Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 15,736. Keller, K. July 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Embroidery machines. - The pantograph which controls the movement of the frame of an embroidery machine is not directly connected to the work frame but its motion is transmitted by a link parallelogram pivoted at one angle to the fixed pivot of the pantograph. The angular movements of the pantograph members which turn about the fixed pivot are communicated to the corresponding members of the transmitting- parallogram by mechanical relay devices constructed as follows. A slide 5 is mounted in an extension 1 of the pantograph member. A lever 12 is pivoted to the slide 5 and receives in a slot 14 a bowl 24 on an extension 3 of the member of the transmitting parallelogram. The lever 12 carries a pawl 16 which engages with a toothed segment on the slide 5 to lock the slide and the lever 12 together. Initially, the bowl 24 and the pivot of the lever 12 are in line, Fig. 6; a spring 15 has brought the lever 12 into the central position shown and, a screw 20 having entered a recess in the curved stop 22, the pawl 16 has locked the lever and guide together. Both arms 1, 3 are locked. A conical cam 9 moves to the right, and a spring 8 moves the guide away from the shaft. When the screw 19 impinges upon a curved stop 21, the locking-pawl 16 is removed. Upon the operation of the pantograph, the arm 1 is unlocked and is moved relatively to the arm 3, bringing the lever 12 into the position shown in Fig. 4. The arm 1 is then locked, and the arm 3 released. The cam 9 moves to the left and returns the guide towards the shaft. Immediately the screw 19 leaves the stop 21, the pawl 16 engages the segment 17, and thereafter the inclined slot 14, being locked to the arm 1, causes the arm 3 to move into line with the arm 1. At the completion of the stroke, the stop 22 releases the pawl, and the spring 15 brings the lever '12 into its central position again. The pantograph arms are locked by means of a bar extending from one of them, which passes between a fixed abutment-plate and a cam-actuated eccentric roll. The arms of the transmitting-parallelogram are locked by means of a similar bar extending from the workframe.

Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 25,347. Rayfield, C. L. Nov. 5. Spray carburettors having a throttle valve connected to an auxiliary air-inlet valve are provided with a second jet nozzle controlled by a needle valve, which is automatically adjusted with the throttle and auxiliary valves. In the form shown, the throttle valve 42, which is connected to a lower butterfly valve 43 by a link 45, controls the setting of the auxiliary air valve 90, which consists of a rotating ring controlling air ports x, by means of an arm 93 on its spindle 40, the end of which works in a slot in a pivoted cam plate 92, connected to the ring valve 90 by an adjustable coupling 99. A portion of the cam slot is concentric with the shaft 40, so that the auxiliary air valve is not moved until the throttle is open to a certain extent. An adjustable set-screw 66 in an arm 65 secured to the shaft 40, contacts with a lug 67 and limits the degree of closure of the throttle, which is also slightly cut away at one side to allow mixture to pass for slow running. The auxiliary fuel nozzle 17, which opens into a pocket at one side of the main mixing-chamber and having an air inlet 69, is controlled by the needle valve 35, this valve being operated from the throttle valve by the following means. An adjustable cam piece 49 on the throttle-valve shaft 40 actuates a rocking lever 53, having an adjustable screw contact 56 with a rotatable cam piece 60 in a sleeve 58, which is secured to a rocking shaft 37. A finger 38 on this shaft actuates the needle 35, the setting of which is adjusted by means of the screw 56. The needle may be temporarily raised, say at starting, by rotating the cam piece 60 by means of a lever. Fuel overflowing from.the main jet 31 is caught in the cup-shaped base 27 of the carburettor body, and is there vaporized by the air entering the mixing-chamber. A suction-actuated air-inlet valve 75 delivers air across the jet 31 ; by adjusting the screwed casing 78 in which it works, the tension of the springs 73, 74 which control it may be varied. The fuel supply passes a screen 14 and is controlled by a float-feed valve 19 formed with a sleeve portion 18 which slides upon the lower portion of the nozzle 17. It is operated from the float 9 by a rocking lever 23, and may be raised at starting by means of a pivoted lever 84 which actuates the rod 8. A modification is described in which the rotary sleeve 90 is replaced by a pivoted plate covering a single air orifice.
