Filed: 1905-11-30
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 24,824. Steward, J. A. Nov. 30. Metal, sheet, seaming and joining.-A machine for seaming cans has a hollow driving-shatt D, Figs. 1 and 2, which is continuously driven by bevel-gearing and is provided at the end with a seaming-head D<5> in which three or more rollercarrying slides E are slidably mounted. Passing through the hollow shaft is a fixed shaft B, held from rotation by an arm B<1> fixed to the machine and carrying at its end a cam-plate C' in which rollers E' fitted on the slides E run. Seaming- rollers H are mounted on carriers F running in grooves on the slides E, and are made to approach the work by means of cams G. These cams are carried on rods attached to a plate I forming part of a sleeve I', surrounding the shaft D and operated by a lever I<2> pivoted to the pillar A of the machine. The cams G are so arranged that the rollers H, which are of varying configuration, act successively on the work, The lever P is moved by a cam J on a shaft J<1>, driven by reduction gearing from the driving-pulley K of the machine through a onerevolution clutch, shown in detail in Fig. 18. The toothed wheel L, which is driven continuously, has a number of holes into which a pin L<4> is pressed by a spring L<7>. A bar N' normally holds the pin out of engagement, and on depression of a lever O<4> a roller O<2> rides on a cam-flange M' and the bar N<1> releases the pin. At the end of one revolution, the roller O<2> reaches the portion M<2> of the flange and moves inwards, thus pushing the bar N' back into position and pulling the pin L<4> out of engagement. The work to be operated upon is mounted on a bead Q<1> on the shaft Q. The operating- lever P of the machine first raises the shaft Q and thus puts the work into position to be acted upon by the rollers, and then operates the clutch lever O<4>, by means of which the cam J is slowly rotated and the seaming-rollers put into action. Specifications Nos. 885 and 9980, A.D. 1904, are referred to.

Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 5925. British Northrop Loom Co., and Hollins, D. M. March 12. Loom weft-replenishing mechanism ; stop-motions. -In weft-feeler mechanism, of the kind described in Specification No. 26,087, A.D. 1903, for actuating weft-replenishing or stop-motion mechanism before complete exhaustion of the weft in the shuttle, a finger b is pivoted on the feeler H or on a part adjacent thereto, and, when the adjustable bunter of the controlling-device H<1>, which is pivoted on the feeler, is pressed forwards by the shuttle or the shuttle box on substantial exhaustion of the weft, the member H<2> of the controlling-device depresses the finger b, which in turn rocks the centrallypivoted lever G and thereby raises a pivoted latch on an arm on the ordinary rock-shaft into the path of the weft-hammer, so that the latch is moved forwards and the rock-shaft is rotated partly to effect the stoppage of the loom or the actuation of the weft-replenishing mechanism. As the finger b is inclined in the opposite direction to the member H<2>, it bears with increased pressure on the lever G as the feeler is moved forwards, so that the lever G is held in its displaced position until the device H<1> is released. The finger b may be used in conjunction with weit-feeler mechanism of any similar type.

Patent GB-190617923-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Jacks.
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1906-08-09
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 17,923. Marks, G. C., [Nelson, J. W.]. Aug. 9. Lifting-jacks and the like.-In hydraulic lifting and lowering appliances, and particularly in multiple - pump hydraulic jacks in which the plungers are parallel to one another, the valves and fluid passages are arranged so that only one communicating passage common to all the pumps is formed between the reservoir and ram chamber. In Fig. 1, the invention is shown applied to a known type of horizontal jack, with the ram cylinder 7 screwed into the casing 6 and the pump block secured therein by a screwed ring 9. A slider 13, carrying two parallel pump plungers preferably of different sizes, is operated in the usual way by a knuckle on the shaft 12, which is rocked by a hand-lever inserted in a slot at the outer end. The valves are all arranged in a straight line, with the stem of each nearly touching the head of the adjacent valve under normal conditions. The valve 28 is pressed normally against its seating by a spring enclosed in the pump block by a screwed cap 23, while the stem of the valves 35 can be depressed, when required, by the hand - wheel and screwed spindle 40 mounted in the screwed inspection cap 39 of the casing. The larger pump bore is connected by a duct to the valve passage at a point between the valves 32, 35, while the duct from the smaller bore communicates with the passage between the valves 28, 32. At the commencement of the lifting operation, when both pumps are employed, the plungers are drawn outwards, thereby causing liquid from the reservoir 10 to unseat the valves 35, 32 and pass along the ducts into the pump bores. On the return stroke, the liquid from both bores is forced back into the valve passage, and thence unseats the valves 32, 28 and passes into the ram chamber. To put the'larger pump out of action, the valve 35 is held off its seat by depressing the screwed spindle 40, thereby allowing free communication between the larger pump bore and the reservoir. On depression of the spindle still further, each valve bears against the adjacent one and thus all the valves are held off their seats, and free communication is provided between the ram chamber and the reservoir, for lowering the ram.
