Patent GB-190814552-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Wire Winding Machines.
Inventor: BROWN WILLIAM GIBB
Filed: 1908-07-09
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 14,552. Brown, W. G. July 9. Wire. - In an apparatus for winding wire, especially large wire, there are provided special constructions for the reel, for the winding-onmechanism, for the tension device, and for the stopmotion. Two disks 5, 4, Fig. 1, having radial slots and curved slots respectively are superposed, and vertical rods 8 supported by rods 9 are mounted in the slots to form a framework, which can be expanded and contracted. The reel thus formed is loose on a shaft 10, and the wire passes over it, between vertical rollers 12, and over a series of guide-pulleys and a tension pulley to the bobbin. One of the guide-pulleys is mounted on the traversing shaft 19, Fig. 6, which receives motion from the shaft 24 through-the toothed and screw-and-nut gearing shown. The shaft 24 carries a double tapered plug 23, which can be put into gear with one or other of the oppositely rotating pulleys 22 by the shifting of the lever arm 25. In one form of apparatus, shown in Fig. 9, the shifting is performed by inclines 31 engaging a roller 30 on the arm 25, a projection 28 on which engages in slots. The projection is first freed from the slot by the engagement of a roller 62 with the spring 29 which maintains the projection in the slot. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the traversing shaft presses springs 43 against the arm 25, thereby also pressing a projection 37 on the arm against projections 39 on a pivoted rod 38. When the rod 38 is depressed against the action of a weight by a roller 41 on the shaft 19 engaging knobs 40, the arm 25 is set free to be thrown over under the action of one of the springs. The starting-lever 45, Fig. 7<A>, is supported on a piece 46 which may be removed when the tension is excessive by the engagement of a projection on the slip-jack or tension-pulley device with a bent lever 44. This allows a lever 50 to be depressed under spring action to stop the rotation of the bobbin by a friction device and by a cord 57, Figs. 1 and 7<A>, to operate a lever brake 11 and stop the reel. When the slip-jack falls, it operates a bell-crank to operate in turn the brake lever 11 and a brake on the guide-pulley of the traversing shaft, thus compensating in tension for the slip-jack.

Abstract: 27,960. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, Hird, F., and Grimston, G. S. Dec. 23. Search-lights.-Two search-lights mounted side by side are geared so that they can be trained and tipped either independently or in invariable relation to each other. The mechanism is situated between the lower parts of the barrels, and a large part of it can be detached with the barrels. A turntable B, which may be rotated by hand or by a worm B<1> to effect simultaneous horizontal training, carries a post C through which passes a shaft D. A vertical sector a for each search-light is hung on the shaft D and is toothed at a<1> to engage a worm c operated by a hand-wheel d<2>. To allow of simultaneous vertical training, the worm shafts have spur-wheels, one of which engages a broad pinion on an intermediate shaft. This pinion can be slid on the shaft, so as to engage both spur-wheels, by a short lever, the end of which passes between two flanges on a sleeve attached to the pinion. Alternatively, the sectors may be clamped together by means of arms j, j<1>, one of which carries a screw and a wing-nut or clamping-lever, while the other is made with a curved slot. Two perforated arms h, h<1> are cast on each vertical sector to receive pivots i, i<1> secured to a bracket on the corresponding barrel A, which can thus be readily detached without leaving any awkwardly-projecting parts. Spring cotters may be used to retain the pivots in their bearings. On the barrel are bearings c<3> for a spindle c<2> carrying a hand-wheel c<4> and a worm engaging a toothed sector b. This is attached to a tubular pivot i<4> which passes between the pivot i<1> and the arm h<1>. The sector b may be detached with the barrel. To prevent rotation of the horizontal sector b during horizontal training by the wheel c<4>, the horizontal sector is also connected to the vertical one by an arm on the former carrying a pin which enters a socket on the vertical sector. The worms may be arranged as described in Specification No. 20,201, A.D. 1907, so that they may readily be disengaged.
