Title: Improvements in Blank Feeding Mechanism.
Inventor: ROBERTSON PETER LYMBURNER
IPC: B23Q7/00
Filed: 1911-03-15
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 19,574. Robertson, P. L. March 15. Turning wood-screws. - In a blank-feeding device, particularly applicable to screw-making machines, blanks pass from a hopper 15 down a shoot 14 to a notched ratchet-operated disk 29, provided with a retaining-strap 41; each blank is then gripped in turn by an oscillating arm 50 which carries it to a chuck. After each blank has been operated upon, it is seized by a spring- clip 104 on a pivoted arm 100 which swings upwards and encounters a stop which ejects it. The hopper-hoist 75, Fig. 9, is lifted by a connecting-rod 76, the crank disk 77 of which is driven through a yielding connexion by chain gearing. The arm 50 has a spring clip for holding the blank, and is connected to a shaft 53, Fig. 2, oscillated by pin-and-slot mechanism from a sliding rod 61 operated by a carn 64<1>; the blank is given a half-turn in its passage to the chuck, this being effected by mutilated bevelgearing 66, 67. The arm 100 is connected to a lever 101, Fig. 11, operated by a cam-piece 111 and slot 110 from a goose-neck lever 39<c>. The lever 101 is first moved laterally by a camoperated lever 120 to clear the chuck, and the slot 110 is formed in a latched member 108<1>, which enables the arm 100 to move upward quickly under the action of its spring 112 when the cam-piece 111 is moved so as to clear its slot, the yielding bevelled end 116 causing reengagement in the slot when the member 108<1> moves upwards. The finished blank is thrown out by the lever 147, Fig. 1, controlled by the forward movement of the slide carrying the pointing-tool. The whole blank-feeding mechanism is mounted on an adjustable pillar. Specification 6522/11 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Yarn from Short Fibres.
Inventor: LEINVEBER ALFRED
IPC: D02G3/00
Filed: 1911-09-08
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 20,027. Leinveber, A. Sept. 8. Yarns; paper pulp &c., forming yarns from.- In a process for producing yarn from short fibres such as cellulose, wood pulp, paper pulp, asbestos and similar material, the moist web of pulp from the flat sieve is divided into from two to four parallel strips and wound to form strip rolls, and such strip rolls are divided by suitable mechanism, such as rotary cutting-disks, into uniform narrow thread strips. The narrow thread strips are formed into preliminary yarn by rounding with the aid of twisting, condensing, or similar devices and are finally spun and wound in conical layers to form hollow spools or cops which allow of being unwound from inwards to outwards. In this way the moisture is maintained and the subsequent moistening for weaving rendered unnecessary. The preliminary yarn itself mav be used without the subsequent spinning, and may be duplicated or twisted in multiple.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Yarn Winding Machinery.
Inventor: SCHOFIELD JOHN ALEXANDER
IPC: B65H54/44
Filed: 1912-01-23
Granted: 1913-04-23
Abstract: 1795. Schofield, J. A. Jan. 23. Winding - machines.- In a drum winding- machine, in order to produce a " close wound " cheese, the traversing- device is driven from the winding - spindle, and the gearing is arranged to vary the delivery point of the yarn at each traverse by an amount equal to the thickness of the thread or group of threads being wound. The speed of traverse may be varied gradually and intermittently. The cheese is wound upon the spindle G, Fig. 1, and is driven frictionally by the drum A' on the main driving-shaft A. The traverse drum C is driven from the spindle G through a countershaft E by means of crossed and open belts H, F. The spindle is carried in arms E', E', centred on the countershaft E. The pulleys E<1>, C<2> may be expansion pulleys in order to facilitate the adjustment of the gearing to give the necessary variation in the delivery point of the yarn in successive traverses. Chain or toothed gearing may be employed between the spindle and the traverse drum. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the traverse drum C is arranged above the cheese G, and the drive from the spindle is through worm gearing G<4>, K', and bevel-gearing K<2>, J<3> to the shaft J<1> on which the arms J carrying the spindle are pivoted, and thence through toothed gearing J<4>, L<2> to the shaft L<1> on which the arms M carrying the traverse drum are centred. The drum C is driven by a crossed belt L from the shaft L<1>. To obtain the necessary lift of the traverse drum, the angular movement of the arms J is multiplied by the toothed quadrants J<5>, L' and carrier pinion N and communicated to the arms L. The pulleys L<3>, C<5> may be expansion pulleys to facilitate the necessary adjustment of the gear ratio. To obtain an intermittent variation of the speed ratio between the spindle and the traverse, the arrangement illustrated in Figs. 5 and 7 may be employed. The spindle G is mounted in arms P, P' centred on the fixed spindle O, and drives through gearing Q<1>, R<1>, R', S, and one pair of the gears S....S<6> and O<5>....O<2> the expansion pulley T from which the traverse drum is driven. The gears S<3>....S<6> are mounted loosely upon a boss S<1> on the gear S and are connected thereto in turn by a key V<2>, which is moved by a spring U bearing against a member V of a ball bearing. The other member V' of the ball bearing rests on one of the steps W<1>.... W<4> of a bracket W. As the cheese grows in diameter and the arms P, P' are raised, the member V<1> is also raised step by step up the bracket W, and the spring U forces the members V, V<1> out against the steps, carrying the key V<2> from one pair of gears to the next.

Title: Method of Connections for Eliminating the Influence of the Temperature on the Current Strength of a Resistance the Magnitude of which Increases with the Temperature.
Filed: 1912-02-07
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 3107. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. March 4, 1911, [Convention date]. Resistances.-In order to render the strength of current in a resistance W independent of temperature, although this resistance changes with temperature and is heated by the passage of current, the resistance is shunted by a resistance W<1> having a positive temperatureresistance coefficient, and both are connected in series with another resistance W<2>, the resistances and temperature-coefficients being suitably chosen by calculation. The rates of cooling of the three resistances are made equal; or the series resistance W<2> may have a low temperature-coefficient, and the cooling-rates of the other resistances W, W<1> be equal. The heat evolved in the resistances W<1>, W<2> should be as small as possible. The resistance W may be the field-winding of a motor. Specifications 4454/81. and 15,290/04 are referred to.

Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 6759. Waite, F., and Elliott & Co. March 19. Delivery apparatus. - In a stop - cylinder printing- machine, the sheets are taken from the cylinder 9 by grippers 13 moving in a circular or other path and transferred to gripper chains 7, which drop them on to intermittently moving tapes 14 encircled by the chains 7. These tapes forward the sheets at suitable times to final tape or other delivery devices 20 situated outside the chains 7, the gap between the tapes 14, 20 being bridged if desired by fixed guides or otherwise. In the preferred form, the grippers 13 are mounted on a spur-wheel 10 and a disk 12, both fixed to the shaft 11 and driven intermittently by the fixed cylinder gear, and the spur-wheel 10 also drives the chains 7. The tapes 14 receive an oscillatory motion from the oscillating cylinder gear through the gearing 18, and are mounted in arms 16 pivoted at 17 so that, when the tapes have received the sheet, they are lifted through the devices 21 so as to enable the sheet to bridge the gap between the tapes 14, 20 in spite of sagging. In alternative constructions, the grippers 13 are also on chains, the chains 7 have guide-pieces at suitable points to bridge the gap between the tapes 14, 20; or the chains 7 are driven otherwise than through the cylinder gear, and continuously.
