Filed: 1910-03-08
Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 5768. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. March 8. Change-box motions.-In a loom which has a Hollingworth & Knowles' head motion and is driven by means of a friction clutch 6<1>, 8<1>, Fig. 1, the head motion can be operated and the pattern cylinder can be turned in either direction, when the loom is stopped, by means of a single handle 49. When the handle 49 is turned downwards about the axis 47, rods 45, 42 turn a frame 29 about a centre 28 and press a friction pulley 31 against the driving-strap 7, thus causing rotation of a vertical shaft 39 carrying a pinion 41. The usual clutch on the shaft 19 for driving the head motion is provided with a toothed portion 25<1> so arranged that, when the clutch is thrown out of action, the toothed portion 25<1> engages the pinion 41, thus enabling the pulley 31 to drive the head motion. The bevel-wheel 69, Fig. 3, fixed to the spindle of the pattern cylinder for the harness and change-box motions, is driven in either direction by means of a clutch controlled by a lever 59 operated by longitudinal movement of the rod 49. When the lever 59 is moved in either direction, it causes a pin 61<1> on a sleeve 61 to slide through one of the collars 65, 66 on a shaft 62 and to enter a hole in one of the pinions 67, 68, thus locking the pinion to the rotating shaft 62:

Inventor: OLVIS JAMES EDWARD
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1910-04-21
Granted: 1911-07-21
Abstract: 9775. Olvis, J. E. April 21. Centrifugal governors. -For connecting a dynamo to an accumulator at one speed, and disconnecting it when the speed is excessive, two centrifugal governors are used. On the end of the dynamo shaft a a cylindrical casing k is secured, inside which, and surrounding a tube q, is a block 10 having three radial inclined recesses in which are balls p. A similar block r is placed over the balls and connected to the tube g. A bushing n is then screwed into the casing, a spring x between the casing and a boss on the block r tending to hold this block and the tube q in a position in which the switch e, f is open. When a certain speed is reached, the balls p separate the blocks r, 10, thus drawing the cap v inwards and allowing the springs g to close the switch e, f. The second similar governor, arranged in a casing l screwed on to the bushing n, acts to thrust a rod z to the right to engage the inner end of the rod s when the speed is excessive. The cap v is thus caused to open the switch e, f, compressing the spring u. The springs x, z of the respective centrifugal devices vary in stiffness according to the speeds at which they are intended to operate. In an alternative form, the recesses holding the balls are formed in the members k, l, and the blocks r, 10 are replaced by flat disks. The member k may form the driving-pulley of the dynamo or be coupled to a sprocket-wheel for driving the dynamo.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Trolley Poles for Electric Traction on the Overhead Conductor System.
Inventor: CHRISTIAN ARTHUR RICHMOND
IPC: B60L5/14
Filed: 1910-06-27
Granted: 1911-06-27
Abstract: 15,414. Christian, A. R. June 27. Arresters and releasing-devices for collectors; supporting-arrangements for collectors.-In devices for releasing the supporting-springs or trolly collectors upon an abnormal upward movement of the pole, the bridge for taking the thrust of the springs is normally secured by pawls which upon an abnormal movement are withdrawn, thus permitting the spring to relax and the pole to fall; a retarding-device is also described for assisting the re-setting of the parts. In trollies of the type shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the movable bridge 6 is normally secured to the connecting rods 4 by the pawls 9, Fig. 10, pivoted to the bridge. If the collector leaves the conductor, the pole 1 rises and the rods 4 and the bridge move towards another bridge 11 fixed to the part 7. The second bridge is provided with inclines 11<a>, Fig. 10, which disengage the pawls and allow the pole to fall. The pole is arrested in falling by the buffer spring 12. To re-set the collector, the pole is pulled down until, through the flexible connexions 14, the bridge 6 is moved sufficiently to allow the retarding rollers 28 to pass between the bridges. The pole is then liberated and is under sufficient spring pressure to move the rods 4 so that the pawls 9 re-engage the slots in the rods. The rollers 28 then drop clear under their own weight, and the collector is ready for normal running. To prevent the rebounding of the pole when arrested by the buffer spring 12, trip bars 17 pivoted to the bridge 13 are adapted to engage pins 18 and lock the bridges together until released by the retarding device. The invention is also shown as applied to standards having vertical enclosed supporting- springs. The buffer spring 12 assists the main supporting - spring 8 during normal running, and may be arranged within the part 7 or normally form a part of the main spring, as shown in Fig. 18.

Title: Improvements in Waist Bands for Garments.
Inventor: GRAHAM ROBERT WILBUR
IPC: A41F9/00
Filed: 1911-12-04
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 27,110. Graham, R. W., and Reider, C. Dec. 4. Trousers &c.-Waistbands, particularly for trousers, are made convertible so that the garment may be lengthened or shortened so as to be worn either with or without suspenders. In the latter case, a belt may or may not be used. The material of the upper part 1 is extended for about two inches beyond the ordinary waist line, and the extension 2 is folded inwards and lined with stiffening-canvas 3. A lining-strip 4 of any suitable material is arranged on the face of the stiffening - strip and stitched to the trousers top along a line 3<a> about half an inch above the lower edge of the downturned member 2. In effect, this forms a band stitched to the trousers intermediately of its width at a point below the median line thereof, and the folding of this band on the line of stitching 3<a> will lengthen or shorten the " rise ", i.e. the distance between the top edge of the trousers and the crutch. A depending lining-strip or skirt 5 is also stitched to the trousers to form a reinforcing-member at the waist. The extension 2 may have a number of transverse belt-receiving loops 6, which may be formed by slits in the band, preferably in the seams of the trousers. A row of buttons is provided as usual on the other side of the band above the stitching line 3<a>. The line of stitching 3<a> leaves the inner and outer members of the band separated at their ends so that they may overlap the fly of the placket. Two fastening-members 9, 10 are secured to the inner faces and both members of the waistband, and co-operate respectively with members 11, 12, secured respectively to the outer face of the outer member and to the inner face of the inner member. Fig. 1 shows the trousers as used with suspenders; with the band turned outwards, as shown in Fig. 2, the garment may be worn with or without a belt, as the extra 'thickness of material which is thereby placed around the waist of the wearer assisted by turning down the top edge of the trousers, the diameter of which is slightly less than the diameter at the waist line, tightens the garment on the body. The extension 2 may be made from a separate ciece of material.
