Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 5684. Feeny, V. F., [Akt.-Ges. J. P. Bemberg]. March 11. Braiding-machines.-Relates to meansfor temporarily stopping a bobbin. On the spindle of each bobbin are carried eccentrically a V-shaped driving- piece g and a cone k, Fig. 1. When a bobbin is to be stopped, a sleeve h is allowed to rise, so bringing a shoulder m, Figs. 1, 6, and 7, into the path of the cone, which is thus caused to roll from the position shown in Fig. 6 to that shown in Fig. 7. The driving-piece g is thus disengaged from the shoulders of the driving-plate b ; it is returned into engagement by the action of an inclined plate i upon the cone k when the sleeve h is lowered. Curved parts n on the spindle bear on guides o, and prevent accidental disengagement of the driving-piece g. In a modified form, shown in Fig. 14, the cone is dispensed with and the eccentric driving-pin g is moved out of engagement with the driving-plates b by the V-flanged plate p when the sleeve h rises. The pin g displaces a spring-actuated V-shaped switch q, which automatically returns the pin into action when the sleeve h is lowered.

Abstract: 9604. Mawdsley, J. H. St. H. April 28. Field magnets.-The field magnet of a dynamoelectric machine in which the operative magnetic flux is at right-angles to the armature shaft consists of a yoke ring 1, Fig. 1, with inwardly-projecting horns 2, 2<a>, two of which together constitute a pole. The horns may be curved or straight, and may project at any angle to form wedge or other shaped ventilating-spaces 3. The pole-faces may be rhomboidal or trapezoidal in shape as shown in Figs. 8 and 11, the central air gap being parallel in the armature shaft either throughout its depth or only near the pole-face. The field coils 5 may be applied to all the pole pieces or to alternate pole-pieces only, and may be of rectangular, rhomboidal, or trapezoidal form. Their breadth is such that their sides 6 lie towards the middle of the inter-polar spaces and close to the armature coils 4<a> which are undergoing commutation. This arrangement is stated to reduce the effective inductance of these coils, to render the magnetizing effect on the armature more defined, and to prevent magnetic leakage between adjacent poles. Rhomboidal, rectangular, or trapezoidal coils may be used with rhomboidal or trapezoidal pole-pieces.

Title: Improvements in Straight Bar Knitting Machines and in the Method of Knitting thereon
Inventor: SMITH JAMES HILL
Filed: 1903-06-18
Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 13,643. Smith, J. H., and Hill, O. A. June 18. Straight-bar knitting - machines. - The object is to produce a piece of fabric by means of a number of independent cams simultaneously traversing a fractional part of the width of the piece, the rate of production being thus increased. The needles are arranged in sets with a separate cam and thread carrier to each set Thus, in Fig. 11, two complete sets of needles 1, 2 are shown, with needles s common to both sets. The forms of needles used in sets 1 and 2 are such as shown at c', c, Fig. 8, and the needles s have the form shown at d. The butts are marked c<2>, c<3>, c<4> c<5>. The division needles may have more than two butts which may be of different form to those on the other needles. Instead of the butts being at different distances from the latches, as shown in Fig. 8, the butts may be on different sides of the needles, as shown at l, l<1>, l<2>, Fig. 10, or the needles may have both forms of butts. Figs. 4 and 5 show a section and an elevation, respectively, of the needle-bar a and adjacent parts. The needles c, c<1>, Figs. 4, 5, and 8 are actuated, respectively, by two cam-bars, one of which is - shown at d'. These bars are adjustably connected together and provided with screws for lateral adjustment for varying the length of loop. The needles d are actuated by the cams on both bars. The sinkers g slide in the fixed bar g<1>, and the sinker cam g<2> for each set of needles is formed on plates g<3> fixed to the reciprocating bar g<4>, which is adjustably attached to the bar d<1>. The plates g<3> carry the thread-carriers. When needles such as those shown in Fig. 10 are used, the needle-bar is cut through in the middle and the cams slide on opposite sides of it. The arrangement shown in Fig. 14 is used when the knitting- cams leave the needles at the knocking-over point. When the cam is at either end of its traverse, the needle passed over, but not knitted upon, is moved a short distance from its knock-over position and passes over the thread between the last formed loop and the thread-carrier, so that, when the cam returns, the thread is wrapped round the needle, which is then lowered to engage with its own cam and form a new loop by drawing a thread through its old loop and the thread wrapped round it. This independent motion of the needles s<4>, s<5> may be obtained by forked levers which embrace the butts t and are operated by rock-shafts. Tho needles s, Fig. 11, and s<4>, s<5>, Fig. 14, may be spaced with regard to their adjacent needles differently from the ordinary needles, and their butts may be arranged to give longer or shorter loops.

Abstract: 15,780. Leclercq, G. Masurel-. July 16. Yarns, sizing.- A device consisting of a vertical or oblique box A containing horizontal steam pipes 1 ... .... 8, in cascade arrangement, connected in series, and formed with radiating wings, is applied to sizing- machines, to air and dry the warp threads after sizing. The warp is drawn from two tiers of rollers, and passes over a stretching-bar F and round a roller H immersed in size contained in a tank I. A roller J squeezes the superfluous size from the warp, which then passes up one side of the box A, over a drum C, down the other side of the box, round a stretching-bar K, and through the ordinary box E of the sizing-machine to the finishing-roller. In some cases, the box E may be dispensed with. The drum C is fitted on its circumference with rods parallel to its axis, and is mounted on a steam pipe 9, which communicates with the pipe 8 and receives the steam supply. The pipe 1 exhausts into the pipes in the box E. Devices 20, 21, 22 are rotated by bands to agitate the heated air in the box A., which is provided with a chimney B. By passing the warp through one or more additional boxes similar to, and arranged at the side of, the box A, the output of the sizing- machine may be further increased. Exhaust ventilators may be applied to the chimneys of the boxes. -
