Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Threading Tuft Yarns through the Tubes of a Tube Frame for use in Carpet and like Looms.
Inventor: HATHAWAY EDGAR FAY
IPC: D03D39/02
Filed: 1910-04-19
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 23,320. Hathaway, E. F., and Lea, C. April 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Tuft-yarn tubes, threading. -In a machine for threading tuft-yarns through the tubes used in Axminster and like carpet looms, means are provided for guiding the needles after they have emerged from the tubes to engage the yarns. The tubes 8 and their connecting-bar 7 are mounted on the bed 9 of the machine, and a notched bar 10 is turned down to engage and space the tubes. The. hooked needles 12 are mounted in a holder 13, which is moved forwards by means of a rack 14 and pinion 15. The needles are guided by a bar 18, which is mounted on spring- controlled rods 19 so arranged that the bar 18 moves forwards with the needles until it is arrested by the edge of the part 9. When the hooked ends of the needles emerge from the tubes, they are guided by a notched bar 21, which is turned down into its operative position by means of a lever 23 operated by a pin 25 on the rack 14. The needles then engage the yarns 1, which pass upwards from the spool 2 and are, before threading, held with their ends in a comb 4. The invention may be applied to a machine having only one needle, in which case the needle and the bar 21, which has only one notch, are moved relatively to the tubes, or vice versa.

Title: Improvements in Loose Leaf Ledgers and the like.
Inventor: BROOKS HERBERT CHARLES
Filed: 1910-12-20
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 29,583. Brooks, H. C. Dec. 20. Post files; fastenings.-In a loose-leaf ledger &c., the leaves are bound together in sections which are connected by links to form a book. The section-holding means consist of flattened hollow filing-posts a<1> which project from each side of a double plate a, to which are hinged two plates b carrying hooked prongs b<1>, which enter the posts a<1> and are adapted to be engaged by sliding bars d, which may be spring-influenced, so as to retain the sheets on the posts. Instead of a double plate a, a single plate may be employed with posts a<1> on one side only and one hinged plate b. These sheet-holding devices are provided with a trunnion e at each end to which the links f are connected. A means for locking the bars in position consists of a series of toothed wheels g which are mounted on the trunnions e at one end of the ledger so as to be in gear with one another. These wheels are each provided with a notch g' wide enough to allow the two bars d to pass therethrough, and the bars are themselves slotted to receive the wheels g. When the wheel of any section lies in the slots d' in the bars d, the said section is locked and can be opened only by turning its wheel till the notch g<1> therein coincides with the slots d<3> in the bars d, and so allows the latter to be moved. One of the sheet-holding devices, shown in Fig. 5, is adapted to have its bars d locked by a padlock engaging holes d<4> therein. One of the bars d is cut off short and does not enter the wheel notch g<1>, which may in this case be wide enough to receive only the one bar. On removing the lock, the bar d can be moved till its slot d<3> comes over the wheel, whereupon any wheel can then be turned to allow its section to be opened. The locking section is held closed in this position of its bars d, the hooks on the prongs b<1> being made of different lengths from the ordinary for this purpose.

Abstract: 10,447. Hutchinson, R. H. April 29. [Cognate Application, 16,292/11.] Motor road vehicle signals. -A device for signalling the turning and stopping of motor road-vehicles to vehicles in the rear comprises a semicylindrical upper portion for exposing a ' slow-up ' signal when the brake is applied, and a semicircular lower portion having a pointer 23 operated from the steering- wheel or by hand to indicate turning-movements. The signal casing 8, 9 is hinged at 10 on the base 7 and fixed by a catch 11. The pointer 23 moves over a semi-transparent plate 24 marked with the letters L and R, and controls by the contact 33 the circuits of two lamps 34, one or the other of which is lit up according to the direction in which the pointer turns. The Bowden wires 31 which operate the pointer through oval gears 27, 28 may be connected to a controller of the kind described in Specification 8811/11. The ' slow-up ' signal is cut in a curved stencil plate 6, backed by a semi-transparent plate 36, and fixed to frame-projections 12 by rods 35 passing through curled lugs. The signal is normally concealed by a pair of intergeared segmental shutters 13, which are brought together by a spring 18, but when the brake is applied, a wire 17 causes them to separate, and the circuit of electric lamps 20 is closed by the lower shutter bridging two laterally displaced contacts 21. The brake operates through a Bowden cable 58, Fig. 5, a pivoted cam 53, which controls the signal wire 64 through a. lever 60 carrying a roller 61. In a modification, a sliding cam inside the signal casing rocks a centrally pivoted lever, the ends of which are linked to arms of the shutters. In both arrangements the shutters are fully opened by the initial movement of the brake. According to Provisional Specification 10,447/11, the ' slow-up ' signal may be arranged vertically with the direction indicator above or below, and the latter may consist of a pointer painted on a rotatable dial.
