Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Mechanically Introducing Pressing Boards or Glazed Sheets into the Folds of Textile Piece Goods and the like.
Inventor: TEMPEST CHARLES
Filed: 1907-01-14
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 968. Tempest, C., and Hardaker, J. T. Jan. 14. Feeding sheets.-Relates to a suction device for feeding pressing boards or glazed sheets between the folds of fabric for pressing and like purposes, and comprises means for lifting each sheet successively from the pile by light suction, holding the sheet as raised for an interval to enable a second sheet accidently lifted to drop back to the pile, and feeding the sheet forward between the folds of the fabric. The sheets are gripped by a cylinder 31, Figs. 1 and 3, at each end of the machine, each provided with a rubber washer, and mounted in a sliding carriage 34. Each cylinder is normally kept raised by a weak spring 33. In the apparatus shown, a pair of bell-crank levers pivoted at 40 comprises a long arm 41 and a short arm 42, which is adapted to bear at intervals against the head 44 of the piston 32. The arm 41 is operated against the action of a spring by a reciprocating roller 45, and at a given instant the piston is depressed by the short arm 42, air being expelled from the cylinder through the trip valve 37. When the piston is released, it is raised by a spring, and the cylinder also rises and lifts the top sheet from the pile. After an interval, a reciprocating roller 50 acts upon a pivoted lever 47, and so moves the carriage 34 and the cylinder 31 horizontally towards the advancing nippers 8, 9. The trip valve is then operated by a stop and the sheet is released. Instead of the arrangement described above, a vertically moving bar may be employed, which would depress the piston &c. as above and allow the vertical return movement, the sliding motion being effected by a connecting-rod or chain from some other part of the machine.
Patent GB-190701293-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Signalling Installations.
Filed: 1907-01-17
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 1293. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Alit.-Ges.]. Jan. 17. Order apparatus.-Relates to the transmission of orders in electric signalling-systems in which one or more transmitters can be connected through a central station with one or more receivers at distant stations. The Figure shows two transmitting stations G', G', one of which is connected by means of the switches s ... s' to the four receiving stations I ... IV. In the signalling-system shown, the armatures of the transmitter and receiver rotate in an alternating field, and are connected together so that when the one armature is moved, the other follows into the same relative position, but the invention is applicable to any other system. Each transmitter is provided with lamps or other indicators L corresponding to each of the distant receiving-stations, so that the actuation of these indicators shows the transmitting-operator whether he has been connected to the desired station. The circuit of this lamp passes from the generator W through the field coils of the transmitter, lamp L, switch s, righthand contact of the selected switch s<1> (say), bell or signal w, and back to the generator. The resistance of this circuit is normally too high to actuate the signal w, but by depressing the key T, the transmitting-operator can shunt the lamp L and operate the signal w. The central station is provided with a receiver C which indicates the signals transmitted, and also with tell-tale receivers 1 ... 4, corresponding with each distant receiver, and operated therefrom, thus enabling the central operator to observe whether the signals have been properly understood. The distant receivers may have separate tell-tale transmitters ; or the same armature may serve for receiving and transmitting. A separate receiver C may be provided for each transmitter G<1>, G<2>.

Title: Improvements in the Method of and Means for Producing Leno Fabrics.
Inventor: KING JOSEPH
Filed: 1907-03-12
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 5917. King, J. March 12. Loom shedding-motions; warp tension, regulating; jacquards.-Leno fabrics, which have a 'full cross' leno ground (i.e., one tread of plain alternating with one tread of full-cross leno) and a jacquard figure, are woven by a double-lift open-shed jacquard and various special tappets. One-third of the warp threads are drawn through the figuring- harness b<1>, Fig. 1, controlled by half the jacquard needles, and also through the doup f, coupled to a griff or other part of the jacquard which rises and falls at each alternate pick. The doup is caused to move through a greater distance than the harness b<1>, in order to keep the doup loops clear. The plain weave of the ground is formed by drawing one-third of the warp threads through a heald k which is actuated quickly by a six-tread tappet k<1>, Fig. 6, and by drawing another third of the warp threads through the healds c operated by half the jacquard needles. The healds c may be operated by a heald shaft d operated by lever mechanism and a plain two-tread tappet d<1>, half the jacquard needles and their griffs &c. being dispensed with. Moreover, only one top lever, crank e, and operating-rod e' are in this case required. The pattern cylinder may be operated from the tappetshaft at alternate picks. The tappet f<2>, which actuates the doup heald shaft f<1> through lever mechanism f<3>, f<4>, f<5>, is shaped so that the doup is retained in its raised position for a short time only. The slackener or bar g, which relieves the tension on the doup warps, is operated from a tappet g<1> and commences its movements when the warps are about level. Tension is put on the slackened threads by a bar which rests upon them and extends across the loom, being guided in slots in brackets secured to the framework.

Title: Means for Generating Direct Current of Limited Strength
Filed: 1907-10-29
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 23,880. Felten & Guilleaume - Lahmeyerwerke Akt.-Ges. Oct. 31, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, regulating.-Consists in a method of exciting continuous-current generators subject to short-circuits, such as those used for projector lamps, the object being to prevent the load current from becoming excessive. The Figure shows a shunt-wound machine in which the shunt coils f are fed by brushes b placed on the main field axis midway between the working brushes a. The current in the lamps l passes through an overcompensating coil c, which is arranged to impress on the brushes b an electromotive force which opposes the shunt excitation potential of the brushes a. Thus, as the load current increases, the counter-electromotive force in the shunt circuit due to the current reduces the excitation and automatically limits the load current to a predetermined value. The effect of the compensating-coil may be reduced by an additional shunt winding g, or the brushes a may be given a backward lead. Also a separate exciting-circuit d may be used to prevent the load current from falling below a predetermined value.
