Title: Improvements in Let-off Mechanism for Looms for Weaving.
Filed: 1903-11-20
Granted: 1904-11-10
Abstract: 25,314. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. Nov. 20. Loom let-off motions.-In the let-off mechanism described in Specification No. 7063, A.D. 1900, in which the warp beam is positively rotated by means including a pawl and ratchet, and both the warp tension and the diameter of the yarn mass on the beam govern the advance of the ratchet at each stroke of the pawl, an alteration is made in the speed-reducing gearing used intermediate the ratchet and a shaft from which the warp beam is driven, in order to prevent unevenness in the let-off caused by the oscillation of the arm g<3> described ia the above-mentioned Specification. As in the prior Specification, the ratchet is loose on the shaft B<x> from which the warp beam is driven, an internally-toothed gear g is fast on the shaf B<x>, and an externally-toothed gear g<1> is loosely mounted on an eccentric g<2> secured to the ratchet. A concentric hub g<30> on the ratchet surrounds the shaft B<x> between the ratchet and the eccentric g<2>, and rigidly connects them, and the arm g<3> is formed with a yoke-like head G<x> embracing the hub g<30>, while a slot g<4> at its other end embraces the rock-shaft E, described in the prior Specification, so that the arm g<3> may move longitudinally, but has no rocking movement. Slots g<7>, between ears g<6> formed on the head G<x>, receive lugs 20 on the gear g<1>, the lugs being free to slide in the slots. The rotation of the ratchet in the direction of the arrow imparts a circular motion to the gear g<1>, which is prevented from rotating by the arm g<3>, and the gear g<1> travels along the internal gear g, rotating the latter in the same direction at a reduced speed. The remainder of the let.off mechanism is constructed substantially as described in the prior Specification, except that the depending arm of the compound pawl-carrier is directly connected to a link provided at its forward end with an elongated eye to receive a pin on the lay-sword. A friction clamp, co-operating with a concentric hub or disc on the ratchet, as described in the prior Specification, may be used if desired.

Granted: 1906-12-27
Abstract: 26,965. Ippers, J. W. Dec. 30, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Etching. - A complete process is described for preparing a printing-surface for graduated printing on paper or cloth, which h includes photographic and mechanical means without hand drawing or engraving, and without any halftone screen. A negative of the subject is printed upon a sensitized gelatin plate, the base of which is flexible and elastic but not liable to distortion or corrosion. A translucent celluloid sheet with a finely ground surface is mounted by means of fishglue on a thin steel plate. The emulsion is applied and dried and baked upon the celluloid surface, after which a second coating may be applied. Calcium chloride is included in one of the two bichromate emulsions specified. The plate is developed first with warm water and then with cold water, and treated with a chrome-alum solution to prevent the relief from sinking to a uniform level. The surface of the plate has numerous irregular cracks in the depressed parts as illustrated in Fig. 6, varying in size and corresponding with the lighter and darker parts of the picture. The developed gelatin plate is stripped from its support, treated with a glycerine solution, inked, and pressed down iu contact with a copper plate. The ink is converted into enamel by an enamelling powder of resin, shellac, and alcohol, and by heating. The plate is then etched and the enamelling powder removed by turpentine. The same process is applicable in preparing copper and like printing rollers, and for colour printing either from one surface or by successive printings from separate plates or rollers prepared from colour negatives.
