Abstract: 25,726. Paget, Sir R. A. S. Nov. 8. Steering and balancing, band-levers for. The hand-levers A are provided with adjustable armrests B, and are connected to the ends of a curved bar C, which passes under the seat of the operator, and is pivoted at D to a second curved bar E. The bar E is mounted to move about a vertical pivot F which is mounted on a sleeve G rotatable about a longitudinal pivot H. The bar E is connected at the points I to the rudder, so that this is operated by moving the bar about its vertical pivot F. The sleeve G is provided with an arm K connected to the lateral balancing - members. The lower end L of the bar C is connected to the elevator. One of the pivots F, H may be suppressed if it is desired to actuate the rudder or balancing- members independently, as by a foot-lever. The steering-head may comprise a transverse bar with handles and arm-rests instead of the bar passing under the seat of the operator. The connexions between the steering-head and the planes are arranged to obtain mimetic or instinctive control. According to one method, the connexions are arranged so that the steering-head is moved by the operator in the direction in which the machine is desired to move. In another arrangement, the steering-head is considered as an abutment, by reaction against which the rider pushes himself in the direction in which the machine should move to regain stability. In the second method the connexions are the reverse of those of the first method.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Cop-winding Machines.
Inventor: ALEXANDER ALBERT EDGAR
IPC: B65H54/14
Filed: 1911-01-18
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 1320. Alexander, A. E., [Kip, F. E.]. Jan. 18. Winding - machines; stop - motions; driving- arrangements; tension arrangements.-In copwinding machines of the type in which a slitdrum thread - guide lays the thread upon a spindle which is continuously shifted axially, the slit-drum is mounted on a shaft driven through friction gearing, the driven member of which rests by gravity upon the driving-member and is raised from it to stop the machine by a lever carrying a brake member; this lever is normally held in inoperative position by a locked rock-shaft, which is adapted to be released either when the required amount of thread is wound upon the cop or when the thread breaks. The spindle 7, Fig. 3, upon which the yarn is wound direct, or upon which the bobbin or cop tube is placed, is suspended in a loose collar 10 pivotally supported in a slide block 12, which moves vertically along a guide 15, as the cop is built up, an adjustably supported cone roller 8, on which the surface of the thread rests, causing the spindle to rise. The lower end of the spindle is squared and engages a corresponding hole in a sleeve 16, Fig. 11, supported in ball bearings 18 and connected to the hub 19 of a gear 20 engaged by a gear 22 on the shaft 23 of the slit drum 28. The shaft 23 is arranged to slide longitudinally in its bearings, and is driven through the friction gears 30, 31. The gear 30 is adapted to be lifted from the gear 31 to stop the winding bv a brake member 34 at one end of a weighted lever 32. This lever is normally held in inoperative position by a link 39 and an arm 38 on a rock shaft 36, which shaft is locked in position by a pivoted keeper 41 engaging a latch 40 on the shaft. The rock shaft 36 can be operated by a handle 37 to bring the gears 30, 31 into re-engagement. To stop the winding when the required amount of thread has been wound, a lever 45 is connected to the spindle carrier 12 and is moved with it until a cam surface 48, adjustably secured to a rod 47 depending from the lever, moves a pin 26 on the keeper 41 sufficiently to free the latch 40 and allow the weight 35 to operate the lever 32 and lift the gear 30. When the thread breaks, a lever 25 supported by it falls, bringing a projection on it into the path of a cam on the shaft 23. The lever 25, which is pivoted on the pin 26, is thereby dragged with the keeper 41 to release the latch 40. To ensure a positive movement of the lever 25, it is engaged by an arm on a rod 52 normally pressed down by a spring 56 in a casing 53. The thread passes through a tension arrangement 24 comprising two felt-faced disks pressed together by a slight spring. The slot in the winding-drum is not a true spiral, the central portion of each hatf being substantially straight.

Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 6553. Barnier A., and Martin, H. March 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Feeding webs; delivery apparatus; cutting- apparatus.-In an addressing-machine a paper strip passes from a roll 9 over tensioning and looping devices and round an impression cylinder 21, where it is printed on by address type in a galley 26 moving step by step transversely, and by a postmarking-stamp, after which it passes to rotary printing-wheels 22, 22<1>, which print fixed matter, and web-feeding rolls 23, 24 and is finally cut by blades 25 and delivered in suitable lengths printed side up through a guide 95. Means for stopping the machine at the end of a series of addresses, and also when a galley is finished, and for inking the type are described. In the movement of the roller 21 to the right the strip 9 is rolled over one of the addresses in the galley 26 and over the postmarking head 70. During this movement a looping-roller 19 is caused by a weight 16 suspended on a spring band passing over the eccentric 17, to put a tension on the web as it is taken up by the roller 21. The rotary printing wheel 22 carries plates to print fixed matter, such as the name of a magazine, and is driven by gearing from the shaft of the feed roll 23 and at the same peripheral speed. The roll 23 is driven through change-speed gearing from a ratchet-wheel 44 in gear with a rack 43 on the slide 30, so that the paper is fed forward intermittently for a length equal to either a quarter, one half, three quarters, or the whole of the circumference of the roller. After this, a cutter operated by a cam through rod 59, spring 61, lever 58, link 64 and lever 63, and suitably adjusted in position, cuts off the printed wrapper, which slides down the slide 95. If desired, the cutting-mechanism may be rendered idle, and the printed strip rolled up for future use. On the right-hand side of the galley 26 a pin is fixed at such a point that, when the addresses have all been printed, it engages a pivoted lever and turns a shaft which releases a trigger and thereby operates a clutch 35, thus stopping the machine. On the lefthand side of the galley 26 is placed a wooden strip bearing pins which engage a second pivoted lever, by which the clutch is also operated as before, and also a bell, indicating that the last of a certain series of addresses has been printed. A tab N may then be pasted on this slip and the machine is re-set by hand.
