Patent GB-191311536-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Embroidered or Figured Fabrics.
Inventor: BARBIER ALEXANDRE
IPC: D03D31/00
Filed: 1913-05-17
Granted: 1914-05-18
Abstract: 11,536. Barbier, A. June 20, 1912, [Convention date]. Swivel looms.- In looms for weaving embroidered or figured fabrics, the bar a, Figs. 1 and 2, of the figuring - mechanism is provided with brackets a<1>, a<2> and trunnions m<1>, m<2> carried by brackets m<3>, m<4> on a pivoted frame c, which is normally stationary but is connected to the lay, when figuring is to occur, by arrangements similar to those described in Specification 5025/03. The bar a is moved transversely on the frame c, to carry the shuttles to various points, by a rod k provided with a pin i extending between two plates i<1> on the trunnion m<2>, which is fixed to the bracket a<2>. The lever is moved to the right, against the action of a spring j, by a lever k<1> and a cord h connected to a cylinder f, which is moved in one direction by a jacquard cord d, and, when the cord descends, is moved by a spring g in the contrary direction to an extent limited by the engagement of one of several jacquard-controlled fingers e with one of several abutments f<1> on the cylinder f. When figuring is to occur, hooks u<2> on the frame c are moved by the jacquard into engagement with hooks p on the lay, the engagement being afterwards maintained by special mechanism. When the lay moves rearwards, levers s, pivoted to the frame c and connected by rods t to stirrups r<1>, r<2> carrying the brackets m<3>, m<4>, engage inclined planes v actuated by an eccentric. The bar a is thus lowered against the action of springs r, so that the shuttle carriers are introduced into the shed. The shuttles are then picked from one carrier to another by a rack governed by a toothed wheel mounted on a shaft 15 actuated by a chain or an endless cord o passing round pulleys n, 14, 13, 12. The pulley 12 is mounted on an axle carrying a toothed wheel 11 driven by a rack 10 adjustably connected to a slotted lever 9, to which a rod 8 pivoted at 17 to a wheel 3 is adjustably connected. A jacquard cord 5 actuates a lever 6 and raises a lever 4 carrying the wheel 3, which is thus moved into position to be actuated by a toothed sector 2. Several rows of shuttles may be employed. The trunnion m<2> can be turned to tilt the bar a forwards to facilitate changing of the shuttles. The plates i<1> are thereby disengaged from 'the pin i and the lever k is thereupon moved to the left by the spring j. As the lever k carries the pulley n, the cord o is relaxed, thus facilitating filling of the shuttles.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Vacuum Tubes.
IPC: H01J35/14
Filed: 1913-06-27
Granted: 1914-06-29
Abstract: 14,892. British Thomson - Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 27. [Cognate Application, 25,849/13.] R÷ntgen-ray tubes.-A tube is exhausted to such a degree that ionized gas takes no appreciable part in the discharge, which consists in the passage of electrons liberated from an incandescent cathode. The electrodes and other exposed metal parts are preferably of tungsten or molybdenum, which may be very completely freed from gas, but the cathode may, in some cases, consist of a filament of tantalum, carbon, or other material. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the cathode consists of a concentrated filament 5, and is surrounded by a cylinder 11 of tungsten, alumininm, iron, or other conductor, which may be connected to the cathode by an external switch, and acts to focus the cathode rays on to the anode. The discharge current may be adjusted by varying the heating current supplied to the cathode, and the hardness of the rays emitted by varying the voltage across the tube. The cylinder 11 may have a perforated cover 17, which may be concave, as shown, or flat, or the cylinder may be tapered at the front, and held in a ring ; in a modification, the cylinder 11 is replaced by a deposit of silver inside the vessel. In other forms, a coil is wound on the vessel, or the cathode is itself wound inductively to promote focusing magnetically. In a modification, Fig. 8, the cathode consists of a filament 25 arranged axially at low voltages, the tip only of the cathode supplies electrons for the discharge, but the effective length increases with the voltage. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the cathode consists of a flat spiral filament 25 arranged normally to the axis of the container, and is enclosed by a focussing tube 21. The tube 21 is supported by wires 22, 23 secured to a glass or like tube, which projects into the container, and through which the cathode leading-in wires pass ; the end of the tube adjacent to the cathode may be of heat-resisting material such as sodium-magnesium-borosilicate glass, or silica, which is joined to the rest of the tube by a graded seal. The anode 2 is bound by a tungsten or molybdenum wire to a molybdenum or other rod, supported in one neck of the container by a number of split tubes of molybdenum or other material. The high vacuum necessary may be obtained by means of a Gaede molecular pump ; the tube may be first connected to the pump without a constriction and a discharge passed until the last traces of gas have been removed from the electrodes ; carefully dried air is then admitted and a constriction formed, and the tube is again exhausted. A tube of the kind described may be used on an alternating-current circuit without a rectifier.

