Title: Improvements in Jacquard Mechanism for Looms for Weaving Tufted Fabrics.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D39/02
Filed: 1909-11-06
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 25,607. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Nov. 6. Jacquards. - In a tufted - fabric loom in which the tuft-yarns are inserted i n t o the warps by needles and are bound in by the weft threads, the desired tuft - yarn needle 4, Fig. 3, is selected from each row of needles by means of a slide 8 having a slot 8<1>, which is just wide enough to allow a projection 4<2> on each of the needles to fall through it. A needle that has been allowed to fall is returned to its original position, before another needle is selected, by means of a bar 5 adapted to engage projections 4<1> on the needles. Each slide 8 is moved, to bring the slot 8<1> opposite the required needle, by means of a lever 11 having teeth 11<1> adapted to be engaged by sliding bars 13, 14 operated by levers 18, 19. Each lever 11 is raised, to bring the proper teeth 11<1> opposite the bars 13, 14 by means of a slide 25 engaging the end 11<2> of the lever 11. The slide 25 is supported by a rod 28, Fig. 1, connected to a vertical slide 30 having a shoulder 30<1> adapted to engage any one of a number of jacquard needles 3 selected by pattern cards. The slide 30 is returned to its uppermost position by a knife 32 engaging a shoulder 30<2>.

Abstract: 1510. Gabillard, L. Feb. 16, 1909, [Convention date]. Sand, distributing on wheel tracks. - A spraying - arrangement for a sand blast, of the type having a central feed a and two tubes b for the actuating-fluid inclined at equal angles to the axis of the feed-pipe, is provided with a nozzle p, which is circular towards the rear and rectangular towards the exit orifice, the sides of any rectangular section taken at right-angles to the plane containing the axis of the tubes a, b increasing progressively in length as the section is taken nearer the exit, while the remaining sides decrease in length. Each of the tubes b contains a nozzle g and is connected to a tube j. The tubes j unite in a tube k, which is provided with a flange l by means of which the apparatus is secured to the valve casing n leading from a pipe o through which the working- fluid is supplied. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a hopper r<1>, which is provided with an injector, Fig. 4, comprising a funnel r opening into a receptacle s which is connected to the feed-pipe a of the spraying-apparatus by a pipe f. The receptacle is tapped at the rear and provided with a nozzle t, which is connected by a tube u to the valve casing n. Air may be admitted, if desired. through a series of holes w adapted to be closed by a ring x. The invention is stated to be applicable to the cleaning of rails during the passage of a train or other vehicle, especially in the case of snow or frost. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1910-02-01
Granted: 1911-05-01
Abstract: 2468. Curtis, F. Feb. 1. Range-finders.-By the use of a series of differentlyspaced stadia wires in openings in a slide 46, Fig. 7, movable across the axis of a telescope 10 in its focal plane, one set can be found which subtends a known length on a distant stadia rod 50 and thus gives the distance. To determine the distance of another point D, above the first as in tree measuring, a rod 16 movable in a direction at rightangles to the axis of the telescope is adjusted until a scale on its edge gives a reading corresponding to the ascertained distance A', a second graduated rod 21 pivoted to it is set parallel to the telescope, and the telescope is turned to view the point D. A third rod 38 pivoted to the first then gives, by its intersection with the second rod, the distance of D. A set of stadia wires can then be selected and the width of the tree at D ascertained.

Abstract: 12,043. Kremer, W., and Trutschel, C. May 14. Stud-and-socket fastenings.-A stud-and-socket fastening, which can only be released by sliding, comprises a stud f, Fig. 1, rounded on one side and flat on the other, a socket having an opening b of the shape shown in Fig. 2, and a spring back - plate provided with a spring or depressions l, which serve to secure the stud head in the narrow end of the opening b. As shown in Fig. 6, the narrow end of the opening b is of such size that it allows the stud f to be pressed into the socket and then engaged by a spring h from which it can only be released by sliding. The socket may be formed from a single piece of metal, the edges of which are turned over to enclose the spring. When intended for use as a button, the lock plate is provided with projections l, Fig. 5, to prevent its rotation. For use as a stocking-suspender, the stud is carried by the suspending-strap, and the socket is provided with a removable back plate m having projections o, which are pressed through the stocking and then spring over the remainder of the socket, which is then engaged with the stud.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Mechanism.
Inventor: BOHN FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1910-06-22
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 15,030. Bohn, F. June 22. Press working valves.-Means are provided whereby the movements of two or more hydraulic plungers can be controlled separately or jointly. In the latter case, a differential mechanism is in gear for the purpose of maintaining the same motion in all the plungers. The valve-rods 8 pass from the valve boxes 3 to internal-threaded tubes 9 which move longitudinally in bearings 9<x>. Screwed rods 10 engage the tubes 9, and are geared by keys to sleeves 11 which carry pinions 12. Rods 13 having a ball-bearing connexion with the rods 10 carry racks 14 at their upper ends which engage pinions 15 operated from bevel-gearing 17 and hand-wheels 18. Each valve can therefore be operated from a hand-wheel 18, during which the spindles 11 do not rotate. The shafts 19 of the hand-wheels can be clutched to a shaft 21 driven by gearing 22 from a hand-wheel 23. When so clutched, both valves can be operated from either of the hand-wheels 18 or the wheel 23. In order to correct for inequalities of movement of the pistons when the working valves are coupled, the pinions 12 are rotated, whereby the total length of the valve-rod and the position of the valve are adjusted. The piston-rods 2 carry racks 24 which actuate pinions 26 on shafts 27 upon which are also secured bevel-wheels 28. These wheels gear with the planet-wheels 29 of a differential mechanism upon the frame of which is a bevel-wheel 32. If one of the pistons gets in advance of the other, a movement is given to the wheel 32 which is conveyed through bevel-gearing and a pinion 37 to the pinions 12.
Patent GB-191015072-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Excavating Machinery and Grabs.
Inventor: GROSSMITH ALFRED ROGER
IPC: E02F3/47
Filed: 1909-12-13
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 15,072. Grossmith, A.R. Dec. 13, 1909. Jib cranes.-In excavating-machines comprising a grab carried by a crane, the net weight of the grab is partly counterbalanced by a weight suspended from a drum revolving with a fusee connected by a rope or chain with another fusee revolving with the winding-drum of the crane. Fig. 2 shows part of a scoop arm excavating-machine, to which the invention may also be applied, with the lifting-rope 32 wound on a drum 16. Revolving with the drum are fusees 31 connected by ropes 30 with fusees 29 revolving with drums 27, on which are wound ropes suspending a weight 25. When the scoop is in its highest position, the ropes 30 lead from the small ends of the fusees 29 to the large ends of the fusees 31, so that the weight exerts its maximum pull on the drum 16. In the case of a grab excavator the ropes 30 are wound on fusees having a proportion of parallel surface, so that the grab is counterbalanced for the upper portion of its travel, but, when the grab is in a low position, the counterbalancing- weight 25 has little effect, and thus the impact with the surface, required to cause the grab to penetrate, is not prevented.
