place. The dropped stereos are kept in position by a weight 35, each movement of the plunger moving the whole pile.
