Patent GB-191220667-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Brake Accelerators for Compressed Air or Vacuum Brake Systems.
Inventor: HILDEBRAND WILHELM
IPC: B60T15/42
Filed: 1912-09-10
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 20,667. Hildebrand, W. Sept. 10. Fluid-pressure. - In accelerating-valves for compressed-air or vacuum brakes, the air outlet or inlet is controlled by the distribution valve and by a cut-off valve which is normally kept open by train-pipe pressure or vacuum and closed by a spring or source of constant pressure. Fig. 1 shows one form of the invention applied to single-chamber brakes, in which the local venting valve c is connected to differential pistons d<1>, d<2> in a casing R, which is connected by pipes l<1> and l<2>, l<3> to the train-pipe L, and by a pipe f to the distributing-valve S, the space between the pistons being connected to a reservoir B charged through a non-return valve F. During an application of the brakes, the distributor piston a moves to the left, and the train-pipe vents to the atmosphere by pumps l<2>, P, valve c, and pipes f, g, until the fall in train-pipe pressure is sufficient to allow the pressure in the reservoir B to close the valve c. The brake cylinder is supplied as usual from the auxiliary reservoir by pipes i, h. The apparatus may be adapted to two-chamber brakes by connecting the pipe i to the dead space of the brake cylinder, and the pipe h to atmosphere. The auxiliary reservoir may be used in place of the reservoir B. Fig. 1<a> shows a modification, in which the valve c is closed by a spring k, the differential pistons being dispensed with. Fig. 2 shows an application of the apparatus to two-chambered brakes, the dead space of the brake cylinder being connected to the train-pipe by a pipe i. The local venting takes place through pipes l<3>, f and past the valve c to the atmosphere at e. Fig. 3 shows an application to vacuum brakes, the valve c being used in connexion with an accelerating- valve b of known type. The local admission occurs through ports e, past the valve c and the valve b.

Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 24,981. Smith, Sir P., Smith, P., and Shackleton, H. Oct. 31. Doffing-arrangements.-The empty-bobbin and full-bobbin holders of the doffing-apparatus of spinning, twisting, and like machines are operated so that, prior to re-commencing to spin after doffing, the thread extending from the rollers to the full bobbins is looped on the empty bobbins in the form of a half-hitch, and, when the empty bobbins are removed and placed on the spindles, the thread is similarly wound on the empty-bobbin holders, so that upon re-starting it is immediately broken. The caps or flyers and the full and empty bobbins are removed from and replaced on the spindles by devices carried by a reciprocating rack 5. The full and empty bobbins are carried on a sliding bar 7 and a rotary bar 10, respectively, mounted on a vertical rack bar 9. Compressible resilient holders 11 are mounted on the bar 10 to hold the empty bobbins in position during the movement of the bar. When the full bobbins are placed on pegs on the bar 7, the two bars are moved relatively to each other so that the thread is looped upon the empty bobbin in the form of a half-hitch, as shown in Fig. 15. Similar movements loop the thread around the holders 11 in a similar manner when the caps or flyers and the empty bobbins are in position for starting, as shown in Fig. 8, so that when the machine is started the threads are broken between the spindles and holders 11.
