Title: Improvements relating to Spinning, Twisting and Doubling Machines.
Inventor: FERRANTI SEBASTIAN ZIANI DE
Filed: 1906-11-06
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 24,941. Ferranti, S. Z. de. Nov. 6. Stop apparatus, non-automatic; stop-motions; tension arrangements.-Relates especially to spinning, twisting, and doubling machines described in Specifications Nos. 11,558 and 18,260, A.D. 1904, and Nos. 16,716 and 16,717, A.D. 1905. Means are provided for causing retardation or stoppage of the leading and lagging parts at the same rate, and without substantial overrunning of the parts. Simultaneously, the supply of working fluid to the rotating parts may be controlled, and the tension of the thread automatically regulated. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, a brake such as a is applied to both the leading and lagging parts of the spnidle, that is to say to tne ring nyer b and to the bobbin carrier. Each brake is carried by an arm pivoted at e and provided with a resilient extension f, which is operated by a cranked part g<1> of a vertical rod, connected on the one band with the fluid-supply valve i and on the other with the operatiog-rod. Fig. 4 shows a modification, in which a brake u carried by a spring arm t is applied to the bobbin by a spiral spring n, the action of which is normally overcome by the pressure of the working fluid on the piston m. The ring flyer shown is turbine-driven: and air-supported so that, when the air supply is cut off, the flange x falls upon its seat y and the friction between these surfaces stops the ring flyer; simultaneously the brake u is applied to the bobbin by the spring n. In those cases in which both the leading and the, lagging parts are air-supported, either or both of these parts may be stopped by cutting off the supply of fluid, a light brake being also applied to one of the parts, if necessary, in order that they may. be retarded at the same rate. In another modification the variation in the tension of the thread is caused automatically to operate a brake, so as to maintain the tension of the thread substantially constant ; this arrangement may be combined with a second brake so as to form a stopmotion by which the leading and lagging parts are caused to stop simultaneously when the thread breaks.

Title: Single Track Signalling and Train Controlling System for Railways.
Inventor: MILLS CLAUDE KENNEDY
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 854. Mills, C. K., [Kinsman, F. E.]. Jan. 14. Automatic systems; stopping engines and trains.- An automatic electric single-track system for stopping trains of the general type disclosed in Specifications No. 24,893, A.D. 1901, and No. 9418, A.D. 1905, comprises a block signal system with semaphore signals and track contacts for actuating 'the engine apparatus for stopping the train, the connexions being such that, if either the block signal or the means for stopping the vehicle are in a 'danger' condition, the other means is put into the same condition. In the system shown in Fig. 6, there is a single-track normal-danger system with two sets of automatic train-stopping apparatus, one for each direction of running. A block section comprises two of the insulated lengths of track, and each length is provided with a track battery 99 and a relay or relays. The relays 102 control connexions between the sections for both directions of running, and the relays 100, 101 each refer to one direction only. The drawing shows the normal position of the parts, in which one of the switches for each semaphore keeps open the circuit to that semaphore, the other switches in the same circuit being closed. When the relay 101 is de-energized by a train, the switch 108 is closed, and the circuit to the magnet 41<1>, which operates the signal S', is closed from the lead 104 through contact 43<1> of a magnet 44<1>, magnet 41<1>, lead 40<1>, contact 108, and contacts 111, 106, 109, 112, which are controlled by successive relays connected to the track ahead of the train, and are closed unless the track is occupied by a train, in which case the signal S' is not put to ' clear.' The signal magnet 41<1> controls the armature 48<1> so as to cut out or cut in the supplementary battery 49<1> in the circuit from a battery b<1> to the track conductor 51, magnet 44', and the track rail. The part 58<1> of the battery b<1> is sufficient to energize the magnet 44', unless some unusual condition exists in the circuits to cause this magnet to drop its armature, which then opens the contact 43<1> and prevents the clearance of the signal S'. The engine carries two collectors making contact with the conductors 50, 51, and a two-way switch for connecting one or other of these collectors to the magnets for operating the stopping apparatus and the recording-magnets, as described in Specification No. 9418, A.D. 1905. The portion 58<1> of the battery b<1> is sufficient to energize the magnet for the stopping-apparatus on the locomotive, and if the signal is clear ' the armature of that magnet on its back contact closes the circuit to the magnet for recording line clear.' If the full-strength battery is connected to the track conductor, the magnet for the stopping-apparatus is energized, and the armature on its front contact closes the circuit to the magnet for recording the 'danger' condition.

Abstract: 1159. Thompson, W. H. Feb. 2, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Regulating; switches; transformers. -The voltage of an alternating current circuit is regulated by a transformer regulator operated by means dependent upon the difference in speed between a synchronous dynamo-electric machine and a series machine, both of which are energized from the said circuit. The electromotive force applied to translating-devices 2 from a generator 1 is regulated by means of a variable-ratio transformer 5, the primary winding 23 of which is supplied from mains 3, 4, its secondary winding 24 being connected by tappings to contacts 26 on a dial regulator. A synchronous dynamo - electric machine 6 is driven by the pressure of the mains 3, 4, and a series-wound machine 7 is also connected across the main circuit. The shafts 14, 15 of these two machines are in alinement, and their adjacent ends are connected by differential mechanism 16 of the bevel-wheel type, the annulus 19 of which meshes with a bevel-wheel 29 on a shaft 28. This shaft is operatively connected to a switch arm 27, which rotates in one direction or another over the dial contacts 26, according as the speed of the motor 7 is less or greater than the speed of the motor 6, which rotates at a substantially constant speed. The arrangement is adjusted to give the desired regulation.

Abstract: 5728. Hart, W. Fairburn-, [Electrelle Co.]. March 14. Automatic instruments. -To render the strings accessible in an upright piano in which the automatic action is arranged in the upper part of the casing, the action is mounted on a pivoted carrier which can be swung forward over the keyboard without disconnecting the action from the striking- mechanism, the connexion between these parts being by means of tapes. Means for manually controlling an expression device, for driving the take-up roll, and for mounting the armatures of an electromagnetic action, are also described. The carrier 8, Fig 2, is fixed, by screw-and-slot connexions which allow longitudinal adjustment, to brackets 9 pivoted at 12 to plates 13, which are screwed to the side-boards of the piano casing. The carrier can be swung forward after loosening set-screws 15. The carrier supports an electro-magnetic action of the shoe-and roller type, the shoes of which are hung by stirrups from the armatures of electro-magnets 17 and are connected to the wippens of the striking-mechanism by tapes fastened by clips. The armatures are pivoted to hinge blocks on a bar 20. The roller 25, which is of conical form to equalize the loudness of the bass and treble notes, is driven through belting by a motor 27 and drives the take-up roll through a flexible shaft 56. For controlling the expression, a flexible hammer rest-rail 33, preferably made in sections, can be adjusted with regard to the strings by depressing buttons K on the front ends of pivoted controlling-levers, the back ends of which lift rods 41, each of which turns a shaft carrying one of the arms 34, 35, 36 by which the rail 33 is supported. Hinges are provided in the rods 41 to enable the carrier to be swung forward, but are normally covered by sleeves 46 which make the rods practically rigid. The front ends of the controlling-levers carrying the buttons K are normally returned by the action of springs to the top position, but may be set permanently in any position by pivoted catches 52 which are moved by hand to engage racks 48. A catch having been set in this way remains in engagement with the rack owing to the upward pressure of the controlling-lever on which it is pivoted, but falls out of engagement by its own weight or by the action of a small spring as soon as the button K is depressed. Specification No. 13,894, A.D. 1905, is referred to.
