Inventor: RHODES SAMUEL
IPC: D01G31/00
Filed: 1909-03-24
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 7025. Rhodes, S. March 24. Guards, controlling.-Relates to a locking- device for the front door plates or cylinder covers of revolving-flat carding-engines, which prevents the door from being opened as long as the belt is on the fast pulley and until the pulley has ceased rotating, and which prevents the belt from being returned to the fast pulley as long as the door is open. A lever d, Fig. 1, is mounted to move in an horizontal plane, and is provided at one end with a projection d<4> adapted to lock an arm e secured to the door f. and at the other end with a spring-controlled tooth d<2> adapted, when the lever is moved, to engage between teeth c at the back of the fast pulley. A second weighted lever i is mounted on the frame and carries a projection k', which normally engages the lever d and prevents it from rocking on its pivot. The end i<2> of the lever i is so curved that when the lever is rocked this curved portion comes into contact with the periphery of the fast pulley. When it is desired to open the door, the belt is placed on the loose pulley, and the lever i is rocked to remove the projection k<1> out of the way of the lever d, so that, when the fast pulley is at rest, it can be moved to release the arm e, the tooth d<2> entering between two of the teeth c at the back of the fast pulley. On opening the door f, an arm g operates a lever h with a sector-shaped end, and brings such end into engagement with a projection i<1> on the lever i, thus locking that lever with its end i<2> against the fast pulley so that the belt cannot be replaced on the fast pulley until the door is closed. To allow the belt to be moved back on to the fast pulley while the door is open for grinding &c., the point of connexion between the arm g and the lever h may be changed to a hole g<1> to allow the lever h to be held out of the way. The lever d may be locked in position by an upwardly bent extension on the lever i near the handle instead of by the projection k<1>, the lever i being suitably bent.

Abstract: 12,665. Hansen, H. P. May 28. Wood pipes and tubes are made in continuous lengths by winding shavings or the like upon an inflatable mandrel, which is afterwards collapsed to allow removal of the pipe, the pipe being coated with bitumen, resin, &c., and afterwards dried and preferably compressed between suitable dies. The winding-machine, Fig. 1, comprises a mandrel having a steel core 1 and an inflatable rubber sleeve 2 provided with a valve 3 and geared to the driving- shaft 7, which carries fast and loose pulleys 8, 9. Carriers 11 receiving spools of shavings, preferably steamed, may be set at any angle on sleeves 12 sliding upon guide-rods 10. ' A trough 14, containing bitumen, resin, &c. and carrying a coating-roller 15, is mounted alongside the mandrel; the roller 15, Fig. 8, is journaled in blocks sliding in vertical guides 16, and is supported at intervals in the trough on rollers 17 suspended by springs 19. The trough is raised to bring the coating-roller into contact with the wound material by means of bellcrank levers 20, which are operated by side rods actuated by a hand-lever 22. In operation, one layer of shavings is wound on the mandrel helically or otherwise, the carrier 11 being moved along by hand or automatically, and the layer is then coated with bitumen &c. A second layer is similarly wound and coated as before; a short length is left unwound so that a second length may be wound as a continuation of the first. The next two layers are wound with the mandrel rotating in the opposite direction, and so on. To wind a second length in continuation of the first, the mandrel is collapsed, the block 6 of the bracket 5 is removed, and the wound section drawn endways, so that the exposed end of the inner layer is left on the mandrel. Spinning is continued after a split ring is clamped on the pipe, so as to rotate in the bracket 5. After drying, the pipe may be subjected to pressure, for example, in the mechanical press shown in Figs. 11 and 12, which comprises fixed lower dies 31 and movable upper dies 32 operated by screws 37, worms and worm-wheels 36 from the shaft of hand - wheels 34. Internal pressure, such as hydraulic, may be applied to the pipe between the dies, for instance by placing the pipe on an inflatable mandrel. The mandrel may consist of an inflatable tube inside a steel expansible core, the shavings may be coated on their way to the mandrel, and the spun pipe may be compressed in dies for producing articles of other than cylindrical section, for example, troughs or channels for electric conductors &c.

Abstract: 23,501. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 14. Engine stop-gear. - A turbine valve - gear which is normally controlled by a speed governor acting through a motor relay is operated by a pressure-responsive device when the pressure of the fluid supply falls below a predetermined limit. An emergency stop-gear is also provided. The application to a turbine driven by the lowpressure exhaust steam from a reciprocating engine is described, the pressure-responsive device coming into operation when the pressure falls below atmospheric. The steam inlet 2 of the turbine is throttled by a butterfly valve 8 on a spindle 18, which is actuated by the speed governor through the agency of the pilot-motor 9. The lever 5, which is rocked vertically by the governor, is connected by a rod 13 to a bar 12 which raises or depresses the rod 11 of the pilot-motor valve 10. A follow-up device 35, 38 is provided. The pressure-responsive device comprises a spring - pressed diaphragm 43, Fig. 3, subjected upon its upper side to atmospheric or other desired pressure and on its under side to the pressure of the fluid supply. On this latter pressure falling below the limit, the rod 46 depresses the valve-rod 11 and so closes down the turbine until the pressure again rises. To provide for the emergency gear, a sleeve having an arm 19 is keyed to the spindle 18. A spring-held bell crank 20 pivoted upon the arm has a projection 21 adapted to engage a recess in the hub of the loosely mounted arm 17 which is connected by a bar 16 to the cross-head 15 on the piston-rod 14 of the pilot-motor.
