Title: Improvements in Jacquards.
IPC: D03C3/20
Filed: 1910-02-21
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 4312. Textile Appliances, Ltd., and Carver, T. A. B. Feb. 21. Jacquards.-In a modification of the electro - magnetic jacquard described in Specification 14,345/96, all the armatures a<0>, Fig. 1, are raised d simultaneously by means of cross-bars f<1> connected by sidebars f, which are reciprocated vertically by means of a cam-actuated lever d. When the bars descend, the armaturesof the unenergized magnets descend with them and' fall into such a position that the needles p resting on them are pushed to the left by an horizontallyreciprocating grid o operated by a cam-actuated lever d<1>. The cam-shaft a is driven independently of the jacquard. The needles p are arranged in fifty vertical rows of twelve, and have upturned ends which bear against the ends of ordinary jacquard needles. The pattern-feed mechanism is driven by a friction pawl k<3>, Fig. 3, oscillated by means of an adjustable roller k<4> on a bell - crank lever k<2>. which is rocked by means of a roller engaging a cam-slot in a lever k<1>. The direction of feed of the pattern may be reversed by means of toothed wheels l, l<1>. The mechanism for intermittently raising the reader off the pattern is so arranged that, when the cover s is lifted preparatory to turning the pattern by hand, the reader is automatically raised off the pattern. The armatures a<o> of the magnets always form closed magnetic circuits with the poles and cores of the magnets. The patternfeed mechanism may be provided with an index showing the position of the pattern, such as that described in Specification 20,469/07. The movements of the griff-blades, pattern, reader, grid o, and bars f, and the variation in the strength of the energizing - current are timed relatively by the lines A, B, C, D, E, F, Fig. 2, a complete cycle of the jacquard being represented by 360 degrees. In the modified jacquard shown in Fig. 4, the grid o is carried by links o<3>, o<4>, and is so arranged that, when it swings to the right, it lifts the needles p and the armatures a<o>. When the frame o makes its return swing, the needles p corresponding to the unenergized magnets first descend with it and then are pushed to the left by projections on the grid. To facilitate access to the needles p and armatures a<o>, there is a separate removable supporting-frame q corresponding to each vertical row of the needles.

Abstract: 17,869. Thompson, D. July 27. [Cognate Application, 4717/11.] Soldering.-Filled tins of the kind described in Specification 18,727/08, which have an external gutter are sealed by soldering on the lids by immersing the tins in a solder bath until the solder enters the gutter in which a downturned flange on the lid enters. The tins x are mounted on tables d raised by springs in fixed shields a<4>, lined with asbestos or other non-conductor of heat to prevent heating of the can, the shields being contained in a solder bath a<3>, supplied with solder from a tank b through a three-way cock which in one position opens the tank to a draw - off orifice but which may be driven out in case of emergency to empty the tank. The bath may also have an emergency draw-off tap. The bath and tank are heated by electricity or by gas burners in pipes c, c<1>, c<2>, c<3>, c<4>, c<5>, the pipes c<5> being situated in extensions of the shields a<4> to prevent injury to the mechanism. The tables when in their normal position may be just below the level of the top of the shields so as to determine the position of the tins, or may be above the shields, in that case being provided with upturned holding lugs, which slide in recesses in the asbestos lining. The tables are pressed down into the position shown in Fig. 11 by spring-cushioned plungers f, which are mounted on a head e<1> moved down on guides e by a rod e<4> and spring - returned pedal lever e'. The tables are held in their lowermost position by a bevelled catch e<4*> on the rod e<4> engaging an oppositely bevelled pivoted latch g, held over it by a spring g<1>, and retracted when desired by a handle g<3>. After soldering, the tables are raised to the position in which the latch is engaged by the catch e<4**> until cooling is effected, whereupon the pressure of the plungers f is removed by releasing the catch, and the tables are raised to normal position by the springs d<3>. In order to agitate the solder adjacent to the joint, the plunger f may have a circumferential slot for guiding a segmental soldering-iron h<3> immersed in the solder, the iron having a supporting shoulder, and also side shoulders h<2*> for guiding the iron into the recess f<5*> when the operation is finished. If necessary, the iron may be heated by electrical or other means. In a modification, the plunger may be solid and the soldering-iron mounted in a rotatable arm or disk having a radial slot so that the iron may be adapted to tins of various shapes.

