Patent GB-190827961-A (GB)
Title: A Device for Securing the Safety of the Operator when Starting the Engine of a Motor Car.
Inventor: BROOKS WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1908-12-23
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 27,961. Brooks, W. J. Dec. 23. Motor road vehicles.- The starting-handle for the motor is interlocked with the change-speed mechanism, clutch, or the like, so that it cannot be brought into action unless the motor is disconnected from the wheels ; the mechanism may also retard the spark and relieve the compression. In the form shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the starting- shaft S is provided with a collar A or the equivalent, which may pass the notch in the locking-member B, as shown in Fig. 2, when the shaft is displaced longitudinally to engage the engine shaft. The member B is displaced at right-angles to the axis of the shaft, and is so connected to the changespeed lever or the like that it is in the position shown in Fig. 2 only when the change-lever is in the neutral position. If the change-lever is in gear, the lips L prevent operation of the starting-handle, as shown in Fig. 3. The locking-member may be pivoted and act in a similar way, and the lips L may be enlarged or even arranged to encircle the collar, as shown in Fig. 10. In a modified form, the locking-member engages the clutch at the inner end of the starting-shaft. In the form shown in Fig. 16, the collar A is formed on a sleeve A<1> connected to the shaft S by a slot b and pin a. The collar A is not free to move axially, and is formed with a notch with which the locking-piece B may engage, the locking-piece being also notched. The shaft S, although it can be moved longitudinally, cannot be rotated unless the locking-piece is in a suitable position with the engine disconnected from the road wheels. The locking-piece in this case may have a sliding motion. In another form the locking-piece is in the form of a bolt sliding at right-angles to the shaft and operated from a cranked spindle. The locking-member may be connected to the change-speed lever, clutch, &c. by link-work or flexible connexions. In order to retard the spark and relieve the compression, some part of the connecting link-work may be formed with a swelling e, Fig. 24, which raises a rod j, against the resistance of spring k when the starting-handle is unlocked, the rod being connected to the spark-advance and valves.

Title: Improvements in Loom Shuttles.
Inventor: ISHERWOOD ALFRED
IPC: D03J5/24
Filed: 1910-08-02
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 18,316. Isherwood, A. Aug. 2. Shuttles; weftreplenishing mechanism.- Shuttles are provided with means whereby they may be threaded in a positive manner either by hand or automatically i n connexion with weft - replenishing mechanism, and with means for preventing the ballooning or outward overthrowing of the weft and for tensioning the weft. In one construction, the shuttle is provided with a removable transverse delivery-eye 7, Figs. 10 and 11, which has slots 8, 8<1>. The weft from the bobbin is guided by a rearwardly and downwardly extending beak on the threading-device into the slot 8, and, in the operation of threading, is drawn over an inner lip 13 into a hole 14, and is also drawn between the wood of the shuttle and a lip 15, so that it passes into the eye. The wood of the shuttle at the eye is not cut away to the depth of the lip 15, so that unthreading is prevented. The threading-block 3, Fig. 1, is provided with a guard 4, which extends over the threading-slot and has an extension 4<11> on its down-turned part. A slot 4<1> facilitates the drawing of the weft past the guard. In a modification of the delivery eye, the lip 15 is replaced by a lip 23', Fig. 15, which extends into a hole 23 formed in the eye. Another form of guard comprises a base 20, Fig. 19, held in adjustable position in slots cut in the throat of the shuttle, a vertical portion provided with an eye 22 in which the weft is held by a projection 21, and an horizontal portion 17 which extends over the delivery eye. One corner of the portion 17 enters a groove in the shuttle, and is held thereby, and a side lip fits loosely in a slot in the shuttle. The eye 22 is so positioned with respect to the hole 14 in the eye 7 as to put tension on the weft, and the tension is adjusted by turning the eye 7. In other forms of guard, portions 26, 29, Figs. 21 and 24, enter holes 28, 31 respectively in co-operating portions 27, 30. The delivery eye may be used in an automatically-threaded or a common shuttle with a flannel tensioning-device or with a metallic tensioning-device consisting of a metal pin projecting down from the threading-block and fitting in a groove in the wood of the shuttle near the eye, the weft passing the pin within the groove.

Abstract: 11,516. Lake, W. E., [United States Light and Heating Co.]. May 12. Endless-chain machines.-A machine for filling a paste into articles such as grids or storage batteries from one or both sides, has blades 14 moving over the surface of the article, to pack the paste and remove surplus. In the form shown in cross-section in Fig. 4, each grid, after being fitted into a corresponding holder-plate 55, is advanced across the machine between upper and lower paste-containers 10 by a nut 60 on a screw 61, this nut preferably being divided so that it can be retracted by a handlever to feed the next grid, which pushes the first before it. A shaft 15, in each paste-container, revolved through bevel gear from a main driven wheel, carries the inclined radial blades 14, which force paste into the grid and trim the surface. Preferably the blades are joined by an outer ring which strengthens them and centres the shaft 15. Displacement of the shaft 15 axially is prevented by a ball bearing 36. A plunger 23 behind the blades 14 in each container 10 forces forward the paste. The upper plunger 23 is driven directly, and the lower one through a lever arrangement, by a piston operated by compressed air or other fluid in a separate cylinder, not shown. For charging the containers with paste, each has a curved trough 41 with a removable cover, a part of the container wall being slidable as a piston in this trough by operating a hand-lever 49 and a link 50. The troughs 41 are pivoted, and may be turned aside for cleaning.
