Title: Buttonhole Cutting Devices for Sewing Machines.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1905-11-16
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 23,563. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Nov. 16. Buttonhole-sewing machines buttonholes, cutting; stopping, automatic.-Relates to improvements in the cutting-devices of the buttonhole-sewing machine, described in Specification No. 261, A.D. 1904, whereby the cutter is first brought close to the material by the treadle mechanism in order that that part of the movement derived from the automatic devices may be shorter and correspondingly more powerful. As in the prior Specification the cutter 7 is actuated through levers 10, 13 by a sliding actuator 22, 24 reciprocated by a crank 19 on the main shaft. In the present improvements, the head of the lever 13 is normally well out of the way of the actuator. To start the machine, the usual stop-gear 44 is rotated by depressing the arm 49. In the first part of this movement, a trigger 60, being in engagement with a spring- pressed sleeve 63, causes the rotation of the lever 13 into position for a projection 27, Fig. 3, on the actuator lever 24 to enter a slot 17 in the head of the lever. When this is accomplished, the trigger 60 impinges upon a wedge 69 and is withdrawn, thereby disengaging the lever 13 from the stopgear rod in order that the final movement of the cutter may be derived from the actuator. At the end of the cutting-stroke, a pin on the actuator, which has previously borne against the face of a cam plate 32, passes over the cam edge and permits a spring to pull the cam plate into face contact with the actuator lever, so that in succeeding movements the pin rides upon the cam-edge and the projection on the actuator is kept out of contact with the cutter gear lever 13. At the close of a buttonhole stitching operation, a locking-lever 58 is moved by the feed wheel 57 out of engagement with the stop-gear rod which is spring returned to the stop position. In this movement, an arm 37, , Fig. 3, tilts the cam lever 32 out of the path of the pin on the actuator lever so that the lever may be ready to re-engage the lever 13.

Abstract: 26,870. Parsons, C. A., and Armstrong, J. H. Dec. 23. Field magnets.-The compensating-winding employed in the dynamo-electric machine described in Specification No. 12,408, A.D. 1903, is formed by a number of separate and approximately-straight strips flattened at their ends and connected by coupling-pieces also flattened at their ends to form a continuous circuit, better ventilation being also thus secured. The compensating-winding is placed uniformly on the pole faces, and comprises four coils with their axes between the polar axes of the field magnet. The coils are made of a number of separate copper strips d, Fig. 5, joined up at their ends by other copper strips e, the coils being placed in series with the armature and so arranged that the current in any particular conductor is opposite to that in the nearest armature conductors when the machine is in operation. The copper strips dare held upon the pole-pieces by means of magnetic flanged pieces f, Fig. 1, shown in section in Fig. 3, which fit into shallow grooves g in the pole faces parallel to the axis of the armature and are secured in position by means of bolts or clamping- strips h fitting over projections k on the flanged strips f and bolted to the body of the pole-pieces b. The ends of the copper strips are joined up so as to form a continuous circuit round the armature by flattening the ends of the strips e and joining them by bolts and nuts or otherwise to the similarlyflattened end of the strips d. The copper strips may be laid in slots or attached to the pole faces by any other means, and they may also be employed for the stators of alternators.

Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 174. Haddan, H. J., [Shreffler, J. F.]. Jan. 2. Steam-engine indicators.-The theoretical horsepower is shown by the relative movement of an index finger over a straight scale, the finger rising or falling according to the position of a governing valve or equivalent part, and the scale receiving independent motion from a generator pressure gauge ; contact parts sound a continuous alarm when a maximum horse-power is indicated. A diaphragm a, subject to boiler steam through the pipe B and connected on its upper side to the hot well by a pipe Z, determines the position of a sliding rod C, controlled by a spiral spring within and adjusted by the gland D ; the rack and wheelwork shown convey motion to the scale-bearing slide H, the spindle of the intermediate wheel F<1> being laterally adjustable in a slot in the backplate to enable the gear-wheels to be changed for different engines. The index finger K upon the rod T is actuated by any governing device adapted to maintain a constant engine speed under varying loads, or some dependent part such as the valve stem of a throttling governor, or the reach rod of a Corliss engine. The alarm mechanism is set by contact of this finger with a second finger N normally moving with the scale, and carried with its rod L, Fig. 4, by means of a friction-tight insulating tube P within a tube S attached to the scale. When the two fingers strike, the rod L is lifted and touches the brush R, thereby completing the bell circuit until the parts are reset by hand.

Abstract: 22,134. Thorp, T. Oct. 8. Pressure-regulating valves.-A double-beat valve 2<a>, 2b is operated by a flexible diaphragm 3 which is loaded by weights 11 and a spring 28. The spring is of the type described in Specification No. 5791, A.D, 1905, so that its opposition to the upward movement of the diaphragm decreases with that movement, thereby compensating for the increasing resistance due to the stretching of the diaphragm. In the example shown, which is intended for dealing with the hot gases in the " foul main," the diaphragm chamber is separated from the valvebox by a pipe piece 34. Sheets 35, 36 of asbestos are placed on the under surfaces of the diaphragm chamber and pipe piece 34. The diaphragm chamber is open to the atmosphere through a hole 32 in a cover. To enable the valve to be readily withdrawn through the bottom of the casing, the valve spindle is joined to the diaphragm spindle by a sleeve 15, the screw 16 in which may be operated through a hole normally closed by a screw 17. The valves, which are conical, may have their apices upwards or downwards. When in the latter position dirt covers 37 are provided. When the valve is used for dealing with cold gases, the piece 31 and the asbestos sheets are dispensed with. The diaphragm may be made of several plies of proofed canvas or of oxidized oil sheeting.
