Filed: 1911-03-10
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 6037. Brough, Nicholson, & Hall, and Tatton, J. March 10. Circular machines. - Relates to multi-feed latch-needle machines for knitting neck-ties &c. Pairs of rotary pattern-wheels 1, c are employed to act on the butts of the needles in a differential manner as described in Specification 11,888/08, the arrangement being such that a needle taking thread at one feeder misses the next. By the use of differently coloured threads at the different feeds, fancy striped patterns in solid colours are obtained, as a dissimilarly coloured thread can be floated at the back of the fabric by preventing the needles forming the solid coloured pattern from taking this thread. The wheels 1, c gear with the needles, and the wheel 1 first sorts them into those that miss and those that knit at the respective feed. The latter are taken by the teeth 2 and directed on to the wheel c. This again sorts out the needles it receives into those which are raised on the teeth d to the clearing-point and those which pass through the slots d<1>, fail to clear their loops and produce tuck stitches. The needles missed by the teeth 2 of the wheel 1 pass through the slots 3 and are taken bv the teeth 2 of the corresponding wheel 1 at the next feed, the wheels being set out to effect this result. Distributor cams 9 are employed to render the action of the wheels 1 more certain. The wheels c are provided with teeth 8 on the undersides to gear with the needle butts.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Circular Knitting Machines and the Fabric Knitted thereon.
Inventor: GRIEVE THOMAS SCOTT
IPC: D04B9/46
Filed: 1911-10-05
Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 21,935. Grieve, T. S., and Brooksby, E. Oct. 5. Knitted fabrics.-Machine-knit hose &c. are made in two distinct selvedged portions, the lower portion 65 or both portions being widened as at 68 immediately before knitting a seamless heel pouch, similar gusset portions 67 being introduced above the ankle, after which the leg is made of tubular fabric, which may be openwork. Circular machines.-The machine is set out with two distinct sets of needles, namely, ' long ' needles 7 with one knitting-butt 12 operated by cams 14, and ' short ' needles 6 with upper knitting-butts 10, 11 operated by cams 13. The needles 6 are set out as a central group A, B, C with long butts 11 and side groups D, E with short butts 10. The hose is commenced at the toe, on the group A, B, C, narrowing down to C and subsequently widening. The needles 6 in .the groups D, E have previously been depressed into an out of action track with their butts 10 below a cam 33 by the elevation of a cam 30 which draws down the short butts 10 into engagement with an incline 35 while the long butts 11 of the needles A, B, C ride up a half-thickness incline 37. During formation of the toe pouch, the needles 7 run through their cams 14 without knitting, cams 21 and 25 being placed simultaneously out of action. During the knitting of the foot bottom, the cams 21, 25 are placed in action to allow the simultaneous production of instep fabric on the needles 7 which are supplied from a second feed. Prior to knitting the heel the foot bottom is widened by the inclusion of needles 6 in the groups D, E into knitting. These needles are brought one by one into the knitting-cams 13 by selectors 38, 39 acting on the butts 10 in substantially the same manner as the selectors which act on the needles in the formation of heel and toe pouches. This widening may occur at the places 67 or 68, or at both places. When the full complement of needles in the cylinder is knitting, a change to rotary motion is made, and each needle is caused to knit at each feed. The needles 6 have lower butts 15 corresponding to the butts 12 of the needles 10, but shorter. By pushing the cam 21 in a step further, both long and short butts 12, 15 are engaged thereby and all needles caused to knit at the corresponding feed. In a similar manner, by inserting a cam 51, all needles are caused to knit at the supplementary cams 52, 54. When the hose is completed, the main threads are withheld from the needles, all of which knit, first one course of a splicing- thread which is afterwards broken or pulled out, then one course of a strong fine thread which is left in the top of the hose to strengthen the edge. The cycle of operations is then recommenced, beginning at the toe.

