Title: Improvements in or relating to the Dust Extractors of Carding Engines.
Inventor: BOLTON HARRY
IPC: D01G15/82
Filed: 1909-02-19
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 4076. Bolton, H., and Marsland, W. Feb. 19. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Confining and expelling dust &c.-In dustextractors in which a separate canopy, provided with a branch pipe communicating with the main suction pipe, is provided for each carding- engine, means are provided for automatically opening a valve or damper to bring the branch pipe under suction, and also for automatically closing such valve at the completion of the stripping-operations. In Fig. 1, the valve c is shown closed, but when the canopy n is moved into position to cover the stripper, the lever k rotates the pinion i, which rides loosely on the pin d and carries over the tumbler lever and the quadrant g by means of the finger i<1> opening the valve, as shown in Fig. 2. The tumbler lever consists of two bulbs f<1> communicating with each other by means of a conduit g<1>, and containing sand or liquid. When the canopy is removed from the main cylinder to, say, the doffer, the pinion i is rotated, but does not affect the tumbler lever or valve. When sufficient time for the stripping-operations has elapsed, the sand in the upper bulb will have run into the lower bulb of the tumbler lever, and this will swing over, carrying with it the lever e, by means of the slotted quadrant g, and thereby closing the valve c.

Abstract: 4572. Day, W. H., [Townsend, G.]. Feb. 24. Paper bags, making.-Relates to machines for making square-bottomed paper bags which have one or more linings of paper or lead, and consists in forming the linings into an inner bag separate from the outer bag. This object is attained by first separating one or more of the linings from the outer paper and folding them, and then completing the folding of the bag in the usual manner. In the machine shown in Fig. 3, the outer paper u and the linings t, m are fed beneath a former c, which is depressed periodically and forces the papers into a folding box i. An arm y, oscillated by a cam 2, is connected with a boss x sliding on a rod w. A second sliding boss x<1> has a curved metal plate or tongue 5 attached to it. The boss x moves the boss x<1> towards the folder, until it is engaged and held by a pivoted pawl 8. The metal tongue 5 passes between the outer paper u and the linings, and separates them. As the former c descends, the tongue 5 folds up the linings against the end of the former. The folding operation is then completed in the usual manner. The movement of the false bottom i<1> of the folding-box causes one of the rods k, on which it is mounted, to actuate a bell-crank lever 15, which trips the pawl 8 and allows a spring 16 to retract the tongue 5,

Inventor: NEWELL THOMAS MONK
IPC: B65G67/00
Filed: 1909-03-16
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 6280. Newell, T. M., and Huntley, G. March 16. Tipping-apparatus; cover of receptacle interconnected with load-handling means.-In shipping or delivering coal, ore, &c. from end-door wagons, means are provided whereby sections of the rails and hopper covering are automatically displaced as each wagon is tipped so as to present a clear opening, wider than the wagon, for the material to be discharged into the hopper, the rails and cover being automatically replaced after the wagon is tipped. The parts a of the rails, which are normally supported at their ends on beams b, are mounted on brackets c carried by shafts d journaled in bearings in the beams b. The rails a and the coverings e attached thereto are returned from the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 by weights g on arms g<1> keyed to the shafts d. The shafts d are tilted so as to swing the movable sections outwards by means of arms h mounted on a shaft i cooperating with cams d' on the shafts d. The shaft i has fixed to it a strut k connected with the tipping- ram j. As the ram j rises, the shaft i is turned, and the tappets d<1> are moved by the arms h to rock the shafts d and throw the rails to the position shown in dotted lines. The arms and cams are designed that this is accomplished during the first small movements of the ram. Balance weights g return the rails a and coversections e when the truck is lowered. Instead of being connected to the ram j, the shafts d may be rocked by hydraulic cylinders, the valves of which are controlled by the control lever for the ram j. The rails a and sections e, instead of being swung as described above, may be mounted on rollers running on the beams b, so that they slide into recesses provided at the sides of the hopper, and they may be operated by rock-shafts d or by hydraulic rams the action of which is interdependent with that of the tipping-device.

Title: Improvements in Weighing Machines.
Inventor: PARNALL THOMAS ST JULIAN BABIN
IPC: G01G23/00
Filed: 1909-07-06
Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 15,690. Parnall, T. St. J. B., and Hipkins, W. E. July 6. Sliding-weight apparatus. -Relates to the machines described in Specifications 4935/05 and 13,544/06, and consists in the introduction of (1) a toggle-joint pawl for controlling the ratchet-wheel on the main driving-shaft; (2) a friction clutch operating in conjunction with the driving-mechanism; and (3) a two-speed gear, whereby the steelyard poise is first traversed quickly towards the balancing point and then slowly to obtain the final balance. The steelyard 4, supported on a knife-edge 3, carries a poise 7 which is traversed outwards along a screw 8 by means of gearing 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19 operated from the main driving-shaft 9. When equilibrium is reached, a bevel plate 20, Fig. 5, attached to the steelyard strikes a pin 21 and thus breaks the joint of a toggle-joint pawl 22, 23 causing the latter to engage and hold a ratchet-wheel 24, Figs. 2 and 5, which is connected to the sprocket-wheel 11. The forward traverse of the poise is thereby stopped. The sprocket-wheel 11 is loose on the shaft 9, and is driven by means of a friction clutch 25<a>, which is free to move longitudinally against the action of a spring 57. On the removal of the load, the steelyard falls and by striking a lever 27 rotates a shaft 28 and engages a clutch 31. A crossed belt 33 then reverses the motion of the gearing 15, 16, 18, 19, and the poise is retracted. When the poise reaches the zero position, an arm 35 thereon turns a bent lever 36 and disengages the clutch 31, the machine then being in readiness for another weighing operation. When the steelyard rises on application of the load, a stud 56 thereon straightens the toggle-joint pawl and releases the ratchet-wheel 24 to permit of the above-described cycle of operations. In Fig. 6 is shown the arrangement of the twospeed mechanism. The driving-shaft 9 is provided with an additional ratchet - wheel 59, sprocket-wheel 61, friction clutch 60<a>, spring 62, and toggle-joint pawl 72. Connected to the driving-shaft by chains 70, 74 is a countershaft 64 carrying fixed sprocket-wheels 65, 66 and a loose sprocket-wheel 67, which is engaged and disengaged by a clutch 68<a> on rotation of the shaft 28. The sprocket-wheel 67 drives the sprocket-wheel 13, Fig. 2. During the initial outward movement of the poise, the drive is through the sprocket - wheel 61, but as the balancing point is approached, the toggle-joint pawl 72 holds the ratchet-wheel 59, and the poise is then driven more slowly through the sprocketwheel 11. The total load weighed and the number of weighings are indicated on dials 44 and 45 respectively, and a further dial may be provided to indicate the amount of each load as it is weighed.
