Title: Improvements relating to Pocket Card Cases.
Inventor: EDSON JULIUS TURNER
Filed: 1900-12-31
Granted: 1901-03-16
Abstract: 23,874. Edson, J. T., and Peabody, C. J. Dec. 31. Card cases.-Pocket card cases are fitted with means for ejecting the cards one at a time through an adjustable slot. Sections 1, 2, formed of an inner wall 8 of brass, bronze, &c. covered by a casing 40 of silver, aluminium, gold, leather, &c., are hinged together and provided with a catch 3. A delivery slot 6 is formed by making the end wall 4 less, and the end wall 5 greater, in width than the other walls. The width of the slot is adjusted by an elastic metal plate 7, secured to the wall 8 by rivets 9 with interposed washers 10. The edge of the plate 7 bears against the flange 12 of a plate 11 placed between the plate 7 and the wall 8. The plate 11 is connected by a link 13 to a pivoted lever 14, provided with a tongue 16 having a flange 17 passing through a slot 18 in the plate 7, and by moving the flange 17 the plate 11 is moved and acts as a wedge on the plate 7. In another device, a plate of less length and width than the wall 5 is moved longitudinally and laterally across the slot by means of pins projecting through inclined slots in the end wall. A plate or ejector 20, with an engaging-flange 21, is fitted in a slot 19 in the plate 7. The ejector is formed with an offset portion 22, the part below which projects beyond the plate 7, the upper part being flush with the plate. A spring 26, preferably of piano wire bent into loops 25, 27, 28, retains the ejector. The loop 25 is passed over one of the rivets 9, and one free end bears against the wall of the section 1, and the other on the shank of a thumb-button 23 secured to the part 22 and passing through a slot 24 in the wall 8. The cards 32 are held in a projecting portion of the section 2 formed by two flanged plates 29 and a follower plate 33 held towards the plates 29 by a spring 34. The cards rest on the upwardly-turned bottom flanges 31 of the plates 29. Flanges on the bottom of the follower are held by the spring 34, and prevent ejection with the last card. The follower and spring are recessed at the bottom end to allow free movement of the ejector when the cards are exhausted.

Title: Improvements in Shuttle-changing-mechanism for use in Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: COWBURN JAMES
Filed: 1901-10-04
Granted: 1902-10-02
Abstract: 19,805. Cowburn, J. Oct. 4. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism; shuttle boxes; stop-motions.-The shuttle box F has its bottom a pivoted at one end to a pin c, the opposite end being connected to a sliding rod 10, actuated by a finger 9 adjustably fixed to a vertical rod 4, which can slide through a bracket 5 secured to a vertical rod 6. The front b of the shuttle box is pivoted at f, and connected by means of a link 18 and lever 16, carried by a shaft 17, to the rod 6, which is raised together with the bracket 5 by means of the rod 4. This rod is connected to an arm 3 fixed to a shaft z, mounted on the lay-swords and oscillated by means of the weft-fork mechanism. When the rod 4 has been raised, on failure of weft, it is held in its raised position by a pawl 12 which engages with a stop 14 on the lay, until the spent shuttle has been discharged, when the pawl is released by the action of an inclined projection on the breast beam ; the sliding rod 10 is returned to its normal position by a spring 15. The front b, when turned down to allow a full shuttle to pass into the shuttle box, is held by a hook 21, until this is released by means of an oscillatory lever 23 mounted upon the lay. The shuttles are supplied from a magazine having guide-ways for the shuttle tips, and a vertically-movable platform which supports the shuttles and lowers them, on failure of weft, so as to bring the bottom shuttle opposite a pusher for transferring it into the shuttle box. This pusher is secured to the upper end of a lever actuated by means of the lay, which carries a block adapted to strike a movable pin, mounted on the pusher-lever and turned into its operative position by a finger on the rod 6. The spent shuttle passes beneath the raised bottom a, and is directed by a spring l into a receptacle j having a pivoted lower part m. The swell is drawn back, so as to prevent stoppage of the loom when the shuttle is discharged, by means of an arm 29, rod 27, lever 26, and link 25 connected to the movable bottom m, which is pushed back by the spent shuttle. Plates 72, which slide through apertures in the shuttle box, serve to prevent the full shuttle from being displaced during the return of the front b, and are connected by levers 71 and a link 70 to an arm 69 on the shaft 17. If desired, the loom may be provided with means for preventing the self-shuttling mechanism to act, so as to allow the loom to be worked in the usual way.

