Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines used in the Sizing and Polishing (Finishing) of Twine and the like.
Filed: 1907-10-02
Granted: 1908-10-02
Abstract: 21,751. Cardwell & Sons, H., and Cardwell, H. Oct. 2. Sizing; smoothing. - Relates to an automatic stop-motion for use in machines for sizing and polishing twine, thread, and the like, of the type in which at most two or three ends of the material are passed spirally round a large cylinder, and comprises a stop-motion which will come into operation when the twine &c. breaks, slackens, or becomes intertwisted. The material is fed through a sizing- trough i, Fig. 2, past a wiper round a roller c, and back round a guide-roller m and then in a spiral manner round the roller c and a heated roller b, supported in end frames a, and finally is delivered through guide-eyes y to bobbins z. The roller b is driven through fast and loose pulleys d, d<1> by a belt controlled by a shipper bar f actuated by a spring f<2>. The belt is held on the fast pulley by a pivoted weighted lever p engaging a notch f<1> in the bar f, Fig. 4. The lever p carries at its end a pivoted piece u, which is suspended from the twine &c. by a hook v. When the material breaks or slackens, the piece u drops into an horizontal position and comes into the path of a projection c<1> on the roller c ; this depresses the lever p and moves it out of engagement with the notch f<1> and thus allows the spring f<2> to operate the shipper bar. The joint between the piece u and the extension s of the lever p to which it is pivoted is such as to cause the piece u and lever p to move together when depressed. A shoulder u<2> on the piece u prevents it from being raised too far. The material may be fed double through the machine, the two pieces separating at the delivery end of the machine and being wound on separate bobbins. In such a case a second piece u<1> mounted on a bar w, which can rotate in bearings x, is supported from the twine &c , to act in case this gets twisted and ceases to wind on to the bobbins. In this case the piece u<1> drops into the path of a projection c<2> on the roller c and the rod w is rotated, its cranked end w<1>, Fig. 8, depressing the lever p and liberating the shipper bar f. If only a single length of material is fed through the machine, a second device may be arranged at the delivery end of the machine to detect breakages. A modification is described in which the lever p, Fig. 9, is arranged on a bracket p<1> and is lifted out of the notch in the bar f by the ends of pivoted levers u, the other ends of which carry pulleys a' which rest on the twine &c. The levers u operate to lift the lever p when the material slackens or breaks. When two or more lengths of material are fed separately through the machine, separate levers a and studs c' may be provided for each length.

Title: Improvements in Lining Machines for Books
Inventor: NELSON THOMAS ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-10-23
Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 23,409. Nelson, T. A., and Murray, J. Oct. 23. Glueing.-- Relates to a machine for glueing together the backs of the sections of a book and applying reinforcing scrim with or without an additional paper-lining. The assembled sections of the book 1 are placed back uppermost in an horizontal guide d, and are engaged by pins g projecting from an intermittently travelling chain which feeds forward the book, first for the glueing of the back of the book, and then for the application and folding-over of scrim to the glued surface. If desired, the book may be re-glued and an additional lining with paper effected. A roller 7, Fig. 7, normally supplied with glue from a tank 3 by rollers 2, 5, is traversed transversely over the book by arms 8 rocked from a driving-shaft h, rotation being imparted to the roller 7 from a cam 9 through a train of wheels carried by the arms 8. Cam-shaped guides 12 serve to guide the roller 7 over the book. Superfluous glue is removed from the roller 7 by a scraper 10 and returned to the tank 3 by an inclined guide 11. The apparatus for applying the scrim is shown in Fig. 8, in which the scrim passes from a rollers 13 between feed-rollers 16 into an horizontally reciprocating guide 29, which when withdrawn leaves the scrim supported between rods 18, 19 and 20, 21 ; these grip the material while it is being severed by knives, and descend to apply the scrim to the back of the book. Suitable means are described for ensuring the simultaneous release of each end of the scrim. These ends are wiped on to the sides of the book by cam projections in the guide along which the book travels. Similar apparatus is used for applying the paper lining to the' book, but in this case the paper is first moistened to ensure a satisfactory adhesion, and is received by a single gripper device 48, Fig: 10, which is rocked to apply the paper by a vertically-reciprocating bracket 44, which also carries a rubber pad 56 to' press the paper firmly on to the book. The feedrollers for the lining-material are normally locked, but are adapted to be released by the advance of the book to its position for being operated upon ; waste due to miss-feed is thereby avoided. The machine maybe used in conjunction with a rounding and jointing machine.

Granted: 1909-06-15
Abstract: 10,611. Fynn, V. A. May 15. Motors, alternating-current; armatures; fieldmagnets.-The induced member of a single-phase motor is provided both with a winding permanently short-circuited on itself, either directly or through resistance &c., and with a winding or windings connected to a commutator or commutators by which an alternating current is introduced along an axis not coinciding with that of the inducing windiog ; and the inducing member is provided with an additional winding, the ampareturns of which generally but not necessarily oppose those of the commutator winding on the induced member. All windings are arranged for the same number of poles ; the induced winding closed on itself and the commutator winding or windings may be combined into one. In one arrangement, Fig. 12, the rotor carries a squirrelcage winding K and a commutator winding C connected in series with the inducing winding S. The winding C may be connected in shunt, or both in shunt and in series with the winding S either directly or through transformers. A choking coil may be connected in circuit with the winding C for the shunt connexion, and in parallel to S for the series connexion. The additional winding N on the inducing member may be connected in series with the commutator winding C either directly or through a transformer, or it may be short-circuited on itself. After the motor has reached a sufficient speed, the winding N is cut out by moving switch Q on to contact 2, or both windings C, N may be disconnected or shortcircuited, or the brushes f, f1, may be gradually or suddenly short-circuited and a compensating electromotive force may be introduced between them, being derived either from the mains through a shunt transformer, or from the winding S, or, by closing switch Q1, from an auxiliary stator winding B coaxial with the winding S. Polyphase star and mesh windings may be interconnected to form one short-circuited induced winding, or the mesh winding may be a form of continuous-current winding both short-circuited and connected to a commutator. One transformer T, Fig. 7, may be used both to connect the windings S, C, N in series at starting, and also to derive a compensating electromotive force from the supply. At starting, switches Q, Q1, Q2 are moved into the positions shown. To compensate the motor, the switches are moved on to the contacts 2, 4, 5 respectively. The circuit containing the windings C, N may be shunted to variable portions of the inducing winding S. The axis of the brushes f, f1 may be at any angle to the axis of the winding S. The brush arrangement shown in Fig. 9 may be employed, or the brushes a1, f1 of that arrangement may be replaced by a single brush. The winding S may be provided with one or more tappings so that the number of its turns may be reduced at starting.
