Title: Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism for Winding Wire and the like on Bobbins.
IPC: H01F41/06
Filed: 1910-07-29
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 18,034. Anchor Cable Co., and Wood, R. July 29. Stop-motions; creel arrangements.-A machine for winding wire or the like on bobbins, particularly copper wire which is subsequently to be used for electrical purposes, is provided with a stop - motion arrangement which comes into operation automatically (1) when a predetermined length of material has been wound, or (2) when an unusually heavy load comes upon the wire during winding. The arrangement comprises means whereby brakes are applied to the rotating members with which the wire is in contact at different points of its travel through the machine, in order that they may all be stopped practically simultaneously to avoid strain on the wire. The wire is drawn from a swift b, Fig. 1, mounted on a carriage which moves on horizontal rails towards and away from the bobbin a, and which is normally drawn away from the bobbin by a weight 6. It then passes over guide-pulleys 9 and round a pulley on a weighted carriage 7, which is capable of movement on vertical guides 8, thence it passes round a measuring-wheel e to a reciprocating guide c, which lays it on the bobbin a. A rod g, normally held by a catch j, Fig. 4, against the action of a spring or weight, is adapted, when the catch is released, to move toward the right in Fig. 1, and to bring by means of a projection o, Fig. 4, a brake m into engagement with measuring-wheel e, and also with its end to operate a lever q which releases a brake lever p and allows it to engage with a brake drum on the bobbin shaft. The movement of the lever p operates a lever r and releases a catch s from a notch in a bar t, which is then slid to the left in Fig. 3, by a weighted lever v, and which carries the belt on to the loose pulley. The movement of the lever p also releases a catch x, and allows a weight 2 to rotate a rod z, and to carry a brakepiece w into engagement with the base of the swift. The measuring - wheel e, Fig. 5, gears with a worm-wheel 16, on the spindle of which is a screw-thread 18 up which a nut 19 travels, a pointer on the nut moving over a scale. This arrangement is mounted on a pivoted frame, so that the worm-wheel can be turned out of engagement with the worm f, and the nut adjusted to the position on the scale which corresponds to the length to be wound. When the nut reaches the top of the scale, a projection 23 thereon engages an inclined surface on a sliding bar 22, which is thereby moved to release a weight 14, which falls on to a lever 13 and releases the catch j to stop the machine. The catch j is also released, when, the tension in the wire becomes excessive, by the carriage 7 rising to such a height that a projection thereon engages a lever 10 and draws down the rod 11. Small increases in the tension are compensated for by movement of the swift.

Abstract: 20,505. Boult, A. J., [Typograph Ges.]. Sept. 2. [Addition to 11,799/08.] Keyboards for type - bar making machines. The machine described in the parent Specification, wherein matrices of ordinary and italic faces are carried by alternate guide-wires, is modified in that the keyboard is adjustably mounted so that the keys may be connected to the escapements of either set of guide-wires. The escapement-releasing wires a, a<1> of the two sets of matrices are arranged alternately, and are respectively secured to pins c, c<1> which are mounted to slide vertically in a stepped frame d and are pressed upwards by springs e. The keys x are mounted in a keyboard b, which is mounted on a rail f and may be shifted endways by means of a lever g, so as to place the keys over either of the sets of pins c, or c<1>. The spaces for the two sets of matrices are identical, so that only one escapement-releasing wire is necessary, this being secured to one of a pair of pins c, c' which are connected at the top by a plate. The frame or frames carrying the escapements are fixed.

When a plate engages the racks the movement of the central rack i causes a swing- ing movement of the wire devices l about their points of suspension, and the racks are thereby raised as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 6, thus causing a partial lifting of the fallen plate so that its upper edge acts at a higher level on the adjoining plate and produces a good formation of gap to indicate the position of the broken thread. The toothed-rack system may constitute the guide, the slot therefor being suitably shaped. Specification 1411/11, [Class 142 (i), Looms, Driving &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 28,371. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Murray, C. H. Dec. 16. Loading-appliances.- Relates to differential ammunition hoists of the kind in which the powder cage is charged at a deck above the shell room. The invention consists in the two constructions described below of rope - and - pulleys hoisting - gear for the cages. (1) The powder cage c, Fig. 1, and projectile cage d are connected by a rope o, passing around sheaves r, s on the cages c, d, one end of which rope is made fast to the hoist trunk at t, and the other end is secured to the lower cage d. The cage c is also connected by a rope k with the usual hoist ram n. The two cages, therefore, travel at different speeds and arrive simultaneously at the working chamber h. (2) When the difference in travel of the two cages is such that it cannot be made up exactly by the above-described arrangement, the rope o is not made fast to the trunk but to a slide having a limited travel on the trunk, so that the cages first move at the same speed, until the slide reaches its upper stop, and then the lower cage moves faster than the upper, as in the first construction.

Abstract: 2371. Forster, J. Jan. 30. Heating contents of vats. - The contents of vats used for liming, bleaching, and other processes in tanning are heated by hot-water pipes. The pipes E may be embedded in the concrete bottoms of the vats A, B and fed from a water tank C by an injector or ejector G, which heats the water and returns it through a pipe F. The pits containing the strongest liquor are preferably heated to higher temperatures than those containing weak liquors. In applying the pipes to old pits, they are placed on the pit bottoms in a fresh layer of concrete and the pit walls are made higher by a corresponding amount. Alternatively, bare copper or other metal pipes may be laid upon the bottoms or sides of the pits and contact of the treated material may be prevented by grids or perforated false bottoms. The hot-water supply may be obtained from the condensed or condensing supply of an engine, or by a separately fired system. Specification 6796/11 is referred to.

Abstract: 5055. Griffin, S. Feb. 29. Dynamometers, rotary absorption, comprise a series of friction blocks e, Fig. 2, mounted in segments d adapted to be pressed radially outwards by rods f against the inner cylindrical surface of a drum a which is arranged for slight rotary movement by being mounted in ball bearings a<2> carried by the fixed brackets a<3>. The driving-shaft is attached by a coupling to the shaft c of the dynamometer, and rotates the segments and friction blocks by means of hollow arms g through which the rods f pass, the rods being movable radially by means of a hand - wheel i, lever j, spring-controlled collar k and a central rod h mounted in the hollow shaft c. The drum is held stationary by means of an arm supported by a rod controlled by a weight and a spring balance. Cooling-water is supplied by a flexible pipe and enters the drum at its base by inlets Z', Fig. 3, which force the water in the same direction as that in which the segments are moved: the outlets Z<2> receive the water which has passed round the interior of the drum with the segments. If the segments are not sufficiently near together or the speed of rotation is not sufficiently high, baffle-plates may be provided to force the water to circulate round the drum. The holding-arm can be fixed into a socket on either side of the drum according to the direction of rotation of the driving- shaft.
