Title: Improvements in or relating to the Stopping Mechanism of Machines for Hemstitching Fabrics.
Inventor: ELLIS GEORGE BELOE
IPC: D05B25/00

Granted: 1912-04-24
Abstract: 9943. Ellis, G. B., [Adair Machine Co.]. April 24. S e w i n g - m achines; stopping- gear, automatic.- The circuit of a relay controlling an electro - magnetic driving- clutch of a sewing - machine is momentarily closed when, in the usual cycle of stitching operations, the thread control a<2> is permitted by the slackening of the needle thread to contact with a part d<2>. At such t i m e s, however, the same circuit is broken by a revolving s w i t c h plate fixed on the main shaft of the machine. If the needle thread breaks or remains slack owing to the breakage of the shuttle thread so that the relay circuit is closed both at d<2> and at the switch, the driving-clutch magnets are energized and stop the machine. As a further safeguard, the work after leaving the needle passes under a finger s<2>, over a fixed part q<2> and over a finger y<2>. When the shuttle thread breaks, the point of attachment of the needle thread to the work moves on until the thread lifts the finger s<2> and completes the relay circuit at t<2>, w<2>. When the needle thread breaks, the point of attachment of the shuttle thread to the work moves on until the shuttle thread, passing through a notch w<2> in the part q<2>, depresses the finger y<2> and closes the relay circuit. Fig. 7 shows a suitable electro-magnetic clutch in which substantially no end thrust obtains. A driving- pulley m and a driven pulley o, which carries the driving-belt of the machine, are freely mounted on a sleeve l revoluble upon a fixed spindle h. Normally, a spring r, abutting against the flanged end of the sleeve presses the two pulleys together at the friction ring p causing the pulley together with the sleeve l to rotate. When the magnets, of which there may be four, are energized, they attract the pulley o away from the pulley m and bring it to rest against the stops w; the pulley m continuing to revolve upon the sleeve l. The pulleys are lubricated by a wick f<1>. A lever a<1> can be used to separate the pulleys, and is connected to a suitable hand-lever. The invention is described in connexion with a pair of sewing-machines for hemstitching opposite edges of a long length of fabric, as described in Specifications 5002/09, 16,923/09, and 3730/10, and feed-control fingers are shown which rest upon the upturned edges of the fabric and close the clutch circuit of one machine when the feed of the other is too slow as described in Specification 3730/10. The hand stopping-lever of either machine is arranged to break the main electric circuit at an associated mercury cup.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Rotary Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: DIAMANT SIGMUND
IPC: F01C1/344
Filed: 1911-11-21
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 25,959. Diamant, S., Jellinek, M., and Mercedes, E. Jellinek-. Dec. 24, 1910, [Convention date]. Fixed-abutment type; working-fluid supply; cooling parts.-An internal-combustion engine having radially-sliding vanes m, n in a fixed internal drum v with a rotary casing w is provided with four cells or chambers 1, 2, 3, 4 of equal volume in the fixed drum. The cells respectively contain fluid in the four consecutive stages of a complete cycle of working, and the state of the fluid in each is changed during each halfrevolution, so that a complete cycle with respect to any particular cell occurs every two revolutions. Water cooling-jackets surround the cells 1, 2, 3, 4. The drum may rotate, and the casing is then fixed. Rotary valves I, II, III, IV control the passage of fluid between the cells and the working chambers C, E, and these valves are continuously rotated by gearwheels (not shown) from the wheel t on the main shaft a, to which the rotary casing w is connected by the parts h. The reciprocatory motion of the vanes m, n is utilized to draw air into the space o between them through the valve 10, and then to force this air through a pipe 15 and one of four valves into one of the cells 1, 2, 3, 4, for scavenging purposes, that is to say into the cell in which there is no backpressure, since it is open to the exhaust. After scavenging benzine is injected into the same cell by a pump, and is vaporized by the hot walls, and mixed with air. In the diagram, Fig. 6, showing four successive positions of the rotor w during a half-revolution, the cell 3 has just been charged as described above, and the charge is undergoing compression, since it is connected by the valve IV with a closed decreasing part of the chamber C (the rotor moving in a clockwise direction). Ignition plugs 21, 22, 23, 24, Fig. 2, are provided in each cell, and are operated in turn by a contact-maker actuated by the engine. The cell 1, Fig. 6, is just exploded, and is connected by the valve I to the closed increasing part of the chamber E, while the cell 2 contains a compressed charge, which is being heated prior to explosion, the valves II, III closing the cell 2 entirely. The cell 4 is being scavenged, and is connected by the valve III to the decreasing part of the chamber E, from which the exploded fluid is exhausting through the port e in the casing to the atmosphere. The increasing part of the chamber C is meanwhile drawing in air from the atmosphere through the port c. which opens into the atmosphere at each end of the casing.
