Title: Machine for Flattening Top Lifts.
Inventor: BOLTON ALBERT JAMES
IPC: A43D83/00
Filed: 1910-04-25
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 10,060. Bolton, A. J. April 29,1909, [Convention date]. Heels, machines for.-A machine for flattening top-lifts, comprising a stationary block 20, a vertically reciprocating table 23, and an horizontally reciprocating slide 24 carrying the die plate 31, has a self-retracting ejecting- plunger 37, which is actuated to eject the lift, as the die moves forwards over the plunger after the operation, by means of a lever 41. This lever is pivoted to the table 23, which also carries the plunger. It has a dog 43, which is pivoted to the lever at its forward extremity, so that it cannot tilt forwardly. A dog 45, pivoted to the slide 24 so that it cannot swing rearwards farther than the position shown, tilts the lever 41 by engaging the dog 43 as the slide moves forwardly. This action occurs just before the centre of the die reaches the plunger. The engaging faces of the dogs are approximately vertical, so that the plunger 37 is raised rapidly. The die carries integral pins 33, which are engaged by pivoted plates 34 to retain it in position. The rear and sides of the die opening are bevelled.

Title: Machine for Cutting and Stripping Waste Yarn from Bobbins, Spools and the like.
IPC: B65H73/00
Filed: 1911-01-04
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 208. Marks, E. C. R., [Walsh Baker Corporation]. Jan. 4. Bobbins &c., stripping w a s t c from.-A machine for automatically cutting and stripping the waste left on bobbins, spools, &c. comprises a rotatable table 2 accurately centred by a depending flange 5 on a flanged support 1, and having a series of alternate slots 7 and dwells 8 which respectively co-operate with a pin 9 and a hub 16 of an ordinary Geneva movement mounted on a shaft 11 driven by bevel-gearing from a shaft 14, and by which the table is given an accurate step-by-step movement. The bobbins 18 are positioned on the table opposite the dwells 8 by seats 19, and are engaged at the bottom by spring-pressed conical-ended pins 21 carried by the table, and at the top by a series of spring- pressed conical-ended pins 28 carried by a ring 33, supported by pillars 34 above the table 2. A cam 37 fixed to the support 1 and extending from 39-40, Fig. 1, is adapted to engage the heads 38 of the pins 28 to pull them down so that the operator can engage the top of a bobbin under a pin 28 and the bottom with the corresponding seat 19. As soon as a head leaves the cam, the spring 25 forces the pin up to engage the bobbin, which is yieldingly held against rotation by a spring 23. The bobbin is carried round step by step to the right, Fig. 1, and at one of the halts each pin 28 comes opposite a friction wheel 41 driven by bevel-gearing from the shaft 14 and the head 38 is rotated thereby until a spring detent 43, attached to the pin 28, which is held against rotation by a pin and slot 31, snaps into a longitudinal groove 36 cut in the bobbin, which is then held with the groove 36 facing outwards. The bobbin is then carried to the cutting-device which consists of a wedge-shaped knife 46 having its cutting-edge facing outwards and pivoted at 47 to a head 48 slidably mounted on a pillar 49 and reciprocated by links 51, 54 and cam 56 from the shaft 14. As each bobbin halts in front of the knife, a spring 60 acts on a heel 61 thereof and forces it into the slot 36, and the head 48 is moved downwards to cause the knife to cut through the waste 35 on the bobbin ; the head then moves upwardly again, a heel 65 of the knife striking against an adjustably fixed stop 63 and turning the knife out of the slot. The bobbin is now carried to the next halt, where the yarn is stripped or cleaned from the bobbin by a brush 68 carried by an arm 66 on the reciprocating head 48 and as the bobbin leaves this stripping- device, the cam 37 engages the head of the pin 21, which is moved downwardly out of engagement with the bobbin. The arm 66 also carries an adjustable depending rod 69 which is disposed in front of the next halting position of the bobbin and strikes the end 71 of a spring- controlled pivoted ejector 72, the leather-covered end 75 of which strikes the lower end of the stripped bobbin and ejects it into a basket.
