Abstract: 17,691. Fiddes, J., and Watt, J. F. Aug. 7. Sprinklers, automatic.-In dry-pipe systems, an auxiliary outlet for the compressed air is provided, in order to obtain an immediate discharge of water on the opening of a sprinkler head. A branch connexion B from any part of the sprinkler supply pipes, but preferabiy from the end farthest from the main water valve, is adapted to communicate through a diaphragm valve A with an auxiliary air outlet C. The valve A opens on the escape of compressed air from the tubing B' of a pneumatic fire-alarm system, which may be of the kind described in Specifications Nos. 2772, 2772A. 11,042, and 11,043, A.D. 1904, and No. 3955, A.D. 1905. Compressed air then escapes from the sprinkler supply pipes through the outlet C, and the pipes become filled with water, ready to be discharged immediately the sprinkler heads are actuated. In the outlet C is a valve c, modified forms of which are shown in Figs. 2 and 3, adapted to permit the escape of air but to prevent escape of water. Other devices may be used instead of the valve c.

Title: Improvements in Looms for the Production of Chenille Yarn or Ribbons of Chenille Fabric.
Inventor: HAHN SAMUEL
Filed: 1906-11-15
Granted: 1908-01-15
Abstract: 25,805. Hahn, S. Nov. 15. Chenille ; cross - woven fabrics.-A fabric, which is adapted to be cut into strips to form chenille, is wovenwith wefts p, Fig. 8, thick warps o, thin warps i, k, and twisting warps g, h. In the weaving operation, the warps o, of which one is used tor each chenille strip, are passed up between the warps i, k, a weft p is then passed under the warps o and over the other warps, the warps o are lowered to form loops in the weft, the warps i, k are crossed, and the warps g, h are twisted round them. The weft is then beaten up. Looms, hand-power ; shedding-motions; healds; warps, twisting ; beat-up motions; lays ; reeds.- In a loom for weaving the fabrics described above, the warps o pass through the eyes of needles n, Fig. 12, mounted on a slide-bar, which is raised and lowered by treadle mechanism. The warps g, h pass through holes in tubes b, a respectively, the tube b being mounted to rotate in a fixed bearing and the tube a being mounted to rotate in the tube b. The tubes a, b are provided with spur teeth c, d, which gear with similar teeth on adjacent pairs of tubes, the end tubes being arranged to be rotated alternately in opposite directions by spurwheels actuated by a suitably-operated rack. The warps i, k pass through holes in suitably-arranged slide-bars i<1>, k<1>, which are reciprocated in opposite directions by links connected to diametricallyopposite points on a disk on the shaft of the rackactuated spur-wheel. The warps i, k pass through the central holes of the tubes a, b, and when the needles n are raised, the warps i are at one side of the axes of the tubes, while the warps k are at the other side. At the same time, the warps g, h are in the same plane as the warps i, k, and are at the same side or opposite sides of the axes of the tubes, so that vertical sheds are formed for the passage of the needles n. When the needles n are lowered after the insertion of a weft, the warps i, k are crossed by the movement of the bars i<1>, k<1>, and the warps g, h are twisted round them by the rotation of the tubes b, a. The bars i<1>, k<1> may be dispensed with, and the warps i, k passed through loops on the interior of the tube a, the warps g, h passing through holes or loops in the tube b, or as before. The warps i, k may otherwise be passed through holes in the tubes a, b respectively, or may be shed by healds. A single twisting warp may be employed if desired. The wefts p are beaten up by open teeth u<2> secured to the lower part of a lay u<1>, the teeth passing up between the warp threads as the lay is moved forwards. The warps are pressed down by the enlarged lower ends of guided bars w on the lay, the bars w being depressed successively by a cranked part of a slide-bar v<2>, which is moved longitudinally by hand or mechanically at the proper times.
