Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic "Doffers" for "Fly" Spinning Frames.
Inventor: NEWSHOLME NORMAN ROBERT
Filed: 1907-10-01
Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 21,697. Newsholme, N. R. Oct. 1. Doffing-arrangements ; thread-severing arrangements. - The mechanism for doffing a set of full bobbins, replacing them by empty ones, and severing the threads is operated from a cam shaft C driven from the loose pulley, cams being arranged thereon to operate in sequence clutches which transmit the motion of the shaft B to the various devices. Flyer holders G are constructed with one arm longer than the other and with recesses for positioning and holding the flyers, and are advanced by a rack and pinion actuated by a chain K to hold the flyers while they are unscrewed by worms J<2>, which are slid into engagement with the spindle by a cam lever 13<A> and are rotated by a cam 4 and the gearing shown in Fig. 10. Bobbin holders L are advanced by a rack and pinion L<3> to hold the bobbins, while the step rail and lifting-rail are being lowered, and to carry them forward over pegs P mounted on a rail which is elevated by a double-acting cam, thereby causing the rod O, which is engaged by a cam O<2> and carries springs or wedges O<4>, to move longitudinally and wedge the bobbins on the pegs. Empty bobbins are carried by spring holders R' which, when rotated about a shaft R', engage a projection on the frame of the machine, thereby releasing the bobbins which are then deposited on the empty spindles. The spindle and lifting rails are raised, the flyers screwed on the spindles, and a few turns of thread wound round the empty bobbins ; the peg rail, which is held by a ratchet pawl, is then released and drops quickly, thereby breaking the threads, which are engaged by threadbreakers O<3>, and tilting the pegs P so as to facilitate the removal of the bobbins, as shown in Fig. 1. The ordinary gear for actuating the building- motion is disconnected during doffing by a clutch connected with the setting-on rod, and the spindledriving bands are automatically shifted on to a loose pulley W<1> when the belt-fork is moved to stop the machine. The cam levers which operate the clutches actuating the pinions for raising and lowering the step rail are provided with bowls V which engage with projections on the rail to ensure the clutches being thrown out of gear at the proper times. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that the cams put into gear worms and worm-wheels which operate the various motions, the faces of the cams being adjustable as to length.

Title: Improvements in Turbines Driven by Combustion Gases.
Inventor: GUETTLER MAX RICHARD
Filed: 1908-05-26
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 11,459. Guttler, M. R. May 26. Gas turbines.-A helically or obliquely grooved drum 3 is revolved within a cylindrical casing 1 by the pressure exerted on the sides of the grooves by the igniting of an explosive mixture of air and gas which is pumped into a chamber 5 from a pump 7 and air-pumps 20, 21. The pumps are driven from the main shaft 2 through an auxiliary shaft 6, which is geared to turn at half the speed of the shaft 2, the pumps 20, 21 being eccentrically driven so that they are alternately on the suction stroke to give a constant air supply and at the same time to produce constant overpressure in the explosion chamber. The pump 7 is connected with a pipe 11 leading to the carburettor by an inlet valve 12, and with a pipe 10 leading to the gas dome 14 by an outlet valve 13. The gas is admitted into the explosion chamber 5 when the pressure is greatest, by the opening of a valve 15, which is operated through a lever 17, the arm 18 of which is at this moment operated by a tappet 19 on the shaft 6. An igniting-device may be operated by a similar tappet, which actuates a sliding contact in a well-known manner at the moment that the valve 15 closes. The air-pumps 20, 21 have inlet valves connecting with the suction pipe 24, and outlet valves connecting with the feed-pipe 23, which opens into the explosion chamber in the form of a number of pipes seated in star-shape about the shaft 2, with their pointed ends directed inwards. The explosion gases are thus prevented from striking back, and at the same time the shaft 2 is cooled. Three exhaust valves 31 arranged around the cylinder are opened to allow the gases to escape and are controlled from the main shaft 2 so that the valves open once for every two revolutions of the shaft 2. The pinion 34 drives a wheel 35, twice -its size, on which is mounted one end of a rod 36 which connects at its other end with a sleeve 32 on the shaft, the sleeve having three star-shaped projections 33, which, when the sleeve is drawn over, operate levers 37, which are attached to the spring-held valves 31, seated in raised parts 40 of the sides of the cylinder. Special forms of helical grooves are shown, these grooves having pitch and curvature suitable to the number of revolutions and to purposes of economy. In case of a number of drums being arranged on the shaft, the grooves are arranged at the beginning in different relative planes in the different front ends. The cylinders may be cooled by water-jackets as shown.

Filed: 1908-08-13
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 17,053. Aerators Ltd., Read, H. V. R., and Campbell, R. H. Aug. 13. Direct gas-pressure apparatus.-In apparatus for drawing-off beer, petroleum, or other liquids by means of compressed gas, of the type having a single cock for simultaneously admitting the compressed gas and allowing the liquid to flow out, a separate valve is fitted to the compressed gas container so as to control the passage of the gas independently of the cock. The valve 2 controlling the supply of gas from the container 1 is operated by a lever 10 pivoted upon a tubular extension of the container, which is free to slide upon a fixed stem having a recess through which the lever passes and against the upper side of which the lever abuts. A spring presses the container and sleeves upwards, but by moving the upper end of the lever towards the containers, the latter is caused to move downwards, whereupon the valve 2 comes into contact with the fixed spindle and is thereby opened. The end of the valve may be provided with a small perforated plug containing a porous material, such as a slice of cane. The compressed gas passes from the valve 2 to a passage 17, 15 and thence through a port 13 in the plug cock 12 to the annular space between the pipes 18, 22, from which it passes to the space above the liquid in the receptacle. The liquid is drawn off from the pipe 22 through ports in the plug cock 12 and delivery pipe 21. A second valve may be provided in the pipe 17 below the valve 2 for the purpose of admitting a definite quantity of gas, namely, that contained between the two valves.
