Title: Improvements in and relating to "Dabbing" Mechanism used in Wool Combing, or the like.
Inventor: GREENWOOD EDGAR
Filed: 1905-07-22
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 15,098. Greenwood, E., and Greenwood, J. July 22. Combing - machines.-Dabbing - mechanism for Noble's combs is constructed with blades N, N<1>, Figs. 1 and 2, mounted so that they can rise in case of obstruction. The blades N, N<1> for the small and large comb circles respectively are suitably spaced on rods adjustably secured to the dabber carrier K. The blades N may be mounted on pins formed on, or passing through, arms Q, which are secured in slots in the carrier, and the blades N<1> are spaced on rods P passing through the blades N and secured in sockets. The carrier is fixed to, or formed with, arms L mounted on a shaft M carried in a bearing D'. This bearing is formed on a bracket D adjustably fixed to a bracket B, which partially embraces the pillar A extending through the small comb circle, and is bolted to a bracket E at the opposite side of the pillar. The bracket E is adjustably fixed to the pillar by bolts X and carries a cranked shaft F<1> which is driven by a band and pulley F and reciprocates, through an eccentricrod G, a rod H having a square section where it passes through the carrier K. Connexion between the rod and carrier is effected to impart a dabbing- motion, by a conically-pointed pin T, Fig. 4. mounted in a boss on the carrier and pressed forward, by a spring U arranged between, a fixed collar U<1> on the pin and a loose collar U<2>, to engage a conical hole in the rod H. The rod is supported opposite to the pin by a ball W<1> retained in an adjustable race W. The pin may be disconnected and locked by drawing back a handle T<3> and rotating it so that a cross-peg which normally rests in slots in the bush V rests against the end of the bush. The carrier can now be raised, and locked by a catch I engaging the rod. If an obstruction be brought forward by the combs when the parts are working normally, the upward pressure against the blades causes the pin T to be pressed back, thereby releasing the carrier. A spring Z between a foot on the bracket E and the carrier assists the dabbing-motion, and lateral motion of the carrier is prevented by adjustable screws R on the levers L working against sides E' of the levers E.

Title: Improvements relating to Micrometer Plates or like Measuring Devices
Inventor: BOWERS WILLIAM RICHARD
Filed: 1905-11-16
Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 23,549. Bowers, W. R. Nov. 16. Measures of length.-The divisions of a linear scale may be subdivided by mounting it as a radius upon a spirally grooved plate and adjusted to coincidence by rotation. In Fig. 1, a is a plate on which is scribed an equable sphere a<1>. The radial lines a<2> intersect the spiral, dividing it into a number of equiangular portions. The plate may be fitted with a rotatable index b which is preferably of a sectoral form. This sector has a radial edge b<1> with graduations corresponding to the points of intersection of the spiral and the zero radius, and has also a peripheral edge b<2>, equal in length to one main division of the outer turn of the spiral, graduated with subdivisions of this main division. As an example of its use, if it be required to find the value of a dimension which when measured along b<1> lies between À8 and À9, the index is rotated until the dimension exactly coincides with one of the convolutions of the spiral. If, for example, the edge b<1> then lies between the radial lines 2 and 4, and the graduation 6 on b<2> coincides with the radial line 2, then the value of the dimension is À826. A nut b<3>, Fig. 2, is provided for clamping the index to the plate. In a modification, the edge b<l> 6f the index forms a complete diameter of the spiral, unit lengths being read in one direction from the centre, and fractional lengths in the other direction. For large dimensions, the spiral and graduations may be set out on an annular ring of convenient diameter.

Abstract: 23,642. Wakfer, W. H. Nov. 16. Plug cocks; packing, special methods of; casings. -Plug cocks are fitted each with a spring at the lower or smaller end of the plug, tending to press the plug out of the casing against the inward pressure of a resilient packing at the larger end, the object being to ensure proper contact without jamming. In the cock shown in Fig. 3, the plug is recessed to receive the spring. The packing, consisting of an india-rubber or like washer h bedding on the milled top edge of the casing d, a layer of asbestos l, and preferably also an india-rubber washer m, is held in place by a screwed cap e the edges of which are milled to aid the adjustment by hand. The cap may be made to be adjusted by a spanner. The washers h, m may be made partly of india-rubber and partly of fabric, or they may be faced both sides with asbestos or other material. The casing d may be strengthened by ribs n, Fig. 1. The operating-spindle may be formed at either end of the plug. Fig. 6 shows a three-way cock the three similar passages x, y, z of which may be screwed, so that if necessary the tap may be connected up to the pipes in different ways. Fig. 9 shows another arrangement of the plug and casing. In a mixing-cock for hot and cold water for baths, the plug 3, Fig. 7, discharges axially, and is provided with two ports 4, 5, the larger one giving a full discharge, the smaller port 5 being used when only half the amount of hot and cold water is required. The packing may be used without the opposing spring, modifications of this nature being described.

