Patent GB-190826096-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means of and Apparatus for Producing a Recoil in the Take-up Motion of Looms.
Inventor: PICKLES NORMAN
Filed: 1909-06-03
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 26,096. Pickles, N. June 3, 1909. Loom take-up motions.-In mechanism of the type wherein the retaining-catch of the take-up motion is held out of action while the first few picks are being woven after the weft has broken and the loom has been re-started, a lever F, Fig. 1, fixed to the catch rod D and working independently of the weft-fork slide lever, is struck by the weaver when starting the loom, thereby raising an arm G provided with a slotted extension to which a catch H is adjustably bolted. The catch H is thereby disengaged from the teeth of a disk J which is weighted or massed on one side, an actuating catch M being also momentarily raised from these teeth, su that the disk turns by gravity to the position shown. The catches H,M then fall into engagement with the disk, but the catch H is held sufficiently elevated and the catch rod D is turned sufficiently to raise the retaining-catch Y, Fig. 2, from the take-up ratchet-wheel at the opposite side of the bar. The catch M, Fig. 1, however, turns the disk J tooth by tooth, until it reaches the swell portion P, when no further movement is possible and the catch H falls into a notch or recess Q, allowing the retaining-catch to fall into engagement with the take-up ratchet-wheel, which occurs after the required number of picks have been woven. A stop-piece R, cast with the disk J and working in a slot R<1> in a bracket L, limits the forward movement of the disk, and the return movement is limited by the weighted portion of the disk striking against a stud T, adjustable in a slot S in the bracket L, so that the number of teeth taken up by the catch M may be varied. The retaining-catch Y, Fig. 2, may be employed in conjunction with an adjustable slip catch W<1> sliding in a troughshaped slotted casting W, which is fixed to the stud U that carries the take-up lever V. When the take-up catch Z is raised, the ratchet-wheel Z<1> is immediately let back until a tongue X on the catch W<1> comes under the fore part of the casting W. A slot X<1> on the casting W enables the slip catch to let back an extra tooth when required.

Title: Flying Machines.
Inventor: STURGESS GEORGE
Filed: 1908-12-11
Granted: 1910-03-11
Abstract: 26,924. Sturgess, G., and Sturgess, C. Dec. 11. Aerial machines without aerostats; adapted to travel also on land.-Relates to an arrangement whereby aerial machines are adapted to travel also on roads, which is shown as applied to existing machines and also to a machine with shortened transverse planes provided with additional supporting-surfaces carried by the road wheels ; these supporting-surfaces are capable of being tilted or warped, or the structure may be rotated so that the planes beat the air, steering being effected by a vertical rudder or by varying the plane of action of the screw propellers. As applied to a bi-plane of the Wright type, Fig. 1, the device comprises one or two tyred wheels A<1>, which encircle the main planes A of the machine and run on rollers B carried by the framework. Shock of landing, deadening.- When one road wheel only is used, the skates C are kept off the ground by runners D carried by pivoted rods D', depressed through the medium of compression springs D<7>, which serve to absorb the shock of landing. Aeroplanes.-In order that the width of the machine may be diminished, additional planes are carried between two wheels which can roll on the road. The main planes K, upon the lower one of which the aviator sits, are fixed between two disks J supported on a divided hollow shaft F, Fig. 6. Around the disks J are two floating wings M running on rollers M'. Mounted free in the rings M are spindles N<2> of additional planes N, which may be divided at N<1>. The planes are normally all horizontal, being kept so by an endless chain H<2>, which passes over chain-wheels H<1> on the axes N<2> and over a chain-wheel H on the central axis F<8>. The planes may rotate round the central axis in either direction in response to wind currents. Steering is effected (1) by tilting or warping the planes N, (2) by means of a vertical rudder operated by a foot-lever, (3) by altering the plane of action of the screw propellers. (1) The planes N may be tilted or warped by means of the chain H<2>. The chain-wheels H, H<1> are rotated through bevel-gearing when the hand-wheel F<3>, Fig. 6, is pushed or pulled, and the planes N are therefore tilted equally. By turning the hand-wheel F<3>, the shafts N<2> carrying the planes N, and consequently the planes, are twisted. (2) The vertical rudder Q and a rest-wheel Q<2> are turned by ropes Q<3> passing over pulleys Q<4>, Q<5> and through the hollow shafts F<5>, F<8> to a foot-lever Q<6>, Fig. 3. (3) The screw propellers 0, driven by engines O<4> through bevel-gearing partly carried by the shaft F, are mounted on shafts O<0> in a bearing O<5> pivoted on the shaft F. By means of a worm O<7> and wormwheel O<6> operated by a hand-wheel O<9> the bearing and propeller can be turned about the shaft F. Propelling.-The screw propellers may be supplemented by driving the rings M by any suitable means so that the planes N paddle or beat the air.

Recording by distinctive marks; roller-andsheet apparatus.-In speed-recording apparatus of the time-distance type the recording-point is operated pneumatically from a piston reciprocated by a cam on the vehicle wheel. The record sheet is drawn from a slotted holder 26, Fig. 2, past a tensioning-bar 27 and round a drum 29 rotated by internal clock-work. The recording-point 62, Fig. 6, is pressed against the paper by a spring 63, and is carried by a frame 55, 56 sliding by ball bearings in a slotted plate 58, the frame being connected to a lever 49 reciprocated by a grooved cam 45 rotated by a worm on the shaft 32, which is revolved by the escapement device shown in Fig. 3, having a part 38 moving with the pneumatically-operated piston 44. The worm 32 can be changed for different-sized vehicle wheels. In a modification, the recording-point is reciprocated by a heart cam and the worm shaft is rotated by a lever, pawl, and ratchet mechanism from the piston.

Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 21,363. Prescott Patent Ticket Punch, and Prescott, G. Sept. 18. Ticket punches. - A punch having the usual bell, operation-register, feeling-piece, and receptacle for the punchedout portions, is provided with a thumb-lever mechanism for operating the punch, and with a simple full - stroke arrangement. The spring- controlled thumb-lever e is pivoted in the lower part of the frame and has a cam-portion j adapted to give a trigger action with a vertical slide f, which operates the punch in the head of the instrument, and is subject to the returning action of the punch spring and also a plate spring k, which tends to force the slide towards the lever. If the lever is slightly depressed and then released, a projection p upon the slide engages a tooth upon the fixed member l and thereby prevents a return of the slide until it has been fully operated. At the limit of its movement, as shown in Fig. 3, the lower end of the slide slips downwards over the rounded portion of the cam, and is arrested in its lowest position by a stop m.

A layer c of the mixture (A) is placed upon this, the whole is rolled, and a second layer d of tarred road metal with the mixture (A) is laid down and rolled. The road is then surfaced by the application of a dry thin layer comprising a mixture of equal parts of the mixture (B) with fine sand. This layer is watered and brushed in, and one or more similar layers applied until the surfacing f is watertight, whereupon it is allowed to set and is rolled smooth. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also a portable machine for tarring and mixing the road material comprising a rotary chamber for drying, heating, and cleansing stone, and a rotary mixing- chamber into which the prepared stone is fed together with the binding - composition.
