Title: Improved Method of and Means for Lubricating the Transmission Gear of Motor Vehicles.
IPC: B60R17/00
Filed: 1910-07-19
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 17,137. Rainforth, W., and Napier & Son, D. July 19. Force-feed lubricators. - In an arrangement for lubricating the transmission gear of motorvehicles, oil is circulated positively between the axle casing and the casing of the universal joint to lubricate the joint and the shaft bearings. A pump O, mounted in the lower part of the axle casing F, and operated by an eccentric R on the axle S, forces oil from the casing F through a pipe Y to the casing of the universal joint E, from which the oil flows back to the casing F through a casing G enclosing the driving-shaft A. The pump-inlet V is above the bottom of the casing F, so that the oil in that casing is never lower than the level of the inlet. In a modification, a rotary pump, operated by a chain, forces the oil through a longitudinal bore in the shaft A. The oil may be forced directly through the casing G, a separate pipe being provided for its return. The shaft A itself may be utilized for forcing the oil.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Automatic Weft Replenishing Mechanism of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1911-01-16
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 1106. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Jan. 16. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-A bobbin - conveyer 27<2>, Figs. 1, 4, and 7, carried by an arm 27, is normally rocked in a ccordance with the shuttle-box movements to present the conveyer underneath t h e particular compartment of a multi-compartment magazine 7, which contains bobbins corresponding to that in the active shuttle. When weftreplenishment is indicated, a bobbin is released from the required compartment and falls into the conveyer, which is then moved into a central position under the discharging-end 7<2> of the magazine, to bring the bobbin into the path of the transferrer. The operating-lever 16, which is connected to the change-boxes and operates the usual bobbin-selecting rod 15, has an arm 20 carrying a sliding block 21 linked to the arm 27 pivoted on a stud 28. An arm 29, of which the end 30 normally coincides with the axis of the arm 20, is mounted on this stud 28, and is connected by a link 31 to the sliding block. The arm 29 is provided with an upright latch 33, which has a projecting pin 34 and is yieldingly held in normal position, abutting against a lug 29<2>, by a spring 35. A spring 36 normally maintains the arm 29 in the position shown in Fig. 1, the block 21 resting on a stud 22, so that the lever 16 causes the arm 27 to move in unison with the shuttle boxes. On the occurrence of weft-exhaustion &c., a particular bar 11 is raised and operates bars 9, 10 provided with bobbin-tip and bottom-butt supporting parts, as described in Specification 26,587/10, thus causing the partial release of a bobbin. Afterwards, the bar is depressed and first causes the complete release of a bobbin from a particular compartment, and then, by means of a weighted hook 12, rocks a lever 13 in connexion with the replenishing-mechanism, this lever carrying an arm 13<a>, which engages the pin 34 and moves the latch 33, the arm 29, and the block 21 upwards into a position wherein the sliding block is in line with the axis of the arm 20, so that the bobbin-conveyer containing a bobbin is swung into position beneath the transferrer. As the lay moves rearwards after the bobbin has been ejected from the conveyer, a roll 44 acts on a lever 43 linked to the arm 29, which is thereby returned to normal position. The bobbin-conveyer has an enlarged part provided with wires or rods 45, 49 carrying spring- controlled latches 46, 50, 51, for yieldingly supporting the bobbin tip and butt, a rib 27<3> preventing movement of the bobbin butt.

Abstract: 4489. Imray, O., [Spiegel, A.]. Feb. 22. Separators.-An apparatus for the removal in liquid form of nebular particles from gases or vapours consists of sets of sieves or screens s formed of very thin wires of threads stretched between plates c and thus located parallel to the axis and near the periphery of a drum which revolves in a casing, on the inner surface of which are peripheral channels o terminating in liquid-sealed tubes i. The gases or vapours are compelled to pass through the revolving sieves, and to prevent them from leaving the sieves prematurely, fan blades l attached to the front plate c are adapted to create a back-pressure in the space in which the blades work. The separated particles are thrown by centrifugal action into the channel o. The individual sieves of each set are attached at each end to bars carried in end frames. One frame is fixed to the right-hand plate and the other is carried in a clamp provided with a stud extending through the left-hand plate so that the sieves may be stretched by turning a nut.
