Title: Improvements in or relating to Brush Making Machines.
Inventor: BYERS CYRUS ADAMS
Filed: 1903-03-26
Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 7018. Byers, C. A., and Abbey, E. F. March 26. Machines for making.-Relates to brush-making machinery, and has for its object to position a brush block automatically either for the insertion of the bristles or for the formation of the sockets for the reception of the bristles. The invention is shown in connection with a Frazier filling- machine C, Fig. 1, having an inserter D. The block is fixed between adjustable clamps e on a carrier E, which is free to swing in two arcs at right-angles to each other, and by combining these motions the block may be adjusted to any desired position with regard to the inserter D. For this purpose, the carrier is provided with downwardlyextending rods E<1> adjustably mounted in bearings on a shaft E<2>, which is journalled in a frame F having a support F<1> pivoted in, and guided by, an adjustable frame G. The movements are effected by two pattern cams H, one of which oscillates the slotted pieces I<1>, in which are engaged arms I projecting from the carrier E, while the other operates a lever M<1>, in the forked end M of which is held a rod L fixed beneath the carrier E. The cams are driven from a shaft C' by a roller q, Fig. 4, working in a groove in a cam Q' on the shaft C' and situated at one end of a lever Q, which operates ratchet and pawl gearing and worm gearing to drive the cam shaft h in the manner described in Specification No.23,658, A.D. 1900. Stop mechanism is provided to bring the mechanism automatically to rest when the cams have reached a predetermined position. On the cam shaft h is mounted a projection T' adapted to move a rod T', which operates a lever T, Fig. 5, which causes a wedge S to move a spring pin R out of a semicircular recess in a flange or disc on the driving-pulley C<2> ; the pin R is carried by a disc R<6> fixed rigidly on the driving- shaft C'. The wedge S is supported by the frame and is moved out of the path of the pin by a spring S'. The lower end of the rod T<1> consists of a rule-jointed piece T<6> so that a reverse movement of the shaft h may take place without operating the clutch. By substituting cutters for the rollers which engage with the cams H and moving the carrier E by hand, the cams may be formed from suitable blanks.

Abstract: 9511. Abrahams, H. May 5. Bags.-A spring-driven alarm, for use in connexion with a bag, rings for a comparatively short period when the bag is lifted from the ground, and not continuously as in the case of the alarm described in Specification No. 352, A.D. 1899. A vertical section is shown in Fig. 2. The spindle d under the action of the spring d' normally projects through the bottom of the bag, but when resting on its support this spindle is forced up, raising with it an horizontal arm e. This arm at its outer end is forked, and carries there a spring pawl f capable of yielding when the arm e is raised, but acting as rigid when this arm falls. When the bag is raised, the arm e falls and the pawl f meeting the arm g in its path causes it and the spindle g' to which it is secured to rotate. The spindle g<1> is cut away at h<3>, as shown in Fig. 6, and normally under the action of the spring g<3> the circular part of the spindle is in engagement with two recesses within the central bore of the wheels g<4>, g<5>. On rotation of the spindle g<1>, the flat portion h<3> permits these wheels to rotate and therefore the alarm to sound, till the two recesses once more engage with the circular portion of the spindle g<1> owing to the pressure of the spring g<2>. The Spindle g' lies along a groove formed in the fixed spindle g<3>.

The sewing-machines are mounted on swivel blocks' 2 which may be moved to or from a central slide 8 by a right and left handed screw 5. Moving in the slide is a carriage 10 on which are placed the collars, cuffs, &c. to be inserted in the machine. A lever 19 is pivoted to the frame 10, and a spring 25 normally keeps it so that the thin knife-shaped head of a stud 24, fixed in the slotted end of the lever, projects above the frame. The collar is centred by inserting this stud head in the back buttonhole. The ends of the collar are held on adjustable plates 37 by being gripped between spring fingers 46, Fig. 5, and the serrated corners of plates 38 which can be secured in position by studs 39. Proper positioning is ensured by one or more pins 45. While the collar is being positioned, the carriage is as far from the sewing-machines as a bar 14, Fig. 3, will allow. Afterwards the carriage is pushed up to the nuts 17 and the sewing-machine cloth-clamps closed. The carriage can then be removed, leaving the collar in the machine, by pulling the handle 22, which first lowers the positioning-device 24 and then moves the carriage away, the fingers 46 slipping off the collar. In a modification, the sewing-machines and plates 37 are removably connected so that they may be simultaneously adjusted for various sizes of collars. Stops 61 against which the collar abuts are fitted to the sewing-machines, and any ruffling of the collar is smoothed out by plates 60.
