Abstract: 17,364. Vicars, T., Vicars, J., and Vicars, E. L. July 26. Depositing - machines.- Relates to mechanism for imparting to the pistons of drop biscuit machines a reciprocating but gradually advancing movement from a continuouslydriven shaft. The shaft 1, Fig. 1, is driven continuously by a wheel and handle 4, and operates the piston 11 through either of two bevel-wheels 5, 6, which are connected to the piston 11 through gearing 7, 8, 9, 10, and are connected to the shaft 1 alternately by a clutch 13 controlled by a lever 14 connected to a crank or eccentric 15 mounted upon a shaft 16 fitted with a spur-wheel 17 adapted to be engaged by teeth 18, 19, 20, 21 adjustably fixed to the wheel 4. These teeth each rotate the shaft 16 a quarter-turn ; the tooth 18 throws the clutch into engagement with the wheel 5 and causes the piston 11 to descend ; the tooth 19 disengages the clutch; the tooth 20 throws the clutch into engagement with the wheel 6 and causes the piston to ascend slightly to prevent the dough being sucked out of the container on the lowering of the tray; and the tooth 21 disengages the clutch again. Instead of the clutch 13, the bevel-wheels 5, 6 may be carried by a sleeve 22, Fig. 3, keyed to the shaft 1. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which a bevel wheel 7, mounted upon the shaft 1, is adapted to engage with bevel-wheels 5, 6, carried by a sleeve 22, which is keyed to the nut 9 operating the piston 11 by a key 8 and is controlled by a crank 15 provided with a pin engaging a slot 26 in the sleeve 22. Fig. 6 shows a further modification in which the shaft 1 drives the nut 9 either directly through the wheel 6 and gearing 8 or through gearing 5, 7, 6, 8 ; the shaft is connected to the wheels by a clutch 13 operated by a lever 14 connected by a rod 27 to a slide bar 28, which is moved by tappets 18, 21 and 19, 20, mounted respectively upon wheels 17, 17" carried by the shaft 16. The whole of the mechanism is carried by a bridgepiece 24 pivoted at 25 so that, after raising the piston 11, it can be turned aside for filling. The wheel 4 is also slidably mounted upon the shaft 1 so that the mechanism can be rendered inoperative when it is desired to raise or lower the piston continuously.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Winding Yarn, Thread or the like.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: B65H54/14
Filed: 1913-07-03
Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 15,338. Wade, H., [Leeson, J. R.]. July 3. Winding-machines. - Means are provided for automatically controlling the traverse of the thread or yarn at the beginning of the winding in order to form a "bunch" upon the naked bobbin &c. before the main winding with full traverse is built up.. The yarn is held from being traversed at the commencement of the winding by an arm, which is controlled by ratchet mechanism so that after a definite number of spindle rotations the arm is released and the yarn is then controlled by the traverse guide alone. The yarn after being led through the ordinary thread-guide, is passed through the slot e in an arm E, which is depressed manually into the position shown in Fig. 2. The movement of the arm E rocks the piece U about its pivot and depresses the end of a lever S, thus raising the other end of the lever and removing a projection s<2> from the teeth of a ratchet-wheel N. The lever E tends to rotate about its pivot H in the direction of the arrow x under the action of a spring and is locked in its operative position by abutting against the end of the lever S. The movement of the lever E also acts through the link J to rock an arm K, pivoted upon a piece L sliding in guides f<10>, f<11>, and to bring a projecting lug k<7> into the path of a pin c<3> carried by the reciprocating traverse bar. The sliding piece L carries a pawl 0 adapted at each reciprocation to engage the teeth of a ratchet-wheel M and move it against the action of a spring. The ratchet-wheels M, N are mounted upon the same stud and are capable of relative rotation. A lug m on the ratchet-wheel M engages the teeth of the ratchetwheel N to cause the two to rotate together. The wheel N has a gap n<2> in its periphery adapted to receive the end s<2> of the lever S, and the two wheels are set so that, after a predetermined number of traverses of the piece L, the wheel N is turned so that the end s<2> enters the gap n<2>. The lever S then swings on its pivot and releases the arm E, which rises out of the way of the yarn &c., the movement of which is then controlled by the traverse guide alone. The end e<5> of the lever E engages a shaped recess s<3> in the lever S when in its inoperative position. The whole device is mounted in a casing F which is secured to the framework of the machine by a screw passing through a slot f<3>. A set-screw f<5> and a projection f<4> abutting against the framework are used to adjust the frame to bring the lug k<7> into the path of the pin c<3>. The arm E may be adjustable in length so that the "bunch" may be wound upon any part of the bobbin &c. Specincations 5765/08 and 24,611/08 are referred to.
