Patent GB-191220447-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Yarn and Thread Winding Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: B65H54/14
Filed: 1912-09-07
Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 20,447. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. Sept. 7. [Addition to 19,460/12.] Winding-machines; driving-arrangements.- Means for controlling and determining the position of the link connected with the traverse bar in the slot of the oscillating arm F, for the purpose of winding several layers of yarn of relatively short traverse, to form a ' bunch ' before the main portion of the winding with normal traverse is commenced, as described in the parent Specification, comprise a slotted plate R, which is operated so as to retain a pin p at the bottom of the slot in the arm F while the short layers are being wound and to release the pin so that it is moved to the top of the slot to wind layers of normal traverse. The means are shown applied to winding- machines of the same general type as that described in Specifications 5765/08, 24,611/08, 3082/09, and 3083/09. The arm F carries the plate R and is secured to a hub by screws f<8>, so that the whole of the mechanism is readily detachable. The plate R is gradually moved by means of a pawl W, operated each stroke by the link P, until a slot r<1> therein recedes from the pin p and allows it to be moved to the top of the slot in the arm F by means of a spring 13 which moves the traverse bar longitudinally. The pin p is retained at the top of the slot by a spring plunger 9. The movement of the plate R in the direction of the arrow 2 is resisted by a spring which, by its contact with the arm F, serves also as a stop for the plate and permits of the adjustment of the period of release of the pin p. A locking-pawl T is automatically released by the link P so as to allow the plate R to swing back into operative position when the parts are re-set. The traverse bar is in two parts C<1>, C<2>, of which the part C<2> is swivelled at c<1> so that while the cop bottom is being built it is pressed towards the spindle by a former k, as described in Specification 24,611/08. The thread-guide is moved along the screwed part of the bar C<2> by means of a progression wheel H which is turned by contact with the cop, and, as the guide mechanism moves along the former, so the bar C<2> is moved by a spring plunger until it is alined with the bar C<1>. The skew gear that drives the spindle and the hub of the arm F are connected to their shafts by means of clutches which are disconnected by parts carried by a longitudinally-movable bridge-piece. The bridge-piece is provided with a projection that engages with the hub of the arm F and locks it when the machine is stopped, so that, when the traverse bar is pushed backwards, the pin p is moved to the bottom of the slot. The ratchet-wheel, which, in the arrangement described in the parent Specification, retains the pin p at the bottom of the slot, may be made with finer teeth than those shown in the drawing of that Specification, and means may be provided to adjust the operating-pawl to take one or a number of teeth at each stroke.

Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 23,682. Palmer, J. L. Oct. 16. India - rubber, extracting from shrubs. - Rubber is extracted from comminuted bark containing it, such as Landolphia bark treated as described in Specification 13,809/12, by rolling the material without crushing it, with or without water, between frictional surfaces rotating relatively to one another. The material is fed into a helical feeding-mouth 15, as described in Specification 9968/13, [Class 59, Grinding, crushing, &c.], on to a disk 5 which rotates in a plane substantially parallel to an upper fixed disk 2, held by spring - influenced bolts 3 to allow the plate to yield to large agglomerations of rubber. The coacting surfaces are only as rough as is necessary to prevent slipping, although grooves may be cut to ensure rolling. The material is rolled between the surfaces, the rubber being agglomerated into -the form of worms, and the barren particles are separated. The rubber and waste pass out at the periphery and fall down a false bottom 10 to an outlet 17. In a modification, the surfaces are hemispherical, or they may be conical.

Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 29,510. Wingquist, S. G. March 21, [Convention date]. Ball bearings.-A ball bearing, adapted to take radial load and end thrusts, has two rows of balls 4, 5 running on outer spherical tracks 6, 7, which are struck from the same centre 8 placed at one side of the centre of the bearing. The balls 5 are nearer to the axis of the bearing than the balls 4, and they may be fewer in number, and the angles between the centre-line of the inner track and the directions of pressure upon the balls in the two rows are different. The inner race has two concave tracks 10, 11, of curvature slightly greater than that of the balls. Each ball bears on two points only, the points being in a straight line with the point 8. The outer edges of the race ring 2, and the central ridge 15, retain the balls in the bearing. In a modification, the tracks 6, 7 are replaced by a single spherical surface.
