Abstract: 9271. Spiess, G. April 19. Tripping-arrangements. - Relates to sheetfeeding apparatus of the kind wherein the sheets are fed off singly by a combing-roll which is raised by automatic means when the sheet reaches a predetermined point, such as that described in Specification 4663/09 and consists in the addition of manual means for lifting the combing-roll from the pile, without stopping the rest of the mechanism. The top sheet is fed off as usual, by a combing roller A, mounted on a bell-crank capable of being rocked to lift the roller A, by a lever N operated by a slide B when the sheet, in its forward movement, reaches the feeler H. The shaft R carrying the lever N is furnished with arms Q, bearing on cams O loosely-mounted on the shaft L. Should any obstruction occur in the feed, the roll A can be lifted clear of the pile by turning the cams O by means of a lever P. In a modification, the roll A is lifted by a hand-lever engaging the end of the lever N.

Abstract: 7784. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. April 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Dynamos, regulating; alternating - c u r r e n t commutator machines. -The voltage of a selfexcited dynamo-electric machine may be regulated through a wide range in a stable manner by short-circuiting or cutting-out groups of field-magnet poles, while the remaining poles are kept saturated. For example, in a six-pole machine, all the field-magnet coils may be joined in series, with a regulating resistance connected in shunt across two or four of the coils, or the arrangement of the resistance w shown in Fig. 3<a> may be adopted. Iron-wire resistances may be used. The position of the contact k1 may be adjusted automatically by means depending upon the machine voltage or current &c. A Tirrill regulator may be employed to open and close the circuit at the contact k1. 'The invention is applicable to series generators, and to self-excited, alternating-current commutator machines. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that parts of the field-magnet poles may be weakened by the use of resistances and other parts kept saturated by employing inner and outer windings on the poles; instead of short-circuiting pairs of poles, these may be connected in opposition. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1914-09-03
Abstract: 10,618. Scott, R. W. May 7, 1913, [Convention date]. Circular machines; parallel machines; knitted fabrics.-To permit the formation of ribbed knit webs under conditions imposing a greatlv decreased strain on the yarn and thus enable delicate yarns to be employed, the knitting operations are performed in a different order from the usual. The primary needles, i.e. the first set to knit, for example the cylinder needles x having knitted, are immediately advanced by a cam 13 to the position shown in Fig. 4, to release the yarn drawn by their stitchforming movement. The secondary needles, for example the dial needles, are divided into two sets y, y<1> differing in the position of their butts, and only one set y then knits, as shown in Fig. 4. The needles x, y' have thus been brought into a position in which the minimum extent of yarn passes through the old loops; consequently the needles y have a maximum amount of yarn with which to perform the operation of pulling the new loops through the old loops. The needles y are then advanced to release the yarn drawn by their stitch-forming movement, and the knocking-over operation is then performed on the needles y' in the same way as described above for the needles y. The yarn knitted is then adjusted or distributed evenly between the loops formed from it, by means of a cam 20 acting on the cylinder needles, and similar cams acting on the two sets of dial needles. In the case of multiple or double course machines, the order at which the needles y, y<1> knock over is reversed at the second feed or course. The method described may be applied to one-and-one or other kinds of ribbed fabric. and to machines of the straight or flat bed type as well as to circular machines. The ribbed webs knitted may be characterized by the formation on one or both faces of persistently tucked loops, for instance cardigan and half-cardigan fabrics. A modified form is described in which the dial needles are the primary set, and the cylinder needles comprise the two secondary sets. The invention is applicable to spring needle machines.

[Cognate Application, 17,794/14.] Shuttles.-In threading a shuttle provided with a hand-threading device, the weft from the cop G is passed along a slot A, under a projecting pin a<2>, which prevents ballooning, round the end of a portion E, and along a slot B. The slots A, B communicate with tunnels below them, and as the weft passes into the tunnel B<1> below the slot B, it passes over a pin b which projects through the finger hole or eye C, so that the lcop of weft may be caught by the finger and the end drawn through the eye between the pin b and a pin b<1> at one end of the eye. The.tunnel B<1>, which may be parallel or tapered, extends downwards from the cop recess to the eye, and, as an alternative method of threading, the weft may be passed along the slots, held at the cop, a n d pulled in the direction of the arrow until it breaks between its end and the part E, whereupon the free end springs through the eye. The threaded weft passes over a pin e at the end of the portion E, the upper edge of which may be cut away at e<1> to prevent its catching the warps. The threading-device may be formed separately from the shuttle and may comprise a metal or other casting &c. with a plate, pin, &c. to deflect the weft through the eye, and the casting and the recess therefor or the casting alone may be shaped to form the weft passages.
