Title: Improvements in or relating to Warping or Beaming Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: D02H13/00
Filed: 1910-02-28
Granted: 1911-02-28
Abstract: 5012. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. Feb. 28. Yarns, warping and beaming. - Warping or beaming machines having a drop-wire stopmotion are provided with a device for returning the wires to their initial position when the machine stops. The drop-wires T, Fig. 4, are secured in blocks t<1>, which are pivoted to blocks t<3> adjustable in slots in rods S. When a warp breaks or becomes slack, its drop-wire falls and a shoulder on its block t<1> engages a shoulder on one of the bars R, which are normally reciprocated from a rock-shaft M actuated from a cam i, Fig. 3, by connexions K, L, J. When the bars R are prevented from reciprocating, the shoulder l<3> of the part l of the link L rises out of the' bevel l<4> of the part l<1> against the action of a spring l<6>, and a shoulder l<7> moves a lever Q to release a shoulder h<2> on a rod H from a staple h<1>. A treadle e<2> then rises under the influence of a weight acting on a shaft F, and a belt-shifter is moved to stop the machine, a brake being simultaneously applied. As the treadle rises, a connexion 3 acts on levers v<1> to move them into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4, and wires 2 return the fallen detectors to their initial positions. The machine is re-started by depressing the treadle e<2>. The driving-belt is first shifted, on to a pulley, which drives the machine through gearing at a slow speed, the wires 2 being simultaneously moved half-way down, so that the stop-motion cannot be operated by the slackness of the warps. The treadle is then further depressed, and the belt shifted to another pulley, which drives the machine at full speed. The warp-beam trunnions rotate in bearings in hinged weighted arms b<4>.

Variable-speed and reversing epicyclic gearing, suitable for motor-vehicles, comprises pairs of interengaging planetary pinions 8, 5 carried by a casing 6 secured to the driven shaft 3. The pinions 5 mesh with a gear 4 fast on the driving- shaft 2. The pinions 8 mesh with a loose gear 7, which is connected by a sleeve 11 to a drum 10. A drum 14 loose on the sleeve 11 carries pinions 13 which mesh with a pinion 15 fast on the sleeve 11 and with an annulus 12 fast on the casing 6. The highest speed is a solid drive obtained by sliding a clutch 9 upon the shaft 3 into engagement with the drum 10. An expanding and contracting brake band 18 resides between the drums 14, 10. When the band 18 is expanded so as to grip the drum 10, the pinions 5, 8 rolling on the stationary gear 7 cause the easing 6 to be driven at half speed. A lower forward speed is effected by contracting the band 18 upon the drum 14, when both epicyclic trains come into operation. Reversed driving is effected by applying a brake 23 to a drum 22, which carries idlers 21 meshing with a gear 24 fast upon the shaft, and with an annulus 20 secured to the casing 6. Instead of the train of gears, 4, 5, 8, 7, an equivalent three-element train of bevel-gears may be used.

Abstract: 2562. KÔfer, F., and Wiesinger, A. Jan. 31. Nailing, hand-tools for.-A drawing-pin container is adapted for fixing the pins into or withdrawing them from a drawing-board, the pins being taken up in succession and arranged in the container one above the other, and also forced out in succession. The device comprises a casing a, Fig. 1, in which are arranged two sets of ratchet bars b, c, Fig. 4, having their teeth disposed in opposite directions; each set of bars comprising two fixed bars and two other bars attached to and movable vertically with a spring-actuated lid i. All the bars are under the influence of springs g tending to force them inwards, but they are movable radiallv by means of a rotating ring f having cam slots e engaged by pins h on the bars. The casing a also carries a pair of pincers k, Fig. 3, pivoted to the ring f and movable radially by means of the ring f and cam-slots l, Fig. 6; two wedges m attached to the lid i act on inclined surfaces p at the upper part of the pincers so as to enable the prongs q to grip the pins to be withdrawn. In order to insert a pin in the board, the ring f is rotated so as to force the pin-retaining bars b outwards, while the other bars c are forced inwards by the springs g. The cap i is then depressed, the pins n are all forced downwards by the movable pair of the bars c, and the lowest pin is driven into the board, the fixed bars of the set c yielding laterally during the downward movement of the pins, but preventing any upward motion of the pins when the movable bars c are allowed to return. In order to withdraw a pin, the retaining-bars b are brought inwards, the pincers k are brought into operation by the ring f and cap i, and the drawing-pin is forced upwards by the curvature of the prongs q on to the lowest teeth of the movable pair of bars b, which have already been displaced by the depression of the cap i. On releasing the cap, the pincers are restored to their normal position, and the movable bars b raise the withdrawn pin and all the contained pins one step within the casing.
