Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Winding Cops.
Inventor: PEPLING MARINUS
IPC: B65H54/14
Filed: 1909-10-21
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 24,192. Pepling, M. Oct. 21. Winding-machines.-In a winding-machine adapted to wind cops of cotton or silk on paper tubes, of the class known as horizontal quilling-machines in which the relative advance between the thread-guide, which is reciprocated lengthways of the spindle, and the spindle, is produced by a friction disk brought into contact with the thread of the cop, two friction disks, mounted upon a shaft fixed in position relatively to the winding-spindle are employed, one to build up the heel of the cop and the other the body of the cop. The cops are built on a series of spindles 3. Fig. 3, driven through friction gearing 6, 7 from a central shaft 5. The thread-guides 16 are mounted on carriers 17 coupled to screws 18, which are reciprocated horizontally by arms 19 from a rock-shaft 20. The rock-shaft 20, Fig. 2, is operated from a central shaft 24 through a cam 27, which is engaged by a rider on a bowl on an arm 29 attached to the rackshaft. The rider 28, Fig. 5, has three sides which are at different distances from its axis 31, and which are successively brought into engagement with the cam 27, and is used to cause the starting position of the rock-shaft 20, and therefore the position of successive layers of yarn being wound on the spindle, to vary. The relative advance between the threadguide and the spindle to accomplish the building of the cop is obtained by friction disks 32, 34, Fig. 10, which are adjustably or permanently mounted upon an extension of the screw 18; these disks are rotated by contact with the cop, thus feeding the screw 18 through the nut which connects it to the arm 19. The disk 32, which is of larger diameter, is used during the building of the heel of the cop; but when the cop has attained such a diameter that the disk 34 comes into contact with it, the disk 32, which is situated at a distance from the disk 34 greater than the traverse of the thread-guide, is kept out of action, and the body of the cop is built through the action of the disk 34.

Inventor: COURTECUISSE VICTOR
IPC: G09F9/37
Filed: 1909-12-09
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 28,842. Courtecuisse, V. Dec. 9. Monogrammic signals. -Numerals, letters, or lines for the purposes of signalling or advertising are built up of units each of which is in the form of a small disk of distinctive colour on a background of another colour. Each such disk is formed of two half disks, one half of which can either be turned outwards so as to expose the complete disk, or closed over the other half so as to become invisible, owing to its rear surface being painted the same colour as the background. By opening out certain of the disks and maintaining the others closed the desired letter, numeral, &c. is displayed. This is done by electro-magnetic means. The half disk 1, shown in Fig. 7, is operated by a rack and pinion and a pair of solenoids E. Fig. 9 shows by way of example how a particular character may be produced. The letter I is displayed by turning over the three half disks 1, 2, 3. This is done by applying a metal character H corresponding to the letter to be indicated, to the contact studs G, one of which serves for the return of the current. The second set of studs G enables the displayed letter to disappear when the switch J is turned so as to close the circuits of the solenoids which close up the half disks.
