Abstract: 12,149. Schmidt, F., and Fremaux, C. May 25. Combing-machines. - The feed mechanism and the combing and drawing-off mechanism are disposed in two independent groups which are carried by rocking arms oscillated in opposite directions, the machine being readily adapted for combing fibres of various length by varying the extent of the oscillation of the arms. The feed-rollers 11, 12, 13, 14, Figs. 1 and 5, are supported between brackets 5, which are carried by cranks 8 and hinged to beams 1 arranged at each side of the machine and oscillated about a shaft 2 by an eccentric 4. The comb 20 together with the grooved drawing-off rollers or pullers 21, 22, the delivery belt 23, and the delivery rollers 25, 26, are carried by beam 17 also mounted on the shaft 2 and oscillated in the opposite direction to the beams 1 by an eccentric 18. The material passes over a grooved roller 28, between the fluted rollers 11, 12, and the toothed rollers 13, 14, the teeth of which point in the opposite direction to their rotation and work in conjunction with a curved plate 16 for keeping the fibres in the teeth. The overhanging end 29 of fibre is combed by the comb 20 as the beams 17 descend and the beams 1 ascend, and on the return movements of the beams the cleaned ends are taken up by the rollers 21, 22, which draw the rear ends through the teeth of the roller 14. The comb 20 cleans the roller 14 and is itself cleaned at each descent by a brush 29<1>, doffer 30, and doffer comb 31, these devices being driven from the main shaft. The drawing-off and delivery mechanism is intermittently driven, as it ascends, through ratchet gear 50, 52, Fig. 11, and a rod 48 from a crank-disk 46 on the end of the shaft 45 carrying the brush 29', and the feed-rollers are intermittently driven, when in their lowest position, by ratchet gear 62, 64 and a rod 61 from the rod 48.

Patent GB-190822415-A (GB)
Title: Pneumatic Apparatus for Effecting the Synchronization of a Kinematograph and a Phonograph.
Inventor: PROSZYNSKI CASIMIR DE
Filed: 1908-10-22
Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 22,415. Proszynski, C. de. Oct. 22. Kinematographs.-A kinematograph is coupled synchronously and pneumatically with a phonograph by connecting the spindle A of the kinematograph with an air-pump or bellows 8, the air outlet T of which is regulated by the phonograph through some electric, pneumatic, or mechanical device m such a manner that, when the synchronism is not perfect the bellows act upon the kinematograph as a brake or as a motor to retard or to accelerate its working. The spindle A is in part hollow and this hollow part communicates with the pipe T, the hollow part being slotted to place it in communication with a curved slot 1 formed in the disk D which is keyed upon the spindle A, and alongside this disk a disk C is mounted which is freely rotatable on the spindle A and has a curved slot 2. The disk C is pressed against the disk D by a spring F, which also brings the disk C back to a predetermined position so that the slots 1, 2 do not coincide. When the slots are in alinement with each other, the air can escape from the bellows S, and, when they are not in alinement, the crank B is locked or braked more or less relatively to the extent to which these apertures register with each other. The action of the apparatus is as follows. The spindle A is first rotated once and in doing this the finger i acts upon the lever a and closes the circuit, thus bringing about the disengagement of the lever K from the groove in the drum 0 of the phonograph ; thereupon the phonograph is set in motion and sends the current to an electro-magnet which causes the anchor escapement H to oscillate. From that moment, the pinion E and consequently the disk C are carried along at an increased speed proportional to that of the phonograph, and the registering of the slots 1 and 2 is brought about more or less completely as the speed of the phonograph increases and the braking of the kinematograph mechanism is proportionately diminished ; the escape of the air and accordingly the braking effect exerted upon the kinematograph are so much greater or so much less accordingly as the speed of the phonograph is greater or less and thus synchronism is brought about. Pneumatic or mechanical devices may be employed to control the anchor escapement H, a pneumatic device being described.

Filing papers &c.-In a loose-leaf book or binding-device, the sheets 8 are held together by clamping - strips 4, 5 curving outwards and gripping the sheets along a narrow margin only so as to permit them to bend directly to right and left. The strips 4, 5 are provided with feet 9 which slide between two co-axial semicylindrical plates 2, 3, the upper of which is circumferentially slotted to allow the motion of the strips 4, 5. Telescoping posts 6, 7 are mounted on the strips 4, 5, and the sheets 8 have holes from which slots extend to one edge of the sheets to enable them to be filed on the posts when these and the strips 4, 5 are drawn apart. The plates 2, 3 are mounted on a base-plate 1 screwed to the back 24, to which are connected the covers 25 by narrow bars 26. Hollow bars 11, 12 hinged to the base-plate 1 are screwed to the parts 26, and bear against, and bring together, the strips 4, 5 when the parts 26 are raised into a vertical position to close the binder. The whole is secured by two flaps 14 hinged one to each end of one of the parts 26 and each furnished with a catch 13, which is locked by a device on the other part 26. This device comprises two levers, pressed by springs into the locking- position and unlocked by a key - operated cam engaging the inner ends of the levers. A spring- actuated pin 23 serves to force the flaps 14 open when the levers are turned out of engagement.

