Title: Improvements in Shuttle Changing Mechanism for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D45/34
Filed: 1909-11-06
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 25,605. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Nov. 6. Shuttle - changing mechanism. - In shuttlechanging mechanism operated by the weaver, or automatically at predetermined intervals indicated by pattern mechanism, an upright swinging-lever 19, Figs. 1 and 4, is pivoted on the box lifter-rod 10 carrying the single shuttle box 9 at one end of the lay and carries a spare shuttle cell 16 and a cell 18 to receive the exhausted shuttle. The upper cell 18 has a tilted shuttle shelf or plate 18<1> pivoted on a stud 20, the longer end of the shelf extending inwards so that the shelf takes up the inclined position shown. After a spare shuttle 17 has been placed in the cell 16, the lever 19 is moved so as to bring the cells 16, 18 into vertical alinement with the box 9, and is temporarily locked in position to rise and fall therewith, as described in Specification 21,244/09. The weaver then moves a lever 44, Figs. 1 and 10, provided with a handle 44<a>, from its normal position, wherein a vertical projection 44<a1> rests in one of two recesses in a stand 47, to its operative position, wherein the vertical projection rests in the other recess. A lever or arm 42 connected by a pin 43 to the lever 44 and provided with a recess to receive a connector 41 is thereby moved into the path of, and is raised by, a cam 50. The lever 42 engages a collar 48 and raises the rod 41, and, by means of lever mechanism 38, 37, 28, moves a mutilated gear 22, splined to a sleeve carrying a crank-disk 23, into gear with a master gear 21. The crank-disk, which is thereby rotated, has a pin which operates a lever 29 connected by connexions 13<1>, 13 with the box rod 10. This rod 10 is first lowered to remove the cell 9 and place the cell 16 in line with the race-way, the inner end of the shelf 18<1> of the upper cell being then level with the race-way, so that the exhausted shuttle passes up this inclined shelf or switch 18<1> into the upper cell 18, the shelf being thereby moved to an horizontal position, so that the fresh shuttle may be subsequently picked from the cell 16, after which the box rod 10 is raised to bring the ordinary cell 9 into action, and a spring 53, engaging a stud or bolt 19<1> on the upright lever 19, moves back this lever, and the shuttle boxes thereon, to inoperative position. A side projection 50<1> of the cam 50 operates a finger 52 secured to the rod 42, and returns it, and also the lever 44, to inoperative position. A projection 44<b> on the lever 44 limits the downward movement of the arm 42. A pattern surface, passing round a cylinder 54, may be used. to operate a lever 56 and the connector 41.

Patent GB-191003077-A (GB)
Title: Bottle Filling Machines.
Inventor: STRASBURGER FRANK CHARLES HERR
IPC: B67C3/26
Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 3077. Strasburger, F. C. H. Sept. 3, 1909. Bottling. - Relates to a filling-nozzle and liquid valve for counterpressure machines of the type described in Specifications 20,210/09 and 3078/10. The bottle mouth is pressed up into the cone 78, which slides up the filling-tube 47 and raises a flange 54 on the lower end of a tube 52, which bears a spring valve 51 at its upper end. The flange 54 is pressed against a packing-ring 56, and the valve 51 is lifted off its seat, thus allowing compressed gas to enter the bottle by way of the tube 63, 62, and passages 58, 57, 80. The gas also passes upwards through passages 57', 73, tubes 72, 75 into a chamber 70 where it presses down a diaphragm 66 against the pressure of the gas in the tank 4, which reaches the lower face of the diaphragm 66 by a passage 77. The liquid-valve 64 is connected by a rod 65 with the diaphragm 66 and opens when the diaphragm is forced down. The counterpressure is preferably somewhat greater than the pressure in the liquid tank so as to compensate, in part, for the weight of the liquid in the filling-tube 47. When the bottle is filled and removed, the valve 51 is pressed down by its spring 59 and disengages the flange 54 from the ring 56, thus allowing the gas in the chamber 70 to escape at once through the tubes 75,72 and passages 73, 57<1>, 58, 52<1>. The tank pressure then lifts the diaphragm 66 and closes the liquid-valve 64.

Abstract: 9637. Alexanderson, E. F. W. April 26, 1909, [Convention date] Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Thrust and end-pressure bearings; supporting and mounting bearings.-In a bigh-frequency alternator, the main bearings 13, Figs. 3 and 4, have the usual self-alining pins 16, but the bushings 17 are ribbed to engage the correspondingly-shaped shaft and so take up end-thrust. They are made in two parts, with locking-screws 19, and are provided with oil holes throughout their length. The intermediate bearings 21, Figs. 3 and 5, only engage the shaft when it lashes at critical speeds and they also act as thrust bearings. The stationary thrust collar 23 may be adjusted axially by the screwed member 21 and bears against the washer 22, which rotates with the shaft and lock-nuts 12. An automatic correction of axial asymmetry of the inductor in the air gap follows, through the magnetic pull which follows from such asymmetry causing heat at one of the thrust collars 23 and expanding the shaft sufficiently to move the inductor back to the central position.

Abstract: 18,303. Tyer, E. Aug. 2. Tablet systems.-In tablet apparatus of the type described, for example, in Specification 1904/91, the tablets are stored in a cylindrical magazine m and are moved to bring them into position for the withdrawal or insertion of a tablet by the rotation of a screw-threaded spindle b geared to the commutator spindle a by a two-to-one gear a<1>, b'. The commutator spindle is normally locked, and is released as usual bv a local circuit after the receipt of a releasing-current from the distant end. A slide plate n has a hole which registers with the bore of the magazine when in the position shown. A turn of the spindle raises a tablet above the plate. When the plate is pushed in, it passes below the tablet, and at the same time closes over the remaining tablets in the magazine. A lug o<1> on the hinge of the lid o contacts with the plate n so that the lid cannot be opened except when the plate has been pushed in and the lug o<1> is in register with a slot in the plate n. When placing a tablet in the magazine, the plate n is pushed in, and the lid o raised and closed again over the tablet, which is placed on top of the plate n. The plate n is then pulled out, and the tablet pressed by a plunger o<2> down past an arm p<1>, Fig. 7, of a lever secured upon a vertical spindle p<2>. The movement of this lever raises a locking-pin p<4> into a hole in the plate n. The movement of the spindle p<2> releases a locking-pawl q from the screwed spindle b, and breaks the circuit to line at a spring switch. The commutator spindle must then be turned to lower the tablet into the magazine. When the pawl q again locks the screwed spindle, the spring switch re-makes the circuit to line, and the arm p moves to release the lock of the plate w.