Title: Improvements in Means for Controlling the Draught in Steam-generator and other Furnaces.
Inventor: PRAT LOUIS
Filed: 1913-08-14
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 18,493. Prat, L. Sept. 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Draught, regulating. - In a steam-boiler or other furnace having a combined forced and exhaust draught system, a blower f, Fig. 1, delivers air through a pipe h to the ash - pit and through a pipe c to a nozzle d arranged at the lower end of the chimney c, the relative supplies of air to the two branches h, e being controlled by a valve k actuated by a piston m, the space above which communicates by means of a pipe n with the contracted portion of a Venturi tube o arranged in the pipe h. The lower side of the piston is exposed to atmospheric or other constant pressure, so that the piston m and valve k are actuated when any variation in the flow of air in the pipe h takes place due to any variation of resistance in the furnace, 'such as may be due for example to stoking. An increase of resistance in the furnace causes a diminution of flow in the pipe h and a diminution of vacuum at the contracted portion of the tube o. The piston m in these circumstances falls and raises the valve k so as to increase the supply of air to the grate and decrease the supply to the nozzle d, the effect being to maintain a constant pressure in the furnace. Other devices operated by fluid pressure and responding to pressure differences due to variations in rate of flow may be employed instead of the piston m and Venturi tube o. The blower may be controlled by variations of steam pressure in the boiler. Steam from the pipe q actuates a piston t and controls a valve u supplying steam to the motor that drives the blower or other regulating-device in connexion with an electric motor. The air passing to the grate may be passed through a tubular heater arranged in the chimney.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Barrel Carriages for Dismemberable Gun Barrels.
IPC: F41A25/00
Filed: 1915-02-24
Granted: 1915-09-16
Abstract: 2998. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. March 6, 1914, [Convention date]. Field carriages.-Relates to barrel carriages for dismounted field guns, and consists in providing gear on the barrel carriage for rotating the gun-barrel parts for dismembering and reassembling them, the gear being capable of being moved aside to permit transference of the gun barrel from the gun slide to the barrelcarriage slide, and vice versa. Figs. 1 and 7 show opposite sides of the assembled gun after it has been slid from the gun cradle (not shown) to a dismembering position on the slides d<1> of the barrel carriage D. A worm G, pivotally mounted on arms F on the carriage D, is then rocked about an axis E into engagement with a worm sector c<5> on the breech-ring C, and is held in this position by a bolt passing through holes d<4>. Rotation of the worm by means of a handle e<1> and chain gearing then rotates the breech-ring C a sufficient amount to cause bayonet-locks a<1> on the barrel tube A completely to disengage from corresponding locks on the ring C, but insufficiently to disengage the locks c' on the ring completely from corresponding locks b<2> on the breech-jacket B. This permits the tube A to be drawn to the left, Fig. 1, and the parts C, B to be lifted together from the slide D, a lug b<3> registering with a recess d<6>. When the gun is assembled, bolts M, N, Fig. 7, on the ring C engage with the projection b<6> on the jacket and the face r' of the closed breech wedge-block R, and lock the ring against rotation. The breech-block R cannot be closed until the bolt N is moved to the right by the pushing of the bolt M to the left, the bolts being interconnected by a lever P. The closing of the wedge also locks the bolts M, N and therefore the ring C to the jacket B in the position shown in Fig. 10, in which the tube A is released from the ring. The stops c<6>, d<5>, Figs. 1 and 10, prevent the barrel sliding from the barrel carriage unless the breech-ring C is turned into locking engagement with the tube A.