Abstract: 8018. Samain, P. April 3. Multiple - acting reversible piston pumps; stroke, varying. - In fluid power-transmission systems comprising motor-driven pumps and power - transmitting motors, the control is effected by one lever. The shaft 1, which actuates the pump pistons through a compound eccentric 2, 6, has a continuation 4 with a screw-thread. 5 of opposite sense to that of the compound eccentric. The six pistons are arranged as opposed pairs, each pair being rigidly connected, and such connexions being in parallel planes. In the case of the pistons 10, 11, the piston-rods 18, 19 have an open frame connexion provided with projections 16, 17, which engage with and are operated by the compound eccentric, a ball bearing 8 being provided. The pump cylinders have distributing channels and valves, the piston valve being mounted in pairs and actuated by a crank 35 on a sleeve 36 loose on the shaft 1. This sleeve carries a pin 38 which moves in a groove in the face of the eccentric 6. The eccentric 2 under power conditions has a tendency to move along the shaft 1 and rotate relatively to the eccentric 6 until the compound eccentric has no eccentricity. In order to obtain any required eccentricity, and consequently any desired output from the pumps, the longitudinal motion is controlled by a sliding nut 46, which contacts with a nut 45 on the screwed portion 5 under the influence of suitable levers connected with the main control lever.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Measuring the Flow of Liquids in Closed Conduits.
Inventor: SIMPSON FRED
IPC: G01F1/37
Filed: 1909-09-24
Granted: 1910-09-26
Abstract: 21,769. Simpson, F., and Woods, A. R. T. Sept. 24. Liquid-steam indicators.-Relates to apparatus, specially applicable to cooled brine circulating systems, of the kind in which the loss of head due to the passage through a constriction is used to estimate the flow. (1) A flat or tapered bar is arranged across the pipe to form the constriction, (2) a connecting pipe fitted with a smaller constriction is arranged between the two limbs of the gauge tube, (3) one or both legs of the gauge are of varying cross-sectional area, so that equal spaces on the scale correspond with equal changes of velocity, (4) a float in one or both legs of the gauge prevents the liquid from being driven over the bend of the gauge, and (5) cocks on the gauging-device indicate the amount of entrapped air. (1), (2), Fig. 1 shows the device diagrammatically. The cock 2 is fitted in the brine circuit pipe 1, and within it is a detachable tapered block 3, Fig. 2, held in place by a detachable cover 4 and provided with a cross-bar 5 to form the constriction. The gauge 15 is connected to the pipe 1 on either side of the constriction by pipes 16, 17, and between the limbs of the pipe 15 is a smaller constriction 5<b> arranged in the pipe 18. The constriction 5<a> may be made of taper form as shown in Fig. 5, or the tapered bar may be made of circular cross-section as shown at 5<a>, Figs. 6 and 7. This form is adjusted by means of a screw thread and nuts. The space above the brine in the gauge-glass is filled with air or another liquid not miscible with it. (3) Instead of graduating the scale to read heads, the scale of one of the columns may be made so that equal increments of height indicate equal increments of velocity by suitably varying the cross-sectional area of one or both legs of the gauge 15. To test the circuit for leakage, the outlet shut-off valve 26 is closed, and the circulating pressure is maintained. Should the leakage be large, it manifests itself at the larger constriction: If it be small, the larger constriction is closed and the smaller is opened. (4) Floats 35, Fig. 8, are placed at the top of each brine column to serve as shutoff valves against the seats 36 if the movement of the brine column should be abnormally large. (5) To detect the presence of air in the circuit, the shut-off valves 13, 26 and the cock 28 are all closed while the circuit is under pressure. The smaller constriction and the cock 29 are then opened, and the relief in the pressure allows the air to expand and the brine to escape through the cock 29. Figs. 10 and 11 show an arrangement whereby a single gauge glass may be used for a battery of circuits. Instead of making the gauge of equal diameter, in which case the liquid rises and falls, equally in each column, one leg may be made of comparatively large diameter, so that the liquid level remains practically constant in the larger leg, and almost the whole variation of head is shown in the other.
