Title: Machinery for Applying Knitted Fabrics to Transfer Points
Inventor: BUTZ WALTER DAVIS
Filed: 1901-03-23
Granted: 1902-02-27
Abstract: 6116. Butz, W. D. March 23. Knitting-machines, transferring work for. Relates to a machine for transferring rib-tops or other knitted fabrics from one machine to another. The string of rib-tops or other fabric is drawn over a rod 8 and on to a ribbed or plain cylinder 6, which fits in a tricked ring 5 having a number of bits 9 which are pressed inwards by clasp rings 10. The ribs on the cylinder 6 and the bits 9 fit between the wales and register the fabric. Surrounding the cylinder 6 is a tricked ring 12 carrying bits 13 pressed inwards between the walls of the fabric by a clasp ring 14. The ring 12 is lowered till it comes below the second welt from the top, when it is raised and draws up the fabric. The fabric is turned inside the cylinder 6, and is pressed down by a ribbed or plain cylinder 21, thus drawing the loops of the slack course over the edge of the cylinder 6. The ring 12 may be held in place at the top by means of a toggle-actuated clamp ring 17. A tricked ring 22, carrying a number of pivoted transfer fingers 23, pressed inwards by a clasp ring 24, is now moved down until the points of the fingers pass through the loops of the slack course and enter the groove 20 on the top edge of the cylinder 6. A circular knife 25 is carried on a shaft 26 bearing in a sleeve 27 pivoted at 28 to a ring 4 capable of rotation on the ring 2. The lower end of the shaft 26 carries a friction-wheel 31. When the shaft is moved inwards, as shown in dotted lines, the knife 25 comes in contact with the fabric below the slack course and above the next welt ; at the same time the wheel 31 comes in contact with a rotating friction-wheel 3. The knife is thus rotated, and by turning the wheel 4 round the cylinder 6 the rib top may be severed. The ring 12 is now lowered to repeat the operation. The cylinder 21 is removed, and by moving it downwards in the ring 22 the cam 35 moves outwards the fingers 23 and expands the tube, so as to transfer it either to another machine or to a transfer ring. When transferring plain fabrics, the ring 12 may be provided with a set of radial points, which may be moved inwards by a cam ring and caused to engage the fabric before it is moved up, or the bits 13 may have barbs 45, as shown in Fig. 6. A disc 30, Fig. 2, forms a guard for the knife 25.

Abstract: 8520. Thompson, W. P., [Dowell, A. E.]. April 25. Feeding-apparatus for webs; cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces.-Relates to apparatus for feeding and manipulating webs in machines in which the web is fed in and out continuously, but has periods of rest in the machine. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to a " Duplex printing-machine (Specification No. 11,727, A.D. 1891) having cylinders rolling over flat type beds. The web is fed in continuously by rollers K, K<1>, K<2>, and out by rollers O, O<1>. It is taken up and paid out, as required by the printing-mechanism, by loopers l, l<1> on a vertically-sliding frame L having a rack L' engaged by a wheel R on the shaft of the roller O. The rollers O, O<1> are driven at the same speed as the rollers K, K', &c. by a train of gearing o. The wheel R is half the diameter of the roller O, and is loose upon its shaft. It is clutched to its shaft during the required time by the operation of a cam s', Fig. 2, which is driven at a constant speed and may be on the shaft of the cutting-cylinder C. The cams' operates the clutch lever S. The cutting- cylinders are driven at a constant speed by a train of gearing o<2>, o<3>, o<4>, o<5>, from a wheel k<3> on the driving-shaft. The wheel R raises the looper-frame L, and, when released, the frame L is moved down by a spring-pressed lever T. A cushioning-device U, u may be provided to prevent a too sudden descent of the looper-frame. The feed-rollers K, K<1>, and consequently the feeding-out rollers and the wheel R, are driven from the wheel k<3> at a speed which may be varied, for different lengths of sheet, by an arrangement of change gearing. The movement of the looper-frame is therefore varied with the speed of the feed-rollers. In a modification, the frame L is raised by a friction gear arrangement in place of the toothed wheel R and rack.

