Valve gear ; valve-chests.-In a releasing-gear for a lift inlet valve, the valve is raised by a lever operated by an eccentric, and is released by another lever operated by an eccentric driven from the main eccentric shaft through differential gearing controlled by the governor. The stem o, Fig. 2, of the valve a passes through a stuffing-box p, and is secured by a nut s to an extension r. A ferrule t, shown also in Fig. 3, is secured on the spindle r between a collar r<x> and a tube, on which rests a cylinder q secured by a nut. The ferrule t rests on a latch k, shown detached in plan in Fig. 3<x>, which slides in a box i<x> resting on a plate g supported by a bifurcated lever e operated by an eccentric d, which lifts the plate g and opens the valve a. The valve is released by an eccentric w, which operates a three-armed lever v and so presses back the bolt k against the action of a spring. The shaft of the eccentric w is driven by the main shaft b through differential gear under the control of the governor, which thus regulates the closing of the valve a. The valve a is assisted to close by a spring n acting on a piston head formed on the cylinder q and sliding in a dash-pot l surmounted by a hood m. The cylinder q also slides on a cylindrical boss l<x> of the dash-pot, in the interior of which the box i<x> is guided.

Title: Improvements in Warp-stop Motions
Inventor: WHITTINGTON CECIL HENRY
Filed: 1905-12-19
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 26,479. Whittington, C. H., [Kip, F. E., and Smith, E. C.]. Dec. 19. Loom stop-motions dobbies.-Consists in improvements in the electric warp stop-motion described in Specification No. 24,948, A.D. 1905. The healds are slotted and are supported by a bar 22, Figs. 1 and 2, and a conducting-bar 23 provided with an insulated metal bar 24. The healds are allowed a little vertical play, and the tension of the warps causes the preferably inclined upper walls of their slots 26 to make contact with the bar 24 when the healds are raised, so that a current can pass from that bar through the frame to ground, while, when the healds are lowtred, the current cannot pass so long as the warps are intact. The circuit, however, includes a switch 18, which is actuated by the pattern-forming mechanism and is opened when the healds are raised and closed when they are lowered. If a warp breaks, a current passes through the circuit when the healds are lowered, their upper slot walls beiog still in contact with the bar 24. An electro-magnet 9 is thus energized, and a dagger 12 is drawn into position to be engaged by a bunter 14, which may be of the type described in Specification No. 3688, A.D. 1905, and the shipper lever 4 is released, the loom being stopped. Various forms of switches are used. As shown in Fig. 2, the jacks 21 may act on pins 46, to push spring contacts connected to wires 15<1> intermittently into contact with a metal strip connected to a wire 15. The jacks are driven by crank connexion with gears 29, which are given half-revolutions in either direction by mutilated rolls or cylinders 27, 28, or are not rotated, according to the position of the patterncontrolled levers 32. The latter are locked in position after each movement by a p'ate 48 on a spring-controlled vibrator 47, which is driven by a cam-projection on the hub of the wheel 28. The chain of pattern rolls is preferably driven by intermittent gearing of the geneva-stop type. In a modified switch arrangement, the pins 46 are forced inwards by projections or noses on sectors driven from the gear 29 by geneva-stop mechanism. In anotler modification, the wires 15<1> are connected to arms with which intermittently engage projections on special gears, carried on an insulated shatt connected to the wire 15 and driven through pinions of non-conducting material, such as fibre, from the gear 29. If desired, a form of switch may be used in which the switch levers are connected directly to the jacks so as to be positively moved in both directions, as for example in the type of switch described in Specification No. 24,948, A.D. 1905. The electric circuit includes an ordinary switch 16 and a switch 17 which is. opened and closed by the movement of the shipper handle.
