Title: Improvements in and relating to Hemstitch Sewing Machines.
Inventor: ABERCROMBIE CHARLES MACKENZIE
Filed: 1903-04-15
Granted: 1903-06-18
Abstract: 8563. Abercrombie, C. M. April 24, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901] . Hem-stitching machines; needle-driving; needle-bars, vibrating laterally.-The needlebar 5 has a spline 6 sliding in a groove in a sleeve 9. The sleeve fits in a hole in the machine head, where it is retained by a cap 12 so as to be capable of rotation but not of vertical movement. An arm 16 projects from it, and is connected to a link 17 by a ball-and-socket joint carried by a screw 41. The link 17 is moved to and fro by a cam, and the needle 24, which is fixed eccentrically in the needle-bar, is thus caused to oscillate. The lower end of the needle-bar is surrounded by a sleeve 27, which can rotate but not move longitudinally with respect to it, and a pin 29 projecting horizontally from the sleeve is connected with the needle-driving mechanism of the main shaft 3, and the motion of the sleeve is thus transmitted to the needle. Perforating-devices.-The sleeve 27 carries a piercer 38 in a holder 32, which is connected to the sleeve by an adjustable collar 31. The clamp in which the piercer is held consists of two jaws 35, 36, connected together by a groove and feather and by a screw 37. The piercer is cranked as shown, and can be turned about in its holder, while the holder can be turned in the sleeve 27. These two movements give an adjustment towards or from the needle in the line of the seam, and also an independent adjustment transversely to the seam.
Patent GB-190311744-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Mechanism.
Inventor: LINDNER FRANK HERRMAN
Filed: 1903-05-22
Granted: 1903-11-05
Abstract: 11,744. Lindner, F. H. May 22. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces.- Mechanism for producing variable speed, such as for the reciprocating bed of a printing-press, is constructed and arranged as shown in Fig. 1, the object being to obtain first a gradually-increasing speed, then a uniform speed, and lastly a gradual slowing down of the speed, the direction of the movement being next reversed. The shafts 1, 2, which are geared together as as to move in opposite directions, are the driving-shafts, the shaft 3 being the driven shaft. Similar driving-mechanism is secured on the shafts 1, 2, but the parts are differently located, so that their positions in relation to their respective shafts will differ by about 90‹. On the shaft 1 are arms 4, 10 carrying rollers 6, 11 and cams 14, 15, a plate or hub 17 having a toothed segment 19 being located between the arms and the cams. On the shaft 2 are similar arms 5, 8 having rollers 7, 9, cams 12, 13, and a plate 16 having a toothed segment 18. The shaft 3 is fitted with arms 20, 21, 22, 23 having inclined or cam surfaces, adapted to be engaged by one or other of the rollers 6, 7, 9, or 11, with rollers 28, 29, 30, 31 adapted to engage with one or other of the cams on the shafts 1, 2, and with a gear-wheel 32 with which the segment-wheels gear intermittently. Assuming that the shafts 1, 2 rotate in the direction of the arrows, the roller 6 will engage the arm 21 and thus rotate the shaft 3 with a gradually-increasing velocity. At the end of this movement, the segment 19 gears with the pinion 32, and rotates the shaft 3 at a uniform velocity. Then, when the segment is about to escape from the pinion, the roller 28 comes into engagement with the inclined surface of the cam 15, causing a slow-down movement. When the shaft 1 has ceased to drive, the roller 9 on the shaft 2 engages with the arm 22 and actuates the shaft 3 in a reverse direction, the other parts operating in a similar manner as before to produce a variable speed. The cams 13, 14 operate with the rollers 29, 30 to prevent back-lash. If the shafts 1, 2 are rotated in the opposite direction, the same effect is obtained, different arms &c. in this case coming into operation, and the cams which served for slowing down in the previous case, serving now to prevent back-lash. If it is not desired to reverse the shafts 1, 2, some of the parts may be omitted. By varying the surfaces of the arms on the shaft 3, different rates of speed or even stoppages in the movement may be obtained. In modifications, the shafts 1, 2, 3 may be in the same plane, the various parts may be mounted loosely on the shafts 1, 2, and both driving- devices may be mounted on the same shaft, either both loosely or one loose and one rigid. Instead of oscillating the driven shaft, as in the case shown, the device may be used to produce a continuous or intermittent movement in the same direction at varying speeds. The parts for producing the increasing and slow-down movements may be modified.

