Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 28,665. Bardsley, H. Dec. 29. Slubbing, intermediate, and roving frames.-Relates to means for mounting and driving the bobbins, means for building the rovings thereon in cylindrical form and with either square or tapered ends, and to means for automaticallv moving the strap on the cone drums. The bobbin rests upon a long sleeve c, Fig. 2, which is raised and lowered fcr building purposes, and is secured to it by reason of a hook on the sleeve engaging with a pin or projection near the e id of the bobbin. The sleeve c slides through a short sleeve d which is secured in the fixed rail d' and carries the bevel driving-wheel b<3>, the latter driving the sleeve by reason of a projection e on the wheel engaging in a groove in the sleeve. The sleeves c are held by suitable brackets upon the lifting-rails i<3>, carried by brackets i which rest upon the lifting-levers h<3>. The lifting-levers h<3> project from the rocking shaft h<2>, which is oscillated by a heart cam f, the cam-lever g<1> carrying a block g<3> which engages in the forked end of a lever h<1> projecting from the shaft h'. In order that the extent to which the shaft h<2> may be rocked, and therefore the extent of the lift, may be regulated, the block g<3> is mounted on a screwed part j<1> of the camlever, which is rotated slightly at each oscillation thereof by means of ratchet mechanism k<3>. This mechanism comprises a pair of bevel-wheels k, k<1>, one on the cam-lever and one on the pin g<2> about which it turns, both bevel-wheels being provided with ratchet-wheels and pawls which allow the bevel-wheels to turn in one direction only. The result of this arrangement is that, at each oscillation of the screwed lever, it is turned slightly so as to alter the position of the nut or block g<3> thereon. The strap fork of the cone drums is mounted on a screwed rod m', which is rotated intermittently by ratchet and escapement mechanism at each rise and fall of the rail. The screwed rod m' carries two ratchet-wheels m<3>, n, of which the first is provided with two spring pawls a which are operated alternately by blocks t<1> on a rising and falling rod t so as to form an escapement ; while the ratchet-wheel n is turned intermittently by a weighted pawl lever p' which is raised by the rod o<3>, the rods t, o<3> being connected with a bell-crank lever o operated through a rod n<3> from a cam on the cam shaft. In order that the pawl lever p<2> may be allowed to fall freely, the rod o<3> is connected with a lever p, of which the end portion is connected with the main portion by a knuckle joint, so that, as the lever p is raised, it will raise the pawl lever p<2> until it escapes from beneath the latter, when the pawl lever will fall, and on the descent of the lever p its end will turn about the joint and allow it to pass again beneath the lever p<2>.

Title: Improvements relating to Rotary Engines.
Inventor: ANDREWS THOMAS MCDONOUGH
Filed: 1906-07-13
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 15,849. Andrews, T. M. July 13, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Fixed-abutment type.- A steam or other rotary engine, in which two piston drums 5, Figs. 1 and 2, are eccentrically mounted in cylinders 2, is provided with a rotary plug valve by means of which the engines may be reversed, or the supply of steam to the cylinders cut off. The drums are provided with piston vanes 6, 7, 8, arranged in diametrical openings 6 and jointed to carriers 12, which move in grooves in the ends of the cylinder and in the partition 2' between the cylinders. The vanes are preferably provided with spring-pressed packing-plates 14. Steam is supplied to each cylinder by an inlet 15, and leaves by an outlet 17, 17', or enters by an inlet 16 and leaves by an outlet 18, 18<1>, according to the direction in which the engine rotates. This direction depends on the position of a rotary plug, formed in two parts 40, 41, which are arranged in a casing 22 preferably lined with a shell, formed in two parts 28, 29 connected by a ring 30, Fig. 3. A series of ports are formed in the plugs 40, 41, and a series of apertures in the shells 28, 29, so that when the plugs are rotated by means of a handle 51 on a packed spindle 50, the steam-chest 26 is either cut off from the inlets of the engines, or is connected to the inlets 15 or 16. In either case, the admittance of steam to the inlets is controlled by reciprocating valves 19, which work in passages 21 connected to the chest 26 and open and close ports 24, 25 leading to the plugs 40, 41. The valves 19 are provided with extensions 20 which enter eccentric grooves 9, 10 in the drums, the maximum depth of each groove being at points equidistant from the vanes. The vanes of the two cylinders are arranged perpendicularly to each other. One valve 19 is open when the other is closed. The parts 40, 41 of the plug are spaced apart by a block held in place by rings which serve also as a packing. When the passage 15 is the inlet, any steam which is carried past the outlet 17 is conveyed to the escape pipes 32 by way of the passage 16 and ports in the plug 41 ; in the same way, when the passage 16 is the inlet the passage 15 also serves as an outlet.
