Title: Improvements in Means for Applying Lubricant to Railway Wheel Flanges.
Inventor: PHILLIPS FRANK GRIMMER
IPC: B61K3/02
Filed: 1909-02-27
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 4815. Phillips, F. G. Feb. 27, 1908, [Con vention date]. Lubricant conveyed by mechanical means.-A lubricator for supplying oil to the side of the flange of a wheel for railway and tramway vehicles, which engages with a guard rail 3 when rounding curves, comprises an oil receptacle 8 mounted on a hinge 7 on the track-frame 5. The oil is applied by a wheel 10, which projects through the side of the reservoir 8 and is driven by frictional contact of the wheel 4. One or more lifting-wheels 9 supply oil to the wheel 10, against which they are pressed by springs 11. Normally the device is held in the inoperative position by a light spring 12, but on approaching a curve the reservoir 8 is tilted to bring the wheel 10 into contact with the flange, either by means controlled by the driver, or automatically by means of a rod or cord 15, and a spring 16 operated by the relative movement of the wheel-truck 5 and the car-frame 6. The tilting may be effected by a bell-crank or cam under the free edge of the reservoir, connected by a cord to the frame 6.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Locking and Safeguarding Doors or Guards and Shielding Moving Parts of Machinery.
Inventor: ASHWORTH ELIJAH
IPC: D01G31/00
Filed: 1909-05-05
Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 10,636. Ashworth, E. May 5. Guards, controlling.-In devices for ensuring the closing and locking of doors or guards which shield moving parts of machinery and for preventing re-opening as long as the moving part is in motion, a single locking-lever is used which cannot be fully moved until the belt has been moved on to the loose pulley and until the moving part has come to rest. In applying the device to the door of a carding-engine cylinder, a lever a, Fig. 2, is provided at one end with a projection a<2> to lock into a bar connected to the door, and at the other end with a sector or feeler d as described in Specification 1368/09. An arm e is also mounted on the lever a, and, as the lever is moved, this arm comes into contact with an arm h which can rock about a pin g. This arm h as it moves carries with it a weighted cam k, which is mounted on a yielding support j, and takes it into contact with the fast pulley f. As long as the fast pulley is rotating, it turns the cam k and pushes the arm h back, an extension on the cam spindle engaging the arm h, thus preventing the lever a from being fully moved to release the bar connected to the door. The cam may be carried by a pivoted lever and may be kept up to its work bv a spring. The flexible mounting of the cam allows a full movement of the lever a when the fast pulley is at rest. In place of the cam, a wedge sliding up an incline against the action of a spring may be used. The feeler d acts to lock the belt and prevent its return on to the fast pulley as long as the door is open; or the movement of the lever a may be utilized to actuate mechanism to bring some obstruction into the way of the belt, or to exhibit a signal. Specification 23,628/08, [Class 120, Spinning], is referred to.

Abstract: 1505. Barber & Colman, and Bingham, T. E. Jan. 20. Warp threads, uniting.- A truck or carriage a, Fig. 1, mounted upon wheels b on rails c, has an upright d supporting warp-uniting mechanism, such as the knottying device described in Specifications 18,778/00 and 2311/03, [both in Class 112, Sewing &c.], and carries a seat for the operative, who, by depressing a foot-lever k, actuates, through a lever j, and link i, an arm h, which operates the knotting-mechanism. Simultaneously, a pawl m drives a ratchet-wheel n and gears o, whereby the carriage is traversed. A spring-controlled bell-crank lever p, q bears against the warp threads to be united, the arm q preventing the pawl from picking one or more teeth and so varying the traverse, according to the position of the threads to be united. The pawl m may be put out of action to allow for backward traverse of the carriage, which may be provided with one or more brakes to prevent overrunning. The fabric s, Fig. 3, from which the loose ends of warp threads f extend is impaled upon pins u on a pin-bar w, which supports a channelbracket x supporting a reed v bearing against the weft threads of the fabric s, clips 3 on a shaft 2 carried in brackets z also engaging the reed, so that when the warp threads fare brushed out before being secured in the clamp t they are given an even tension. When in its innermost position, the shaft 2 engages catches, which may be depressed or otherwise moved out of position to allow the pin-bar &c. to move to the rear of the machine. The pin-bar carries brackets for supporting the lease-rods 4.

Title: A New or Improved Method of and Means for Bleaching Textile Fabrics and the like.
Inventor: ROBERTS ARTHUR ERNEST
IPC: D06F39/00
Filed: 1910-05-02
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 10,792. Roberts, A. E., and Turner, J. B. May 2. Bleaching and washing, processes for; rotary washing and like. - In scouring, boiling, or washing textile fabrics in an open cuttled or like state, the fabric is alternately and repeatedly subjected to saturation in a bath of the hot treating-liquor and to draining in an atmosphere of steam in a closed vessel. The material is cuttled &c. into a rotary cage c supported on a truck d which is run into a kier a. The kier being closed by a wedge-shaped block b, the cage partly immersed, is slowly rotated in the hot liquor which is simultaneously circulated from the lower part of the kier to a higher level and delivered on to the material either through the central hollow perforated shaft e, or from a sprinkling-pipe k in the top of the kier, or through both..One end of the shaft c is closed and engages with driving-gear i, h, h<1>, h<2>. Other means for rotating the cage may be employed. The liquor is supplied to the shaft e and sprinkling-pipe k by means of a rotary pump n and a system of pipes and valves. In the former case the liquid passes up through a spring-held telescopic device s and thence through one of the hollow pillars f<2> which supports the shaft e. Below the truck d, steam is delivered to the kier through perforated pipes w. Steam coils may also be provided. The cage c may be divided longitudinally by a plate. In practice, when the fabric has been fully scoured and boiled, the liquid is drained off through a valve p<3> and clean hot water is admitted through a valve q<2>; the process is then repeated. The kier is then drained again and the truck withdrawn. There may be employed two or more cages and trucks in one kier. According to the Provisional Specification, a steam jet in the delivery pipe of the pump both heats the liquor and helps to circulate it. Or a separate surface or like heater may be used for heating the liquor. Further, the circulation may be effected by an injector and under pressure or a vacuum.
