Title: Improvements in Sectional Warping Machines
Inventor: YATES HENRY
Filed: 1903-09-05
Granted: 1904-09-05
Abstract: 19,124. Yates, H. Sept. 5. Yarns, warping and beaming. - The middle measuring-roller h<2> is driven positively by a belt and pulley, and transmits motion through an inclined shaft and bevel gearing to a horizontal shaft l, upon which is feathered a bevel-wheel kept in contact with a wheel on the axis fÎ of the presserdrum f by a yoke or bar secured to a slide g on which the presser-drum bears. The warp-section bobbin c is driven by frictional contact with the presser f, so that its speed is dependent upon that of the measuring-roller h<2>. The presser-drum is allowed to retire gradually as the diameter of the bobbin increases by means of a cam u operated from the axis of the bobbin c by worm gearing through a horizontal shaft y<1>. The speed of the cam may be regulated for different yarns by using worm-wheels of varying sizes on the shaft, the bracket bearings being made adjustable, and it may be set at any desirable starting point by disengaging the worm-wheel and turning the handle y<5>. A screw, rack and pinion, or falling weight may be employed in place of the cam, and the bobbin may be made to move instead of the presser-drum. A dial and pointer may be applied to the shaft d to indicate the length of each section, thereby forming a oheck on the usual indicator geared to the measuring-roller.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Cam Gearing.
Inventor: SCHMICK HENRY JONAS
Filed: 1904-03-17
Granted: 1904-08-25
Abstract: 6531. Schmick, H. J. March 17. Motor road vehicles. - Relates to driving-mechanism in which "radio -helical" cams, such as are described in Specification No. 10,982, A.D. 1901, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.], are employed for transmitting motion between two shafts arranged at right - angles. The driving - shaft 1 carries a head or disc 2, on the face of which are formed cam members adapted to gear into the teeth 13 of a wheel 12 on the driven shaft 14. Three of these cam members 3,4,5 are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, each of which has its working surface formed as an arc of a circle, and is of a thickness approximately equal to the space between the teeth 13. The outer or working surface 15 is made angular and of continually increasing pitch, and the inner surface 15<1> is correspondingly inclined in the opposite direction. The teeth 13 are made concavo-convex, the curves corresponding with the curvature of the cam members. The cam members are arranged to overlap each other, one member coming into engagement with the wheel before the preceding member has passed out of engagement therewith. Each member is tapered or cut away at the outer end to permit ready disengagement on leaving a tooth. Should the disc 2 be reversed, the members 3, 4, 5 engaging the teeth 13, serve as a brake to retard the car or vehicle to which the gearing is applied. In a modification, the teeth 13 are replaced by rollers, mounted on spindles secured in holes in the periphery of a disc. By altering the pitch and number of the members and teeth, the velocity ratio of the driving and driven shafts is altered.

Granted: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 18,462. Gowans, G.A. Aug. 26. Gumming, pasting, and the like.-Folded sheets, picture plates, illustrations, and the like to be joined together are transported by rollers in two separate channels and, during the forward movement, one or both of the papers receives a narrow strip of glue or paste from a glueing-wheel. The channels afterwards converge and the papers are pressed together by rollers and delivered into a box. Before sliding into the box, the papers may pass between a pair of hot rollers. The papers are passed in, so as to register, by means of treadleoperated feeding-in gauges e, f and pass between pairs of rollers 1, 2 and 3, 4, to channels x in which, after the application of glue or paste by a wheel i, they meet so that the rollers 11, 12 can press the papers together. The papers leave the apparatus through rollers 13, 14 and pass along a groove in a bar placed over a receiving-box v. The roller 13 is made slightly conical so that the papers lean towards it and finally drop into the box v. The inner roller of each pair is driven from the shaft of the driving-wheel a by spur and bevel gearing and the outer rollers are pressed against them by springs t, Fig. 3. The vessel o containing the adhesive is mounted on arms r so that it can be raised or lowered.