Title: Improvements in Photographic Cameras of the Reflector Type
Filed: 1906-02-10
Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 3324. Dockree, W., Edwards, V. W., and Kongrhtons, Ltd. Feb. 10. Cameras ; shutters.-A magazine reflex camera is described which is an improvement on that described i n Specification No. 25,496, A.D. 1904. The plate-changing mechanism islocked when the mirror is in the focusing position. The mirror is locked in the focusing position by the lifting-rod to prevent it from tilting inadvertently. There is a catch for holding and retaining plates that have fallen, which plates in falling operate a release latch, allowing the mirror to drop into focusing position again after exposure. A shutter is also described which operates in combination with the other parts of the camera. The lock for the plate-changing mechanism c, Fig. 2, comprises a sliding bolt m connected with the mirror d, and is withdrawn by the link l when the mirror is raised. The mirror is locked in the focusing position by the curved part s, Fig. 1, of the mirror lifting-rod q, and the pin r. After release of the exposed plate, it drops on to the catch v, which is pivoted, and arches a spring w, Figs. 1 and 7, thereby turning the rod u and releasing the rod p, which rises and allows the mirror to drop again into the focusing position. The shutter has twin fanshaped blades, and is set by pulling the cord, Fig. 4, the plate 1 carrying the plate 2 with it. Both are retained by separate catches 8, 9, and are actuated by separate springs. In set position, the aperture 6 is uncovered. The first action on depression of the release lever o, is to release the plate 1, which rises to cover the aperture, being stopped by the catch 10 and pin 15. Further depression lowers the lever p, thereby raising the mirror, which when it has risen releases the pin 15 and the shutter blade 1, which then rotates to expose the lens. At the end of the movement, the blade releases the spring arm 12 from the catch 13, and this arm 12 in turn actuates the lever 9 to release the blade 2. The interval before the release of the blade 2 can be regulated by the friction against the arm 12. For time-exposures, the auxiliary release lever 17 is used to retain the plate 2 until it is thrown out of action by the arm 18. The shutter cannot be reset, or the lens uncovered, until the exposed plate has been dropped to release the mirror rod p from the catch t, thereby allowing the catch 10 to be returned to its'normal position and thus raising the catch 14 to free the pin 15.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Manufacturing Metallic Healds.
Inventor: CHARPENTIER EDMOND
Filed: 1906-03-24
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 7149. Charpentier, E., and Richelle, J. March 24. Bending.-In a machine for forming loom healds from double wire blanks, the cut blanks are fed to the machine, where they are gripped, and the ends are bent round to form loops, the extreme ends being pressed in to prevent projecting edges. A loop is made for the centre eye and the loops are then twisted and the finished heald ejected and carried away from the machine, the stages being shown in Figs 10 .... 14. The blanks are placed on cam-operated slides 20, Fig. 1, which are moved forward and are then depressed, thus depositing the blank on fingers 33. The blank is then carried on cam-operated slides between spring-controlled claws 34, 40 to the centre of the machine, and camoperated levers 54 bend the ends of the blanks round studs 61 and slide blocks close the eyes thus formed, the claws 44, 45 providing a recess for the end of the wire.. Matrices 76 are thereupon placed over the loops and the pressure on the claws is increased to support the heald during the subsequent twisting action, a pin at'the centre of a pinion 113, Fig. 5, being pressed'between the two wires to make the central eye. Gearing is then put into drive the pinions 94, 113 for a number of revolutions thus bringing the heald to the finished form, Fig. 10. The matrices 76 and claws are then retracted, and the heald is lifted from the studs 61 by pins 133, is engaged by forks'138, and conveyed, . by the chain 140 to the receptacle. The twisting- heads 76 are yieldingly mounted on springs so that they will move slightly as the heald is twisted and so remove the strain from the latter. The twisted portions of the heald may be subsequently smoothed by solder. The main shaft 4 of the machine is driven by gearing from a belt pulley 5, and the cam shafts 9, 10, from which the various slides &c. are operated are geared to the main shaft.

Title: Improvements in Dyeing Hairs, Furs, Feathers or the like and a Material therefor.
Filed: 1906-05-21
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 11,876. Pantin, H , [executor of Abel, C. D.], (Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin Fabrikation). May 21. Hair dyes.-Dyeing hair is effected with a soluble salt, for example an alkali salt, of pyrogallolsulphonic acid, reddish-brown or blonde to darkbrown shades being obtained which are fast to water and soap. Pyrogallolsulphonic acid is stated to be much less poisonous than pyrogallol. The hair is first well washed and freed from natural fat, and a dilute reutral or feebly alkaline solution, preferably aqueous, of an alkali pyrogallolsulphonate is then applied thereto. When the hair is allowed to dry, the shade devolops in some hours. After this, the hair is well washed with water and finally with an aqueous soap solution. When, in particular, dark-brown or brownish-black shades are desired, treatment with a ferrous or ferric salt, for example ferric chloride, follows that with the dye-stuff. Some time after, the shade having developed, the hair is well washed and soaped. In either case, development may be hastened by adding a suitable oxidant, for example hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate or ferricyanide, or sodium perborate, to the sulphonate solution. By way of example, the hair, after being thoroughly washed and freed of grease, is moistened with an aqueous solution of pyrogallolsulphonic acid and sodium, potassium, or ammonium carbonate. After development, the hair is washed and soaped, a reddish-brown being obtained. A very dilute solution of the dye-stuff gives a very light reddish-brown or light blonde. Again, an aqueous solution of potassium pyrogallolsulphonate and ammonia may be employed. After an hour excess of this solution is pressed out, and the hair is then impregnated with a dilute aqueous solution of ferric chloride. Some time after, a dark-brown shade develops and the hair is washed with dilute acetic acid and soaped. A light - brown tint is obtained if all excess of the dyeing-solution is washed out before mordanting.
