Abstract: 15,448. Stibbe, G., [Wildman Manufacturing Co.]. July 4. Circular machines. - Relates to means for Simultaneously adjusting, through pattern mechanism, the cylinder and dial stitch cams of rib-knitting machines. It is essential in knitting, say 2/2 rib fabric, that, in drawing loops, the order a, b, c, d, Fig. 5, be preserved; if, for example, the cylinder stitch cam be adjusted independently of the dial cam, the proper sequence of drawing loops would be disturbed and might result in strained and broken yarn. A plate 9 fixed to the post 10 of the cylinder stitch cam 8 has an inclined top for engagement with a screw 11 carried by a swing- ing arm 12. The arm is turned towards or away from the cylinder to depress or elevate the stitch cam by geared tappets 14, 16 controlled by the pattern-mechanism. The arm 12 also carries a projection 20 which moves the dial stitch cam 5 inwards a proportionate amount.

Inventor: PETIT FERNAND
IPC: D01F2/06
Filed: 1913-10-27
Granted: 1914-09-03
Abstract: 24,376. Petit, F. Oct. 27. Xanthates. -Artificial silk and similar articles are prepared from viscose solution by passing the filament into a bath consisting of a solution of a mineral or organic acid and a salt in such proportions that the thread issues in a set condition and in the form of xanthogenate, then submitting the filament to tension to produce an internal compression, and finally converting the xanthogenate into cellulose hydrate by passing the filament into a bath consisting of mineral acid alone or with a small addition of salts. Suitable setting-baths contain: marine or common salt and hydrochloric acid; magnesium sulphate and sulphuric acid; sodium sulphate and sulphuric acid; ammonium sulphate and hydrochloric acid ; marine salt and phosphoric acid; marine salt, ammonium chloride, and hydrochloric acid. In a suitable apparatus the thread A, after issuing from the squirting-nozzle and passing through the setting-bath, passes over a bar B, which is constantly reciprocated at right-angles to its length so as to put a tension on the thread. This then passes through a guide-eye C on 'to the reeling-spool D dipping in the regenerating- bath. Specification 8083/02, [Class 120, Spinning], is referred to.

Abstract: 882. Soc. Anon. des Etablissements L. Bleriot. Feb. 7, 1914, [Convention date]. Lighting systems.-The shunt field.magnet winding of a counter-compounded dynamo for lighting and battery-charging is connected in long shunt when the current supplied to the work circuit is zero, or less than a predetermined value, and in short shunt when the current supplied is greater than the value ; the change of connexions is effected either by hand or electro-magnetically. Fig. 2 shows a lighting installation for automobiles comprising a dynamo A, battery B, and lamps L, the dynamo having a shunt field-magnet winding a and a reverse series winding a<0>. When the circuitbreaker 4 for the lamps is open, the switch-arm 12 engages with the contact stud 1 and the winding a is connected in long shunt. If the circuit-breaker 4 is closed, the lamp current flowing through the electro-magnet coil c' causes attraction of the arm 12 and engagement of the arm with the contact 2, thereby changing the connexion of the winding a from long to short shunt.
