Title: Improvements in Means for Keeping Bicycles Upright for Use when at Rest or otherwise.
Inventor: CENTONZE VITTORIO EMANUELE
Filed: 1905-02-28
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 4158. Centonze, V. E. Feb. 28. Winches and windlasses.-In a device upon the top bar of a cycle for lowering safety wheels, a handle 26, acted upon by a spring 261 and connected with the axle 17 by some such device as a pin engaging a helicoidal groove, is turned, so that, through plates 25, pins 23, 24 are pressed into holes 20 of a disk 15 and into engagement with ratchet teeth 16 upon a sprocket ring 14, respectively ; the disk and ring are connected by a oneway clutch, and when a frame 19 upon the axle is moved to and fro by means of a handle 27 the sprocket-wheel is intermittently turned and a chain gradually wound up. To lock the chainwheel, the handle 27 is turned about its axis until a semicircular lug 28x engages corresponding teeth upon the side opposite to the ratchet teeth 16, the frame 19 being held in its normal position by a spring 18<11> engaging a pin 19<1>. The handle 26 is then turned in the opposite direction to withdraw the pins 23, 24. To raise the wheels, the lug of the handle 27 is released from the chain-wheel, when a spring returns the whole of the device to the inoperative position. The pins are pressed towards the sprocket-wheel by springs in the casings 23<1>, 24<1>. The retrograde motion of the frame 19 produced by the spring 18<11> is checked by a stop upon a plate 18<111>, and if desired, in such cases as when the small wheels are lowered to such an extent that the rear wheel of the machine is raised, a wedge or locking-pin may be interposed between the stop and the frame 19.

Title: Improvements in Controlling Gear for Electrically Driven Pumps.
Filed: 1906-06-09
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 13,313. Smith & Co., H., Smith, H., and Smith, O. June 9. Governing or controlling pumps. - Comprises automatic hydraulic gear for working the stopping and starting controller of an electric motor which operates hydraulic pumps for accumulators, and similar gear for working a by-pass valve from the delivery pipe, the by-pass and controller being in series. The motor is started with the by-pass open until it attains full power. When the accumulator is full, the by-pass opens and the controller then cuts off the motor. Fig. 1 shows the plunger A of the operating pump, B being its suction valve, C the delivery valve, and D the by-pass, which opens a free passage between the delivery pipe E and the suction G. The right-hand end of the piston H is under pressure when the accumulator is full, and opens to exhaust when the accumulator is filling, and as its left-hand end is always under pressure, the by-pass D is opened or closed. Similarly, the controller K shuts off the motor when the right-hand end of the piston L is uuder pressure, i.e. when the accumulator is full, while it starts the motor when the right-hand end of the piston L is open to exhaust. To start the motor before the by-pass is closed, four valves N, 0, P, R are fitted, regulating the speed of inlet and exhaust water from the ends of the cylinders I, M.

Abstract: 11,006. Lealand, A. May 11. Measured quantities, delivering.-Relates to detail improvements on the type of bottling machine described in Specification No. 12,768, A.D. 1906. According to the present invention, the valves of the measuring-vesse's are external to the vessels, and in one form consist of disks s with separate seating rings s<1>, Figs. 2, 4, and 6. Each valve is mounted on a spindle s' fitting loosely in a valve lever t, a spring s' being placed between the valve and the lever. All the valve levers of each transverse row of measuring-vessels are supported on a transverse shaft t<1>, all of which transverse shafts are coupled by links u to rods u<1> running along each nest of measuring-vessels, which rods are in turn coupled to each other, while the end rod is connected to a lever u<2> fixed on a transverse shaft u<3>, on which an operating-lever u, Fig. 1, is mounted. In this way the whole of the valves are operated simultaneously. In a modification of the valve mechanism, sliding plate valves, Fig. 10, are employed, each valve adapted to control either a row or a nest of measuring-vessels. Each plate is supported on a lower plate d, and springs d<2> are provided to press the valves against the ends of the measuring-vessels. Removable guards x, Fig. 4, and e, Fig. 6, respectively are provided to prevent the jam from splashing and to catch any drip from the valve mechanism. To enable each nest of measuring-vessels to be removed, and replaced by others of different capacity, the rods u<1> may be uncoupled, and band holes w<3> are provided to enable the vessels to be lifted out of, or placed in, position. The edges of the plates r, which carry the measuring-vessels, are beaded to fit into channels r<5>, Fig. 9, supported by the frame q so as to form sealed joints.

Title: Improvements in Thread Cutting Mechanism for Automatic Weft-replenishing Looms.
Filed: 1907-07-13
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 16,119. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. July 13. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically; weft, cutting; guards.-A spentweft cutter, comprising a stationary blade I and a movable blade J, is mounted on a fixed stand W in front of the lay and between the shuttle box and the temple at the replenishing side of the loom. The blade J is pressed against the blade I by a spring surrounding its pivot, and it has a depending finger, which is moved, against the action of a spring, by the lay or a part thereon at the beat-up, or by other suitable means, to lower the blade J to cut the weft. When a spent bobbin is to be ejected from the shuttle, the weft extending therefrom to the selvedge is brought between the blades I, J by a catcher and carrier K, of which the front end is slidably mounted on a fixed rod L in such a manner that the catcher is free to swing vertically. A recess in the catcher rests normally on a roller on an actuator N, which is pivoted at t and has a slot 0 engaging a stud P on an arm Q. This arm is mounted on the hub of the shuttle feeler G, and when the feeler is swung towards the lay in the usual manner by a lever a on the usual rock-shaft F, the actuator N moves the catcher K towards the advancing lay against the action of a spring M. The free end of the catcher enters a recess in the lay, and the weft is caught between projections T, U on the catcher. As the lay continues to advance, a cam-piece thereon raises the catcher and frees it from the actuator, so that the catcher is quickly pushed forwards by the spring M and carries the weft between the blades I, J, the weft being guided by a guide fixed near the blade I. At the beat-up, the blade J is lowered and severs the weft, and the end of the weft extending from the selvedge is caught between the catcher and the stand W, so that it is held in position to be cut close to the selvedge by the usual cutter on the temple, which has a guide to prevent the weft from being carried above it by the catcher. The upward movement of the catcher is limited by a spring guard X, which overhangs the catcher. The shuttle feeler G and the actuator N are returned to their normal position by a spring H.
