Delivery, stopping; stop-motions; threadguides; clearing - ap - paratus.-In spinning- machines wherein a tongue is inserted between the delivery rollers upon breakage, the guide - arm controlling the tongue is prevented from falling too far by a rod that serves to support the arm in the working position when the ma- The guide-arm is chine is not in operation. The guide-arm is pivoted on a shaft 14 and carries a tongue 12. An arm 17, pivoted on the shaft 14 and operated by a handle 19, is provided with a supporting- surface, which, when the handle is in the position shown, prevents the guide-arm from falling too far when a thread breaks, and, when the handle is placed so that a notch 21 therein engages with a pin, supports the guide-arm in the working position. The handle 19 can be connected to, and operated with, the stop-rod of the machine. The eye of the guide-arm may be constructed so as to remove foreign matter from the thread, and the friction of the thread in the eye regulates the twist.

Abstract: 1381458 Stuffer box crimping; control of yarn plug ALLIED CHEMICAL CORP 19 March 1973 [29 March 1972 18 Sept 1972] 13162/73 Heading D1F In a process of texturing yarn by directing heated yarn in a current of heated fluid against a yarn plug in a stuffer box arid discharging the yarn, the location of the end of the yarn plug at the discharge end of the stuffer box is controlled by sensing the plug end location with at least one jet of fluid issuing from a port near the discharge end of the stuffer box, the port communicating with a pressure sensor controller which actuates a control valve which controls flow of the heated fluid. The heated fluid is preferably steam and the jet fluid is preferably air. The jet fluid may issue from orifices communicating with a manifold supplied from a recessed port. The manifold may have a plurality of orifices or a single elongated opening. In a preferred embodiment, the plug end is controlled between two ports directing fluid into the stuffer box. The pressure sensor controller may be fluidic, electrical, electronic or a combination thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the controller is a fluidic amplifier having a fixed gain, adjustable bias, and rate controlled output relay. The output of the controller is preferably through a three-way valve connected so as to override the output with a constant signal to open the flow control means enough to keep the stuffer box hot when the apparatus is not operating. Various suitable control circuits are described in the Specification.

Patent GB-133735-A (GB)
IPC: F02N3/04
Abstract: 133,735. Rapson, F. L. Sept. 17, 1918. Starting; turning-gear.-A spring starter of the runner-block type described in Specifications 125,751 and 130,125 is provided with an auxiliary starting-engine which may be brought into action after the spring starter, either automatically or by a further depression of the pedal, or may be actuated simultaneously with the spring starter. The auxiliary engine then runs until the starter pedal is released. In one form, Fig. 1, a runner block 4 and a starter shaft 1 have co-operating grooves fitted with antifriction balls, the block and shaft being actuated by springs as described in Specification 125,751. A pinion 9 slidable on the squared portion of the shaft is brought into mesh with teeth on the engine fly-wheel 10 by means of a pedal 11 acting on a slidable tubular rod 12, which also controls a lever 15 for releasing a ratchet device 16 and allowing the starter shaft to rotate. At the end of its travel, the runner block 4 brings a re-winding pinion 22 into gear with the fly-wheel 10. If the engine fails to start, further depression of the pedal 11 actuates a friction clutch 27 by means of a rod 41 slidable within the tubular rod 12. The clutch couples the starter shaft to an auxiliary engine B, which is then supplied with combustible mixture by a surface carburettor C supplied with fuel by a valve 38 actuated by the rod 41. A camsurface 44 on the rod 41 actuates the ignition switch 46 of the engine B. In a modification, the clutch 27 is replaced by a rigid connexion between the engine B and the starter shaft 1, and the rod 12 actuates the ignition switch and the valve 38 directly, so that the engine B and the starter are actuated simultaneously. In a further modification, the engine B is started automatically at the end of the stroke of the spring starter. When the runner block moves the rewinding pinion 22 into gear with the fly-wheel 10, a cam-surface on the starter casing 21 actuates the clutch 27 and the ignition switch 46, and a flange on the casing actuates means for opening a valve in the mixture-supply pipe 47 to the engine B. Specification 133,398 also is referred to.

The pH value of the paste is adjusted to 7 to 10 before the addition by acids, alkali, or buffer salts such as borax. The mixture is heated to 80C. or over. A catalyst to ensure the hardening of the ureaformaldehyde compound, such as phthalic, formic, acetic or lactic acid, an acid amine salt such as methylamine hydrochloride or ammonium phosphate, chloride or thiocyanate may be added. The products are useful as adhesives and in dressing, sizing, coating, printing, and finishing textiles, and sizing paper. The ureaformaldehyde product is added in the proportion of 1 to 12 parts to 4 parts of the starch product. Specification 543,433 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 described also the use of condensation or addition products of dicyandiamide or a triazine such as melamine with formaldehyde or other aldehyde.

[Class 120 (ii)] In machines for winding yarns or threads to form pirns, spools, or cylindrical, conical or other packages comprising in association with each spindle a splined shaft carrying a traverse cam moved therealong by an adjacent screwed shaft, the screwed shaft 11 and the splined shaft 12 are respectively driven by gears 16, 18, and the spindles by bands or tapes 3, and the driving- gears of the shafts and the spindles are disconnected simultaneously by detectoroperated mechanism. The shafts 11, 12 are carried by a frame pivoted at 15<a> and moved thereabouts to disconnect the drive 16, 18. of the screw 11 and shaft 12 upon breakage or completion of the winding. Stoppage is effected by releasing the tension bracket 4<b> of the spindle-driving band which moves forward under the tension of the. band and by means of a rod 29 moves the traverse mechanism about the pivot 15<a>, and applies a brake x<1> to the spindle wharl. The tension bracket is released (1) upon completion of the cop by the engagement of the bracket 10 with a stop 24 on a rod 25 which by means of a hook 25<a> unships a latch 26, (2) upon breakage by a detector t which, by a rod t<3>, moves a catch u on the latch 26 into the path of an oscillating detent u<1> and so unships the latch. The traverse guide 8 is pivoted on a carrier 9 adjustably connected by a screw 13 to a bracket 10, which is engagable with the screw 11, so as to be traversed thereby, and carries a cam 20 splined on the shaft 12 to oscillate the guide 8. The traverse of the guide is varied by adjustment of the carrier 9 relative to the bracket 10 to alter the engagement of the cam with the operating arm 22 of the guide. By disconnecting the screw a parallel wind may be effected.
