Title: Cloth Piling Machines.
Inventor: MACKENZIE JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B65H45/101
Filed: 1910-03-22
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 7165. Mackenzie, J. W., [S. C. F. Machinery Co.]. March 22. Cuttling.-Transverse folding-machines having reciprocating carriages are provided with improved cutters to sever the fabrics at the ends of the pile, and with automatic means for operating the cutters, said means being adjustable for various lengths of fabric. A carriage 1<a> reciprocated on a frame 1 is driven from a shaft 5, a reversing-lever 3 being operated by an adjustable stop 4 to reverse the drive, which is of any known type. The carriage carries upper feed-rolls 7 driven from the shaft 5 through a pinion 6 splined thereon and a gear-wheel 2. Beneath the carriage are two lower rolls 8 driven from the upper rolls, the lower rolls depositing the folded fabric 13 on a table 9. Between the upper and lower rolls are fixed and movable shear blades 14, 15, the latter mounted on a slide 16 and normally held clear by springs 17. A bar 18 movable transversely of the carriage has lugs 19 engaging spring-pressed bell-crank levers 20 to move the blade across when the bar 18 is moved. The bar has an arm 27 in which is mounted a rod 21 having a spring 31 between the arm and a lug 32 on the carriage, and a stronger spring 29 between the arm and a collar 30 which has an inclined end to release a latch 26. On the end of the rod 21 is a roller 28 which moves close to the frame, which is provided with adjustable wedges 22 to act on the roller towards the ends of the carriage stroke. The roller 28 being forced inwards, compresses the spring 29 which releases the latch 26 and moves the bar 18 to actuate the cutter, the spring 31 returning the bar when the wedge 22 is closed after reversal of the carriage. The stroke of the bar 18 is such that the lugs 19 pass the ends of the levers 20 and allow the springs 17 to immediately return the cutter 15. Scales are provided on the frame on which work index fingers attached to the stops 4 and wedges 22, and the lengths cut off can thus be adjusted, and by arranging the relative positions of the fingers the point where the fabric is severed will reach the end of the pile as the carriage is reversed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for the Detection of Dangerous Gases.
Inventor: TURQUAND FREDERICK JAMES
IPC: G01N7/10
Filed: 1910-04-09
Granted: 1911-07-09
Abstract: 8582. Turquand, F. J., and Gray, W. E. April 9. [Cognate Application, 17,146/10.] Diffusion apparatus for gases; gas analysis.- A device for showing the diffusive action of gases consists of two diffusion chambers, each of which communicates with the exterior through a porous septum, and which are connected by a pressure indicator. The invention is particularly suitable for detecting the presence of deleterious gases in coal mines &c., and for this purpose the diffusion chambers communicate with each other or with a fresh-gas reservoir through auxiliary septa which are arranged so that diffusion takes place slowly therethrough, and which serves to equalize matters in the two chambers or to free them of admixed gas. A device may be provided in connexion with the fresh-gas reservoir so that pressure variations produced therein by changes in temperature or pressure do not have any effect on the indicator. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 comprises two diffusion chambers 2 connected by a capillary tube 1 with an index 10. The chambers are provided with porous septa 5 of carbon, unglazed earthenware, paper dipped in collodion, rubber, &c., and the caps are closed by plugs 6, which are provided with pins 8 working in curved slots 9, so that on rotation they are brought against the plugs, and when open, gas has access to them through the slots 9. The diffusion chambers are provided with heat-insulating liners. Porous plugs 11, through which diffusion takes place very slowly, connect the diffusion chambers with a fresh-gas, reservoir 13; and a tube 16, open at one end to the reservoir and at the other to the air and provided with a short column of liquid, serves to compensate for changes in temperature and pressure. The annular shape of the reservoir allows the apparatus to be fixed on miners' lamps. A reading is obtained by uncovering one of the septa, and a second reading by covering the septum first opened, and uncovering the other. The capillary tube is calibrated, or a cover may be fitted over the index, which only allows the latter to be seen when it has moved considerably. The bore of the tube is shaped so as to cause the index to return to zero. In another form, the caps are given an eccentric movement to cover or uncover the porous septa, and the device for regulating the pressure in the gasreservoir consists of an expansible diaphragm. A mercury &c. index may be used to close an electric circuit, and this circuit may through a relay be used to control the electrically-driven machinery of a mine &c. In a further modification, a good heat-conductor in the form of a rod or partition is placed between the chambers so as to equalize the temperature therein.

Abstract: 10,184. Gawlet, G. April 26. Balancing automatically. The lateral and longitudinal balancing members of an aerial machine are controlled by a pendulum through an electro-pneumatic relay mechanism. The pendulum rod 22, Fig. 2, is freely pivoted at 55 to the head of a casing 1 having a glass interior 14, which is exhausted of air. The casing is secured at the centre of gravity of the machine and is hung by a universal joint 6, 7 and adjustably connected at the lower end to the frame of the machine. Brackets 54 depending from the head of the casing 1 support a platform carrying the switch mechanism. A disk 49, Fig. 3, is loosely mounted on the pendulum rod and is connected by links 40 to contact pins 48 sliding in guides 46 and adapted when the machine tilts to close one or more of the switches 56, Fig. 12, and energize the corresponding solenoid 39, Fig. 2. The solenoid attracts the armature 42 and moves the rod 43 to turn a three-way cock 36 admitting compressed air to a cylinder 28, by which the piston 29 is depressed to actuate through a link and bell-crank 20 the rod 10 or 11 connected to the longitudinal and lateral balancing-members. When the machine resumes its normal position the circuit of the solenoid is broken and the spring 45 returns the armature and rack 43 to move the valve 36 to exhaust the cylinder 28. In a modified form, the pendulum 60, Fig. 19, is divided into a number of parts surrounding a central bar 57 and pivoted to a fixed disk 58. The pendulum weights 62 are provided with grooved rollers 63 which run on guides 64 in the lower end of the casing 14. When four sections of the pendulum are employed, each section is connected by a hinged link 66 to the contact pins 48. When more sections are employed, the additional sections are connected by pins 70, Fig. 23, to rods 68 slotted at the ends and engaging with pins 69 on the links 66. The movement of the additional sections is communicated to the links 66 through the rods 68.
