Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 3831. Elbert, A. Feb. 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Drying fibres, yarns, and materials in long lengths.-In drying fibres or threads in length, use is made of a skeleton drum on to which the thread is continuously wound in one plane perpendicular to the axis of the drum while it is continuously wound off in another plane, parallel to the first. The periphery of the drum is divided into two groups of rods r, of which both groups are moved both radially and parallel to the axis of the drum, so as alternately to grasp the wound-on fibres and give them up again at the same time moving them parallel to the axis of the drum. One series II of rods r being fixed in two disks c the other system I is guided by means of radial slots in the disks c and also by end and slot cam disks d so that the rods, while always remaining parallel to themselves, move (1) radially outwards, (2) axially, (3) radially inwards, and (4) axially oppositely to (2). In this way the helix of thread on the drum is being continually moved axially of the drum. The cams d are driven by differential gear h, i, g from the main shaft l so as to have a lag of, say, one-twelfth, and, in order to secure exact action and minimize wear, one cam-disk acts under a spring k. According to a modification both groups I, II of rods move similarly but alternately.

Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 26,752. Krumper, F. Nov. 29. Shuttles.-In a shuttle provided with a device that breaks the weft when a warp thread is broken or slack and thus causes the weft stopmotion to act, the broken or slack warp thread turns a lever 12, Figs. 1 and 3, having a notched head 16, thus allowing a spring-pressed bolt 9 with a thread slot 19 to slide in a guideway 6 and clamp the weft, so that this is broken by the further movement of the shuttle. The shuttle is threaded by drawing the weft round a plate 20, Figs. 1 and 4, and into a slot 18 and then passing the weft round a nose 21 and round a part 24, which is so arranged that, when the weft is again drawn towards the tip of the shuttle, a loop of weft is drawn into the eye 23.

The punch and needle are then lifted to allow the eyelet to receive a cap y, Fig. 8, placed there by hand or mechanically, the cap being pressed on the eyelet by the punch b descending again by itself. The material rests against a stop f<2>, Fig. 3, on a movable table f over a slot f<1> which allows the passage of the needle, the table being withdrawn when the material is engaged by the punch. Fasteners, feeding.-The eyelets are fed along a slot in. a table v and are pushed along a guide v' to the punch o by a slide r, the eyelet being then positioned by the mandrel o<1>. The caps y are fed along a similar table w and are lifted by spring gripping-fingers 1, 2 carried by a spring-pressed bolt 6 pushed downwards into engagement with the cap by a punch t. The bolt 6 is carried by an arm 5 which rotates about an axle 4 to place the cap on the eyelet located in the material. Diving-mechanism.-The needle a is moved independently of the punch b, which is actuated by levers k, k<1> rocked by a cam l on a shaft h, by an angle-lever g rocked by a cam i and connected to the needle by a link g<1>. Another cam n reciprocates the table f through a lever n<1>. The mandrel o<1> is pressed down by a spring o<2> and is moved upwards by a lever p<1> actuated by a cam p, Fig. 3.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Pressure Regulating Means.
Inventor: LLOYD ERNEST FREDERICK
IPC: G05D16/16
Filed: 1912-01-06
Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 482. Lloyd, E. F. Jan, 6. Pressure - regulating valves. - A pressureregulating valve is provided with means for causing a drop of pressure at a point in the outlet, whereby the load on the pressure - regulating means is made to vary, the outlet pressure thus varying with the volume of flow in the outlet. The pressureregulating means comprises a valve 4 and diaphragm 8 controlled by. a master valve, as shown in Fig. 3. The weighted diaphragm attached to the spindle 18 of the master valve is subject to the outlet pressure through a pipe 34, and the spindle 18 moves in response to the variations of this pressure to connect the upper or lower surfaces of the diaphragm 8 with fluid from the inlet side 2 of the main conduit. The pressure from the inlet side of the conduit flows through a pipe 17 and inlet 28 to outlets 27 or 24, connected to pipes 15, 13 respectively, these outlets being controlled by valves 21, 20 on the valve spindle 18. To vary the outlet pressure as the volume of flow in the outlet 3 increases, a handoperated valve 37 is provided, a Venturi-pipe 38, 39 being arranged on either side of it. Pipes 40, 43 connected to different points of the Venturi-tube communicate with the upper and lower sides of a diaphragm 42. An increase in the velocity pressure in the Venturi-pipe is communicated to the diaphragm 42, a float 48 carried thereby forcing some of the mercury in the float chamber 46 through a pipe 49 to the chamber 50 above the diaphragm of the master valve. The master valve is accordingly loaded more heavily, and the diaphragm 8 of the valve 4 in the main conduit is regulated for an increased pressure.

Pedestals and stands. -In portable standards for electric lamps and the like of the kind in which the lamp &c. support comprises a rod clamped to a pivotal mounting by a single clamping - device the release of which permits the rod to be moved longitudinally in the mounting, and also permits the rotation of the mounting, the clamping-device is arranged to permit one adjustment while preventing the other if desired. The arm 17 carrying the reflector 11 and the lamp is slidably mounted in a piece 40, Fig. 5, which is rotatably and slidably mounted in a head 31 pivotally mounted in the standard 28. The piece 40 has a threaded end 39 which engages a nut 48, and its other end is surrounded by a cap 42 which has a notched edge 44 to engage similar notches on the head 31. When the device is in the position shown, on slightly turning the nut 48, the piece 40 is moved longitudinally by the spring 46, and the arm 17 is freed and may be moved longitudinally. On further turning the nut, the cap 42 is disengaged from the head 31, and may be rotated. In order that the head 31 may be held in any position on the standard 28, it is provided with a shank 32 carrying washers 33 between which is interposed a spring 34. The end of the shank 32 is threaded and carries a nut 35 in order that the tension of the spring 34 may be adjusted. The base 29 is preferably made hollow and weighted by a casting 30, Fig. 2. The lamp socket 15 is secured to an ornamental casing 10 having a rib 16 over which takes a spring latch 14 attached to the reflector 11.
