Title: Improvements in Automatic Shuttle Changing Devices for Looms.
Inventor: STRUEDEL ALBERT
Filed: 1906-11-07
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 25,075. Str³del, A. Nov. 7. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism. - A double shuttle box 11, 12, Figs. 2 and 3, is used, and is adapted to slide along a stationary plate 10, so that during the shuttle-changing, and while the shuttle sent from the compartment 11 is in the opposite or lay shuttle box, the compartment 11 comes under the shuttle magazine 9 and a full shuttle falls into this compartment. The empty shuttle is picked into the compartment 12, and falls through its open bottom, the double shuttle box being returned by spring action. The usual clamping-devices 14 are used in the two compartments, that in the compartment 11 being, however, released or opened, to allow the shuttle from the magazine to enter readily, by means of a steel band 17 carried over a roller 18 mounted on the double shuttle box. The band is fixed at one end to an eye in the stationary slide frame 10, and at the other to the resilient end of the clamping- device 14. The double shuttle box is connected to the lay by a spring-controlled slide plate 28, Fig. 2, rotating around a bolt 29, and its downwardly-directed guide-pin. 28<1> is pressed against a cam-shaped portion of a slide rail 30 of the lay o. The picker is forced by a spring against a displaceable striking-bolt 22. To release periodically the tip of the shattle, which abuts against the picker 15 and is kept there by the clamping-device 14, when shuttle-changing occurs, the striking-bolt 22 is reciprocated by a pusher-rod 23 pressed by a spring 25 and having a rod with a bowl 24 pressed against the slide face of a bent part 26 connected to the lay, so that the shuttle is released and the motion is not interfered with. The spring 25 also serves as a buffer for the picker 15. The double shuttle box has a cover-plate 13, Fig. 3. When the weft is almost or completely exhausted from the shuttle, a spring-pressed and adjustable weft finger or feeler, fitting through slots in the lay shuttle box and in the shuttle, respectively, is moved inwardly sufficiently to withdraw a small rod from one end of a hooked lever mounted in a hearing h on a lever i, so that the hooked lever falls into position to be engaged by a cam-oscillated hooked lever d. The lever i is actuated, a shaft k is rocked, levers t, u are raised, and a double-armed lever v is oscillated. The latter acts on a lever w, fitting through a slot in a bolt x, which can turn about its own axis. The bolt a and lever w are rocked so that a bowl y carried thereby moves at right-angles to a wheel 2, against spring action, into position to be engaged by a slide way z on the outer surface thereof. The lever w is then rocked into the position shown in dotted lines, and, through a rod 4 and lever 5, rocks a sbaft 6 carrying arms 7, which engage bolts fitting through slots in the plate 10 and secured to the double shuttle box ; this causes the latter to slide forwards, whereupon shuttlechanging occurs as described above.

Patent GB-190809859-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Starting Devices for Electric Motors
Inventor: KALLMANN MARTIN
Filed: 1908-05-06
Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 9859. Kallmann, M. Oct. 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Motor control systems.-To start a motor, resistances with high temperature-coefficients are connected across the brushes, and are then connected in parallel with the series resistance, and finally all resistance is cut out. When the switch arm 5, Fig. 1, is on the contact 9, the special resistances 3, 4, preferably of iron are in parallel with the armature 1. As the motor speedsup, the temperature and resistance of this parallel path rise. While the resistances 3, 4 are hot, the switch acm 5 is moved to the contact 7, thus connecting the resistances 3, 4 in parallel with the series resistance 2. Their temperature and resistance then drop and the'motor speed rises. All resistance is cut out by moving the arm 5 on to the contact 8. An arrangement is shown in Fig. 2, in which, by opening the switch 11 before the arm 5 touches the contact 7, the resistances 3, 4 alone are' connected in series with the armature. A constant resistance may be connected between the resistances" 3, 4 and the arm 5, or between the positive brush and the contact 9, or between the contact 7 and the series resistance 2. The resistances 3, 4 may be switched in parallel with a part of the resistance 2, and the cutting-out of resistance may be effected in two steps, as in the arrangement shown in Fig. 6. The arm 5 is capable of touching the three contacts 7, 8, 15 together. An automatic arrangement is shown in Fig. 7. The relay 18 is connected to the mains and, when energized, closes the motor circuit across the contacts 29, 30. The contact 24 is normally held against the contact 23 by the spring 22 to complete the parallel path through resistances 3, 4. As the motor speeds up, the voltage on the coil 16 rises until the core 19 is moved to separate the contacts 23, 24, and to close the contacts 25, 26 in order to connect the resistances 3, 4 in parallel with the resistance 2. After this, the relay 17 is operated to cut out all resistance. The relay 17 may be omitted by arranging for a farther movement of the core 19, or by using a second core ; or, the relay 17 may be operated by the working voltage against a retarding-device. The relay 16 may be operated in the same manner, and a reversing- relay may be used instead of the relay 18. To avoid injury to the resistances 3, 4 when stopping the motor, the spring 22 is arranged to return the core 19 to its normal position only when the voltage across the armature has dropped to a small amount. Specifications No. 16,292, A.D. 1905, and No. 24,995, A.D. 1906, are referred to.

