Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 9418. Richardson, G. T. April 18. Draught and weather excluders; pivoted sliding windows. - Swinging doors and casement windows are secured in a weather-tight manner in the closed position by a pair of L-shaped bars extending along the top, bottom, and opening side of the door or casement, mounted on either the door &c. or its frame and simultaneously extensible or retractable within a channel formed in the door frame or door respectively. In the arrangement shown in Figs. I and 2, the two L-shaped bars d, attached by links h to the casement window m, are connected together by a finger f on one bar engaging behind a pin g on the other bar, so that both bars are moved simultaneously by a pin and knob b on one bar working in an oblique slot e in the casement m. The links h may be replaced by pin-and-slot connexions. The invention may be applied to sliding window-sashes pivoted to sliding stiles, the L-shaped bars locking the sash to the sliding stiles and being connected together along the top rail of the sash and operated as described above; or each L-shaped bar may be independently operated by a knob k as shown in Fig. 6.

Abstract: 10,226. Waddington, B. C. April 27. Fencing and like appliances. - Relates to dummy rifles, lances, &c. for exercising. As applied to a rifle, the bayonet a slides in the rifle barrel against the action of a helical spring. An extension g of the bayonet is adapted to force bolts or frames h upwards against springs l, and, on withdrawal, to cause ratchets m to rotate to indicate on dials the force of the blow. The frame carrying the indicating-appliances may be locked and adapted to be removed for examination. The safety button c may be made hollow to hold a sponge saturated with fluid to leave a mark where a blow has been made. The Provisional Specification also states that, instead of using dials, the ends of the bolts may be pointed so as to prick an indicating card.

Patent GB-191217746-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Thread Severing Mechanism for Automatic Looms.
Inventor: KOECHLIN ALBERT GEORG
IPC: D03D49/70
Filed: 1912-07-31
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 17,746. Koechlin, A. G. July 31. Weft, cutting.-The weft ends from the spent and fresh bobbins are cut, after automatic weftreplenishment has occurred, by a slidable cutter b, the movable blade of which is controlled by a spring d and a guide c. The carrier slide e for the cutter is normally held in a rear position against the action of a spring h (the cutter blades being closed) by the engagement of a pawl lever i pivoted and slidable on a pin i<1> with a tooth f on the carrier, but, when the shaft m of the replenishing-mechanism is turned, the pawl lever is first rotated to free the slide e by lever mechanism k, j and then moved bodily on the pivot i. The slide e is then moved to the right by the spring h, and the cutter blades are opened. When the lay next advances, the reed strikes the carrier and returns it to the right, thus opening the blades, and, when the lay moves back again, the carrier is again moved to the right by the spring, the blades closing and cutting the beaten-up weftend from the ejected bobbin. When the shaft m is turned, a shuttle feeler o, Fig. 5, is also rocked towards the lay, and the weft-end enters a notch o<1> wherein a knife p is situated. The lay engages an arm r and actuates a fork q, which moves the weft-end into engagement with the knife, whereby it is cut, the limb of the fork adjacent to the cutter b at the same time clamping the weft-end, whereby the subsequent cutting of the end by the cutter near the selvedge is facilitated. The shaft m, Fig. 2, then returns to normal position, but, owing to the slot j<1> in the link j, the lever i is not immediately returned to its normal position, so that, when next the slide e is moved to the left by the advancing lay and the cutter blades are opened, the tooth f is not engaged by the pawl lever i. When, therefore, the lay again moves rearwards, the slide e again moves to the right and the cutter blades close and cut the fresh weft-end, which has also at this time been beaten up, a supplementary tooth g on the slide engaging the lever i and moving it on its pivot i<1>, so that, when next the slide e is moved to the left by the lay, the lever i can engage the tooth f and retain the slide in its normal position.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Folding the Bottoms of Paper Bags.
Inventor: HOLWEG CHARLES
IPC: B31B29/00
Filed: 1913-06-24
Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 14,594. Holweg, C. June 24. Paper bags, making. - Relates to apparatus for forming the diamond folds at the ends of tubes in making square-bottomed paper bags, and consists in forming the folds while the tube is moving by means of folders that travel at a speed slightly less or greater than the speed of the tube. The tubes z are fed into the apparatus by feed-rollers a, and are gripped between an endless band c and slats f which are attached to chains d. These chains pass around pulleys n, which are fixed to and rotated by a shaft p so that the tubes are carried in a circular path around the shaft p. The folders consist of wires g radiating from a hub h, which is freely mounted on the shaft p between the pulleys n. The rotation of the hub h is so arranged that the speed of the bent end of the folders is less than that of the tubes. Thus the folders g engage the ends of the tubes and open them out into diamond folds, the slats fixing the limits of the folds. In a modification, the slats are attached to spring-mounted arms or spokes which replace the pulleys n.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Doffing Mechanism for Spinning Frames.
Inventor: NEWSHOLME NORMAN ROBERT
IPC: D01H9/04
Filed: 1913-05-08
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 19,737. Newsholme, N. R. May 8. Doffing-arrangements; spindle apparatus.-Cap frames are provided with doffing-apparatus comprising motions and mechanisms similar to those employed in the apparatus for flyer frames described in Specification 7952/11. A rail F, capable of being reciprocated horizontally, carries hinged tin-boards O, which, during doffing, serve to support the caps and may also support the bobbins, pegs P, which enter the bores of the caps and bobbins, and a hinged tray T, which supports the bobbins. When the tin-board supports the bobbins, the tray T is arranged to support the caps at their upper ends as shown in Fig. 11. The spindle and lifter rails are lowered, after the bobbins are filled, until the caps are below the level of the bottoms of the pegs P, and the rail F is advanced, the tin-boards being tilted by a catch O<2> and the trays withheld by a catch, as described iu the above-mentioned Specification. The lifter rail is then raised and releases the catches, so that the tin-board and tray swing forward and, with the pegs P, support the caps and bobbins, as shown in Fig. 7. A ledge J on the tin-board supports the caps, which are provided with flanges C<1> or indentations for this purpose. The lifter rail is lowered, and the rail F is further advanced until a stop on a rail P' withdraws the tray from beneath the bobbins and causes it to be engaged by its retaining-catch, so that the full bobbins fall on to pegs. The empty-bobbin peg rail P<2> is raised and a projection thereon releases the tray when the rail F is disposed thereover, so that the empty bobbins are supported within the cap. The tray and tin-board are again released when the bar F is retracted to a position above the spindles, the empty bobbins and caps being received on the spindles in readiness for the re-start. A notched bar B is carried by the rail P<2>, by which it is moved through the positions 1, 2, 3, Fig. 10, to insert the yarn in a notch in the wharl so that it will be severed upon re-starting. A sliding cutter may be mounted along the edge of the bar B. To prevent the full bobbins from rotating, catch points may engage the yarn, or pegs or studs may be arranged to engage the holes in their bases.
