Title: Improvements i Warp Stop Motions for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: PICK FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1905-02-24
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 3869. Pick, F. Feb. 24. Loom stop-motions; healds.-In electro-magnetic warp stop-motion mechanism, the upper and lower heald rails are connected by adjustable metallic links, and the upper rail has at its ends yielding contacts, which, when the healds descend, touch stationary contacts connected with the poles of an electric source. The lower heald rail b, Fig. 2, has top and bottom metallic strips m, n, which are electrically connected, through the metallic links connecting the rails, with the yielding contacts on the upper rail a. The healds p of twisted thread have at their lower ends slotted metal pieces q loosely surrounding the lower rail. When the healds descend and the contacts are made, pieces q are normally drawn upwards by the tension of the warps, but when a warp is broken the corresponding piece q falls on to the strip m and connects the strips m, n, thus closing the circuit and causing stoppage of the loom. In another embodiment of the invention, the strips m, n are on the upper rail a, Fig. 5, and wire healds l are used, the healds being connected to the strip m. Normally, the tension of the warps causes the healds l to bulge out and clear the strips n, but, when a warp is broken, its heald l touches the strips n and the circuit is closed.

Inventor: EUGEN POST
Filed: 1905-03-27
Abstract: 6475. Post, E. March 28, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Lift valves; piston valves; regulating discharge from valves.-A measuring-cock contains a piston which when raised allows discharge; the time taken in falling determines the quantity delivered. In the form shown in Fig. V, a solid piston is used, having a rubber end l for closing the discharge pipe b. The piston works past a cup-leather o, and has a fine passage m into which an adjusting screw projects. When the piston is raised, the liquid above it is forced past the cup-leather, but while the piston falls liquid can only enter the space above it through the passage m. By means of the screw shown, the time of fall and amount delivered can be varied. In a modification, a hollow piston is used without the cup-leather or passage but with circumferential openings near the bottom to allow discharge in the raised position. Air is expelled through a valve on the piston rising, but can only re-enter by an adjustable passage in the cover when the piston falls.

Abstract: 1069. Kehrhahn, A. H. Jan. 15. Hides and skins, raw, treating.-In a machine for treating hides, the working tool is narrow and capable of lateral displacement while the tool is either operative or inoperative. In one arrangement, the tool 11 is carried upon the feathered shaft 40, along which it may be moved to the right or left by means of a catch-piece 41 and a screwed shaft 42 driven in either direction by belts on the pulley 43. When a strip of the hide has been treated, the tool is rendered inoperative by raising the supporting-roller 16, the tool is displaced for a distance nearly equal to its length, and the direction of rotation of the feeding-roller 18 is reversed until the hide has been restored to its original position, when the feeding-roller is again changed and the supporting-roller lowered in order to render the working tool operative. Instead of the hide being brought back to its original position, one strip may be treated while the hide is being introduced and the succeeding strip during its withdrawal ; or the tool may be made to move continuously from one side to the other while the hide is drawn to and fro between the two rollers. The shaft of the working tool is preferably capable of a slight bending in order that the working tool may accommodate itself to the unevenness of the hide. In another arrangement, the tool roller 11 is provided with hollow trunnions, is journaled in a support 46, and may be displaced on the support 46 by means of a screw spindle 48. Instead of a feather being used, rotary movement may be imparted to the tool roller by other means, and its advance may be effected by hand or otherwise.
