Filed: 1925-06-05
Abstract: 235,554. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Downer, J. M.). June 10, 1924, [Convention date]. Shaft couplings.-A plate employed to maintain in position a coupling-part secured by keys to the shaft end is also employed in conjunction with screws to force the coupling-part from its shaft. The plate 15 carries external teeth 16 and is inserted into a recess 11 in the coupling part 5, its teeth 16 passing between internal teeth 13 on the coupling part. Bolts 17 are passed through enlarged holes 18 in the plate into tapped holes in the end of the shaft 3 and force the part 5 on the keys 9 and the coned end of the shaft. To remove, the part 5 from the shaft, the bolts 17 are removed and registered in tapped holes between the holes 18 so that the bolt ends bear on the end of the shaft. When the bolts are rotated engagement between the teeth 16, 13 forces the parts apart. If the shaft &c. is not coned, longer bolts may be substituted for the bolts 17 when the parts are to be disassembled. The part 5 and a flanged end 6 of the shaft 4 are secured together by coupling bolts 24. A shouldered spacing-plate 2 is inserted between the parts 5, 6 and, in order to allow free independent rotation of the shafts, this plate may be removed laterally, after withdrawal of the bolts 24, when the shafts 3, 4 have been separated a sufficient distance. This separation is effected by bolts passed into holes in the flange 5 or 6, threaded for only part of their length to expedite the operation, the bolt ends being forced against the face. of the other flange. In the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a), the removing-means 15 &c. may be employed for forcing any member from a shaft, rod, stud, &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 198,555. Delacommune, C. E. E. May 25,1922. Metronomes and other time-indicators; musicholders.-Apparatus for facilitating the synchronizing of a musical or similar performance with the projection of a kinematograph film comprises electromagnetic means, controlled, by a distribu. tor connected to the kinematograph projector, for transmitting intermittent synchronous movement to a music band travelling under an aperture in a desk, a rheostat in the circuit of the kinematograph motor being provided on the disc by which the conductor or performer may control the speed of the kinematograph and the music sheet. A luminous signal is also given in front of each bar of music on the sheet as it is to be rendered. The kinematograph projector drives a perforated distributor-sheet 4, 4<1> controlling a contact-lever through which a source of current 39 energizes intermittently an electromagnet 37 rotating, bv pawl-and-ratchet mechanism 35, the feed roller 34 of the music band 41. The conductor varies the speed of the picture-projection and the music band to suit the desired speed of the music by a rheostat 42 in the circuit of the kinematograph motor 45. On the music band each bar of music on successive lines 65, 65<1> is placed between the two of four broad opaque lines 52 - - 55 which are interrupted where they cross the staves. Under the band at the aperture 32 in the desk 31 is a ground glass plate 66x with four transparent windows 60 - - 63, arranged under the lines 52 - - 55 and occupying the space between the successive staves. A light inside the desk thus produces a luminous patch in front of each bar of music as it is to be rendered, the band moving forward by steps of one-quarter the distance between successive staves. The distributor-sheet 4, 4<1> may also control a metronome or alternately-lighted lamps 65x, 66 en the desk 31.

Abstract: 971, 273. Dummy shuttle looms. M. CLAEGS. April 19, 1962, No. 15208/62. Heading D1E. A loom has a dummy shuttle, picked in both directions to lay single threads, having a yarn gripper comprising a fixed plate and a movable plate actuated by withdrawable abutments on the sley. Dummy shuttle; selvedge forming: (Figs. 8, 10, 12, 19). The shuttle 6 has pivoted levers 8 with cams 8a, 8b on their undersides, the cams of one lever co-operating with withdrawable abutments 18, 23 (Fig. 19) and the cams of the other lever with abutments 24, 25 on the sley. When the levers 8 are up (Fig. 10) the gripper 12, 14 is open and when down closed. In use (Fig. 19) the shuttle is picked to the right, the abutment 18 acts on the cam 8a to lower the lever causing 12, 14 to grip the weft. The weft between the selvedge and shuttle is cut by an edge on the shuttle and the shuttle withdraws weft and lays it in the shed. A brush 21 tucks in the weft end. At the other side of the shed abutment 23 opens the gripper 12, 14 to release the thread. Weft supplying; guiding: (Figs. 14, 18). The weft 2 is guided to the shuttle eye by a pivoted two armed lever 15. Upon release of the weft by the shuttle members 26 are raised to close the selvedge shed on the weft to hold it until beat up. Temples: (Fig. 14). The temple comprises a bent wire 22. Beat up motions; shuttle race: (Figs. 18, 23, 24). The sley 27, pivoted about 28, is driven by rods 30 linked by followers 35 to rods 31 whose ends 32 are adjustable to vary the sley throw. The followers 35 run in tracks 36a of members 36 pivoted at 37 and moved by a crank 39 and con-rod 38. The tracks 36a have a straight portion and a circular portion concentric to the pivots 37. In use for the first 90 degrees of crank 39 revolution the members 36 are pivot but the followers 34 run in the circular portion of the track 36a so that the sley is not moved. For the next 180 degrees of crank revolution the followers 35 run in the straight portion of the track 36a and the sley is advanced and retracted and for the last 90 degrees the follower again runs in the circular portion and the sley is stationary. The sley is thus stationary for 180 degrees of crank movement.
