Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 16,804. Levy, H. Sept. 15, 1910, [Convention date]. Cutting out embroidery.-In a machine of the type in which a knife coacts with a ledge to form a slot which allows the unembroidered portion only of the fabric to pass through it, the knife is kept stationary during the cutting-operation, but is adjustable as regards its inclination to the direction of feed of the material to adapt the knife for cutting embroideries of varying sizes. The material is introduced on a table beneath a verticallyadjustable guide-plate 9 and spring-controlled presser-plates 15, 10, and is fed forwards to the obliquely-disposed knife by conveyer-chains 53 and coacting press-bands 26, supported by shoes 25 which are so mounted as to be capable of being raised from and locked out of engagement with the chains 53 by a lever 37. The chains 53 and bands 26 diverge from one another in the direction of feed, and are adapted to be adjusted relatively to or from each other simultaneously with the adjustment of the inclination of the knife. The knife and its coacting ledge are mounted on a support 65, rigidly mounted in a support holder 62. This holder is pivoted at one end in a vertical bearing 61 secured to a bracket 45, its other end carrying a pin 63 which engages a slotted guide 64 secured to a bracket 46. This bracket is adjustable to and from the bracket 45 to vary the inclination of the knife bv a screw spindle 48. A revolving brush 70 acting on the fabric serves to maintain its raised portion in engagement wth the guide-plate 9.

Title: Improvements in Door or Gate Checks.
Inventor: WOOLLISCROFT JOHN HAROLD
IPC: E05F3/02
Filed: 1911-10-20
Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 23,204. Woolliscroft, J. H. Oct. 20. Dash-pots.-Relates to pneumatic door checks of the kind in which the piston leaves the cylinder entirely when the door is opened, and consists in forming the piston as a compressible or hollow flexible ball which expands during the checking stroke to prevent leakage of air, and contracts during the free stroke to prevent resistance to opening of the door. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the piston comprises a hollow ball 3, preferably of rubber, having an opening at its forward end and carried by a spiral spring 4 secured to the door. The bell-mouthed cylinder 6 is fixed to the door frame, is provided with an adjustable vent 9, and has the inner portion 12 of its bore enlarged so that the final closing movement of the door is rapid to ensure latching. During the inward movement of the piston in the cylinder, the compression of the air expands the ball against the cylinder walls, and during the outward stroke, the partial vacuum in the cylinder causes the piston to contract and allow an easy opening. In a modification, the cylinder is provided with a rubber lining having a portion projecting from the front of the cylinder and folded upon itself to form an annular channel so that the air during the checking stroke is forced into the channel and the lining is pressed against the piston to prevent the escape of air. The flexible ball may be replaced by a solid compressible ball. The Provisional Specification also describes an arrangement in which the cylinder is made entirely of rubber and the plunger of hard wood.

Patent GB-191209985-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Rail-lubricating Appliances.
Inventor: WARNECKE CARL
IPC: B61K3/00
Filed: 1912-04-26
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 9985. Warnecke, C. April 26. Rails.-Relates to devices for applying either lubricant or water to tramway rails, of the kind actuated automatically by passing vehicles, as described in Specification 8531/12, and consists in arranging for the piston of the oil pump to serve also as a piston valve for the water supply. A valve h has a straight passage n and a T-shaped passage n<1>, and can be turned by a key to open either a water supply pipe f or a suction pipe g, by which the pump b draws oil from the reservoir a. Fig. 3 shows the position for supplying water. The piston d, when depressed against a spring by a vehicle wheel, connects by means of an angular passage c, the pipe f to a pipe k leading to a valve box e. The water pressure opens a valve e<2> and closes a valve e<1>, and the water flows through a union l to pipes m, m<1>, discharging into the rail groove. In this position of the valve h the passage n<1> connects the pipe g to a pipe o, down which air is sucked into the cylinder when the piston d rises. To shut off the water and to deliver oil the valve h is turned through 90 degrees. The pump then sucks oil through the pipe g and delivers it through a duct i to the valve box e. The valve c' opens and the valve e<2> closes, the oil being discharged through the pipes l, m, m<1> into the rail groove. If neither water nor oil is required, the pipe f is closed by an external valve. In a modification the piston d is operated by the armature of an electro-magnet placed in a compartment in the chamber a. The electro-magnet is energized from the overhead conductor of an electric tramway by a contact operated by the trolly or yoke. A switch is provided to connect the magnet directly to the overhead conductor for testing purposes; the switch has also a neutral position to render the apparatus inoperative.
