Title: An Improved Apparatus for Sizing Tulle and Analogous Fabrics.
Inventor: CLERC-RENAUD JOSEPH MARIUS
Filed: 1906-11-22
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 26,526. Renaud, J. M. Clerc-. Dec. 28,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Liquids, apparatus for treating with.-Relates to apparatus for regularly and continuously sizing tulle and like fabrics. The fabric, which leaves the dyeing-vat in lengths in a twisted condition, is first straightened out and wound on a roller c, Fig. 1. It is passed round a gripping-device a and rollers b, b<1>, and is uncreased and arranged by the workman so as to have less width than when finished. A certain length of string or cord is attached to each end of the fabric, and the roller c is then mounted in a centrallypivoted frame in the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, by which means the fabric can be properly directed on to the tentering-chains f. The fabric passes through a trough g, where it is soaked with size or other finishing -material, being guided thereto by a telescopic bar h. The selvedges, however, do not come in contact with the size, the tentering-chains remaining stretched and undeflected above the surface of the liquid- The trough and bar h may be moved vertically. The size is spread on the fabric, which may pass through several soaking-troughs, by one or more series of rubbers i or small rollers, and brushes j. The rubbers &c. i are adjustable in height on an horizontal slide k, which may slide in a central support r on a shaft l capable of being raised or lowered by connexion with nuts on a screw q, Fig. 4, turned by a handle t and bevel-gearing. The shaft l revolves in a frame n sliding on rails m supported from the ceiling. The slide carries pulleys o, o<1> round which passes a cord p, so that by turning a handle e the frame can be displaced along the rails. The sbaft l loosely carries three gears 6, gearing with wheels 5 on a shaft 4 carrying a pulley 3, round which a driving-cord x is guided by pulleys 2. A sliding clutch 7, controlled by a collar 8, screw 9, and handle 10, can be moved to clutch any of the gears 6 to the shaft l, or to stop the rotation of the latter altogether. The brushes j are driven in a similar manner to the rollers i, and may be moistened or supplied with fresh size by sponges &c. u, arranged in the reservoir v above or below the fabric. The machine may be supplied with inclined plates which, during rotation, direct air on to the fabric and accelerate the drying. The fabric is finally dried by a stove, heated tubes, or other source of heat at 11, disengaged from the tenter chains, and passed round two rollers which are placed close to one another, and are driven by variable-speed gear, controlled by the movement which operates the tenter chains, at a circumferential speed equal to the linear speed of the fabric in the sizing- machine. The rollers are heated to complete the drying of the fabric, which is then wound on a reel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gas Stoves.
Inventor: JUNKERS HUGO
Filed: 1906-12-01
Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 27,380. Junkers, H. Dec 1. Air-heating gas stoves.- In an air-heating gas stove of the kind in which the products of combustion are kept separate from the heated air, the cross-sectional area of the passages for the air is greater than that of the gas passages, but the length of the latter is greater than the length of the air passages. The heat-transmitting portion consists of a number of flattened tubes, of the section shown in Fig. 1, which are arranged with small spaces between them so as to form a grating. In the wall stove shown in Fig. 2, the products of combustion pass through the flattened tubes a, which are connected to end plates b, c by gas-tight joints ; the air circulates between the tubes and escapes through perforations i in the top of the casing, the back g of which may be omitted when the stove is attached to a wall. In a modified form of stove shown in Fig. 4, for use in large buildings, the tubes are arranged in two or more series, which may be staggered, and open at their lower ends into chambers k, k<1> into which the flames from the burner are directed. The end plates b, c may be formed so that the lower ends of the outer tubes are raised above those of the inner tubes, to expose a larger heating-surface to the air. The tubes may be arranged so as to form a conical grating, the spaces being larger at the lower and hotter ends, or a flat grating may be formed. In a further modification shown in Fig. 6, the products of combustion pass around the tubes a, which are made shorter and deeper, and the air passes through them.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Winding Thread or Yarn on a Core to Form a Ball or the like.
Inventor: SAUNDERS ADDISON TRESIZE
Filed: 1907-03-22
Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 6928. Saunders, A. T., and Saunders, G. H. March 22. Balls.-Relates to a machine for winding thread or yarn on to a core, more particularly adapted for making golf balls. In order to avoid parallelism in the winding, the disks by which the core is rotated are driven in the same direction at speeds which continuously vary with respect to each other. Each disk is driven at a periodically varying speed and each in relatively different phase. Provision is also made to increase gradually the speeds of each disk, and also their distance apart as the ball increases in size. The tension in the thread &c. being wound is automatically increased by the growth of the ball. On the main shaft 8 is mounted a large disk 10, Fig. 3, having on each of its faces a sinuous line of projecting pins which drive wheels 13, 18 respectively. The wheel 13 conveys motion through friction disks 19, 26 to a sleeve 24, and thence through bevel-gears 33, 38 to the ball-driving disk 45. The wheel 18 similarly drives the other ball-driving disk 46 through friction disks 20, 26, a sleeve 25, and bevel-gearing 34, 38. The revolving sleeves 24, 25 are connected at one end to a carriage 23, which is slowly moved forward as the winding continues by a screw 59 operated by suitable worm gearing from a cross-shaft 55. This moves the friction wheels 26 radially over the wheels 19, 20 and increases the speed of the disks 45,46. Simultaneously, a lazy-tongs linkage 51, fulcrumed at 49, 52, moves the disks further apart. For winding small balls, the carriage 23 may be thrown out of gear. The winding thread or yarn is led from a reel 71, Fig. 3, through a grid-iron tension arrangement, the movable arm 80 of which is connected by a rod or wire 84 to the top supporting-roller 68, so that as the ball grows the pins 81 are swung away from the pins 79 and the tension is increased. Suitable adhesive material may be supplied to the ball during winding, from a tank 86.