Abstract: 18,737. Rodda, H. W. Aug. 15. Plates, dishes, and the like, washing.-A machine for washing and rinsing crockery, cutlery, silver, &c. is constructed with means for rotating circular articles such as plates in a cage while they are being washed by water splashed on to them by rotating paddle-wheels, but can be used independently of the rotating mechanism for washing non-circular articles. Fig. 1 shows one construction of apparatus comprising a tank fitted with a funnel-shaped top and provided with paddle-wheels C<1> situated at the upper ends of side chambers formed by plates B extending nearly to the base of the tank. The common driving-shaft D is connected by a chain to a pair of grooved rollers F mounted in the tank and also to the left-hand paddle-wheel. The right-hand paddle-wheel is connected to the shaft by spur gear. Cylindrical articles such as plates are placed between the wires G<2> of the rack shown in Fig. 3, and rest on the rods G<3>. When the rack is introduced into the machine, the curved portions G' of the framework clear the rollers F, but the plates are raised by the rollers from the rods G<3> and are rotated in a vertical plane. The tank is filled with hot water up to the level of the axes of the paddle-wheels and the latter deliver water from the side chambers on to the rotating articles. The water rising up the side chambers from the base of the tank is passed through screens or strainers B', B<2>. The tank is provided with an outlet A<3> and is heated by means of steam-pipes or by a burner. Articles which cannot be rotated similarly to a plate are placed in the rack, shown in Fig. 1, comprising an openwork framing with a hinged lid and catch H<2> and with pivoted handles H<3> for lowering it into the machine and suspending it afterwards to drain the contents.

Title: Improvements in Electric Furnaces.
Inventor: WARDALL FRANCIS CHARLES
IPC: F27D11/04
Filed: 1913-02-03
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 2718. Wardall, F. C., and Merchant, J. Feb. 3. Electrode furnaces; resistance furnaces. - A vacuum-jacketed smelting, melting, or reining furnace suitable for use in foundries is tapped through an alumina or like tube 16, enclosed by a wide tube 18 which communicates with a vacuum space of the casing. Where it traverses the furnace hearth, the alumina tube is surrounded by a carbon heating-resistance in the form of a helix or cylinder connected at its ends to the charge and to a removable metal box 5 containing the hearth. A conductor 22 passes through the casing by way of a stuffing- box, and during tapping is pushed into contact with the furnace box 5 and connected to one of the electrodes, which is raised so that current passes through the carbon resistance. Within the alumina tube is a sliding'plug, made of materials which soften at known temperatures, for instance of mixtures of ground fluor-spar with infusible substances, so that it serves both to close the furnace and to indicate the temperature attained; it can be observed through a quartz or mica cone 20 in an end plate on the outer tube. The plug may be replaced by a valve. A discharge hole 16<1> in the alumina tube registers with a branch 18<3> on the outer tube. This branch tube can be bolted to a flanged pipe extending from a ladle or crucible enclosed in an exhausted chamber and adapted to receive the contents of a number of furnaces. The furnace casing is in two or more parts 7, 8, Fig. 2, each comprising two walls separated by a partly-exhausted space. Tight joints are made by packing or in part by welding or soldering. Asbestos sheeting or the like is placed between the lower part of the casing and the removable metal box 5, which is lined successively with firebrick and with refractory material such as magnesite, dolomite, or chromite. Similar refractory material 10 lines the upper part of the casing. Two vertical electrodes 1 normally dip into or form arcs with a resistent vitreous or metalliferous slag 2. At starting, arcs are struck between the electrodes and a carbon base 6, with a charge of slag. Rods 1<1> carrying the electrodes pass through stuffing-boxes in the casing. Charging is effected by way of inclined tubes 11 passing through the casing and of hoppers 14 in the cover of the furnace around the electrodes, which are raised for this purpose. After charging, the inclined tubes are closed by caps fitted with gas exit valves, each comprising a screwdown block 13<4> which simultaneously covers the ends of two sections of the gas passage 13<1>. Check valves may be provided in the inclined tubes 11. The furnace gases are carried away by a flue or by a water pump. During tapping, the gas valves are closed. According to the Provisional Specification, a violent rush of metal in tapping is prevented by means of a blind tube, openings in which are normally covered by a rubber or other sheath.
