Filed: 1905-10-31
Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 22,171. Lean, C., [Fehr, W.]. Oct. 31. Loom healds.-Heald frames are made of relatively broad top and bottom wooden or metal pieces a, b, Fig. 1, held parallel by end straps d, which consist of two members each deformed at the ends d' to form a half-loop and adjacent thereto, at d<2>, to form a half sleeve-like projection. The two members are secured together by rivets d', Fig. 8, which may also pass through the pieces a, b. The cross-rods f fit into the loops made by the parts d<2>, and are also connected by hooks f<1>, a bar f<2>, and hook-pins f<3> to the pieces a, b, or are hooked directly thereto. To lock each cross-rod against longitudinal movement, a wire hook h, swivelling in an eye d' formed by the defdrmed parts of the straps d, is arranged to enter a hole in the end of the cross-rod f, being bent twice at right-angles to prevent accidental dislodgment. The other end of the rod f has a screw-threaded end stem f<12> projecting through a loop d<2>, and is advanced or retracted by a nut and locking-nut. The two members of the strap may be reinforced by stiffening-pieces d<10>, and the side straps may be bent to form pockets for the cross-bars. The hooks f<1> slide loosely on the bars f, so that the healds g may be readily adjusted.

Title: Improved Means for Operating Railway and like Points and Switches from the Vehicles.
Inventor: FIELDS EMANUEL
Filed: 1905-12-18
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 26,386. Fields, E. Dec. 18. Points and switches, railway and the like, operating mechanically . from the vehicles. The switch tongue 14, adapted to move vertically, is raised or lowered by the shaped end of the lever 12, which engages in a recess cut in the lower surface of the tongue as shown in Fig. 5. The lever 12 is operated through the cranks 10, 8 and the links 15, 7 from either the projection 18 or the cam-surface 2. The projecting piece 18 works in the main rail 1 and is depressed by the wheels of the vehicle. The point tongue is held in its raised position by the arm 13 mounted on the crank 8. To return the tongue to its depressed position, the lever 21 on the car is lowered so as to slide on the cam-surface 2. The lever 5 is thereby forced forwards, the lever 12 withdrawn, and the arm 13 depressed. The projection 18 is again raised simultaneously with the resetting of the point tongue. A modification is shown in Fig. 6 in which the cranks and levers are replaced by a.sliding wedge 25 which operates the tongue. -

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Pneumatic Despatch Apparatus.
Inventor: VALLEY GUSTAF
Filed: 1906-01-30
Granted: 1907-04-30
Abstract: 2354. Valley, G. Jan. 30. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus.-Relates to that form of apparatus in which there is a continuous circuit entirely closed from the outer air but communicating with a pump, fan, or the like for putting the air in motion, and in which the carriers are introduced and discharged through special airtraps. Fig. 1 shows the manner in which the central station l is connected to outlying stations j, j<1>, m or to the pump c. The incoming pipe t at a station ends in a cap u, which is connected by a pipe v at one corner to the drumhead x of the outgoing pipe z. The arriving carrier falls into a chamber 12, Fig. 3, below the cap, and, to allow of removal, a valve 14 is applied to the opening 11 between them by a lever 13 which opens the door 15. The drumhead x is occupied by a turning cylinder r provided with ports 20, 17, 18 and containing a cross-tube s for the reception of the carrier, which is introduced through the opening 16. The tube s communicates with the interior of the cylinder r by openings y. An arm 2 on the cylinder completes the local circuit of an electromagnetic switch 5 for driving the electromotor w operating the pump. The switch 5 gravitates again to the breaking position under the control of an air dash-pot 4, time being thus given for the carrier to arrive at its destination.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Recording the Time during which any Machine is in Motion.
Inventor: GIBBS GEORGE JAMES
Filed: 1906-04-27
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 9874. Gibbs, G. J. April 27. Recording at a distance electrically ;registering number and time of working of machines.-In instruments for recording the time during which a machine is in motion, a diagram is made by a single marking-point showing the progress of time, the actual working time of the machine, and also the schedule of intended starting and stopping times of the machine. The record-drum C, Fig. 1, is mounted loosely on the spindle B operated by the clock A, and is carried round with the spindle by the friction due to the pressure of the two springs D<1>, D<2>. The pointer G shows the time on the graduated circle F attached to the drum, and by comparing this with the clock it is seen if the drum is set true. The pencil M is carried on an arm L of an electric indicator K, the terminals P<1>, P<2> of which are connected by wires Q<1>, Q<2> to a dynamo driven by the machine under observation. A uniform longitudinal movement is given to the indicator by a screwed spindle S driven through a chain X and chain-wheels V, W by the spindle B. In the circle F at points corresponding to the intended starting and stopping are notches such as H<1>, H<2>, which, when passing the finger G, engage with the latter and gives the drum an axial movement to and from the clock, causing a notch, as 2, iu the diagram. Straight parts of the spiral such as 1-2, 2-3, &c. show when the machine was not in motion, while stepped parts as 7-8, 10-11 show when the machine was in motion, the notches 2, 3, 8, 10, &c. showing when the machine should be started or stopped. The indicator K can be returned to its starting-poinb by disconnecting the chain-wheel Wand turning the screw S by the milled head Z. Fig. 4 shows an alternative arrangement. The spindle B is in this case square, and the drum C is moved axially by a worm 14 on it engaging with the toothed rack 15 pivoted to the clock at 17 and kept in gear with the worm by a spring 18. The indicator is in this case normally stationary, but the notches in the diagram are caused by a movement given to the indicator by the arm 20 pivoted to a lever 19, on the end of which is the finger G engaging with the circle F as above.

Abstract: 25,288. Moore, S. Bramley-. Nov. 9. Clutches.-Relates to cone clutches in which auxiliary springs are employed with the main springs in order to engage the clutch parts. An intermediate sleeve c is placed between the springs b, b<1> which bear, respectively, on one clutch part a and on a sleeve a<2> screwed into a piece a3 secured to the clutch part a<1>. When the sleeve c is moved towards the right by a lever engaging the collar z, the spring b<1> expands and removes the pressure from the clutch parts. The cones are positively disengaged when the collar z strikes a collar d<1> on a sleeve extension d of the cone a. The sleeve c may be formed in two parts, and may positively disengage the parts by striking an overhanging flange on the cone a. The cones may be moved inwards for disengagement, and the springs may be arranged between them. -The parts may be arranged so that the spring b, Fig. 7, bears on a collar x<1> on the driven shaft x, the sleeve c engaging the boss of the cone a for positive disengagement. The spring b may bear on an extension of the driving-shaft z, Fig. 6, the sleeve c bearing in a slot d<3> in the sleeve d of the cone a. In all constructions, the sleeve c may normally bear against the cone a, the spring b<1> being weaker than the spring b.

Reels and winches, rod. -Relates to the construction of casting-reels,the object being to produce reels with a very light drum of little inertia, suitable for casting light weights. As shown in Fig. 2, the outer flange of the reel is hollow, being made of two circular pieces of sheet aluminium &c. bent over at the edges and fitting together to form a shallow box. A distance-piece of wood, celluloid, &c. is inserted between the walls of the flange to provide a firm hold for the screws which connect the flange to the barrel, and for the handles. Other screws may pass through washers inserted between the walls of the flange. The spindles of the handles are secured to the flange by screwing them into the distance-piece and by screws inserted into them through the inner wall of the flange. In order to permit the use of very thin material for the walls of the flanges, this material may be corrugated. According to the Provisional Specification, the other flange may be constructed of a single saucer-shaped sheet of aluminium with a raised lip round the edge, this flange also being corrugated.
