Patent GB-190526532-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Yarn Beaming Machines and the like, as used in the Manufacture of Lace and Textiles
Inventor: ATTENBOROUGH THOMAS
Filed: 1905-12-20
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 26,532. Attenborough, T. Dec. 20. Yarns, beaming. -In beaming- machines for use in manufacturing lace and textiles, tLe yarns pass from spools or bobbins round a roller, a cloth-covered drum, and another roller, through eyes or curls on lingoes or detectors E, Figs. 4 and 5, supported on a wire E<1>, and thence through the sley F to the warp beam. The wire E' is supported on a bracket X secured to a grid-bar G, Figs. 3 and 5, which has its upper edge cut to form a rack and is reciprocated by a lever J and cam H. The sley F is also carried by the bar G by means of a clamp Wand angle-plate V. When a thread breaks, the lingo E falls into a groove on the bar G and also into one of the grooves on a normally stationary bar K, which is thereby traversed, so that a bar L, Fig. 4, is withdrawn from under a weighted lever L<1>, the lighter end of which fits into a groove in a bar M. The latter is then moved by a spring, so that the strap fork can place the driving-strap on the loose pulley. The lingoes can be swung into inoperative positions E3. The traverse of the lever G is varied by shifting its pivot by means of a screw P and wheel R. The bar K carries a rod Y having inclined slots for supporting-studs, so that by moving this rod it is raised sufficiently to raise the lingoes E from the rack part. A clock or indicator can be driven from the axle of the above-mentioned drum, which by means of a wheel and driving-belt rotates the warp beam. The driving-belt passes under pulleys, one of which works in a slot to tighten the belt. The jack or creel carrying the bobbins is supported by a casting which also forms the bearings in which the cloth-covered roller revolves. Specification No. 10,382, A.D. 1902, is referred to.

Leaks, stopping. - In apparatus intended for stopping shot holes, the stopper disk consists of two semicircular portions 1, 1 with the straight edges bent over to form a hinge 2, so that the stopper may be folded to enable it to be passed through the hole from inside the vessel. An annular ring 3 of packing-material, preferably cellulose, is divided into half rings and covered with canvas and secured as by vulcanizing to half rings 33 of rubber fabric which are riveted to the plates 1, 1<a>. The inner face of the packing-ring is approximately in the same plane as the hinge 2, to avoid excessive compression of the packing. The bolt 4 is pivoted to a shackle 5 to enable it to be folded down into the plane of the hinge 2. The shackle 5 is connected to the stopper disks by stirrups which may turn about pivots on ribs 10 across the disks. The cross-bar 8 is preferably made as a yoke to enable it to span over a frame. A nut is screwed down on to the yoke by means of a wrench 7. The bolt 4 is preferably provided with a removable extension 43. A packing-strip 17 is placed between the halves of the stopper to prevent leakage, and to each of the halves is attached a curved wire or rod 16, the free ends of which extend across the ends of the packing- members and are slightly displaced from the axis of the hinge 2 to enable them to press firmly into the ends of the packing-members when the apparatus is in use. To the halves of the stopper are attached cords, one of which carries a hook 14 engaging with an eye 13 on the other cord to keep the apparatus folded while passing through the hole. Tufting cords 31 provided with fabric washers 32 prevent excessive distortion of the packing.
