Granted: 1909-10-01
Abstract: 12,574. Shaw, H. S. Hele-. July 1, 1908. [Cognate Applications, 12,575/09, 12,576/09, and 12,577/09.] Revolving - cylinder pumps.- Relates to hydraulic pump or motor apparatus of the kind in which radial cylinders rotate around a stationary valve and the pistons working in the cylinders derive motion from an adjustable eccentric ring, and consists in a particular construction of such apparatus having the following features (1) the piston-rods are separate from the eccentric ring, (2) rollers or slippers are provided on the piston-rods to contact with the said ring, and (3) means are provided for regulating the resultant forces due to fluid pressure which tend to cause the cylinder body to bind upon the stationary valve. Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the apparatus. The cylinder body 7 rotates around the stationary valve 3, which is divided into two parts by a central diaphragm 4. The open ends of the cylinders 8 co-operate with the ports in the valve, and the pistons 10 contact with the adjustable eccentric ring 13 by means of pivoted slippers 11, Fig. 5. Fig. 2 shows another form of the apparatus adapted for use primarily as a motor. The pistons 10 carry rollers 16 contacting with a "floating" ring 13a, rollers 13<b> being interposed between this ring and the ring 13. In order to ensure the rollers or slippers always being held up to their work, rings 23 are provided to engage the piston heads. In order to prevent the slippers from gripping the ring, each piston 10 is provided with a smaller spring-loaded piston 26, the space behind which is filled with oil and communicates with the space between the slipper and the ring, so that, as the pressure in the system rises, the pressure of fluid behind the slipper tends to lift it from the ring. Deficiency of fluid behind the slipper is made up by admission through the non-return valve in the passage 35. To regulate the resultant forces acting between the cylinder body and the valve, suitable recesses 24, shown also in Fig. 3, are cut in the valve 3. These recesses are covered by overlapping portions of the cylinder body, and each recess communicates with the opposite pressure space in the valve 3 by means of passages 25.

Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 17,115. Colman, H. D., and Peterson, B. A. July 22, 1908, [Convention date]. Doffing-arrangements; bobbin-applying apparatus.-A doffing-mechanism comprises a carriage which is mounted on a rail at the front of a ring frame and carries a shaft, which, when actuated by a handle, operates mechanism which moves the carriage along the frame and retains it before each spindle in turn, removes the full bobbin therefrom, and places an emptv bobbin on the doffed spindle. Two tubes 48, 62 are mounted on the carriage and carry the full and empty bobbins respectively. The tube 48 is raised and lowered by a crank 44 and handle 43, and is provided with pivoted dogs 61 which are arranged to pass freely over the bobbin when the tube descends, but which grip the restricted lower portion of the bobbin when the tube ascends and remove it from the spindle. The tube 62 is provided with a pivoted dog 64, Fig. 7, which is engaged by a projection 71 attached to a bracket 72 operated by the crank, so that on the upward stroke a full bobbin drops on to the bottom tooth 66, and on the downward stroke drops on to the spindle. A spring-pressed plunger 76 is attached to the bracket 72 and presses home a bobbin which has been placed on a preceding spindle. The handle 43 also actuates a vertical shaft carrying three cams 89, 94, 103, Fig. 4, which operate dogs 86, 98 serving to move the carriage from spindle to spindle and to lock it in each successive position. The dog 98 is operated by the cam 103 to grip the bolster of a spindle, and the cam 89 operates the dog 86 so that it grips the bolster of the succeeding spindle. When the dog 98 is retracted, the cam 94 tends to move a bell-crank lever 83 relatively to the dog 86, and thus, since these are connected with each other, moves the carriage longitudinally of the frame until the dog 86 is retracted and the dog 98 advanced to grip the bolster, which is released by the dog 86. The doffing-tube may terminate in a flexible tube in communication with a bobbin receptacle carried by the carriage.
