Title: Improvements in and relating to V-pulleys.
Inventor: HUTTON HENRY THOMAS
IPC: F16H55/50
Filed: 1912-01-08
Granted: 1913-03-10
Abstract: 591. Hutton, H. T. Jan. 8 Pulleys. - One flange B of a sinuously grooved driving-pulley is rotatably mounted in relation to the other flange A but is connected thereto by a spring H which normally retains it in such a position that the ridges b, b<1> on each side are opposite the hollows a<1>, a respectively on the other side. An adjustable nut E or a collar &c. prevents axial displacement of the loose flange B. When the belt, rope, &c. fails to grip the faces A, B sufficiently tightly, the loose flange B is carried round to a slight extent to bring opposite ridges b, b<1> nearer together, to increase the grip. The distance between the flanges may be adjusted by means of the nut E. A spring or rubber washer F may be interposed between the nut and the flange B. In the Provisional Specification, the device is stated to be applicable to the power-transmission means on motor-vehicles &c.

Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 2102. Walker & Sons, R., and Kent, A. Jan. 26. Straight - bar machines. - Machines of the ' Cotton's ' and similar types arranged for the production of multiplicate work are provided with attachments, whereby part of the machine may be placed out of action while the remaining part of the machine remains in action. Thus special work, such as samples, may be produced on one or more sections of the machine, while any work that happens to be on the remaining sections may be left on the needles. The frame needle-bar shaft c is divided into disconnected lengths, each length being provided with a separate knocking- over lever e, and with separate cams g on the shaft h. When all the sections are in operation the levers e move in unison. Any or all the levers e may be taken out of action by sliding a bolt 2 mounted in a bracket 3 attached to a standard a beneath the lower end of the lever e when it is in the position indicated by full lines. Any equivalent means for holding the levers out of action may be employed.

Abstract: 23,568. Hume, G. W., Malcolm, J. A., and Owen, C. M. Oct. 15. Bird and animal scares.-An appliance for scaring birds and animals comprises a lightreflecting member which is movable by air currents so as to produce a glittering effect, with or without a clattering or rattling effect. It may consist of an electroplated, silvered, or polished piece of metal of any shape suspended from a tree &c. by a support admitting of rotary, swinging, orbital, and other movements. Fig. 1 shows a corrugated and tapered piece of metal f suspended by means of a swivel formed by bending two pieces of wire a e, as shown. Movement of the swivel produces a clattering or rattling effect which may be increased by making an opening or gap in part of the double loop d, so as to cause the wire e to rise and fall with a jarring action as it is rotated. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the lower part only of the reflector l is corrugated, and a loop is formed at the upper end into which passes a wire hook p provided with stops r, s to secure the reflector l and limit its vertical movements. The reflector may be arranged to rotate about an horizontal axis. According to the Provisional Specification, the reflector may produce sound waves by its speed of rotation.

A device of the following character is provided for linespacing a tally-strip at will when the platen is rotated to feed in an invoice &c. The platenrotating mechanism for feeding in the invoice &c. to bring the first line thereon to the printing line consists of a lever b formed with a segment a gearing with a smaller pinion c having a one-way connexion with the platen-spindle d. The movement of the lever is adjusted by a movable stop a<1>, mounted in a slot b<1> in the segment a, and adapted to engage a fixed stop c'. The tally-strip l is fed from a roller p over the platen to a roller k provided with a ratchet-wheel i engaged by a pawl g which is pivoted on a lever h and formed with a tail arranged in the path of a pin e on the lever b. The roller p is engaged by a brake-band q pulled downwards by a spring u. When the lever b is swung forwards, the platen is rotated and the spring e engages the pawl and line-spaces the tallystrip, the pawl being then released owing to the difference in curvature of the paths of the pin and the pawl, and being returned by a spring t which moves the lever h against a stop r. During the return stroke of the lever b, the pinion c moves idly and the pin e wipes over the pawl. To prevent line-spacing of the tally-strip, the pin e is moved away from the pawl by means of a lever f pivoted on the lever b. Web-cutting arrangements.-A pivoted blade v can be swung inwards to sever the tally-strip, a cooperating stationary blade being provided. The blade v is normally held by a spring in the position shown.