The boss is formed with ratchet teeth g, which are engaged by the spring-controlled or weighted pawl h on the operating-lever c, this lever being actuated through the connection c' from a lever in the signal cabin &c., to bring the detonators successively into position on the rail i. A check pawl j prevents backward movement of the hub, and a counterweight l, or a spring, is employed to return the lever c to its normal position after each operation, the movement of the lever being limited by stops k on the fixed platform b. The apparatus may be provided with a suitable protecting cover or.hood.

Granted: 1902-06-25
Abstract: 2654. Schniewind. H Feb. 1. Loom stop-motions; shuttle-changing mechanism.- A stop-mechanism or shuttle-changing apparatus, of any usual form, is actuated on failure of weft by means of an oscillatory shaft G carrying an arm H which is fitted with a sliding-bar I, adapted to be struck by a vibrating-arm or bunter J driven from any suitable part of the loom. The bar I supports a sliding-rod I', having a catch i for engaging with a hooked lever F, which is rocked by means of a sliding-bar D\ carrying a feeler d ; this feeler passes through apertures in the shuttle box and shuttle, and may press against a spring plate C bearing against the weft. The outer end of the bar D' is formed with an inclined part which coacts with a piece or cam E on the lever F, these parts being so arranged that the hooked end of the lever F is raised to engage with the catch i, provided the weft has not been exhausted beyond a predetermined point. At every beat-up, the bar I is moved out of the way of the bunter J by a cam l carried by the lay and adapted to strike a roller K<1> mounted on the bar I. During the backward stroke of the lay and cam l, the bar I is normally held out of the way of the bunter by the lever F, but, on the failure or exhaustion of weft, the lever F is inoperative, and the bunter strikes the bar I, and thereby causes the shaft G to be oscillated.

Abstract: 7707. Risk, R. April 2. Steering-gear.-The engine A, shown in plan, drives a pinion D which actuates a second pinion E turning in bearings G in a frame H. The pinion E forms a nut through which passes a screw J which is thus moved endways in one or other direction. The ends of the screw are suitably supported and are connected to the rudder chains. In a modification, to avoid the use of guide-pulleys, two longitudinal screws, one attached to each chain, are substituted for the single transverse one. The screws are actuated, as before described, by nuts turned by bevel gearing at each end of a transverse shaft. The engine is furnished with a controlling-valve of any usual type, which is brought back to its middle position after each movement.

Abstract: 8004. Boult, A. J., [Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines Ó Gaz]. April 5. Regulators and governors.-In addition to the usual bell b, admission valve a, and outlet pipe h, there is provided a second bell d, by the movement of which the amount of water in a reservoir c is regulated in accordance with the speed of discharge, and thus the weight upon the bell b is also regulated automatically. In the form shown, the cover of the receptacle c carries a valve e, which varies the size of an opening f. In consequence of the reduced size of the passage f, the exterior of the bell is subjected to a less pressure than the interior. The bell d carries a siphon i, which regulates the height of the water in the receptacle c. Water continually enters the receptacle from a supply m, and the excess is discharged from it into the main tank l. In a modification, instead of a valve e and opening f, the sides of the bell d are provided with openings. In another, an overflow pipe carried by the bell d and dipping into a mercury seal is provided instead of a siphon. The valve a may be placed in the outlet tube h instead of in the inlet tube.
