Abstract: 26,086. K÷rting, H. M. Dec. 14. Arc lamps with downwardly-convergent electrodes. To strike the arc and regulate its length, the feeding-mechanism is moved bodily by a solenoid or electro - magnet, friction being thus diminished; the electrodes move longitudinally only. The core b of a differentially-wound solenoid a is guided by a pin o and carries the frame c of clockwork-mechanism, the detent i of which is attached to a bell - crank lever f, pivoted to the frame c. The horizontal arm of the lever, which normally rests on a stop n on the frame c, engages a screw g in the lamp frame when the core b descends, so as to free the starwheel k. The holders e, e<1> of the electrodes m, m<1> are guided by rods p, p<1>, and a counterweight r is guided by a rod q. In a modification, two differential solenoids are placed side by side, with a spiral spring between them for partly supporting the cores and the frame c.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Malting Apparatus
Inventor: JORDAN WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-09-04
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 12,898. Jordan, W., [International Malt Machine Co.]. Sept. 4. Malting.-A travelling stirring-drum for use in malting is provided with means for supplying water and with suitable driving-mechanism for moving it to and fro along rails, so as to stir the grain both ways, and is arranged to be lifted and transferred from one set of rails to another on the same level. The malting-floors are provided with guard-beams carrying rails, and the transferring-apparatus runs upon overhead rails placed in a direction at right-angles to that of the lower rails. Fig. 3 shows an end view of the stirring-drum, Fig. 7 a side elevation of the stirring-drum and the travelling crane, and Fig. 8 an end elevation with the cord driving-attachments and the stand - pipe and its connexions. The malt - house has a number of stories, with cleaning and grading apparatus at the top and heating-apparatus in the basement, each intermediate story being provided with a number of malting-floors on the same level. The crane d running on overhead rails carries four hoisting-wheels operated by means of a wheel d<2> to raise simultaneously four hooks d<1> which are connected to eyes f<3> of the stirring -apparatus. The ends of the guard-beams are connected by shields u, and each guard-beam e carries a smooth rail e<1> for the car wheels f<1> and a rack e<2> which meshes with a pinion n<1> carried by a stud on the end frame f of the carriage which carries the stirring-drum g. The wheel j is driven by the endless cord s and drives the pinion n<1>, causing it to travel along the rack e<1>. The shaft i carries a driving-sheave j and a pinion k meshing with a wheel k<1> on the stirring-drum shaft, which bears another wheel meshing with a gear-wheel l<1> on the end frame f. The hose q carried on the reel p<1> is connected at one end to the hollow shaft p and at the other to the stand-pipe r. The end of the hollow shaft p is connected by a pipe p<4> to the hollow shaft of the stirring-apparatus. The hose reel p<1> is rotated by means of suitable gearing so that the hose is wound or unwound as the carriage moves. The driving-cord s is reversed at the end of each journey by mechanism operated by contact of a dog x, carried by the carriage, with an adjustable collar carried by the rod w<3>. The buckets of the stirring-drum are made with two curved blades or flaps 3 provided with journals 4 adjacent to the ribs 5 of a shell carried by radial arms 2 secured to flanges on the drum shaft. The buckets are reversed automatically, when the drum reverses its direction of travel, by means of cranks 13 connected by links 12 to the disk 8, carried by a sleeve which runs loosely on the stirring-drum shaft and is embraced by a friction clamp having wheels running on the rails e<1>. The reversal of the drum causes it to turn relatively to the disk 8, and the movement of the buckets into the grain retains them in their newly adjusted position.

Patent GB-190629428-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Bundling and Tieing Machines for Straw, Hay, and the like.
Inventor: RENAUDIN ERNEST
Filed: 1906-12-24
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 29,428. Renaudin, E. Dec. 24. Baling-presses.-Hay, straw, and the like are bound into bundles by means of a machine in which the tying-mechanism is enclosed in a small box. The apparatus may be actuated by hand or used in connexion with a thrashing-machine. In the portable form shown, the knotter box 3 is mounted on a wheeled frame 1 and the bundles are placed on a spring table 10. The needle 6 is carried by a hand-lever 5 pivoted on a standard 4 and provided with a spring arm 12. A string- stretcher or weight 13 is located between the needle 6 and the string box 9. The lever 5 is guided in its downward stroke by a slotted projection 14 from the box 3, and the string is guided into position by the arm 12. The cord clamp consists of two parts 27<1>, 29, Fig. 4, pressed against one another by an adjustable spring 30. When the needle 6 strikes the lower end of the pivoted part 27', the part 29 is forced against an inclined projection 31 which overcomes the action of the spring 30 and opens the clamp. When the needle rises, a spring 32 returns the part 27<1> to its original position, and the clamp closes on the string. A finger 40 prevents the string from looping &c. The knotter spindle 17 carries a pinion 16 engaging with a pinion 15 which is rotated by a toothed sector 7, Fig. 1, on the needle 6. The sector is kept in contact with the pinion by a guide 22. The movable jaw of the knotter is pressed towards the fixed jaw by a sprirg, and is actuated by an eccentric cam. As the. reedle rises, a hinged piece 8 strikes an arm 35 and thus rotates a spindle 34 carrying an arm 36 which pushes the string from the knotter and tightens the knot. The knife 37 slides in guides 41 and is actuated by a projection 38 on the spindle 34. The box 3 is moved to prevent the rack 7 from engaging with the pinion 15 as the lever 5 rises. It slides in guides 42 and is drawn backwards by springs when the needle moves a spring stop 44. It is returned to its original position by lever mechanism 46, 48, 49, 50, moved by a projection 45 on the lever 5. The engagement of the rack 7 with the pinion 15 may be prevented by other means.

Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 24,121. Carver, T. A. B. Oct. 31. Loom change-box motions.-Change-boxes are operated by one or more pairs of floating levers a, Fig. 1, each freely pivoted on a separate driving- lever b oscillated about the centre b<1> by a cam &c. c and by a spring l. The floating levers a are arranged to be moved by the driving-levers b by the co-operation of movable abutments j, the positions of which are controlled by pattern mechanism. The pieces j are turned about centres j<1> by rods k, which are pressed downwards at intervals, against the action of springs, by cam-actuated levers k<1>. When the levers k<1> allow the rods k to rise, the abutments j are moved into their operative positions if the rods k are not blocked by needles e, which are pressed by weights or springs against the pattern band f, Fig. 2. The needles e are withdrawn from the holes in the pattern band by a cam-actuated lever g. When the lower ends of the levers b move outwards, the upper ends of the levers a abut against stops n, thus causing the levers a to return to their original positions.
