Title: Improvements in or connected with Warp Let-off Mechanism for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D49/06
Filed: 1911-07-01
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 15,339. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. July 1. Letting - off warps. - The warps 6 from the warp beam 3, Figs. 1 and 3, pass over a whip-roll 7 carried by levers 8 controlled by a compression spring 47, which may be adjusted by means of a handwheel 48. When the whip-roll is raised, or lowered through a certain distance, the end 43<1> of an arm 43 strikes one of a pair of adjustable stops 42 and turns a frictionallycontrolled disk 36, thus turning an arm 35 and moving a rod 32 connected to a projection 31<3> of a pivoted arm 31. The movement of the arm 31 allows one of a pair of pawls 28, 29 carried by a swinging arm 24 to engage a corresponding ratchet - wheel 22 or 23, whereby a worm 20 is rotated and turns a wheel 19 connected to one end of a spring 18, the other end of which is secured to a drum 13. Movement of the whiproll thus alters the drag on the warp beam by tightening or slackening a chain, cord, &c. 5, which is secured to the drum 13 and passes round the brake drum 4 on the warp beam 3. Fig. 5 shows a modification, in which two brake cords 5, 5' at opposite sides of the loom are tensioned by weights 53, 54 acting on levers 58, 65 connected by links 60, 67 to levers 61, 68, to which the cords 5, 5' are secured. Movement of the whip-roll causes rotation of a worm-wheel 19, as described with reference co Figs. 1 and 3, and thus moves a chain 50 and causes the weights 53, 54 to move towards or away from the fulcra of the levers 58, 65.

Abstract: 7355. Lake, W. E., [Huebner-Bleistein Patents Co.]. March 26. Printing - apparatus, step-and-repeat; printing-apparatus with bordering and vignetting masks.-In a machine for producing prints upon cylindrical surfaces, illuminating chambers are arranged at opposite sides of, and are movable towards and from the cylinder. The printing may be done upon the cylinder itself, or on a separate thin plate, sheet, or tube which is fastened on the cylinder. A sensitized sheet b, Figs. 1 and 2, may be fastened on to the cylinder B bv a clamping-bar b<1>, which is secured by clamping-bolts b<2>. The cylinder B is rotatably mounted in a carriage C, which itself is adjustable transversely along guides c, c<1> of the frame a. The cylinder is supported on a frame c<3>, which is pivoted centrally at c<4> to swing horizontally in the carriage C. One end c<5> of the frame c<3> is hinged to the bottom bar of the frame and has an open-sided bearing seat for the cylinder journal, to permit the removal and replacing of the cylinder, by tilting the frame. The spring bolt c<6>, bearing against the arm c<5>, prevents endlong movement of the cylinder when positioned. The cylinder is rotated by a shaft D, which has a squared end to engage the cylinder and is coupled and uncoupled by the handle d. The printing-chambers E, E' are fitted with face-plates e<2>, which are of proper cylindrical shape to fit the cylinder closely and press the flexible printing films or sheets e' against the surface printed. One of the film rollers e<5> is spring-actuated to take up any slack film and yield when the pressure is applied. An additional film e<7> may be used for obtaining masking or other effects. The printing-chambers are moved towards the cylinder by means of two pairs of screws M operated simultaneously from a hand-wheel m<5> by means of bevel and shaft gearing. The 'horizontal step - by - step adjustment of the cylinder is effected by two screw shafts F, F' working in nuts f on the carriage and operated simultaneously by bevel and shaft gearing from the loose or driven member of a clutch G, the other, or driving member, of which is secured to a main driving-shaft (not shown). For the rotational adjustment of the cylinder, the shaft D is rotated by bevel gear I. which has a sliding connexion with the shaft and is operated through the bevel shaft gearing from the loose or driven member of a second clutch L, the other or driven member being connected to the main driving-shaft. The clutches G, L may be controlled from an electric switch. For rapid adjustments, micrometer controllers O, P are used, which operate automatically to open the operating-circuits of the clutches G, L and stop the adjusting-mechanisms driven thereby, when the cylinder reaches its predetermined position. Controllers such as are described in Specification 21,513/11 may be used.
