Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 22,015. Sutton, A. E. Oct. 13. Severing, and facilitating severance.-In order to divide a piece of warp lace into separate breadths by simultaneously unravelling a number of rows of loops between each breadth, the work, after being dressed, is placed on a rotatable board provided with a suitable brake. The end of the piece of lace is then passed over a roller m, led over a table l to below a porcupine roller f, and secured to a hinged wooden clip n provided with gripping-surfaces, as shown in Fig. 3. The ends of the draw-threads between the breadths are then drawn out by hand, tied together in groups, and attached to hooks e on a hand or power driven roller c. The clip n is then removed from the bed p, the lace is passed round the roller f, and a cloth-covered roller k is dropped into a slotted bearing above so as to press on the lace, which is then passed over it and allowed to overhang above a basket r. The rollers k can be temporarily removed to a second bearing s to permit the tension on any part of the lace to be altered. The rollers c, f are connected by belt or rope gear, and their peripheral velocities should be as the ratio of the length of a drawthread to the length of the fabric. The roller c has a longitudinal groove which facilitates the subsequent cutting of the threads collected. Slightly modified arrangements are indicatel in the Provisional Specification.

Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 8730. Stapf, T. April 25. Generators or producers.-Gas generators are provided with detachable cooling-bodies in the neighbourhood of the hearth, in order to prevent the deposit of clinker on the adjacent walls, in consequence of the high temperature. In the constructions shown, the cooler a is attached to the carrier-ring c, on which the masonry of the generator rests, by a flange b secured to the ring c by split bolts d and wedges e In Fig. 1, the form of cooler shown is of the flanged or ribbed type, and is suitable for fuels containing much water.

Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 16,217. Berge, W. F. O., and Frenzel, F. T. Aug. 9. Knitted-fabric sewing-machines.- In order to produce onamental chain-stitching on knitted fabrics in a knitting-machine, the work is stretched over a frame c which can move freely transversely to the line of needles d. The work is held by teeth p, some of which are fixed on slides q for the purpose of adjustment. The frame is secured on a truck f by pins g. The truck is-mounted on rollers k which run along rails m, and it is fed during the lower half of the needle stroke, by the tension of a weighted cord. In stitching, the needles are passed.upward through the work to receive the thread. On withdrawal, the frame moves with the fabric for the length of a loop. The needles are again passed through the work and then the loops are thrown off by coming in contact with the sinker plate a. In order to remove the work, a plate s is slidingly mounted on the frame, under the fabric, and when it is pushed forward by a handle it disengages the fabric from the end row of teeth.

Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 18,852. Niblett, H. Sept. 18. Collectors.-Relates to means for adjusting the trolly wheel, for replacing and retaining the trollywheel on the overhead wire, and for lubricating the wheel. The wheel runs on a hollow axle h, Figs. 1 and 2, carried in eccentric bearings in bushes i, j, borne in the cheeks of the bracket. A number of bushes may be employed to suit the thickness of the bracket cheeks, the bushes having interlocking shoulders as shown. A helical spring k inside the axle h has one end brought out through a slot i, Fig. 5, in the bush and attached to the bracket, the other end engaging a screw plug f in the axle. On the ends of the axle are fitted arms a having pockets for the ends of a sling rope n as shown in Fig. 3, and locked to move with the axle h by screws m. A pair of coupling-pieces b, with insulating-sleeves e, on the arms a carry a cross-piece c as shown, the parts being adjusted and secured in position by means of bolts d, Fig. 2, and splayed nuts as shown. The spring k is arranged so as, when free, to bring the axle h and the arms a to the uppermost position, but the pressure on the overhead wire turns the bushes, carrying the arms a into an oblique position behind so that they operate to replace the wheel, only when the pressure of the wheel on the wire is relaxed. A tube l surrounding part of the spring contains lubricant, which is admitted on unscrewing a plug g, and which escapes through a hole in the tube when the axle is brought into a vertical position.

As shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, in connexion with a cycle brake, a cylindrical portion A, secured by a wire R to the handle-bars, receives a circular fluid-containing bulb or gland adapted to be compressed between two disks, one H of which is carried by a pin I upon an operating-lever E. Projections F engage a worm or cam surface formed by pieces U within the cylinder, the lever being passed through a slot D and retained in position by a roller or stud G. The other disk, which forms a bottom to the cylinder, has a lug engaging a slot L and is supported towards the other side by a wire passing through holes in the cylinder, one end of the wire between the side members of the part Q being sharply bent to engage the handle-bars. A recess P and a corresponding recess in the bottom of the cylinder form an opening for the neck of the compressor gland. The ends of the wire clip R are looped so that they may be drawn together by a screw and nut, a removable cap being provided for the cylinder. The block-carrying levers are pivoted beneath a base-plate T bolted under the chain stays. For applying brakes to more than one wheel, as on a motor-car, additional lengths may be connected to the transmission tubing at any convenient points. According to the Provisional Specification, the pieces C may be replaced by grooves in the cylinder.

Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 15,934. Forbes, A. July 14. Trouser stretchers.-A trouser-stretching frame to be inserted into each trouser leg consists of two side bars each consisting of three links pivoted together as in Fig. 1, so as to fold up into small compass. Two pairs of transverse links d, e, f, g are arranged at the ends, to slide over one another with their ends pointing inwards. The frame can thus be extended to any desired extent by nipping the free end of one of the transverse links by a thumb-screw working in a slotted housing i, Fig. 4, on the other. In another method, a spring clip j, Fig. 5, on the inner end of one link, holds the inner end of the other link, which, in this case, is made of ratchet form. When the trousers are on the frame, they may be pulled to stretch them longitudinally, and then held by stretching rubber bands round the ends, the bands resting in notches k.