Horse clippers and the like.-The trough body 5 bearing the comb-plate 11 on the broadened forepart 7 of its base and having a tubular handle 6 to contain the driving-shaft 21 with a sleeve 14, is closed by a cover-plate 37 held by side screws, and the vibrator 9 to which the cutter 30 is attached by screws 32 has for its pivot the hemispherical end of a screw 33 in a socket 36 on the cover-plate. With this arrangement the vibrator is kept out of contact with the base-plate by means of an oblique prop 27 having rounded smooth ends, fitting recesses in the two parts. The recess in the baseplate is vertically under the pivot pin. The screw bearing is kept in any position to which it is adjusted by means of a notched head 41 and spring catch 42. The sleeve bearing 14 of the driving- shaft ends in a flexible coupling 16, 17, which contains bevelled gear, 19, 20, between the driving- shaft and a shaft 18 to which the flexible shafting from a motor is attached. The driving-shaft gives motion to the vibrator by means of a crank 24 having a ball 26 which works in a slotted socket in the vibrator.

Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 20,705. Enock, A. G. Sept. 26. Cooling liquids.-Water, milk, cream, syrup, oil, perfume, yeast, or other liquid to be cooled, flows from the vessel B around the outside of the vessel D, which contains brine, calcium chloride solution, or other liquid with a low freezing-point, and surrounds coiled expansion pipe E conducting ammonia, carbon dioxide, ether, sulphur dioxide, air, or any other cooling fluid. The vessel D is formed, preferably, with corrugations d, which, in the conical and cylindrical types, run in a spiral form round the sides. The vessel may have baffle-plates H forming the sides of a spiral passage A, through which the cooling liquid may be forced by means of a propeller placed at the bottom of the vessel, or by means of a screw G, connected with the vessel D by the tubes shown. When a propeller is used, its shaft passes vertically through the vessel D, and is driven by a horizontal shaft, which may be readily swung aside, when desired, by means of a pin joint and sliding coupling. In the rectangular type, Figs. 4 and 5, the tubes E are placed in the recesses formed by the corrugations d. In a modification of this form, the bottoms of the corrugations meet, and the enclosed spaces thus formed are connected at their ends by cavities in the side plates of the vessel D. A screw is provided for circulating the brine or other liquid through the zig-zag passage.

Patent GB-190417593-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Two Speed Gearing for Bicycles and other Vehicles.
Inventor: MAYNES HYLA FREDERICK
Filed: 1904-08-12
Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 17,593. Maynes, H. F. Oct. 6, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Driving-mechanism.-In two-speed driving-gear for bicycles and other vehicles, the gear is mounted upon the spindle of the driving-wheel and is connected with clutch mechanism by means of which the gear can be changed from the high speed to the low speed and vice versÔ by back-pedalling. The gear also permits free-wheeling. The chain-wheel 7 is fixed to a sleeve 5, which, at the low speed, drives the hub 3 directly by means of a ball clutch 20. On the end of the sleeve 5 away from the chainwheel is keyed a sleeve 8 which, together with a ring 9, supports planetary gear-wheels 17 gearing both with a fixed wheel 16 on the spindle and with an annular wheel 14 fixed to a sleeve 13. This sleeve forms the high-speed driving-sleeve and drives the hub through a ball clutch 19 ; when it is in use, the clutch 20 of the low-speed sleeve 5 over-runs. To change from the high speed to the low speed, the balls of the clutch 19 are prevented from engaging the hub by confining them in their pockets by means of a sleeve 32, which is moved longitudinally by the partial rotation of a ring 28, in which there is a cam-groove 31 engaging internal projections on the sleeve 32. Each time the rider back-pedals, the cam-ring 28 is given a partial rotation on the sleeve 13 sufficient to move the clutch-controlling sleeve 32 either into or out of the way of the balls 19. This rotation of the ring 28 is obtained by means of the relative rotation of the high and low speed sleeves 13, 5. A sleeve 21 frictionally engaging the sleeve 5 is formed with a lateral projection 23 which enters a notch 24 in the end of the sleeve 13 and has a certain amount of play therein. A pawl 26 fixed to the projection 23 engages teeth on the edge of the ring 28. Whenever the rider back-pedals, the sleeve 21 is dragged forwards a short distance relatively to the high-speed sleeve by the low-speed sleeve and advances the ring 28 through the distance required to effect the change of gear. A pawl 30 fixed to a collar 27 secured to the end of the sleeve 13 prevents backward motion of the ring 28.
