Title: Automatic Stripping Device for Carding Engines.
Inventor: HAMACHER FRANZ
IPC: D01G15/80
Filed: 1912-10-07
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 22,828. Hamacher, F. Oct. 7. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Carding-engines. - In an automatic stripping- device in which a stripping-roller carried on pivoted arms is periodically brought into contact with the main cylinder, means are provided for opening a door in the casing to allow the entrance of the stripping-roller and for placing the belt on the loose pulley during the stripping operation. The device is brought into operation by a screw shaft f, operated from the taker-in e, reelasing a catch 18 and allowing a weighted lever g to fall. The movement of this lever about its pivot 21 (a) places the belt on the loose pulley through the medium of the rod 22, the cylinder continuing to revolve by reason of its momentum, (b) opens the door c through the connecting-rod 6, the door being mounted on pivoted arms 7 and provided with weights 9 which complete the opening and closing movements, and (c) lifts a lever l so as to place a friction gear m in contact with a gear n on the cylinder shaft. The opening of the door c acts through a lever 10, 11 to withdraw a wedge 12 and to allow a spring to move sideways the bearing of the side shaft 14, which drives the taker-in from the doffer band thus to stop the taker-in. The friction gear m is mounted on the same shaft as a gear o, and this drives through an intermediate shaft k and worm gearing a cam u, which operates a rocking shaft v and acting through a connecting-rod 1, moves the stripping- roller d into contact with the cylinder. A friction gear 2 on the roller shaft comes into contact with a gear 3 driven from the shaft k. Further rotation of the cam u returns the stripping-roller to its inoperative position, and by means of an abutment 23 releases a weighted lever 17. This in falling returns the lever g to its original position, where it can be secured by the catch 18. The return movement of the lever separates the gears m, n, returns the belt to the fast pulley, and closes the door; this last action causes the side shaft 14 to be put in gear again. The shaft f is then reset, by hand, and the levers g, 17 are secured by their respective hooks 18, 16.

Abstract: 6479. Sahulka, J. March 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Arc and spark-gap apparatus, arrangements of; commutator switching - arrangements; converting alternating and direct currents. - In a method of producing trains of electric oscillations, the connexions between the supply circuit and the oscillation condenser are continually reversed by means of a rotary commutator or an equivalent arrangement of spark - gaps. The oscillation condenser is thus reversed in its charge at each reversal, so that its change of voltage is twice that of the supply current. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the supply battery G and condenser C, are connected to toothed rotary disks Z1, Z2, on which bear brushes B1, B2 connected to the oscillation circuit C2, H. The gaps between the teeth of the disks Z1, Z, may be filled with insulated metal segments, and the brushes may be replaced by rollers, which may or may not touch the disks. The two disks may be replaced by a single disk in which alternate contacts are connected to separate slip-rings. A spark-gap may be connected in series with the supply circuit so as to reduce sparking between the brushes and the disks. In a modified system, the oscillation condenser C2, Fig. 4, is normally isolated from both poles of the battery G1 by spark-gaps F1 ... F4, and auxiliary means, comprising a commutator z, transformers P1, P2. condensers C3, and auxiliary gaps f1 ... f4, are so arranged that at one moment the gaps F1, F2 are broken down so that the condenser C2 and coil H are connected in one direction to the battery G1, while shortly after the gaps F3, F4 are broken down so that the condenser C2 is connected to the battery in the reverse direction. Modifications of the system shown in Fig. 1 are described in which auxiliary apparatus, somewhat similar to that shown in Fig. 4, is used to break down gaps in the oscillation circuit.
