Patent GB-190800233-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Shedding Mechanism for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1908-01-04
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 233. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Jan. 4. Swivel looms; shedding - motions; change box motions ; weaving eyeleted fabrics &c. In looms with two banks of swivel shuttles, a single shed or a split or double shed is produced for making suspenders and other fabrics with a split or with button-holes &c., by the mechanism s h o w n. The layswords 10 are pivoted to arms fast on a rock-shaft 13<1>, which carries an arm 12 connected to a bell-crank lever 15, which is connected to a vibrator connector 7<1>. The lay is raised or lowered according as one or both sets of shuttles are required. The healds 17 are connected to pulleys 23 by cords 19 leading around guides 20, 21. Chains 24, attached to and passing partially around flat surfaces on a cone pulley 25, pass around the pulleys 23 and are connected to harness levers 8. A similar cone pulley 39 and set of connexions are provided for the bottoms of the healds. The cone pulley 25 is mounted on a shaft 27, which carries an arm provided with a stud, to which are secured the inner ends of four vibrator connectors, and the cone pulley 39 is caused to move in unison with the pulley 25 by means of suitable connexions. The harness levers 8 are operated by a Hollingworth and Knowles dobby, and the combined motion of these levers and the cone pulleys produces the desired sheds. For light fabrics, the lower cone may be dispensed with, and springs may be used to draw down the healds.
Patent GB-190800907-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process for the Production of Artificial Kindling or Fuel.
Inventor: SUCHOWIAK VENCESLAS
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 907. Suchowiak, V. Jan. 14. Wood fuel.-Wood is subjected to fermentation and is afterwards impregnated with mineral oils or residues, for use as fire-lighters or fuel. The fermentation is effected by soaking the wood in water with exclusion of light for several weeks Preferably the water is heated to 37-53‹ C., and nutritive substances such as ammonium nitrate and potassium phosphate, and also cultures of bacteria capable of producing quick fermentation, may be added. If nitrate is not added, the wood extract is neutralized by adding limestone. The wood is then dried, when it is greyish-blue in colour and readily absorbs an amonnt of oil which may reach 75 per cent or more, and may be 60 per cent when mazut is used. Raw petroleum, or residues from naphtha distillation, may be used to impregnate the wood.
Patent GB-190804248-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Typograph Composing & Casting Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1908-02-25
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 4248. Boult, A. J., [Typograph Ges. Setzmaschinenfabrik]. Feb. 25. Linotype and like machines. - Relates to the distribution of the matrices and space-rings in the class of line setting and casting machines known as typograph machines. The turning-over of the matrix basket, upon the wires of which the matrices are guided, is effected automatically as soon as the matrices are released, distribution thus taking place without loss of time. The space-distributing mechanism is operated during the return journey of the basket. The basket B is secured to a spindle a, to the double arm h upon which are linked rods f, g, Figs. 1 and 2. Upon the face of a wheel b, which can be thrown into gear with a driving-pulley c<1> by a clutch c, are projections d, e which act respectively un the rods f, g tu turn the basket over and back again. The projectiou d acts upon an arm i connected by a spring k with the rod f. Should any obstruction prevent, the turning of the basket, the spring k yields to allow rotation of the wheel b. Fig. 3 shows a rod m which controls the operation of the space-distributing mechanism ; the pivoted end of the rod m is shown in contact with a cam p upon a camdisk o on the shaft a. Rotation of the shaft a during the turning over of the basket causes the cam p to push aside the rod n against the action of a spring r, The rod, however, eventually comes back into engagement with the edge of the cam o, and the return movement of this cam o pushes the rod m endways ; previously to this the space-rings have been rotated backwards. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which the basket is turned over by a single projection on the wheel b acting upon a rod v, which is connected with an arm x on the shaft a by a slotted link w. The block 14 on the arm is able to slip in the slot 13 if an obstruction prevents the basket from turning over. The basket is turned back by a spring y. A piston- and-cylinder dash-pot device 1, 2, 3 is provided in connexion with the rod v to prevent hard knocking of the basket. A member u on the rod v which is acted upon by the projection on the wheel b can be moved transversely out of the path thereof by means of a spring-controlled lever 7. A treadle 12 operates a device for rocking the lever. This 'construction enables a repeat line to be cast. The rod m of the space-distributing mechanism bears against a pivoted rod 16, through a slot 18 in which passes a rod 19 pivoted tu an arm 20 attached to the basket. In the turning-back movement of the basket, a hook 22 on the rod 19 rotates the rod 16 to move the rod m until a projection 24 causes the disengagement of the hook. The device operated by the rod m for distributing the space-rings preferably comprises a spring-controlled sleeve or rack loose upon a prolongation of the rod and gearing with a driver which is adapted to impel the rings until they are caught by a check hook.

Abstract: 5489. Jenks, G. F. March 6. Teaching arithmetic. - An appliance for teaching arithmetic comprises a frame a which is provided with one or more fixed or detachable bars b, each furnished with pegs or hooks c. Each peg or column of pegs c represents numbers of different value denoted by indicators, which may consist of reversible blocks or plates e having studs fitting into holes g in the top of the frame a. In order to represent the number of digits, counters i are hung on the pegs c. The counters are stored ready for use on one or more auxiliary pegs or pins h, and may be blank, numbered, differently coloured, or cut out to represent the shapes of different figures. For teaching decimals, a vertical strip j is suspended between the pegs c from intermediate hooks or nails k to represent the decimal point. For teaching fractions, the bars b may be divided into the necessary number of aliquot parts represented by the denominator; but when the bars b are not detachable from the frame a, independent slats l, divided up by lines m and adapted to fit or hang upon the frame a, are employed. The frame a may be suspended upon an easel or from a wall &c.

Inventor: KOECHLIN ALBERT GEORG
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1909-11-16
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 26,575. Koechlin, A. G. July 29, [Convention date]. Stop-motions, acting on too frequent weft-replenishment. Looms provided with automatic spoolchanging apparatus are stopped if a predetermined number of spool changes occur within the interval of time during which a regulator wheel advances through a certain angle. The spool-changing shaft d actuates a pawl z which turns a ratchet-wheel c, thereby stressing a coil spring. During its return motion, the pawl z is raised from the ratchet-wheel by a stud y, and a pawl w prevents the return motion of the ratchet-wheel, during this period. Studs t on the regulator wheel s periodically actuate a lever v, and thereby remove the pawl w and allow the stressed spring to return the ratchet-wheel and arm f thereon to normal position. If, however, several spool changes occur in rapid succession, the arm f is advanced into contact with an insulated stud g before the ratchet-wheel is released by the studs t, an electric circuit is closed, and an electro-magnet i carried by the stopping-spring p is energized. An armature m is thereby raised into the path of a rod n on a lever o, which swings with the lay, the armature m and the electro-magnet i are moved, and the spring p is moved from its notch and stops the loom. The loom may be stopped mechanically, the arm f being extended and operating, either directly or by means of an intermediate member, upon the stopping-spring p, or upon a lever employed as a substitute for the armature m.