Title: Improvements in Brake and Clutch Mechanism.
Inventor: ARBEY CHARLES ALPHONSE
Filed: 1904-11-02
Granted: 1905-12-01
Abstract: 23,700. Arbey, C. A. Nov. 28, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Brakes. -Relates to a combined band and disc friction brake of general application which may be employed to operate shoe or other forms of brake as in omnibus brakes, in which case the extremity of the band, instead of being attached to a fixed point, is connected to the operating - mechanism of the shoe or other brake. The band and disc brake comprises two series of discs C, D, Fig. 2, fitting into one another and being mortised respectively to parts A, E, the first of which is connected to the shaft upon which the arrangement is mounted, while the other is free and provides a drum for the band F. A piece G is fixed to the framing and has inclined planes i<1>, i<2>, i<3>, Figs. 1 and 2, which fit into corresponding recesses in another piece I, the whole being enclosed by a flange a. The mechanism is operated by a chain or cable H, which passes round a pulley on the piece I and is connected to a hook f<1> on the band F, the extremity f of which may be fixed to the part G or arranged as described above. Ordinarily, the discs rotate together, but on the cable H being pulled, the piece E and its discs D become locked, while at the same time the part I is slightly rotated, causing its recesses to slide on the inclined planes and so press the locked discs D against the moving discs C. To ensure that the drum E shall be locked before the disc action commences, the band F makes a number of convolutions round it, and the movement of the part I is retarded by a spring J. In another operating-mechanism, Fig. 3, the band F and the piece I are moved in the same direction, and the inclined planes are in this case inverted. A flexible operating-device is shown in Fig. 4. In a modification, Fig. 5, the band F<1>, by pressing apart cheeks L, performs both operations of itself. In another modification, Fig. 6, the part E is inside and the part A outside. In cases where a uniform degree of braking is required, the discs may be kept pressed together by a spring, and the part I removed. The system may be inverted, being ordinarily at rest, braking being effected by making one part fast with the shaft.

Title: Improvements in Explosion Engines
Inventor: MILLER ROBERT
Filed: 1904-11-08
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 24,163. Miller, R. Nov. 8. Gas and like engines.-Fig. 1 shows a double-cylinder, twostroke-cycle, gas engine which may also be used as an oil, coaldust, or other engine. The trunk pistons of the two waterjacketed cylinders are connected together by side rods (not shown) and operate a common crank shaft, the same cycle of operations taking place in each cylinder, thus giving an impulse every stroke. During the instrokes, fuel is forced into the respective cylinder ends a<3> through the inlet valves j by the pump h<1>, and mixes with air remaining in the cylinders after scavenging. The charge is then compressed and ignited in the usual way. During the explosion, or immediately after, the balanced valves c' are opened to allow part of the products of combustion to pass through the passages c and act upon the annular portions of the pistons. The exhaust gases from the enlarged portions of the cylinders escape through the valves o<1>, while the gases in the smaller portions are driven through ports l by air, compressed in the outer ends of the cylinders during the out-stroke, and which enters through the valves j. Suction-operated valves a<7> admit air to the pumps during the instrokes. Governor-operated valves i<1> are provided in the fuel-supply pipes, and regulating-valves k<1> in the air-supply pipes connected to the cylinder ends.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Wireless Telegraphy or Telephony
Inventor: EISENSTEIN SIMON
Filed: 1904-12-07
Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 26,696. Eisenstein, S. Dec. 7. Telegraphs.-The primary winding of the transformer used to produce sparks in a Hertzian wave transmitter is in series with a condenser, with which it forms a shunt across the carbon terminals of an arc lamp. The main circuit of the arc contains a resistance Wand an inductance coil L. In such a lamp, the arc can be readily broken and re-formed by the aid of the condenser. This sets up alternating currents in the condenser circuit, and produces sparks across the gap F. The voltage of the continuous current serving the arc lamp cannot exceed certain limits, for the arc is then no longer broken except by separating the carbons beyond a certain limit, in which case the condenser is no longer able to re-form the arc. In order to permit of using a higher voltage, two methods are proposed for rendering the arc readily displaceable with a small interval between the carbons. Fig. 2 shows the carbons completely enclosed in a chamber E in which air or other gases are maintained at a high pressure. Fig. 3 shows another method of breaking the are, the lines of magnetic force issuing from the inductance coil L being utilized to extinguish it.

Title: Improvements in Shuttle Positioning Means for Filling Replenishing Looms.
Filed: 1905-04-07
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 7342. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. April 7. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In automatic weft-replenishing looms of the Northrop type, means are provided for properly positioning the shuttle relatively to the incoming weft-carrier or bobbin, the said means differing from those described in Specification No. 28,314, A.D. 1903, in that they are independent of the incoming weftcarrier, but the invention may be used with the means described in the said Specification for positively controlling the weft-carrier throughout transfer. The shuttle-box back 21 has a slot 22 with bevelled ends, against which the inclined hooked ends of fingers 37, 41 normally bear. These fingers are pivoted one above the other to a rocker 31, pivoted on the box back, and they are pressed by leaf springs towards the box. When the weft is to be replenished, an arm on the rock-shaft which controls the mechanism acts upon a leaf spring on the end of an actuator-lever pivoted on the transferrer stud, and a bunter on the other end of the lever is moved downwards. As the lay beats up, the bunter acts upon a lip 34 on the rocker 31, which is thereby turned against the action of a spring S<2> and moves the fingers 37, 41 into the position shown. If the shuttle is not in the proper position, the hooked end of one of the fingers engages a lug 27 on a plate mounted in a recess in the shuttle side, and pushes or pulls the shuttle into the proper position to receive the full weft-carrier.