Pouncing and finishing; pile or nap, producing.- In a machine for raising the nap on hat bodies, means are provided for shearing the nap without removing the bodies from their supporting- cones. The hat bodies to be treated by a rotary raising - tool x, Fig. 1, are placed on four cones, two of which Y', Y<3> are shown, grouped around the tool spindle 3. The cones are revolubly mounted on adjustable brackets 6 on base-plates 4 having elongated holes for the passage of bolts 6'. The shaft 3 is rotated from the main shaft 11 by bevelgearing 12, 13, and is lowered and raised by a cam 23 and counterweight 16<1>, acting through cords 15, 16. The cam 23 is loose on a spindle 24 worm-driven from the shaft 11, and having a clutch, operated by a rod 28, to rotate the cam. The raising-tool x consists of a disk on which is removably fixed a card band. A roller 33 mounted on a lever 34 serves to finish the tops of the hat bodies.

Title: Improved Process for Manufacturing Paper and Shaped Articles from Paper Pulp and the like and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: WARREN LYMAN EDDY
IPC: D21G9/00
Filed: 1913-11-12
Granted: 1914-06-04
Abstract: 25,941. Warren, L. E. Nov. 12. Cylinder paper-machines; cylinders and drums; drying.-Paper and the like in straight webs and other shapes is made from pulp by consolidating a portion of the pulp while in suspension in the general mass, thus avoiding the production of " grain " in the paper and consequent loss of strength. In producing a sheet of pulp, two rotating rollers 13, 14 having wire-mesh surfaces consolidate by pressure a layer of pulp. The rollers have stationary ends, and one roller 13 has a number of thin chambers 23, the inner ends of which are closed by an air-tight cylindrical portion 22. In one or both cheeks are openings 24, registering with a small number of radial chambers as shown and connected to an air-pump 25 by which the sheet is blown on to the roller 14. Instead of, or in addition to, the pump 25, a vacuum pump may be connected to the roll 14. The material is transferred tn the drying-roll 27 by means of a suction pump 38, the suction area of the roll extending between the lines 36, 37, and for drying purposes, hot air is drawn from a coil 32. The material may be transferred to the roller 40 for further drying or other treatment. A roller, rotating on stationary trunnions and having a stationary air box, may be subatituted for the roller 13. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which alternate strips of " useful " and " waste " pulp are drawn from a continuous web, the waste portions being returned to the reservoir at once. A web is consolidated between the rolls 63, 65, the useful portions being held on the surface of the roll 63 by suction. The suction areas of the roll are connected by passages 69 to a longitudinal conduit 70 which, for a portion of its revolution, is opposite suction openings 71 in the end of the roller. The useful portions are transferred to the roller 64 by air pressure when the conduit 70 is opposite the opening 78. Air pressure from corresponding areas of the roll 65 helps to cause the useful portions to adhere to the roll 63. Similarly, the waste portions are caused to adhere to the roll 65 and are returned to the vat under the influence of air pressure at the opening 80. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement for the production of isolated useful portions, where it is desired to convey positive and negative pressures to a series of isolated areas surrounded by areas to which contrary pressure is conveyed. The surface of the roll is built up of thin flat passages, negative-pressure passages being used to produce the design, and positive-pressure passages to blow off the waste. Conduits 88 are connected alternately, at proper periods during their revolution, to openings such as 71, 78, Fig. 4, and conduits 92 to pressure openings 67, by which the waste would be blown on to the roller 65. Where passages 86 interrupt the throughconnexions 93 of passages 91, vertical members 94, 95, joined by bridging-tubes 96, 97, are arranged.
