Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Hair and like Cloth.
Inventor: TURNER LUTHER
IPC: D03D41/00
Filed: 1912-05-06
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 10,736. Turner, L., Slack, E., and Slack, G. May 6. Weft-inserters not carrying bobbins, cops, or the like, looms with; feeding hairs and like short-length materials singly from bundles to looms.-Hairs or bristle substitutes contained in a vertical box 22, Figs. 1 and 7, on the lay are abstracted therefrom, one at a time, and laid in a shed by a nipper or feeding-device comprising a rod 5, Figs. 3 and 4, having spring jaws or clips 5<a> at its end, the rod 5 moving within a hollow picking-rod 4, Figs. 1, 3, and 4, whereby the jaws are opened and closed. The rod 5 passes through the carriage 3 of the picking-rod, and is connected to a cross-head 6 having pins 7 sliding in a carriage 3. The picking-rod 4 is moved in a guide 2a on the lay by cam-controlled lever mechanism, and, at the end of its inward travel, the pins 7 come into contact with a stop 38 on the lay, whereby the cross-head 6 is stopped and, the carriage 3 continuing to move, a spring-controlled finger 10 carried thereby springs over a roller 8 on the cross-head 6 and the jaws close, thus gripping a hair &c. When the picking-rod returns, the cross-head 6 contacts with an adjustable stop 39, and the finger 10 snaps back to the position shown in Fig. 1, the jaws opening and releasing the hair &c., which is thus left in the shed. One of the jaws 5<a> has a recess 11 into which the opposing jaw enters, this latter jaw having a small cross slot or recess 12 to limit the number of hairs &c. taken. The hair &c. is held in the box 22, Figs. 1 and 7, by a spring-pressed back 24, surrounded by a string 25 connected to a spring- controlled lever 26 mounted on one of the laysvrords, whereby the hair &c. is fed towards the face of the box. The back 24 has projections 24<a> entering grooves 22<a> in the sides of the box, which is supported by a pin 29 on the laysword 28, the upper part of the box being connected by a link 30<a> to a, bell-crank 30 actuated by a rod 32 and a lever controlled by a cam-groove in a catch-wheel 36. This wheel is turned intermittently by a tooth on the sword 28, and the hair-box is thereby moved slowly at right-angles to the sword and lay. The hair-box may be provided with an upturned projection, which can be passed through a vertical slot in a board 50 mounted by means of brackets on the pin 29. A latch holds the box in position, while, by turning a hand-screw 55, a nut 57 projecting through a slot 58 in the board into a recess in the side of the hair-box may be caused to travel and adjust the distance of the box from the nipper. Projections on the lay engage, at each beat-up, with the vertical parts of spring-controlled trimming- jaws 44, which are thereby closed on fixed adjustable jaws, whereby the hair ends extending from the cloth are cut off and fall into a box. Wire guides 48 guide the hair ends into the jaws of the trimming-devices.

Patent GB-191214350-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Shoe Upper Lacing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D11/08
Filed: 1912-06-19
Granted: 1913-07-21
Abstract: 14,350. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. June 19. Tying or knotting.-In a machine for lacing boot or shoe uppers preparatory to lasting, a number of independent lengths of lacing-cord are passed simultaneously through a corresponding number of pairs of eyelet-holes, and the ends of each length of cord are secured together to form a lacing. The machine described inserts and ties three lacing-cords. Each cord x, Fig. 11, passes through a guide o<4> and under a tension wire o' on a cord and knife carrying slide C before passing through a hole k<4> into a passage through which a hooked needle c for engaging the cord passes. At the beginning of the operation of the machine, each of the three needles is reciprocated by a cam to engage its cord and to draw it into the position shown in Fig. 11. Loopers h with shoulders h<9> are then lifted by the upward movement of a cam-operated slide B and cause each cord to take an M-shape, the middle depression of the M being formed by a finger i carried on a vertically movable slide. While in this position the loopers are turned, through pinions engaging with a cam - moved rack, through an angle of 180 degrees, thus forming closed loops at the tops of the M. The loopers and the fingers are next moved downwards in unison until the loops are opposite a second set of needles d, when the loopers h are turned through a further angle of 90 degrees. The needles d move outwards through the loops, which are at the same time moved from the shoulders of the loopers by stripping-devices, and the loopers h return to their original position. The upper is then arranged with its pairs of eyelets over the ends of the needles d, the clutch of the machine being automatically thrown out to permit this to be done. The position at this stage is shown in Fig. 18. On re-starting the machine, the cord and knife carrier C is depressed to its lowest limit, and a brake lever o for each cord is automatically brought into operation by this movement. In this position the needles carrying the loops are in alinement with holes k<5> in the plate C. The needles are given a forward movement carrying them into these holes, and are then retracted, gripping the cords on the far side of the upper and drawing them through the eyelets and also through the loops of the cord above lateral extensions on the fingers i. Simultaneously the knives m cut the cords. The knot is drawn tight as the fingers i move upwards, the weight of the upper causing the cord to slide off the fingers as the latter reach this original position. Both sets of needles are then slightly advanced to free the ends of the cords, these having been held between the needles and the sleeves in which they slide during the knotting operation. The laced and tied upper is shown in Fig. 23.

