Title: Improvements in Balling Machines for Yarn, Thread, Twine & the like.
Inventor: BAINES EDMUND NORBURY
Filed: 1902-04-23
Granted: 1903-04-23
Abstract: 9357. Baines, E. N., Schmidt, J. W., and Walls, A. G. April 23. Balling twine.-The shaft D from which the flyers are driven carries a chain-wheel C having clutches E, F on each side, so that it can drive the shaft directly for balling through the clutch K ; or, by means of the clutch E and suitable gearing, it can drive a loose clutch-wheel T thereon. The cam shaft Z is also driven slowly through the clutch E. The engagement and disengagement of the clutches E, K is effected by a spring shunt bar J the springs of which are comprised or released by a cam lever and certain catches operated by tappets on the shaft 1C. In order that the flyers may be stopped in the correct position for applying the tickets, when the clutch F, K has been released, the shaft D is slowly rotated through the clutch E and the clutch 1X, which is pressed into engagement with the clutch T by the stop plate 1V, the rotation continuing until the projections on the clutch 1X come opposite the apertures in the stop plate, when the clutch IX is suddenly disengaged by a spring and the shaft is blocked. During the ticketing operation, the clutch 1X is placed by the cam lever 1W into gear with the slowly-rotating wheel T, whereby the flyers are rotated for the purpose of binding the tickets upon the balls. The wheel L is connected by toothed gearing with a shaft 2J carrying cams, which operate respectively the ticket holders, the needle holders, the thread hooks, and effect the reciprocation of the spindles for dipping. A needle is shown separately in Fig. 10. It is held in the holder by means of a spring catch 4W, and is provided with an eye, of which one side 5D is collapsable to facilitate the insertion of the thread. The swinging rail carrying the spindles turns about the axle of the wheel 2B, and the position of the rail is controlled by a quadrant 4F connected with a weighted lever 4E, which is raised intermittently by tappets on the shaft 1C, and, when raised, is prevented from falling by a ratchet arrangement in connection with the stud carrying the bowl 4D. The stud carries a ratchet pawl and is pierced by a toothed rack 4J pivoted to the frame. The lever 4E is operated by adjustable tappets, and, after each rotation of the shaft 1C, the ratchet pawl is released by a special tappet 4K so that the lever 4E can resume the starting position. Reference is made to Specification No. 699, A.D. 1860, [Abridgment Class Spinning],

Granted: 1902-08-28
Abstract: 16,288. Hahn, G. July 22. Weighing - apparatus; coin action; fraud, preventing.- To prevent a coinf r e e d weighing- apparatus from being used more than once for a single coin, the scale and index hand are covered by a plate p, if the weight fluctuates or after the machine has been in use a certain length of time. The cover-plate is carried by a rod s pivoted to a weighted coin lever d mounted on a fulcrum d<1> and having a projection d<3> which turns a weighted lever e on its pivot f until engaged by a locking- tooth e<3>. At the same time, a tooth e' on the lever e is freed from a recess in a disc a operated by clockwork mechanism w and having a pin b which, after a given period, operates the lever e so as to free the coin lever and allow the locking-tooth e' to re-engage the disc. If the weights g are caused to oscillate, a pin h on one of them acts on a downward extension of the lever e, so as to free the coin lever. The lever d may have a tooth, to engage the disc, or an arm to engage the fan or brake-wheel of the mechanism w.

Title: Improvements in connection with Valves, Valve Seats and Fittings for the same.
Inventor: OGDEN JOHN EDWARD LEWIS
Filed: 1902-11-05
Granted: 1903-09-24
Abstract: 24,254. Ogden, J. E. L. Nov. 5. Sliding valves; Lift valves.-Relates to means for holding down removable seats in valves, specially applicable to valves used for high temperature or superheated steam. Fig. 1 shows the application to a sluice valve. The two annular seats e are constructed with bevelled edges f and are secured in position by the action of one or more bevelled bridge-piecesj, and two or more bevelled snugs h under which the edges of the seats pass. Packing- rings g are used to make tight joints. A set-screw n forces up the bridge-piece j, and tightens the seats ; a packing m of asbestos, copper, or other material is placed between the screw and the stem l of the bridge. In a modification, Fig. 4, the bridge is replaced by two screw pins q, each acting on the bevelled face of a valve seat. In another arrangement, shown in Fig. 6, the screwed pins 3 act on plungers z, which have bevelled ends engaging with the bevelled edge of the valve seat. The screws may be placed inside the valve instead of outside. A lift valve provided with a removable seat is shown in Fig. 11, the edge of the seat e being curved at f and held in place by snugs h, and a bevelled stud 5, and secured in place by a screw n. In a modification, the securing-stud is placed at right-angles to the seat, and is secured by a screw nut outside the casing.

Title: A Process and Machine for the Production of Arrangements of Bands of Woof for Carpet Weaving.
Inventor: BARKER GEORGE
Filed: 1902-12-24
Granted: 1903-12-24
Abstract: 28,462. Barker, G., [Watzlawik, F.]. Dec. 24. Shuttleless looms; chenille.-Pile weft for use in weaving carpets is made by cutting transversely a fabric composed of woollen or yarn threads inter. laced with warp threads by means of running threads, hooked needles being employed to effect the interlacing. Warp threads 1 are directed by thread-guides 14 and rods 15 towards a grooved bar 16, and are connected, beneath a bar 21, to warp threads 2, which are directed by threadguides 19 past feed-rollers 20. The connected threads pass over the bar 16 and round two rollers 11, 17, the roller 17 being supported by arms 17<6> on a shaft 18 and pressed against the roller 11 by means of a spring 18<a> and arm 17<a> on the shaft. The roller 11 is secured to a shaft 10 carrying a ratchet-wheel 12, which is rotated by a pawl 9 carried by an arm 8, to which an oscillatory motion of variable amount is transmitted from a disc 5 through an adjustable link 7. The running threads 4, Fig. 8, pass through apertures in a bar, which is moved by means of a cam and linkwork so as to lay the threads in loop form round a series of tubular hooks 23, within which are tongues 23a. The warp threads which pass through grooves in the bar 16 are displaced laterally by means of a cam-wheel, whence motion is transmitted to the bar. The yarn threads 3 are introduced into the shed, formed by the warp threads, by grippers 47 mounted on a slide 48 and actuated by means of linkwork from a shaft 5<a>. During the motion of the grippers, their jaws are forced apart, against the pressure of springs, by an opener or oscillatory arm 50 ; continuing its motion, the opener releases the jaws, which then close upon the yarn. When the yarn has been drawn forwards by a lifting-bar 52, which is ctuated by means of an eccentric 53, lever 54, and connecting-rod 57 which carries the bar, the yarn is severed by cutting-blades 59 actuated by links 60 and levers 61. The lifting- bar presents the yarn to a transporter 63, which is a plate having needles which pierce the yarn ; the transporter is actuated by rods 64, angle-lever 65, and an eccentric 66. The yarn threads are presented to the grippers by means of levers which are selected, in accordance with the colours of yarn required, by means of a pattern card coacting with vertically-movable pins which control a series of levers connected to the levers which present the yarns to the grippers. A weftcounting apparatus is employed to allow a large number of yarns of the same colour to rise one after another without causing the pattern card to advance. This counter comprises a number of counting levers and wheels, which are released by hooks, together with a shaft governing the jacquard, so as to cause the counting-wheels to turn, until the desired number of yarns of the same colour have been presented to the grippers, when the shaft governing the jacquard is again locked and actuates the jacquard.