Title: Improvements in Millboard-machines.
IPC: D21F13/08
Filed: 1911-02-01
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 2605. Marks, E. C. R., [F³rstenheim, L., (Firm of)]. Feb. 1. Cutting-apparatus; delivery-apparatus. - In millboard machines in which the material which is deposited upon the forming-cylinder 3, Figs. 1, 4 and 7, from an endless belt 2 is cut by knives 7 moving radially in recesses 8 in the cylinder 3, the knives 7 are also given a longitudinal or axial movement so as to produce a drawing cut, for example by means of springs 12 and wedges 10, or by means of pins and inclined slots coacting with springs and bellcrank levers &c. The ends of the knives 7 are provided with rollers 21 which run on a stationary annular cam-disk 19, 48. During the cutting operation, the knife enters a slot 49 in a counter or drawing-off roller 35 geared to the cylinder 3 so that its peripheral speed is slightly higher than that of the cylinder. Each knife i has loosely mounted thereon a pushing-off rule 41, which is adapted to push the edge of the cut mill-board off the forming-cylinder and on to the roller 35; the outer edge of the rule 41 in its position of rest is flush with the periphery of the forming-cylinder. The edge of the cut millboard is attracted to the roller 35 by vacuum apparatus situated within the roller and comprising radial pipes b communicating with the hollow spindle c, the latter being connected to the vacuum pipe e having a valve f which is automatically turned on and off by the rollers 21. The movement of the knives is automatically effected by the movement of the cylinder 3 away from the driving-roller 6 due to the increase in the thickness of the millboard. The knives are normally kept in place by means of spring-pressed pivoted locks 15, which are turned aside and the knives released when a rod 29 advances into the position shown in dotted lines. The rod 29 is held back by means of a catch 32 engaging with a spring- pressed collar 31 and adapted to be tripped by a chain 33 connected to a lever 24. The shaft 13 of the cylinder is mounted in movable guides 4 suspended by the weighted lever 5, which is connected to the lever 24 by an adjustable link 28. The rod 29 is pushed back by means of cams 34. In a modification, the pushing-off rules 41 move radially and not axially, and the locks 15 are in the form of lipped catches adapted to slide and snap over the inclined faces of pivoted arms which are rocked by the rod 29.

Patent GB-191112328-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Mechanism for Impelling Pendulums or Balance Wheels.
Inventor: SHORTT WILLIAM HAMILTON
IPC: G04C3/02
Filed: 1911-05-22
Granted: 1912-05-22
Abstract: 12,328. Shortt, W. H. May 22. Escapements.-Relates to mechanism for maintaining the oscillations of a pendulum or balance by means of a gravity lever, the direction of motion of the impulse pallet on the pendulum or balance and the part of the lever that comes into contact with it being approximately at right-angles during t h e impulse period. According to this invention, these parts A, B<1> are so shaped, and the inertia of the lever B is so increased by loading it by means of bars E, E<1> disposed above and below its pivot C, that the parts A, B<1> automatically separate before the mechanism which resets the lever come into operation. The impulse begins at the mid-point of the swing, and its duration depends on and thus controls the amplitude of oscillation. The arrangement is such that if the resetting-mechanism fails, the pallet A, on its return swing, can push the lever out of the way. Electric clocks. - In the arrangements shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the impulse lever B is released and gives an impulse at every semivibration, and it is reset by means of an electro-magnet O. A roller K, Fig. 1, mounted on the pendulum, depresses a catch D to free the arm E, whereupon the lever B falls and the pin B' bears on the roller A on the pendulum. Soon after the impulse is completed, contact is made at L, L<1>, and by the attraction of the armature N of the electro-magnet the lever B is thrown up and the arm E again held by the catch. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the mechanism is beneath the pendulum-bob. In this case the catch D which holds up the lever is operated each time the releasing-pallet K on the pendulum strikes a member J. The contact L is on the spindle of the lever E. In a further modification, the impulse pallet on the pendulum is in the form of a knife-edge, which engages with a roller on the lever B, adapted to move upwards in giving an impulse. Instead of occurring at each half-swing, the release of the impulse lever may take place at longer intervals. Fig. 3 shows a device for this purpose, in which the catch D is operated by a vane S on the spindle of a ratchet-wheel R driven by the pendulum. A spring such as M, Figs. 1 and 2, is introduced behind either or both of the contact-members of the resetting-mechanism to prevent rebounding when contact is made. The electro-magnet O is rotatably mounted so that it may be adjusted with respect to the axis of its armature.
