Title: Improvements in Electrical Welding especially applicable to Teeth, Tines, and the like.
Inventor: PAGE SYDNEY ELLIOTT
Filed: 1908-07-21
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 15,424. Page, S. E., [Universal Electric Welding Co.]. July 21. Welding; working by electricity.-In electrically welding articles to form angle and tee shapes, the pressure is continued after welding so that the metal of the projecting portion bulges out and forms a flange e, Fig. 11, resting on the main surface a but not welded thereto. The invention is particularly applicable to rakes, and the electric welding process is that in which the areas to be joined are proportioned so that the heat capacities are equal. The main surface is provided with projections B, Fig. 4, or with grooves c, Fig. 9, which form isolated surfaces b; in a further modification, Fig. 11, a recess f is formed which presses the isolated surface upwards. The main surface A is placed against an abutment K, Fig. 4, and the piece C to be welded thereto is secured by bolts in a clamp O, current being supplied by a generator 3.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Dyeing Yarns and the like.
Inventor: CORRON CESAR
Filed: 1908-10-30
Granted: 1909-11-01
Abstract: 23,171. Corron, C. Oct. 30. Dyeing.-Yarn-hanks are dyed in a machine provided with: (1) a belt-shifting mechanism, automatically operated from the main shaft which rotates the reels, and gives them alternate and unequal movements of rotation ; and (2) hydraulic means for raising any one reel, or group of reels, of the series, raising and lowering being accompanied with automatic uncoupling and coupling, respectively, of the particular reel or reels with the rotating - means. The hank - reels 4 are rotated eccentrically by bevel-gears 9, 9<1> of which each horizontal pinion is connected through an attached parallel disk 40 with a worm-wheel 7, 8 driven by a worm 6 on the main shaft 5. The connexion is made through a spring-catch attached to the wormwheel and engaging in a recess in the disk 40, and is broken when pressure fluid is admitted through a pipe 37 into the hydraulic ram cylinder 3 to raise the latter and its attached reel and bevel-gear. The cylinders 3, 3<111>, &c., arranged in two parallel rows between the dye vats 1, 2, are traversed by fixed columns 35, 35<111>, &c. of which the lower parts form pistons while the upper parts 36, 36<111>, &c., of smaller diameter, are hollow and operate to introduce or evacuate the pressure fluid under the control of three - way cocks 38, connected also with an outlet-pipe 39. The main-shaft 5 is provided with worms 6 of alternate right and left handed pitch, to avoid entanglement of the threads of neighbouring skeins on the reels, and the automatic reversal of its direction of rotation is obtained by the use of straight and crossed belts 14, 15 and fast and loose pulleys 11, 12,13, under the control of a shifting device 34, actuated as follows. A worm-wheel 17, in gear with a worm 16 on the end of the main shaft 5, and two unequal pinions 19, 20, run loose on a short shaft 18. A small shaft 27 below carries a keyed two-armed lever 28, and two pinions 25, 26 which gear respectively with the loose pinions 19, 20 of which, first one or then the other, is driven by a pawl attached to the corresponding face of the worm-wheel 17. Thus, one pawl 23 engages with a ratchet-wheel 21 attached to the inner face of the pinion 19, causing the lever 28 to rotate until it has lifted a counterweight 29 to a vertical position, so that it falls over and moves a lever 30 and, through links 31, 32, a #-lever 33 which shifts the device 34. In a modification six reels are supported on one hydraulic support, three on either side over each vat, the central one of each set being carried by one shaft driven by detachable worm and bevel gear and the others being carried by two shafts, one on either side of the first, and each carrying a pinion which gears with a pinion on the central shaft. In this case the cylinder is the fixed part of the hydraulic press.

Abstract: 8166. Leer, C. E. April 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Racks and the like.-Relates to files of the kind wherein the papers are held by clips on plates which are hinged together in the form of a book. The plates A are hinged on a rod E by means of pairs of strap-hinges D, the hinges being of successively increasing length from the inner to the outer plates. To prevent the plates from crawling or sliding over each other and thus mutilating the papers, the hinges D, Fig. 6, of the two outer plates are L-shaped, and the longer limbs are arranged to abut on the inner edges of the plates. The plates A each consist of a metal sheet provided on both sides with ribs a, partitions B, and spring-clips C, which are made from wire coiled at the bottom and secured by inserting the ends in the parts a, B. The file may be given the appearance of a book by attaching covers to the outer plates A or by providing separate covers. The file is particularly of use in dealing with papers such as checks or clinical records, which require to be changed daily.

Title: Improvements in Combined Variable Speed Gear and Coaster Brake Hubs for Cycles.
Inventor: SAUNDERS MONTAGU
IPC: B62M11/16
Filed: 1908-06-29
Granted: 1909-06-29
Abstract: 10,712. Saunders, M. June 29. Back-pedalling brake and free-wheel arrangements.-In a back-pedalling brake mechanism for use with cycle-hub variable-speed gears wherein the planet-pinion studs are fixed upon the sprocket-wheel sleeve, a device attached to the ends of the studs on backward rotation turns a member, which connects the sprocket sleeve with the brake-operating gear, and disconnects the hub shell from the driving-gear. A ring C or the equivalent, attached to the studs B, has inclined teeth in engagement with corresponding parts upon a sliding sleeve E, so that, on back-pedalling, the sleeve is moved to the right to rotate a brake-operating member K, and, at the same time, a bevelled ring G, carried by the sleeve, is brought under the tails of the driving-pawls I to disconnect the hub-shell from the driving-sleeve. The inclined teeth have straight or stop portions for effecting rotation. As shown, the variable-speed gear is of the kind employing interengaging planet - pinions, two controllable sun-wheels, and a single internallytoothed wheel. In the Provisional Specification, a construction of the mechanism is described wherein the sliding sleeve, on back-pedalling, is pressed inwards by a spring to engage the brake-operating member and to disconnect the hub shell, the ring upon the planet-pinion studs being arranged to force the sleeve into its extreme outer or right-hand position during forward driving. Specification 28,361/07 is referred to.

Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 20,246. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Sept. 3. Motors, controlling.-In reversing simultaneously two or more motors connected in parallel for braking, the fields are short-circuited, and reverse connexions are then effectively established between each field and its armature. The motor armatures 1, 2, &c. are shown with series fields 5, 6, &c. connected to a controller with contact segments 9, 10 arranged in cross-connected groups. Fingers 11, 12 make contact with the segments 9, 12 along the lines F, F for forward driving, and along the lines R, R for reverse driving. The middle lines F, R may coincide to keep the angular movement of the switch small. As the controller is moved from one position to the other, the fingers 12 bridge the spaces between the segments 9, 10 and so shortcircuit the fields ; further movement interrupts the original connexions.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Twist Lace Curtain Machines.

Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 21,361. Stevens, A. Sept. 18. Lace machines.-The manufacture of swiss and combination effects on curtain machines provided with two spool bars B, C and a warp bar A is simplified by abolishing the use of a half-lift jacquard to obtain the intermediate positions of the jacks D. Only the extreme positions shown are employed, but the threads of the different guide-bars are independently selected by causing the jacks to intercept twice on each motion, and shogging the bars after each interception. Thus, in the formation of four gait swiss and combination work, the bars A, B, C are first shogged, then the jacks which control the threads B<1> move in and the bar B is again shogged; finally the'jacks that control the threads C<1> are selected and the bar C is shogged. The jacquard and thread-guide cams are suitably modified.