Title: Improved Gas Regulator, Suitable also for use as a Gas Holder and a Gas Washer.
Inventor: DARGUE WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1902-04-11
Granted: 1903-03-19
Abstract: 8516. Dargue, W. H. April 11. Hydrogen; oxygen.-An ordinary gasholder a, b is charged to the required height with water through a stand-pipe d, and is provided with a small bell g which is supported over the gas inlet tube f by a lever h whose other end is connected by a cord or chain m to the top of the bell b. The oxygen, hydrogen, or other gas passes into the bell g, and then forces the water seal, whereby it is washed, and passes to the holder. As the bell b rises, the bell g necessarily falls, causing the water seal to become greater, so that finally the entering gas will not have sufficient pressure to force the seal. As the gas is withdrawn through the tube o, n the reverse action takes place. The liquid forming the seal may be chosen according to the gas to be purified. Several modifications are described and illustrated, namely :-(1) a small mercury cup replaces the water in the holder; (2) the bell g is carried from the bell b by a chain passing over a pulley ; (3) the bell g is inverted and is connected by a tube to the cover b so as to rise and fall with it, while the gas inlet tube dips downwards into it ; (4) the bell g, again inverted, is connected by a chain &c. to the bell b ; and (5) the bell g is arranged as in the second modification but dips into water in the holder.

Title: Improvements in Looms specially applicable for the Weaving of Wire Cloth.
Inventor: MACKENZIE JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-05-04
Granted: 1904-03-31
Abstract: 10,112. Mackenzie, J. W., [Greenleaf, O. S.]. May 4. Looms for weaving wire cloths for paper machines, or other fabrics. Beat-up motions.-The lay 29 is pivoted at 32, and has imparted to it a double beat-up motion by means of rods 33 connected to a pivoted frame 34, which is oscillated by means of rollers working in cam-grooves 36 in rotating discs 35. The roller studs, fixed to the frame 34, pass through horizontally-elongated rectangular slots in the circular stud-blocks of the rollers, so that at the end of each positive forward movement of the lay, the momentum of the latter carries it further forward to beat up the weft with a blow similar to that imparted by hand-operated lays. The momentum of the lay is regulated by changing the position of weights 49 on arms 47, 48 extending radially from the centre of motion of the lay. Let-off motions; take-up motions.-The warp beam 26 is slowly rotated through worm, bevel, and spur wheel gearing from a ratchet-wheel 63, which is actuated by a pawl 64 on an arm connected to a pivoted lever 66, oscillated by wipers 67 on a rotating disc. This motion may also be applied to the cloth beam 28 as a take-up motion, or a spur-wheel 80 on the shaft of the cloth beam may gear with a spur-wheel 82 having a sliding spline engagement with a short shaft 83, on which is a winding-drum 84. A cord 86 is wound round the drum, guided round a pulley 87, and attached to a weight 88, so that a yielding rotational stress is imposed on the cloth beam to take-up the cloth as made. This arrangement may be applied to the warp beam, and the cloth beam positively rotated by the ratchet mechanism, so that the take-up action will draw the warp off the warp beam against yielding pressure. The worm-wheel 55 on the warp-beam shaft may be unfastened, so that the beam may run free if desired, and by freeing the winding-drum 84 on the shaft 83 the cloth beam may be rotated by a crank in either direction. Cloth beams; warp beams.-The cloth and warp beams may be loosely mounted on their shafts, and be yieldingly connected thereto by means of friction shoes 94, Fig. 9, fitted on arms 93, extending from collars 92 fixed to the shafts. The friction shoes are pressed by springs 95 against the inside of cup-shaped casings at the ends of the beams. Picking-motions.-The picking-stick 96, Fig. 1, is connected to a vertical rock-shaft 98, which is partially rotated to bring the picking-stick into its striking position, by means of a cam 97 acting on a lever connected by linkwork to the shaft 98. When permitted by the cam, a spring 102 encircling the rock-shaft reacts to rock the shaft 98 and actuate the picking-stick 96. The picking- stick is jointed at 103, to adjust itself to the variations in the height of the lay beam. The picking - stick may otherwise be operated by means of a cam-groove, which engages a camroller on the end of an extension from the picking-stick.
