Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 20,940. Hancock, F. Oct. 5. Pottery. - Relates to apparatus for shaping basins, bowls, electric-insulator fittings, flower-pots, jars and pots for containing edibles, ointments, &c., and the bodies of cups, mugs, teapots, vases, &c. The clay to be shaped is carried by a chock 11 having its lower end formed as a grooved sleeve 16, which is secured to the jigger spindle in such a manner as to allow of a small relative vertical movement. The counterweighted jolley-lever 8, carrying a tool 18 for shaping the base of the article made in the manner described in Specification No. 448, A.D. 1905, is mounted on the forked end of a pillar 4 and is pulled down towards the rotating chock 11 until it meets a spring or other stop 7 on a lug on the pillar 4. The chock 11 is then raised, so as to move the clay into contact with the tool 18, by rotating a screw 13 working in a fixed frame 12 and engaging with one end of a pivoted lever 14, the other end of which is forked to engage with the grooved sleeve 16. The jolley-lever, when released, is returned to its normal position by the counterweight. A profile tool 22, mounted on a compound slide-rest 21, is next moved forward to shape the exterior surface of the article, after which the screw 13 is rotated so as to lower the chock and form the rim of the article by contact with a shaping-tool 26. The chock is then again raised and the article removed. In a modification, the mechanism for lifting the chock is arranged below the work - bench, instead of above as shown in Fig. 1. According to the Provisional Specification, the jolley-lever carries a rotatable india-rubber or like flexible tubular block to serve as a centring- device for the clay article.

Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 25,813. Schirp, H. Nov. 30. Bleaching; ; dyeing.-Textile materials are dyed, bleached, and otherwise treated with liquids in a closed receptacle connected with a liquor-chamber, the treating-liquor being circulated through both in alternate directions. In one modification, Fig. 1, the goods are contained between a perforated false bottom 6 and a perforated pressing-cover 7 in one compartment 4 of a vat 1. This compartment 4 and another 3, forming the liquor-chamber, are formed by a partition 2, and both are closed by an air-tight cover. The bottom portion 12 of the liquor-chamber 3 is cut off by an horizontal partition 11 and contains a pump 13. Liquor can be drawn from the bottom of the materials through an opening 9 between the pump-chamber 12 and the space 10 below the false bottom 6, and forced through a swivelling pipe 14 detachably connected with an aperture in the goods-chamber cover 15, so pressing and sucking the liquor down through the goods. To reverse, the opening 9 is closed by a valve 8, the pipe 14 is connected to a fixed pipe 16 at the side of the vat and connected to the bottom space 10, and connexion is opened between the liquor-chamber 3 and the top of the treating- compartment 4 and the pump chamber 12 by withdrawing valves 17, 18. The liquor therein follows the contrary course up through the materials, simultaneously forcing and drawing by suction as before. In the second modification, Fig. 3, the goods and liquor chambers 4, 3 are separate but connected above and below the perforated partitions 7, 6 by pipes 22, 21 respectively. The goods chamber 4 is always closed air-tight and the other 3 is optionally so. The pipes 22, 21 are connected by means of three-way cocks 24, 23 with the delivery pipe 26 of a pump 13, the suction-pipe 27 being connected with the liquor-chamber 3. By suitably operating the cosks 24, 23, the pump will force the treating-liquid in either direction through the goods, and, if the liquor-chamber 3 is closed air-tight, will exert suction at the same time. The cocks 24, 23 may be simultaneously operated by means of a suitable mechanical connexion.

Abstract: 1696. Schubert & Salzer Maschinenfabrik Akt.-Ges. Jan. 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Warp machines. - The lapping of the threads on the needles is facilitated, particularly in fine-gauge machines, by the use of instruments 7, 8 of hooked or bayonet shape, which are brought between the needles 1 after each movement of the guide-bars. By this means, the tendency of the threads carried in guides such as 3<1>, which have been deflected by the jacquard for pattern-forming purposes, to miss the respective needles, is obviated. Fig. 1 shows the threads from the guides 3, 4 lying crossed at the back of the needles. In the stage shown in Fig. 4, the instruments 7 have descended, causing the threads to cross at the back of the needles and preventing the inclined threads from slipping over the beards. The threads are then crossed in front of the needles, and the crossings are brought down below the beards by the instruments 8, Fig. 10, the instruments 7 meanwhile receding. The instruments 8 then return, and the tension of the threads brings the respective crossings underneath the beards, which are then pressed &c.
