Title: Improvements in or Applicable to Machines in which Yarn or Thread is Wound upon Bobbins or Spools.
Inventor: ARUNDEL HENRY BIRKBY
Filed: 1897-03-27
Granted: 1898-03-05
Abstract: 7968. Arundel, H. B., and Higginson, J. March 27. Doubling, twisting, and winding machines.-Relates to the invention described in Specification No. 6005, A.D. 1895. Several arrangements are described for actuating and regulating the traverse of the supplementary lifting-rail k. In Fig. 1 the reciprocating-lever k<9> is connected by the cord &c. k<6> to a horizontal arm of the lever k<1>, which is adjustable in length by means of a pin and slot arrangement, as shown. Or the vertical arm of the lever k<1> may be prolonged, or the adjustable horizontal arm may be prolonged and bent and caused to engage with a fixed or adjustable incline on the frame. A two-armed lever may be interposed between the vertical arm of k<1> and the incline. The latter may be made automatically adjustable as the bobbin fills by means of a ratchet arrangement operated from the lifting-rail. Other arrangements involve the adjustment of the fulcrum or of the point of attachment of the cord k<6> with the lever k<9>. Or one end of the cord k<6> may be secured to the frame and the other end to a pulley carried by a bracket on the lifting-rail, a second pulley turning with the first being connected by a second cord with the lever k<1>. Or the lever k' may be connected to a sliding block on a lever oscillated from the lifter shaft, a ratchet mechanism and heart cam being so arranged that after each reciprocation of the lever the block is moved either towards or from the fulcrum of the lever so as to alter the traverse of the supplementary rail. The lower end of the cord may be fixed and the other attached to a block sliding in one arm of the lever k<1>, which is curved and slotted for this purpose. This sliding block arrangement is shown in Fig. 18, as applied to apparatus for regulating the oscillations of the copping-shaft c<4> in spinning and doubling frames. The heart cam d operates a bell-crank lever c<7> carrying the sliding block l, which is connected with the copping-shaft c<4>. The slide is operated in one direction by a spring and in the other by a heart cam e<3>, which is rotated by the ratchet arrangement shown at each reciprocation of the lever c'. In other arrangements, the supplementary rail is carried by vertical rods, which traverse hollow racks operated by gearing from the lifter shaft, the internal rods being raised to a higher level when required by means of a lever system or rack and spur gearing regulated by cam and ratchet gearing. The supplementary lifting- rail, which may be hollow or solid, is fitted with T-shaped thread-guides, which are screwed into the rail so as to be adjustable in height ; and the rail is carried by arms from a shaft supported by, and extending the length of, the ordinary lifting- rail.

Granted: 1898-07-14
Abstract: 16.737. Steiner, J. J., and Gutekunst, J. July 14. Striking-mechanism ; repeating-mechanism.-The hour - snail i, attached to the rayed wheel i<3> upon the all-or-nothing piece i<1>, is driven by pins g<2> on one of the wheels of the motionwork, and the quarter snail with a star e' is geared to the same or another wheel of the motion-work. The ordinary rack is replaced by a sector a geared with a ratchet-wheel c bearing 17 teeth. The sector contains a spindle b furnished with a plate b<1> which is pressed by a spring b<2>. Two pins b<3> on this spindle bear on the snails, and the object of mounting it with a spring action is to allow it to yield to the hour-snail when the hands are turned backwards. The lifting-piece l, m, operated by the quarter-snail star e', lifts the rackhook d and a detent holding the train, whereupon the sector, urged by a spring a<2>, turns to the quarter snail while the train is held by the moving piece m<3>. When the lifting-piece is freed and falls, the rack hook d with the detent drops until a pin d<3> on the former rests on the end of the all-or-nothing piece i<1>, in which position the ratchet-wheel is engaged again, but the train is free. As the gathering-pallet o turns the ratchetwheel c, pins on a wheel n<4> geared to the gathering- pallet actuate the three hammers through thrust rods p<3>, p<4>, extending from cramps p<2>. A cam c' attached to the ratchet-wheel c holds the thrust rod of the hour hammer above the pins on the wheel while the quarters are struck, and cams c<3> similarly hold the quarter hammers out of action while the hours are struck. The going and the striking trains are driven by the same mainspring.

Title: Improvements in Coin-freed Locks for use on the Doors of Places where a Charge is made for Admission.
Inventor: BLACK JOHN MELTON
Filed: 1900-05-07
Granted: 1901-05-04
Abstract: 8418. Black, J. M. May 7. Door fastenings.-Fig. 4 shows a rear elevation of the fastening, and Fig. 7 a plan of the bolt head in the staple. On turning downwards a handle c<2>, which springs back when released, and is usually available after detachment of a detent by means of a coin, a slide h engaged in a slot h<6> by a crank-pin h<5> moves both ways with it, and a projection thereon draws the bolt m, after first shifting relatively an incomplete sleeve n upon it so as to expose a notch o' into which a pawl o<2> drops. On now opening the door to enter the apartment, the bolt is displaced slightly further by the bevelled edge x of the staple, and the sleeve n, pulled by a spring n<5>, recovers its place over the notch o<1>, so that the bolt is free to shoot home under the pull of the spring m<7>, when the door is closed after entering the apartment to which it admits. A quadrant i turned by a pin h<7> in the slide operates a counter i<3>. Complete to-and-fro action of the slide h is ensured by the passage of a lug h<8> over and under a pivoted rack h<9>, set by a spring h<10>. In order to leave the apartment, an inner handle is turned downwards, and the bolt is drawn by a lever p<1> acting on a pin p. If the attendant in charge desires to enter the apartment, he can open the door by a key inserted at a hole s and operating a lever s'. His action is registered by a counter t<1>. But, having closed the door, he cannot enter a second time without using the external handle c<2>, because a branch s<5> of the lever brmgs down a slide q against the pull of a spring q<5>, and the lever itself leaves a pawl r' in engagement with the slide. If, by collusion, a person is admitted without use of the external handle, he cannot get out of his own accord, because this handle must be operated to make a projection h<6> of the slide h disengage the pawl r'. In the action by the external handle a bevel j of the slide h runs under a branch k of a vertical slide, which is accordingly raised to bring a notice " Engaged in front of a fixed notice "Vacant," while in the action by the internal handle the vertical slide q is thrust down by a lever p' and a pin q<2> on it brings back the indicator slide k. This slide is held raised by a spring-pressed projection.
