Title: Improvements in Drawing-frames with Hinged Roller Covers.
Inventor: BASLER AUGUST
IPC: D01H5/56
Filed: 1912-01-11
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 865. Basler, A. Jan. 11. Guards, controlling.-An interlocking connexion between the roller covers and the belt-fork of a drawing-frame for fibres comprises a rod S, Fig. 4, extending the whole length of the machine under the covers and carrying brackets W, one to hold up the rear side of each cover D. The rod S is shifted along with the belt-fork, and in the driving position holds all the covers locked; but when the belt is shifted on to the loose pulley, the brackets W are moved clear of the covers and prevent the belt from being moved back if any of the covers are open. When the belt-fork is shifted by a rocking shaft A', Fig. 6, the rod S is moved by an arm H and forked member M.

Equalizing load on generators.-The load on an electric supply system for winding-engines, rolling-mills, and the like is equalized by means of a motor-generator, a battery, and an automatic regulator adapted to vary the excitation of the machines of the motor - generator in accordance with the load on the system. In the arrangement shown, the field windings d, e of the motor-generator a, c are connected in series across a battery f, while a reversible booster g, under the control of a regulator A, is placed between the middle point of the battery f and the points of connexion of the field windings d, e. The magnet n of the regulator A is energized from a current transformer p, and is adapted, when the load on the mains is light, to raise the field current of the machine c and lower that of the machine a, to cause the former to run as a generator to charge the battery f, and the latter to run as a motor to drive the machine c. When the load on the mains is heavy, the machine c runs as a motor and the machine a as a dynamo. The invention may be applied to direct-current supply systems.

Abstract: 28,396. Soc. Houdaille et Sabot. Dec. 9, 1911, [Convention date]. Laminar springs.-Relates to means for varying the flexibility of laminated springs, particularly vehicle springs, and consists in moving the points of support of the whole spring or a part group of blades towards or away from one another along the blades of the spring. Figs. 1 and 2 show constructions in which one leaf c of a semi-elliptic spring a is made adjustable by connecting the ends to blocks e which are moved towards or away from one another on spindles f by right and left handed screw gear, as shown in Fig. 1, or by worm gearing h, i and links g, as shown in Fig. 2. Figs. 3, 6, and 7 show arrangements in which the flexibility of the spring as a whole is adjusted simultaneously on each side of the vehicle by varying the distance between rollers m bearing upon the ends of the spring and carried by transverse shafts r. Fig. 3 shows the adjustment of the rollers m in guides s on the vehicle frame effected by right and left handed screw shafts f on each side of the vehicle, the shafts being interconnected by chain gearing operating upon sprockets x. Fig. 6, which is a plan view of another arrangement for adjusting the rollers m in guides s on the vehicle frame, shows a transverse right and left handed screw, the nuts g<1> of which are connected with the shafts r carrying the rollers m by togglelinks i<1>.
