Title: Improvements in or connected with Revolving Magazines for Weft Replenishing Looms, and Mechanism for actuating same.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1910-02-10
Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 3273. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works.]. Feb. 10. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In the multi-compartment magazine described in Specification 24,754/09, the hub 15<1>, Fig. 2, of the wormwheel 15, which is driven by a worm on a rod 17, Fig. 3, so as to rotate or oscillate the magazine, is loosely mounted on the magazine sleeve hub 11, Fig. 2, to enable the magazine to be turned by hand for refilling &c., a pin 21 on a spring- actuated clutch member 22 entering through a hole in a clutch collar 23 screwed to the hub 11 and also normally entering a hole in the hub 15<1>, so that the worm-wheel 15 and magazine rotate together, By operating a lever 26<2>, 26<3>, mounted on ears 62 on a stand and extending through an opening 6<a>, the clutch member 22 may be moved to disengage the worm-wheel from the magazine, the lever also engaging the arm 28 of a lever connected by a chain to the transferrer bunter, which is thus raised out of the path of the lay dagger and prevents the operation of the transferrer mechanism. A shield is mounted on a stud to prevent the bobbins from falling out of the magazine. The rod 17, Fig. 3, is moved up and down to rock the magazine in unison with the shuttle boxes by means of a lever 47, a spring- controlled rod, and chain connexions to a pattern mechanism, which may be independent of the change-box pattern mechanism. When the transferrer is operated, a pawl 38 is dis-. engaged from a shield 34, as described in the former Specification, but, in the present case, the shield is moved to the right, as shown in Fig. 3, by the action of a torsion 'spring 33 coiled round the hub of the shield and, acting upon a pin 34<2> thereon, the opposite end being placed in one of the holes 35<1> in a looselymounted collar 35 provided with a lug 35<2> bearing against a stud 37 on a bolt.36. The camlever operating the rod 31<1> is thus pressed against its cam, which subsequently rocks the shield in the opposite direction, a spring plunger 34<a1> engaging ratchet teeth on a cylindrical gear 45 whereby the magazine is rotated after replenishment has occurred. A projection 40<2> on a latch or pawl 40 enters a notch 45<1> in the cylindrical gear to hold it in position for the spring plunger to engage one of the ratchet teeth 45<2> thereon after the shield has moved to' the position shown in Fig. 3. A spring 46 acts upon the arm 40' of the lever 40, and also upon a lug 38<2> on the pawl 38, thereby yieldingly holding one of'these pawls in its locking position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Feed Water Heaters for Steam Boilers.
Inventor: SWEENY JARED STABLER
IPC: F22D1/42
Filed: 1910-02-21
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 4296. Sweeny, J. S., and Grindle, W. W. Feb. 21. Feed-water, heating.-In a feed-water heater of the injector type for steam boilers, the feedwater is forced in jets into the combining-cone so as to combine with a longitudinal jet of steam in the form of spray and thus become heated rapidly. The invention is described as applied to a locomotive boiler; the feed-water heater F receives steam from the dome D and water from an injector or other pump P, and the steam and water pass together into the boiler by way of a pipe 20 furnished with the usual boiler check valve B. The heater casing is partitioned to form steam-chambers 2, 6, 7 and a water-chamber 8. The steam enters the combining-cone 17 through a nozzle 16, and water under a higher pressure enters the cone through wall ports 23 in the form of radial jets, which are converted into spray by impinging against the walls of the nozzle. The stem of the water-inlet valve 11 is arranged to telescope into an extension of the steam-inlet valve 3, so that the valves are opened by the excess of the water pressure over the steam pressure. An emergency check valve 26 is provided between the steam-inlet valve and nozzle to prevent water from entering the steam-inlet pipe when the pressure in the combining - cone becomes excessive. The valve 26 and its seating are introduced through a hole which is afterwards closed by a plug 28.

Patent GB-191105620-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Control.
Filed: 1911-03-06
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 5620. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 6. Equalizing load.-In a system for load-equalizing, an energy-storing device is driven by a motor and returns energy to the mains when the motor runs as a generator; means are also provided for causing the motor to reduce its load upon the occurrence of an overload. The mains L<1>, L<2> supply current to an intermittent load at the end M. A motor B connected across the main drives a fly-wheel A, and the motor field f is supplied by an exciter E. The exciter field coil e is connected in series with two resistances R', R<2>, the latter of which is normally short-circuited by the switch r<2>. The short-circuiting devices r', r<2> are preferably Tirrill regulators. The former r<1> is operated by a current in the coil u<1> proportional to the main current, and the latter r<2> by a current in the coil u<2> proportional to the current in the motor armature B. When there is no load upon the system, the motor B runs with a weak field, since the resistance R' is in series with the exciter field. When an overload occurs, the current in the coil u<1> rises and closes the switch r<1> to shortcircuit the resistance R'. The field of the motor is strengthened and the motor runs as a generator to supply current to the mains. The current from the generating source therefore diminishes and the switch r<1> opens. This intermittent action of the switch r<1> continues with ordinary overloads. When the overload is too large to be supplied with the help of the motor B acting as generator, the switch r' remains closed to short-circuit the resistance R'. The current in the coil u<2> is increased and the switch r<2> is opened to put the resistance R<2> in circuit. The current in the field coil f is reduced, and the load upon the motor B acting as generator is therefore reduced and the storage battery C supplies the overload. As soon as the load on the motor B is reduced to normal, the resistance R<2> is again short-circuited, and the action is repeated until the abnormal load is thrown off the system. An alternating source of supply may be used and a converter connected between the fly-wheel motor and the mains. Specification 15,335/07 is referred to.