Patent GB-190419564-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Dobbies for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: SCHWARZENBACH HEINRICH
Filed: 1904-09-10
Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 19,564. Schwarzenbach, H, and Lier, G. Sept. 10. Loom dobbies.-Relates to the dobby described in Specification No. 17,660, A.D. 1902. Instead of displacing the heavy cylinder 81, Fig. 2, containing holes in which the pattern pegs are placed, a separate displaceable lever frame is used, consisting of recessed levers 51, Figs. 4 and 5, resting on cross-bars 55, 56, &c., and of side bars 52, 53, the frame being capable of turning on two horizontal pivots 65. The bars 52, 53 are supported on a bar 68 supported by rollers on a cross-bar 70, which is similarly supported by the crossbar 75 carried by levers 77 alternately raised and lowered by cams 67 on the shaft 66. When pegs in the cylinder come in the path of the projections 82 on the levers 51, the latter turn abont these points as pivots, and their other spring-pressed hooked ends 65 are raised, thus releasing the spring-pressed bars 59, which are formed with pegs to move the hooks 61 into the path of the ordinary vibrating bars of the dobby. The cylinder 81 is driven by a wheel on a shaft 13 carrying by a feather and groove a wheel 96 which is driven in one direction or the other by studs on two discs 101 &c. on a shaft 66 and on a shaft driven thereby. Below a special row of holes at the extreme left of the cylinder are arranged vertically-displaceable rods 107, Fig. 6, provided with studs 106 and pivoted to a beam 108 of lever mechanism 109,110. The lever 110 is raised and lowered by a cam 119, and always raises the pivot 122 and rod 107, the cylinder being meanwhile rotated in one direction, until a peg on the cylinder comes in the path of the pin 106 ; the lever 108 then rocks about the pin 122, and, by lever mechanism 112, 113, turns the shaft 114 against the action of a spring, rocks a fork, and displaces the star-wheel 27, Fig. 4, so that it can be rotated through part of a revolution by a projection on a disc on the shaft 66. A doublearmed shifting-lever 93 fitting in a groove 24 on the disc 25 is then rocked, and the bar 90 connected thereto is displaced ; a fork 92, Figs. 2 and 5, moves a stud 91 fixed to the cross-bar 56, thus laterally displacing the frame 53 &c. and bringing the levers thereon into position for being acted on by alternate rows of pegs on the cylinder. A stud 94 connected to the rod 90 and engaging a groove on the shaft 13 places the wheel 96, previously in gear with one of two studs on two discs 101 &c., in gear with the other, thus reversing the direction of rotation of the cylinder 81. A lever 121 fitted through an eye in the link 112 and acted on by the cam 120 raises the link 112. At the same time, by lever mechanism 116, 117, &c., the cross-bar 70, Figs. 2 and 5, is displaced so that the projection 71 thereon no longer supports the roller 74 ; the front end of the lever frame therefore falls, and lateral displacement thereof is not prevented by pegs on the cylinder.
