Abstract: 25,973. Rayner, G. F. Dec. 13. Kinematographs.-Relates to improvements in the kinematographic apparatus described in Specification No. 9406, A.D. 1905. The driving-disk therein described is provided with radial slots, each of which in passing the lens acts as a focal plane shutter, and exposes a portion of the film. Fig. 1 shows the intermittently-rotating disk B that carries the film, and the continuously-rotating driving- disk A, which is provided with slots a for the purpose described.. Fig. 2 shows a stop device for stopping the disk A at the end of one revolution. The stop a, Fig. 1, fixed in the disk A, comes in contact with a projection c on a slide C and forces out the slide, so that another projection c' thereon ,comes into the path of the pin a<2> and stops the disk from rotating when the pin a<2> reaches the projection c'. When uninterrupted rotation is required, the slide C is pulled out so that the pin a<2> passes between the projections c, c<1>.

In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the bonnet a is made in two halves of thin flexible metal and is disposed between the radiator b and dash-board c. The lower ends are attached to spring rollers d and pass through slots in the wooden frame e, which rests on the chassis in the usual manner. Supporting-ledges for the ends of the flexible cover are attached to the radiator and dash-board, and in the case of long bonnets, one or more intermediate removable supporting bridges g may be provided, or a bar i running longitudinally. The meeting edges of each half of the bonnet are provided with metal borders a<1> having holes or slots a<3>, which engage studs i<1>, so that the parts of the bonnet are held in a closed or partly closed position ; other fastening arrangements may be provided. In a modification, the flexible cover a is made in one piece, and when closed is secured by the fasteners to the wooden frame on one side of the vehicle, the roller being arranged on the other side. In another modification, the spring rollers are arranged side by side on the top of the framework with a protecting cover above them, each half of the bonnet being drawn down and fastened. In a further modification, the roller is arranged above the frame, and the flexible cover passes over a guide - pulley. In another arrangement, each bonnet or half bonnet is made in two parts so that only part of the mechanism need be exposed. A square bonnet is also shown, in which the flexible covers are arranged separately at the top and sides, the rollers being arranged vertically at either the radiator or dash-board end. In a modified form of flexible cover, shown in Fig. 4, a number of sections a<5> are connected to flexible bands a.

Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Horse-hair and other Filaments of Short Length
Inventor: HENDERSON JOHN FRANCIS
Filed: 1907-07-29
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 17,369. Henderson, J. F., and Henderson, S. E., [trading as Henderson Bros.]. July 29. Shuttleless looms; shedding - motions; take - up motions; weft needles or carriers ; picking-mechanism; weft, supplying.-A loom for weaving fabrics with wefts of horsehair or other filaments of short length is provided with a device to detach a single hair from a bunch or stack, a nipper to convey this h a i r through the shed, and mechanism for stopping the shedding and take-up motions should no weft hair be supplied. A single hair is detached from the bunch 76, Fig. 1, by a device carried by a rod 23, which is reciprocated from a pulley 20. The e device comprises a fixed jaw 25<a>, Fig. 10, and a movable jaw 26<b>, which is opened during the descent by a fixed cam 37 acting on a tailpiece 27<a> ; it is momentarily held stationary in i t s upper position by a spring - pressed dog 25 engaging a notch in the pulley 20, and simultaneously the end of the nipper bar 39 strikes against a bar, and causes its upper end 30 to open the jaw 26<b>, thus releasing the hair, which is then seized by the jaw 50, Fig. 7, of the nipper, which has been opened by a swinging gravity cam in the guide 55. The cam permits the jaw to remain closed during the return movement, the hair being thus drawn through the shed and released by a suitable device at the other side of the loom. The nipper-bar 39 is given a rectilinear reciprocating movement by means of a system of links operated from the shaft 48<a>. The rod 23 makes three or any other number of reciprocations to one of the nipper. The dog 25 is removed from the notch in the pulley 20 by the bell-crank lever 27 being operated to strike the rod 26, a pin 21<a> assisting the dog to return to the circumference of the pulley. The shedding-motion is operated from a series of cams 3 with undulating surfaces operated by a pawl 72 engaging pins 71, and the take-up motion is driven from the pin 66, Fig. 2, by means of a lever 64 and pawl 67. Should no hair be taken through the shed, there will be no tension on a roller 79 carried by a hooked bar 80 engaging a bell-crank lever 81. The spring 82 then depresses the lever 81, and, through connexions, lifts the pawls 67, 72 out of gear, this being rendered possible once in each cycle of operations by the pin 66 withdrawing the support of the lever 85 from the lever 81.
