Abstract: 20,391. Masurel, G. Nov. 20, 1908, [Convention date]. Drying yarns in long lengths.-Comprises a form of drying-apparatus for sized warps in which the warps pass round a rotary drum heated by steam-pipes, within a casing heated in like manner, under a forced draught created by fans within the chamber. The apparatus is particularly applicable for drying woollen warps without causing them to felt. Two warp layers which pass from sizing-vessels 3, 4 over rollers 5, travel over a coil of steam-pipes 8 and then over rollers 9, 10 provided with short radial projections 12. Fans 13 within the rollers accelerate the drying; and steel wire brushes 16 mounted on the end of adjustable elastic blades 18 remove surplus size from the projections. The warp layers then come together and pass round a large drum 21 provided with similar projections for diminishing the adherence of the threads. The drum is mounted on ball bearings on a fixed shaft 30 and is rotated by the passage of the warps. Within the drum is a closed stationary drum 35 forming a support for a steam heating-coil 39. The steam is supplied to, and discharged from, the coil by way of ducts in the shaft 30. The casing 48 is provided with double walls, whereby the hot air and moisture are caused by a fan 51 to circulate round the apparatus, and form a hot jacket, before being discharged at the top. Valves 61, 53 permit an excess of hot air &c. to be discharged directly through the exit. Fans 55, 56, and 57 are provided for agitating the hot saturated air. A partition 58, located adjacent to the outlet for the sized warps, is also provided with a brush for keeping clean the projections of the large drum.

Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 28,064. National Cash Register Co., [National Cash Register Co.]. Dec. 1. Cash registers; operating by motors; keys for clerks.-Relates to improvements in electricallyoperated cash registers in which, after amount and special-transaction keys have been set, the depression of a clerk's key starts the motor. The machine is mainly of the kind described in Specification 12,544/04, the key-interlock and coupler action being the same. The key-levers are arranged to be set by plunger keys 13, and are held set by detent plates 43, one for each bank. The clerks' keys engage camarms 48 on a shaft 49, which has a crank carrying a link 51 pressed forwards by a coiled spring 50<a>, so as to engage a fixed pin 57. The link has a shouldered end to engage a pin 53<a> on a lever 69 linked to the starting-switch arm 56. Depression of a clerk's key thus starts the motor, at the same time raising the stop end 72 of the lever 69 from a stud on the shaft 61 of the driven worm-wheel 60, and throwing a roller 71 on a third arm of the lever into position to be engaged, at the end of the revolution, with a cam 64, which re-sets the lever 69 and stop arm 72 and throws out the switch. A cam 63 rocks a crank 67 on the shaft of the key-coupler, which may have a restoring- spring 12<a>, The link 51, after starting the motor, is thrown out of engagement with the pin 53<a> by a cam 52 engaging the fixed pin, and is held down by an extension 48<a> of the clerk's key engaging the pin 46 of the key-lever during its movement. By this means, a second operation is prevented until all the parts have been restored to normal. The key-levers are returned by the coupler after the detent plates 43 have been rocked to clear the key-lever notches by a cam on the shaft 37 engaging an arm on the detent-carrying spindle.

Abstract: 4002. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 16. Regulating. - In turbo - generator plant wherein, in the event of the failure of supply of low-pressure steam to a mixed-pressure turbine, the speed governor of the latter is liable to be rendered ineffective owing to the absorption of energy from the bus-bars, the valves are directly operated by mechanism controlled by the pressure of the low-pressure steam. A pressure chamber 11 is provided with a flexible diaphragm 10 connected to the stem 13 of the pilot valve of the servo-motor by link-work 17, 24. The upper side of the diaphragm is subjected to the pressure of the low-pressure steam and the underside is subjected to atmospheric pressure. In the case of failure of the low-pressure supply, the diaphragm is lifted and the consequent movement of the stem 13 causes the high - pressure steam - valves to be opened. At the same time, by suitable linkwork, the throttling action of the speed regulating governor is prevented. The device is adjusted for various steam pressures by sliding the diaphragm chamber along the bar 25. The invention is described in connexion with valvegear as described in Specification 27,180/10. In a modification, lost motion is provided between the diaphragm and the pilot valve stem, whereby the device is rendered inoperative for slight fluctuations of pressure. In this modification, slight adjustments may be effected by means of an adjustable spring acting on the diaphragm, and by the action of a regulatable by-pass connecting the pressure chamber with the atmosphere. In a further modification, the diaphragm acts directly upon the lever of the speed-regulating governor.
