Patent GB-190325895-A (GB)
Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Measuring and Marking Textile Fabrics.
Inventor: KEMPEN ANTON VAN
Filed: 1903-11-27
Granted: 1904-04-14
Abstract: 25,895. Kempen, A. van. Nov. 27. Labels and label fastenings.-A measuring - device for fabrics, such as a cylindrical or prismatic drum or a flat table, is fitted with apparatus for attaching metal or other clasps or clips, which are numbered or otherwise marked consecutively, to the edges of fabrics at fixed intervals during the measuring so as to facilitate the cutting-off of required lengths. The clasps are cut off from metal bands, which, in the form shown in Fig. 1, are serrated at the edges, and, in applying them, the end clasp is cut off, the serrated edges bent down, and the clasp clipped over the edge of the fabric. The bent-over serrations may be dispensed with, and the clasp when bent over the fabric secured by making indentations near the ends. Fig. 3 shows another form in which the ends are bent down. The measuring- drum 1, Fig. 5, over which the fabric 3 passes is turned by a crank 2 fixed to a sleeve 4 formed with arms 6, 7 connected to the drum. Bosses 8, 9 are formed in the arms 6, 7, and one or both bosses, according to the interval required between the clasps, are fitted with a pivot 12 carrying a ring 34. A spring tends to turn the pivot so that the clasp-applying mechanism is carried to one side of the fabric, and the pivot is turned to bring this mechanism over the edge of the fabric, at the required times, by a finger 36 fixed to the shaft 5. At a certain part of the rotation of the drum and arm 6, a nose 35 on the ring 34 comes against the finger 36, thus causing the pivot to be turned. A cam 10 on the shaft 5 next acts on a pin 11, Fig. 8, capable of sliding in the pivot 12, and the pin acts through a pivoted lever 16 to depress the stamp 20 on to the end clasp of a coiled band of clasps contained in a chamber in the stamp head 19. Further movement of the cam causes the apparatus to turn about the pivot 23 so that the bead 19 rests on the fabric, and the final action of the cam depresses the stamp 20. which carries a shearing-blade 26, Fig. 12, for cutting off the clasp, and plates 27 for bending down the ends of the next clasp, and presses the clasp on to the fabric. A rod 29 mounted in the stamp 20 and depressed by a spring holds the clasp steady during the shearing and bending operations. When the cam 10 ceases to act, the stamp 20 rises and acts on a lever 40 carrying a spring pawl 41 which advances the next clasp into position. In a modified apparatus, the stamp is depressed by hand, and several of such apparatus may be arranged at intervals on a measuring-table.

Filed: 1904-02-23
Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 3722. Bostock, r. H. Feb. 23. Speed indicators; p@ometers.-Centrifugal governor apparatus for indicating and registering the speed of a vehicle and closing an electric controlling circuit at a given speed is mounted in the same casing with an odometer for recording the distance travelled. By means of a chain or toothed wheels, the shaft D is driven from the wheel axle, and rotates the bevel-wheels D<1>, D<2> which drive the spindle B of the governor. From the sleeve B' keyed thereto, three arms A' depend and carry pivots which support the weighted levers A, the inner ends of which have friction wheels resting on a free sleeve A<2> which is depressed against the spring A<3> when the speed rises. The forked lever E communicates this motion to the toothed sector E<5>, engaging a toothed wheel F attached to a second wheel G<1> which moves the rack G, carrying at the upper end a cylinder H of glass or other transparent material, marked with a scale of speeds, and graduated in differently-coloured bands which show as the cylinder rises above its casing J, the scale being illuminated by the lamp K. The worm M upon the shaft D drives a train of wheels which operate the pointer O<1> on the distance dial O, and also effect the rotation of a vertical drum Q', thereby winding paper on it from the feed-roller Q. A pencil carried by the arm P of the speed indicator H, marks the speed on the travelling band, which may be graduated to represent distances and speeds. At the maximum speed, the projection L on the rack G contacts with the piece L' and thereby closes a local circuit, which may control the ignition of an internal-combustion motor road vehicle, or the controller of an electric tramcar.

Abstract: 20,778. Head, W. G. Sept. 27. Gas cooking-stoves; gas supply, controlling.- Relates to means for actuating the spindle of a gas valve connected to a cooking-stove so that the gas is shut off, or turned on and lighted by a pilot jet, according as a cooking-vessel is taken off, or placed on, the stove above the burner. A lever c, Fig. 1, pivoted to a pendent projection b from the ring or other burner a, is bent at one end d and extends above the hot-plate e, so that the cooking- vessel may push down the lever. At the other end f, the lever bears against the spindle q of a valve g between the burner and the gas cock h. When the spindle q, Fig. 2, is lifted by the action of the lever, it raises the spindle l of the valve against the spring n, and gas passes from the inlet i through a passage r and a central passage k to the outlet j, and thence to the burner, where it is lighted by a pilot light supplied with gas from a bye-pass s. When the cooking-vessel is removed, the spring n forces the valve l on to its seat, and the gas supply to the burner is cut off. The spindle q passes through a diaphragm p, of leather or other suitable material, the edges of which are gripped between the valve and the cap o, so that leakage of gas around the spindle is prevented.
