Title: Improvements in Automatic Weft Replenishing or Filling Supply Mechanism for Looms for Weaving
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1906-02-19
Granted: 1906-12-06
Abstract: 4020. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Feb. 19. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In a four-shuttle change-box loom, a bobbin magazine having four compartments 14, 14', 15, 15', containing bobbins with wefts corresponding to the wefts in the shuttles, is pivotally mounted on a stud 9 carried by a stand secured to the loom arch and to the frame at the end of the breast beam. The magazine comprises the usual end plates provided with guideways for the heads and tips of the bobbins, the guideways of the inner compartments 15, 15' being bent outwards as shown. The heads and tips of the lowest bobbins in the compartments are retained by blade springs. The magazine is oscillated in unison with the movements of the change - box by suitable link-work, so that the terminal of the compartment containing weft - bobbins corresponding to that in the active shuttle is always under the transferrer 22, which is mounted on the usual pivoted arm 23 and is actuated to transfer a fresh bobbin to the shuttle in the stationary box 6 in the usual manner. When the terminal of an inner compartment is under the transferrer, the latter is directly above the lowest bobbin in the compartment, and when the magazine is rocked to bring the terminal of one of the outer compartments under the transferrer, the latter pushes upwards all the bobbins except the lowest in the adjacent inner compartment, so that it is free to transfer the lowest bobbin in the outer compartment into the shuttle. A pin on an arm 23<1> attached to the transferrer arm 23 is engaged by a slot 32<1> in a rod 32, which is raised slightly once for every two beats-up of the lay by a cam-actuated lever, in order that the transferrer 22 may be raised by the action of the ordinary spring 25 to allow the displaced bobbins in the inner compartments to return to their normal positions.

Title: Valve-gear
Inventor: IVERSEN JACOB
Filed: 1906-03-16
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 6321. Iversen, J. March 16. Valve-gear.-The gear provides for the gradual increase of the admission of steam as the reversing- lever moves away from its central position up to a certain point, and then a gradual diminution from this point till the lever reaches its extreme position. Fig. 1 shows the gear applied to flat slide valves and Fig. 3 to beat valves. A slotted link 17 pivoted at its centre is rocked through a link 21 by a rod 8, one end of which works in a closed curve 7 while the other is guided in the arc of a circle by a radius bar 11 attached to the reversing-lever 13 ; the valve-rod 24<a> is also attached to the reversing- lever and carries a slide block working in the slotted link. In Fig. 1 is shown a cut-off valve 27 used in conjunction with a ported slide 26, the valve 27 being driven from the cross-head 3. The apparatus is constructed so that the valve 26 must move to some extent from its central position before there is any admission, and after a certain point the admission decreases as the stroke of the valve increases. The valve-rod 24<a>, Fig. 3, works two levers 36 which lift spring beat valves. The valves are released by tripping-pieces 43 worked by the same eccentric 32 as drives the link-motion.

Title: Improved Process for Producing a Constant Mixture of Gas and Air and Apparatus therefor.
Filed: 1906-10-03
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 21,847. Akt.-Ges. f³r Selas-Beleuchtung. Oct. 7, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901.] Mixing gases.-In apparatus for producing a mixture of gas and air in which the supply of gas and air is regulated by a governor controlled by the pressure in the service pipe, the proportions of the supply openings vary with their total size, the resistance to the passage of different gases not being proportional to the size of the openings. One form of apparatus is shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The gas, reduced to uniform pressure by an ordinary pressure regulator, and the air enter a cylindrical casing 4 by the openings 6, 7, and the mixture is drawn out through the opening 8 by a rotary pump 1 and delivered to the service pipe 3. In the casing 4 is a liner 22 within which fits a cylinder 17 with openings 18, 19, 23 corresponding to openings 20, 21, 24 in the liner and the passages 6, 7, 8. The cylinder 17 is connected in such a manner that it can turn to a rod 16, by which it is attached to a gas governor consisting of a membrane 14 and plate 15, so that, on the pressure in the mixing- chamber rising owing to diminished consumption, the cylinder 17 falls and partly closes the openings 20, 21. At the same time it is caused to turn by means of an inclined rod 26, adjustably fixed to the casing 4 and passing between projections 31 on the cylinder 17, so that the proportions of the air and gas inlets are altered. The opening 23 is of such size that the outlet for the mixture is unaltered. The rod 26 may be replaced by a screw attached to the cover of the cylinder 4. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the gas and air inlets are controlled by a disk 37 turning on a pin 36 operated by a gas bell 47 connected with the mixing-chamber by a pipe 52. Openings 34, 35 in the disk co-operate with openings in the partitions behind. The openings are all bounded at the sides by lines through the pivot 36. The opening 35 is bounded by circles with the pivot 36 as centre, but the opening 34 is bounded by an eccentric curve 34<1>. For the disk 37 a sliding piece with straight slots with inclined ends may be substituted. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the gas and air are supplied through cocks 56, 57 operated by the bell 53 by means of the rods 54, 55. The rod 55 operates the cock 57 through a lever 67, in which is a slot 66 with which the end of the rod 55 engages, and along which it is pushed as the bell rises by a cam piece 61 engaging with a roller 63. The inclination of the rod 26 and the shapes of the curves 34<1>, 61 may be found empirically or specially calculated for the particular apparatus.

The steelyard arm is overweighted and balanced by a spring, so that throughout the test the steelyard is in equilibrium. The longer arm B, Fig. 1, has the knifeedge B<1> supported by a spring H fitted on two cylindrical ends H<3>, H<4>, Fig. 5, in which are centrally screwed eyebolts H<5>, H<6>, which allow adjustment and ensure true axial working of the spring. A connexion J from the lower attaching-shackle B<2> supports a carrier K for the pencil K<1>, the diagram drum L being driven by a flexible connexion M arranged, as shown in Fig. 1, for a tension test. The eye-bolts H<5>, H<6> are removably attached by means of pins H', H<2> to shackles B<2>, G<2> as shown. An arm P, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, prevents variation in the length of the connexion M due to play between the standards A<1>, G. The balancing-spring and diagram device may be at opposite ends of the machine, or both may be arranged at the end of the short arm ; or the balancing-spring may have a flexible connexion adapted to rotate the diagram drum, the pencil being travelled by the connexion M. Fig. 7 shows the application of the device to a torsion test, the flexible connexion M being wrapped round the cylindrical mounting M<2> of the specimen, or round the specimen itself if circular. For obtaining a " polar" diagram, the chart is carried on the axis of the specimen, and a longitudinally-moving rod carrying the pencil has a light returning-spring and is operated by a flexible connexion to the end of the steelyard. Reducing - gear may be employed for altering the scale of the diagram.
