Title: Improvements in Machines for Drawing Flax, Wool and other Fibres for Forming Slivers or Yarn.
Inventor: EVES JOSHUA VALENTINE
IPC: D01H5/40
Filed: 1911-12-06
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,304. Eves, J. V. Dec. 6. Drawing-frames; gill boxes and frames.-Apparatus for drawing flax, wool, and other long staple fibres, in which the amount of draft between the drawing-rollers and the retaining - rollers is adjusted automatically with any change of thickness of material passing through the retaining-rollers, is constructed with mechanism which will delay the change of speed of the drawing-rollers until the material that caused the displacement of the retaining - rollers has moved forward to, or nearly to, the nip of the drawing-rollers. Levers C, C<1>, Fig. 2, rest on the journals of the top retaining-roller B and are connected through a lever E and link F to a weighted lever G, which stretches forward under the machine and engages at its end with a bell-crank lever J. A wheel N at the side of the machine, driven from the shaft of the retaining - roller A, carries a number of pegs n adapted to slide through holes in the wheel. The position of the pegs relatively to the wheel is governed by a pivoted shoe M<1> connected through a link M to the lever J. The pegs carried round by the wheel engage (after the necessary lapse of time, regulated by the speed of the wheel) a second shoe O connected through links O<2>, O<4> and a lever O<3> with the belt-fork O<7>. The pegs n are locked in their adjusted position by wheels M<2>, M<3> the grooved peripheries of which engage similarly grooved portions of the pegs. The wheels M<2>, M<3> are carried at the ends of weighted levers. The drawing-rollers are driven through a differential gear box P' from the cone pulley P'. To assist in moving the belt-fork, a relay motion may be inserted between the lever O<3> and the belt-fork. This comprises a pair of racks V, V<1>, Fig. 3, connected with the belt-fork, a pair of pawls u, u<1> rapidly oscillated by an eccentric U, and a pair of arms t, t' which are carried by a lever T and normally hold the pawls out of contact with the racks. If the lever T is tilted by a movement of the link R, one of the pawls is allowed to engage the corresponding rack and move it tooth by tooth, and with it the belt-fork. According to the Provisional Specification, a chain with the pegs sliding on the links can be substituted for the wheel,

Title: Improvements in and relating to Ice-cream Freezing and other Cooling Apparatus.
Inventor: PIERCY ERIC HAROLD
IPC: A23G9/18
Filed: 1911-12-29
Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 29,289. Piercy, E. H. Dec. 29. Ice-cream and like freezers; solidifying and then removing films; receptacles provided with cooling-means.-Relates to apparatus in which a rotary drum a containing freezing-materials dips into a pan containing the material to be frozen, the frozen material being removed as the drum rotates by a scraper e adjustable by means of a handle.

In a modification, additional spaces for the liquids &c. to be cooled are provided by plates or disks formed as pressed dishes which are fitted together with cover plates to the sides of the drum. The drum is provided with trunnions, one of which is hollow to allow the freezing-mixture to be introduced. The other trunnion is fitted with a detachable handle l. As shown in Fig. 1, the apparatus is provided with a wooden casing made in two parts connected by hinges. Specification 26,130/11 is referred to.

Patent GB-191207793-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HALL JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: F02M59/10
Filed: 1912-03-30
Granted: 1913-04-30
Abstract: 7793. Hall, J. W. March 30. Actuating by pulsating fluid pressure; adjusting time of operation.-The quantity of fuel injected at each working stroke of an internal-combustion engine is proportioned to the weight of air in the cylinder by a pump actuated by fluid pressure derived from the engine cylinder. The piston D<1> of the pump device communicates during the compression stroke by a conduit D<4> with a piston-controlled port and is moved against the action of a spring or its equivalent D<3> to a position dependent upon the pressure in the engine cylinder when the port is covered by the piston. A valve device E, of which several forms are described, has two valves E<1>, E<2>, operated mechanically so that the operative face of the piston communicates alternately with the engine cylinder and with the atmosphere. The movement of the piston D' is communicated to one or more plungers A<4>, which inject the fuel into the cylinder at the proper moment, controlled by the timing of the valves E<1>, E<2>. In some forms, the valves are actuated by a solenoid in the electric ignition circuit, and in another form they are actuated by cams driven by the engine through a timing-device of the differential type adjusted at will. In one form of the pumping-apparatus, shown in Fig. 5, the piston and pump plunger form a single spindle of two different sections and act so that the pumping stroke corresponds with the admission of pressure to the piston element instead of on the return as in Fig. 3. The inlet and outlet passages of the pump are controlled by ball valves G<2>, H<2>, held in place by springs and working in cylindrical members such as G<4> provided with ducts G'. In engines with fixed ignition, the cylinder port need not be piston-controlled.

Abstract: 12,314. Kelly, J. M. May 24. Funnels.-Milk cans are filled simultaneously by a distributing-device arranged below the refrigerator outlet, in order to avoid variations in the quality of milk in different cans.

Filed: 1913-06-18
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 14,102. Brindley, H. S. B., and Boiler Scalers, Ltd. June 18. Percussive hand tools.-In a fluid-pressure percussive tool for scaling the tubes of watertube boilers &c., the cutters g are mounted at the front end of a. sleeve b, which slides on a hammer cylinder c containing a cylindrical hammer d, and a cushion is provided between the sleeve b and the cylinder c to minimise the risk of breaking the cutters when they are struck by the hammer when not in contact with the scale. The coned edge e of the hammer strikes the rounded extremities n of the cutters and causes them to rock on rounded parts h, which are seated in a recess i in the sleeve, thus giving a combined circular and axial cutting stroke. The cutters bear at m on a central stem j, which forms a bearing for the hammer and is secured to the cylinder c by lock-nuts o. Compressed air enters through the stem at l, l<1>, l' into a space p in the cylinder, giving the backward stroke. The opening of the ports d<1>, d<2> at the edge j<3> gives the forward stroke, and the exhaust occurs partly at the edge j<4> and partly through ports q into a space r, and thence through ports t into a space s between the cylinder c and the tool sleeve b. Expansion of the air in the space s draws the sleeve and tools backwards and cushions the hammer blows on the tools when they are not in contact with the scale. A spring v, bearing on the cylinder at u and on the sleeve at y, may assist the cushioning.