Title: Improved Construction of Dough Kneading Machines.
Inventor: ANRIOT GEORGES
Filed: 1909-03-09
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 15,451. Anriot, G. March 9, 1909. Moving-stirrer apparatus; moving-containerapparatus.-Relates to a dough-kneading machine which may be adapted to work with the ordinary handkneading troughs. The kneading is effected by means of two vanes which may receive a horizontal rotation or a combined vertical and horizontal rotation as required. Simultaneously the doughcontainer is given a reciprocating motion. Fig. 1 shows the kneading-machine in section. A vertical shaft D supported by a sleeve F carries at its lower end two shafts E, upon which are mounted pinions L, to the sleeves G of which are fixed the steel vanes B. Surrounding the shaft D is a hollow shaft H which carries a bevelled'wheel K gearing with the pinions L. Slidably mounted on the upper part of the shaft H is a ratchet ring I adapted to engage a ratchet J fixed on the shaft D. The ratchet ring I is raised or lowered by giving a half-turn to a fly-wheel M provided on its underside with a tooth M<1> engaging a notch on a ring R fixed to the shaft H. Motion is imparted to the shaft D through the sleeve F, and when the ratchets I, J are in engagement, relative movement of the wheels K, L is prevented and the vanes receive a simple horizontal rotation. By disconnecting the ratchets I, J and preventing the fly-wheel M from rotating by means of a chain attached to it and the wall, the bevelled wheel K remains stationary and the vanes receive a rotation about their axes in addition to the horizontal rotation. The trough C, Fig. 2, is mounted on rails and receives a reciprocating motion from an endless chain Q, a finger S on which engages tappets T, T<1> on the trough. The machine is carried by an arm pivoted on a vertical shaft attached to the wall. By disconnecting the shaft D from the sleeve F, the machine may be swung round against the wall.

Abstract: 25,081. Keppie, P. R. Nov. 21. Telegraphs, mechanical.-In a mechanical ship's telegraph receiver of the type in which the index-shaft is geared down through a Geneva-stop or other arrangement from the transmitting shaft, the warning-bells are rung by a trip gear on the comparatively rapidly rotating transmission shaft, and a device operated by a cam on the index or other shaft is provided whereby one of the two warning-bells may be rung to indicate whether the order is for ahead or astern. As shown in Fig. 1, the index shaft 6 is geared down from the collinear transmission shaft 5 through a Geneva-stop gearing mounted on an intermediate shaft 8. On this shaft is mounted a groove-cam 19 with which engages a pin on a lever which is in connexion with the bellringing trip-cam or star-wheel 18 on the transmission shaft. So long as the index moves over the ahead part of the dial the trip-cam operating on the two bell-hammers 15, Fig. 7, through the trip-lever 16 causes only the ahead bell 14 to ring ; but when the index is on the astern, part of the dial the groove-cam 19 causes the trip cam to be moved along the transmission shaft and to engage with the trip lever through which the astern bell 14<a> is rung. When the index is at " stop " the trip-cam engages with both levers and botb bells are rung simultaneously. In modifications of the invention a single pair of hammers may be used and the bells may be moved so that either of the bells may be rung, or the hammers may move relatively to fixed bells.