Abstract: 3661. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. Feb. 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automaticalty; shuttles.-In an electrically - driven loom, the speed of the driving-motor is automatically reduced for automatic cop-changing and is raised again after the cop - changiog has been completed. In one form, when the weft-fork mechanism 7, 8 is operated, a pawl 11 carried by an oscillating lever is moved into engagement with, and rotates a ratchet-wheel 12 secured to a cam-disk 14, which first operates mechanism for reducing the speed of the loom. Afterwards, the swell 16 acts on a roller 23 on a lever 24, which, by means of a link 25, moves a link 26 connected to the transferrer 27, 28 into the path of a reciprocating rod 29 carried by the lever 6, whereby the transferrer is operated. The ratchet-wheel 12 then returns to normil position, the pawl 11 sliding over a tooth 30, which projects so far as to force the pawl out of engagement with the ratchetwheel, the cam-disk causing the loom to be driven at its normal speed again. In a modification wherein the cop-changing mechanism is operated by weft-feeler mechanism on substantial exhaustion of weft, two rings 10, 11 on the shuttle 3, Figs. 2 and 3, co-operating with corresponding spring contacts 23, 11 adapted to enter through slots in the shuttle and shuttle box, are normally covered by the yarn on the cop. During the weaving, the ring 31 is first uncovered and operates mechanism for reducing the speed of the loom 43. The ring 10 is next uncovered, and a circuit is closed which short-circuits an electro-magnet 15, the slotted armature 21 of which is released and falls so that it is engaged by the weft-hammer lever 23. The block 28 to which the armature is pivoted is thus reciprocated, and engages and oscillates a lever 29 and shaft 30, which actuates the copchanging mechanism. An arm 50 on the shaft 30 operates mechanism whereby the loom is caused to be driven at its normal speed again.

Abstract: 12,656. Viau, R. Oct. 31, 1912, [Convention date]. Track apparatus actuating signals on and other than on trains and for stopping trains.-A treadle 1, Fig. 4, is depressed by the wheel of a passing train and removes a latch 3 from a pivoted ramp 4, which thereupon rises into the position shown at 5 in dotted lines. A lever 10, Fig. 6, on a following train is moved by the ramp and releases a lever 12, which permits a valve 13 to open and let steam pass to the front of a piston 16. The piston is moved to the left and opens the valve 20 which admits steam into a passage 19 and thence to the end 21 of a cylinder, Fig. 8, in which it moves a piston 22 to the left. In its movement, the piston first passes a port 23 and permits the steam to pass into it and blow a whistle, then by means of the rod 24 it moves the regulator lever, and finally it opens the brake valve 25. The ramp 4 is brought into the danger position from the cabin, whereupon, by means of a lever and chain 34, a counterweight 33 is lifted and a collar 37 upon it engages with a part 36 and moves the treadle 1 over. The treadle and ramp are returned to the safety position from the cabin by pulling upon a chain secured to a pulley on a shaft in line with the shaft 6 of the ramp, so that a projection on the pulley engages with a lever 7 on the shaft 6, and rotates it to bring the ramp into its inoperative position. The apparatus may be operated from several cabins, but each lever used to put the apparatus to danger is locked by a ratchet gear, so that the apparatus cannot be returned to safety until all the ratchet locks are released. The ramp 4 is connected to a semaphore or disk signal which indicates its position. If a counterweight falls from its chain, it hits the tail of a lever 47, 48, and by it causes the treadle to turn as though operated by a train and the ramp is put to danger.
