Title: Improvements in Filling Replenishing Mechanism for Looms.
Filed: 1908-04-08
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 7761. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. April 8. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-The filling-carrier butts b<X>, Fig. 3, are supported in a channel formed by the circularly curved flanges 5, 6, Figs. 1 and 3, of a casting 1, the tips b<1> being supported by similar flanges 8, 9 on an upright plate 10 and segmental plate 11 respectively. The filling-carriers are fed forwardly and positively by a follower 22 on a spring-actuated arm 23, and are thus moved into position with the foremost one in contact with the usual abutment 7 of the magazine of Northrop looms, ready to be fed to the shuttle by the usual transferrer. To introduce the filling-carriers, the arm 23 is turned back to the position shown in dotted lines, a pawl 28 thereon then engaging behind a tooth 25x on a fixed hub. The pawl is subsequently released from the tooth by the operative. The filling ends t<x> pass between the edges 15, 16 of the plates 10,11, and over the notched periphery of a bell-like disk or guide, being finally secured to a headed stud. A ratchet-wheel 34, attached to the hub of this disk, is engaged by a pawl 35 on a carrier 36, which is secured to the follower 22 and has its upper end 37 inturned and extended through the filling-end passage or slot. The guide disk is therefore moved in unison with the follower.

Abstract: 3058. Parrott, E. D. Feb. 8. Aerial machines with aerostats aerostats; propelling ; steering. - The cigar - shaped rigid aerostat 5, Fig. 1, is divided into two parts 9, 10, separated by partitions from the central compartment 11 containing the motor and steering handles, and is steered by adjustable propellers, rudders, and planes. The operating- gear for adjusting the rudders and planes passes through tubes 14, extending the entire length of the aerostat sections 9, 10 and containing a core or shaft 15 formed in two sections connected at their inner ends by plates 17. The frame of the aerostat comprises circular ribs 6 connected by braces to collars on the shaft 15 and to one another by ties 19. The outer casing 5 is preferably of aluminium, and the ribs 6 are of T, V, or U section. The aerostats are connected by pipes to chambers 58, 59, Fig. 2. The chamber 58 comprises a casing 61 with a double wall in which is mounted a bell 63 which moves upwardly to increase the volume of the chamber when the gas in the aerostats expands. The chamber 59 is provided with a bell which rises to expel gas from the chamber when the gas in the aerostats contracts. Transverse shafts 36, Fig. 4, pass through the aerostats sections 9, 10 and carry curved aeroplanes 37 at each end. The shaft is turned to adjust the planes by worm gear 39, 40, which is operated by an endless cord 43 passing round a pulley on the worm shaft and over a pulley 44, Fig, 2, on the operating-shaft 45. Vertical rudders 48, Fig. 1, secured to a shaft 47, are mounted at the front and rear of the aerostat, and are operated by an endless cord 53 through worm gear.
