Abstract: 21,101. Larmuth, W. O. Sept. 10. Machines for making. -Wire - containing bobbins care mounted in cradles d suspended by means of ball bearings from the centres of brackets b, which are fixed at intervals to the walls of a longitudinally-slotted tube a rotating at high speed. The core or central wire is drawn off an outside drum or the end bobbin. In order to stop the machine when the supply from any bobbin fails, the wires are threaded through plungers p mounted radially in the tube a, and the absence of a wire allows the end p<2> of the corresponding plunger to be thrown out into the path of an arm t, which releases, by trip action, a sliding spring-actuated rod connected to the belt-fork. This rod also carries an incline which draws a brake-strap against the tube a to bring it to rest.

Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 13,173. Shanks, C. r. June 1. Planing.-A feed-mechanism for reciprocating machine tools consists of a worm-wheel A gearing with a worm B on the main shaft C, and adapted to hold circularly adjustable thereon a disk D recessed on its front face, this recess ending in an inclined part G. A second disk H circularly adjustable on the disk D carries a projection J and is provided with a scale to indicate the feed. The worm-wheel is oscillated for a portion of a rotation in each direction at each motion of the reciprocating part. A sliding bar K is mounted in a bracket and carries at one end a roller M engaging the disk D, and engages a lever O pivoted to the frame, which in turn engages the spring-pressed clutch portion Q splined to the shaft Q<1>. A notch on the bar K is engaged by a spring catch V having two arms, one of which is actuated by the stop J to disengage the catch, Fig. 5, just before the end of the stroke, thus allowing the clutch Q<1> to engage a clutch portion carried by a bevel pinion S driven from the shaft C. The shaft Q<1> drives the feed through either the worm gearing X or worm gearing Z through the medium of a sliding shaft a having feathers b to engage either worm-wheel, and which carries the bevel wheels c to engage a bevel wheel d on the feed-shafts. The clutch Q is disengaged after the feed by the cam-surface G pushing the rod K back until the catch engages the notch, the stop J overriding the spring arm on the reverse rotation of the worm-wheel A.

Abstract: 16,822. Dymond, G. C., [Fortuna-Werke A. Hirth]. July 22. Tools.-The bearings of a high-speed rotary shaft for a machine tool are mounted in a movable sleeve, and have means for preventing radial and axial play. The shaft b, Fig. 1, is mounted in the sleeve h by means of a ball bearing at one end in close proximity to the tool a, and a roller bearing l at the other end. Races c, n for the balls and rollers are preferably turned in the shaft itself. The rollers l are free to move axially on the inner surface of the tube h to allow for expansion of the shaft. A ball bearing may be substituted for the roller bearing l. To enable the sleeve h together with the tool a to be readily removed, the sleeve is clamped between cylindrical seats s, u, Fig. 2, the seat u being pivoted on a pin t and secured by a lever y, provided with a roller v travelling on a cam-path w. A loose pulley 4 is mounted in proximity to the driving-pulley o on a bracket 2 adjustably secured to a bar x. The loose pulley 4 is removably secured to its shaft by springs 7, which are mounted in grooves in the shaft and snap into slots in the pulley.

Abstract: 21,465. Pilkington, F. A. Sept. 29. [Cognate Application, 22,860/11.] Pile tables and supports for sheet feeds.-In sheet-feeding mechanism for printing, folding, and like machines in which, while one pile is being fed, a second pile may be stacked beneath the first pile in order to provide a practically continuous feed, the pile-lifting brackets are constructed and arranged so as to be movable up and down vertical supports, and are also adapted to be turned laterally to enable them to clear the second pile when lowered to engage it. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the brackets comprise laterally-movable arms c hinged to pinions c<1> slidably mounted upon vertical supports a. The brackets are raised and lowered by means of chains f passing over chain-wheels e driven by gearing k<2>, k<1>, a worm-wheel q, and a worm h, which may be rotated by hand by means of a chain k for rapidly raising or lowering the pile, or automatically by a ratchet and pawl j<1>, j<2> driven from the machine by a cam r and levers q, j<3>. In a modification shown in Fig. 3, the chains f are endless and the brackets are raiced and lowered by means of pinions e<1> mounted on a shaft n carried by the brackets, and engaging the chains. The shaft n is rotated through a clutch n<1> by means of a worm-wheel n<2> and worm o<1 >slidably mounted upon a shaft o which is rotated by a ratchet arrangement similar to that in Fig. 1. To enable sheets of different sizes or thicknesses to be fed simultaneously from two piles, each bracket is provided with an independent raising-mechanism, and the arms o of the brackets are formed rigid with the pinions c<1> and are provided with lateral arms to support the piles, the arms being pivoted to allow them to be turned so as to lie along the arms c to clear the secondary piles during descent. In further modifications: (1) the brackets comprise rigid arms capable of sliding and turning about their supports, which may be in the form of screws, racks, or plain rods; (2) the bracket is slidahly keyed to a rotatable support.

Abstract: 24,065. Smith, A., and Monk, W. J. Oct. 31. Tensioning yarns in warp form.-A device for tensioning a series of threads &c. comprises a roller or a series of rollers c which press the thread &c. against a fixed surface b. The rollers are carried in slots in bifurcated levers d pivoted at 3 to a slide g and connected by a link f, the top roller being adjustably supported by a pin w projecting from a frame x in which the slide g works The uppermost roller is locked against rotation by a pin c<2>. The initial pressure of the rollers against the surface b and consequently the tension on the thread is regulated by fixing the slide g in any desired position so as to vary the inclinations of the slots in which the rollers are carried, and the pressure of the rollers is automatically regulated by forming the slide g so as to rest upon a lever h operated by lever or cam action from a part of the machine; as shown, it is operated through a bowl n and lever k from the sector m of a ' universal ' threadwinding machine. The frame x may be pivotally mounted at and the lever h extended to form a quadrant h<1> so that the rollers may be moved laterallv to allow the insertion of the thread between the surface and the rollers. The levers d may be arranged so that on moving the slide g, one or more of the rollers may be released from pressing against the surface b. In a modification, spring pressure is applied to the rollers. According to the Provisional Specification, the rollers maybe mounted on lever arms, the pivotal centres of which may be altered to vary the pressure of the rollers against the fixed surface, and the series of threads may be such as warp threads.

Braiding - machines. - Relates to stopping and starting devices for bobbins comprising pairs of arms 3, 3<a> extending on either side of each stopping- place and pivoted at 2 to swivelling bearings 1. The rear ends extend past a pivoted triangular piece 9 and are retained in an horizontal position by springs 4. When a bobbin approaches a stopping- place, it passes over one or other of the cam-shaped portions 7 of the arms 3, 3<a>, by which it is retained in position. When a resting bobbin is required to move, the corresponding arm 3 or 3<a> is depressed by a jacquard wire 10 so as to clear the bobbin stem ; this action rocks the triangular piece 9, and causes it to move the other arm laterally, thus projecting the bobbin over the depressed arm and on to the drivers. In another form, fixed inclines are provided for the rear ends of the arms 3, 3<a> to work against so as to produce the required combined lateral and dipping movement.
