Abstract: 16,924. Wilson, A., and British Cotton and Wool Dyers' Association. July 24. Cop type. - In apparatus for dyeing and bleaching yarns, rovings, &c. in cheese or like form on perforated tubes, by forcing liquor through them, open-ended tubes are used and a disk having a small rod projecting from its centre is used to close the end of each tube, the rod entering the tube, preferably without filling it up, and the disk being held in position against the cheese during the treatment. The open-ended perforated tubes a project from and through the walls f of an inner chamber l; the cheeses b and disks d with rods e having been placed in position, the doors h, j of outer chambers g are closed, and, in so doing, press the disks against the cheeses. A small clearance k at the top of the doors, which is preferably less in area than the cross-sectional area of the tubes a, provides a means of escape for the liquid forced through the cheeses b from the middle chamber l. The middle chamber is provided with a seating which makes a watertight joint with a pipe leading to a pump and situated in the bottom of the dye-vat into which the apparatus is lowered bodily. The number of chambers g and doors h, j may vary. If small cheeses are treated, their axial length is made up by wooden washers n. The disks d are preferably concentrically corrugated.

Abstract: 91. Helm, M. Jan. 1. Winding-machines; thread-guides.-Coils, for instance electro-magnetic or resistance coils, comprise windings laid simultaneously, one or more windings, for example of wire w, Fig. 1, being laid in closely adjacent helical coils, and the other windings, for example of insulating- material such as yarn y, being laid in diagonal or open coils on the " universal " or V-wind system and intermingling with and weaving in and out among the close coils. The coil is preferably wound on a tube on a spindle b, Figs. 3 and 4, suitably driven and connected to a cam-shaft c in well-known manner, the shaft c carrying cams C, C<1> for reciprocating the yarnguide G and wire-guide H respectively, the cam C being fast on the shaft and the cam C' being mounted on a sleeve c<2> thereon. A ratchet-wheel F secured to the cam C' and mounted on the sleeve is driven by a pawl R pivoted in a rocker-arm N straddling the wheel and connected by a link r with a lever s carrying a roll s<1> bearing on a cam U on the winding- spindle, which thus drives the cam C' at a slow speed. The movement of the lever s, and consequently the speed of the cam C', is varied by turning a disk V eccentrically mounted on a stud v journaled in a bracket T and bearing against the lever S. The roll s<1> is maintained in contact with the cam U by a spring q which also presses a shoe q<1> against the stud v to provide resistance to the turning of the disk. The rocker-arm N is controlled by a spring plate P carried by a member o pivoted in a bracket 0 and carrying a roll p bearing against the ratchet-wheel to prevent accidental movement thereof. The guides G, H are carried on rods K, L attached to blocks k, l carrying studs k<1>, l<1> engaging the grooves in the cams C, C<1> respectively, and are maintained constantly in contact with the coil by counterweighted frames D, E pivoted on the cam-shaft and upon which they are supported; springs d<1>, e<1> arranged between the guides and frames D, E allow of slight movement of the guides, which are arranged on opposite sides of the winding- spindle as shown. The cam C may be arranged to give a slightly longer traverse than that given by the cam C', so that layers of insulating- material are wound to extend beyond the layers of wire at each end of the coil.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Reciprocating Mechanisms particularly applicable to Printing Presses and the like.
Inventor: MCCAIN CYRUS ALFRED
IPC: B41F3/58
Filed: 1913-02-27
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 4995. McCain, C. A. Feb. 27. Bed-reciprocating apparatus. - In bed-reciprocating mechanism for printing - presses and the like, comprising a reciprocating member and two crank-pins or their equivalent for actuating it, the reciprocating member is rigidly secured to a link having loose or slotted connexion with the crank-pins, or has other direct and permanent connexion with them without any intervening articulated parts, so that it is given a throw in excess of the throw of the crank-pins. Additional driving-means, such as wheels gearing with racks on the bed, may be combined with this mechanism for driving the bed at a uniform speed through part of its stroke, the crank - actuated member being arranged to retard and accelerate the bed on its reversals. In the machine shown, the bed 29 is driven backwards and forwards alternately through the uniform-speed portions of its motion by the constantly rotating intermeshing gearwheels 53, 54, journaled on a hanger 52 rocked at the proper time to bring either gear-wheel into engagement with the rack on the bed by means of the cam 59. The gear-wheels 53, 54 carry crank-pins 70, 71 engaging slots 68, 69 in a bar 66 which has a stud 67 having a reciprocatory motion of greater extent than the throw of the crank-pins. The stud 67 is coupled with the bed at the ends of the strokes, by vertically-sliding latches 77, 78 on the bed depressed by means of studs 81, 82 engaging cam-tracks 83, 86 and 84, 87, Fig. 3, on the machine frame. The position of the parts when the bed is approaching one end of its stroke is shown in Fig. 13. The gear-wheel 54 has been in mesh with the bed for a complete revolution, and continues so for a further thirty degrees, since the motion of the stud 67 remains constant and equal to that of the bed during this distance, after which the hanger is rocked to release the gear-wheel and the bed is coupled with the stud, which brings the bed to rest during the next sixty degrees rotation of the crank-pins but in a gradual manner owing to its elongated throw. In similar manner the bed is accelerated to its uniform speed during the next sixty degrees of rotation. The uniform-speed length of stroke during which printing may be effected is therefore increased without increasing the dimensions of the parts. Or the proportions and dimensions of the parts may be varied so that the whole of the rotation of the crank-pins through 180 degrees may be utilized to retard and accelerate the bed.
