Title: Improvements in Thread Winding Frames.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1903-09-12
Granted: 1904-07-21
Abstract: 19,702. Thompson, W. P., [Wegmann & Co.]. Sept. 12. Winding-machines; stop-motions.- Relates to a cross-winding frame in which separate measuring- apparatus and tension-adjusting devices are used for each thread. The thread from the spool 48, Fig. 1, passes over a recess in the arm 46, Figs. 1 and 5, and between fixed pins 45 thereon and pins 44 on the pivoted arm 43, thence through the eyelet 57, round the measuring-wheel 51, through the eyelet 58 on the brake block 60, which is revolvably mounted on a sliding block 59, round the guide-pins 38, Fig. 4, over the plate 37 fixed to an arm 31 connecting the arms 32, 33 on the tube 29, through a recess in the thread guide to the spool spindle 4. The thread guide, which is attached to a hollow tube 28, is traversed along a longitudinal slot in the tube 29, by a spring rod 26, lever mechanism 25, 23, 21 and a cam 15, driven by toothed and belt gearing 14, 18, 19, &c. from a pulley 11 adjustably fixed in a pulley keyed to the shaft 8. As the spool fills, the arm carrying the thread guide is pressed outwards, the tube 30 is turned against the action of the spring-pressed pin 35 pressing against the table plate 2 and carried by the arm 32, and, by means of lever mechanism, the rod 40 is depressed, the lever 43 rocked, the pins thereon moving upwards between the fixed pins 45, the otherwise taut thread being slackened so that the thread can be wound round faster in accordance with the increasing diameter of the spool. The wheels 51, by worm gearing, turns the graduated wheels 53 which indicate the length of thread wound, and, when winding is completed, arms 54 on the latter acting through lever mechanism 55, 56 uncouple the spool shafts 4 and shafts 5, the latter being driven by worm gearing from the shaft 8. Winding is thus stopped. When a thread breaks, the brake block 60 falls into the groove of the wheel 51, stops the latter, and prevents mistakes in the measuring-apparatus. After the finished spool has been removed, the thread guide is brought against the spool spindle 4 by turning the adjusting-device 31-35. The length of traverse of the thread guide is varied by altering the position in the slot 24 of the pin on the link 21. The pulley 17 is carried on a lever 13 adjustably fixed in position by a screw 16. The springs 34 are adjusted in tension, and the pressures of the thread guides on the spools regulated, by means of nuts.

Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 4321. Allman, W., and Watson, J. H. Feb. 22. Door-closing apparatus; door checks.-To save space, the working parts are attached to the door &c., and a shallow spindle-box is fixed in the floor. A frame, attached to the lower part of the door, contains an air barrel 11, in which works a plunger 12 on a rod 13 governed by a spring 14. At one end of the frame is carried the operating-spindle 17, the upper end of which is furnished with two studs 18, against which the lug 19 upon the end of the rod 13 presses. The other end 20 of the spindle 17 is made square or some such shape, and fits into a corresponding hole 21 formed in the holder in the floor. The holder 30 of the square end of the spindle is capable of rotation in the bearing 31, and is provided with an arm with a shaped end 35 which rests on a fixed screw 32, having two nuts 33, 34 thereon. By this means, should the door, when hung, not lie fairly with its jamb, the arm 30 may be slightly adjusted to one side or the other to bring the door to its desired position. The sectional plan, Fig. 2, shows the casing 11 arranged to hold oil ; a pipe 22 forms a communication between the forward and the rear part of the casing. The valve 25 allows more or less play of the plunger 12, so that in its return movement, under the action of the spring 14, the rod 13 presses against the plunger, but in the reverse movement, the plunger lies against the valve, and openings allow ready passage of oil or air. The oil or pneumatic arrangement may, if desired, be dispensed with, leaving the action of the spring 14 to govern the rod 13, which would then be provided with a sliding collar to move in fixed bearings at each end of the spring.

Title: Improvements in Water Heaters.
Inventor: MCCARTNEY JAMES
Filed: 1904-08-09
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 17,373. McCartney, J. Aug. 9. Wa t e r - heaters, gas &c.-Auxiliary conical vessels are used in connection with water-heating apparatus, and are placed either directly over the heating-means, or so as to utilize the waste gases. In the form shown in Fig. 1, water enters by a pipe 6 into an annular tank, and passes from the bottom of this through a tube 7 into a conical vessel 8 heated by burner 9 surrounding the tube. Thence it rises by a pipe in the central flue 4 and passes out by the pipe 11 into the service system ; the pipe 11 may also communicate directly with the top of the tank. The construction shown in Fig. 4 is similar, but in this case the exit pipe 46 is at the top of the tank, and the pipe which leads from the conical vessel 43 heated by the burner passes into the tank. In this case also, the combustion p r o - ducts pass round outside the tank, which may sometimes be enclosed in a loose casing. Fig. 2 shows a form of heater consisting of a series of connected conical vessels with an exit pipe 10 leading to the service system. These vessels have flat bases and hollow stays 19. The vessels may also be cones with parallel walls, having a central aperture. In the burner, a convex annular spreader 47 directs the mixture of gas and air formed in the chamber 17. In order that the burner may be readily removed, and an ordinary grate substituted therefor, as shown in Fig. 6, it is provided with a central aperture larger than the tube 7, and with a radial passage running therefrom to the periphery just wide enough to allow the passage of the tube. A sleeve 50 rests on a coupling on the tube, and has an annular flange, so that the burner may be slipped into a position resting on this flange, the sleeve 50 filling the central aperture in the burner. Or the tube 7 may be suitably enlarged or cut away at some part, for the same purpose. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the feedwater is heated in the conical vessel 36 by the waste gases, and, after passing into the tank, is led by the tube 27 placed immediately over the burner into the conical vessel 23, which is provided with a central aperture. Thence it rises through the vessel 24 and tube 32, and either directly into the exit pipe 34 or through the cross-tube 31 into the tank and thence into the exit pipe.

Granted: 1905-10-24
Abstract: 22,860. Rode, H. Oct. 24. Measured quantities, delivering.-An apparatus for measuring and registering the delivery of liquid comprises a plug cock and two measuring- vessels. The plug K of the cock is double-ended ; the lower end controls the flow of liquid into and out of the measuring-vessels S, T from a store tank through the pipe m, and the upper end puts the vessels in communication in turn with the atmosphere and with the tank. Each end of the plug is formed with two right-angled passages A, D, C, B, Fig. 3, one being deflected upwards and the other downwards so that the two clear each other at the centre. In operation, the plug is turned so that liquid enters and fills one of the measuring- vessels, say S, though overfilling is prevented by means of the upper end of the passage A, D and the pipe V. The plug is then reversed so as to bring the parts of the passage A, D in register with the pipe V and the discharge pipe g, respectively, thus discharging the vessel S. Simultaneously, the vessel S is put into communication with the at nosphere through the pipe s and a similar right angled passage in the upper plug. A counting-apparatus attached to the plug shows the quantity of liquid discharged.
