Abstract: 23,382. Michelin et Cie (Soc. en Commandite par actions). Aug. 11, [Convention date]. Springs, arrangement of and mounting undercarriages on.-Relates to shock-absorbers for use in conjunction with vehicle bearing-springs, and consists in connecting the bearing-springs with the compensating-springs of the shockabsorber by means of hydraulic pressure devices operating on a piston connected with the compensating-springs by links so that the force with which the springs act on the piston diminishes as the piston is forced upwards and the springs are compressed. Automatic and hand-operated means are also provided for varying the quantity of liquid in the apparatus in accordance with the load. Fig. 1 shows a rear elevation of one construction in which pistons working within hydraulic cylinders c bear upon the laminated vehicle springs b, fluid pressure being communicated to a piston e working in a cylinder d and connected with springs g by means of bell-cranks i and toggle links e<1>. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which pistons e are arranged above and below the springs g, and are connected therewith by toggle links o.

Title: Improvements in Weft Stop Motion for Looms.
Inventor: SPITZ EMANUEL
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1911-11-01
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 24,264. Spitz, E. Nov. 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Stop-motions, weft. - A weft stop-motion comprises a part d, which is secured to an arm adapted to act on the loom starting-handle and carries a spring-controlled slide b having .at its end a feeler a adapted to bear against the bobbin in the shuttle. A part i of a lever l pivoted to the slide b engages a feeler k adapted to bear against the side of the shuttle. When there is a substantial amount of weft in the shuttle, the feeler a engages the bobbin before the feeler k engages the shuttle, and the slide b is pressed back in such a manner that the lever l enters a slot m in the part d. When the weft is almost exhausted, the feeler k strikes the shuttle and turns the lever l so that, when the feeler a is pressed back by the bobbin, the lever l engages a notch o and causes the part d to move the starting-handle and stop the loom. The lever l and notch o are so shaped that the lever is turned slightly as it engages the notch, thus drawing the feeler k away from the side of the shuttle.

Abstract: 3338. Berry, H. H., and Markham, W. J. Feb. 9. Switches, actuating; switchboards. - Ironclad fuse-switches are mounted on the back of a switchboard and operated by a handle, wheel, or the like mounted on the front. The invention is specially applicable to the fuse-switches described i n Specifications 28,546/04and 13,443/09. As shown in Fig. 1, the switch - box b is bolted to the board a, and the switch is operated by a handle i attached to a rod h passing through the board and detachably connected to a link f attached to a rod d passing through the box-lid. The lid carries a bracket e to which is pivoted the link f so that, when the handle has been disconnected, the lid can be conveniently raised for the purpose of replacing a blown fuse. In a modified form, a lever handle replaces the straight-pull handle, and a slightly different arrangement of links is employed. In a modification shown in Fig. 4, a hand - wheel l is provided on a spindle n, which, by means of the gearing, drives a spindle passing through the side of the switch-box.

Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 15,483. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 2. Arc lamps ; electrodes.-Current is conveyed to the arcing part of an electrode through a number of conductive paths symmetrically arranged and at right-angles to the arc which is thus kept in a central position. The electrode proper is small and is run hot; it may be replaced by a new one at each trimming of the lamp. In one arrangement, the electrode is a dish 10, Fig. 1, of copper or other highly - conductive metal and has a flat bottom of considerable area, forming the arcing surface. Notched double strips 7, supporting the electrode by its rim 11, are attached to two plates 1 forming wings which may pass through slots in a fume box and be connected to a regulating-magnet. The plates 1 are bent and attached to each other so as to embrace a short wide tube 2 and are cut away to form cams 5, on which ride pins 6 secured to the tube. Raising and lowering of the tube by these means may be facilitated by an arm 12. When lowered, the tube fits within the electrode; when raised, it is clear of the electrode, which can then be removed. In a modification, there are no cams, but pins on the tube slide in vertical slots in the bent plates 1. In another arrangement, the electrode 9<a>, Fig. 4, which may be thickened by a conical mass 9<b>, is made integral with supporting arms 14 attached to a head 13. This head screws on to a stud attached to a flat bar 16. To prevent accidental unscrewing of the electrode, a crooked rod 17 sliding in lugs on the bar passes between two of the supporting arms 14 ; during trimming, the crooked rod is raised so that the end catches in a hole in the bar. The lower and negative electrode may be of magnetite mixture.
