Patent GB-191019391-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Means for Stretching or Maintaining the Width of Cloth, to be used in Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: SIMPSON WILLIAM
IPC: D03J1/22
Filed: 1910-08-18
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 19,391. Simpson, W. Aug. 18. Temples. - To maintain the width of and to stretch the fabric, two or more pairs of spiked stretching-plates 1, 2, 3, 4, Figs. 1 and 2, are employed at each selvedge, and they are provided with extensions o<4>, 0<2> guided in slots 0<5>, 0<3>, wherein they are raised to grasp the fabric and then moved laterally to stretch it by means of a lifter e, which is guided by a bracket c, a slide bracket d, and a slide cover d', and is reciprocated from the lay by means of lever mechanism h<2>, g<2> or from an eccentric on the tappet-shaft. The lifter e is provided with rounded raised parts or faces, so that it may force its way beneath and lift the spiked plates, and it may be shaped so as to lift first the plates 1, 3 and then the plates 2, 4. Levers k may be used to depress the plates 2, 4 when the plates 1, 3 are raised, and vice versa. The lifter has gaps e<3>, e<4> whereby it actuates levers l, p provided with pins fitting in slots in levers m, q, which are linked to the spiked plates, so that, as the lifter reciprocates, it also moves the spiked plates laterally. Separate lifters connected by a carrier may be used for each pair of spiked plates. A conical or other spiked roller s may be used to hold the fabric while it is passing over the breast beam, and the change of spiked plates is preferably effected just at the beat-up. Springs may be used in connexion with the various parts. The stretching-plates and their supports may be released or caused to retreat if the shuttle should stick in the raceway, and spring tension may keep the parts up to the work. Disengageable holding - means, which require to be re-set by the weaver, may be used. According to the Provisional Specification, the carrier for the lifters may be operated from cams on a shaft driven by ratchet mechanism, or by a reciprocating wavy plate.

Title: Improvements in Marine Clutch and Reversing Gearing.
Inventor: HOOK CHARLES STEWART
IPC: F16D23/04
Filed: 1911-06-03
Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 13,419. Hook, C. S. June 3. R e v e r s i n g - gearing; clutches. - Reversing- gearing f o r marine propulsion comprises a driving-sleeve D, Figs. 1 and 3, and a propeller shaft C supporting a loose friction drum F. The sleeve D carries pairs of planetary gears D<4>, D<5>, which mesh respectively with a gear E fast on the shaft C and with a larger gear G secured to the drum F. A r m s H<2> extending radially from a collar H fast on the shaft C carry clutch shoes H<3>, Fig. 5, which a r e adapted to be expanded against the drum F to produce a solid forward drive. The shoes H<3> are expanded by means of cams L and levers L<3> a c t e d upon through toggle links M from a loose slidable sleeve J. Clutch dogs I<3> lying in recesses H<1> in the collar H are connected to a sleeve I, which passes loosely through the sleeve J. When the sleeve J is moved to the left of Figs. 1 and 3, the toggles M cause the shoes H<3> to grip the drum F more and more tightly as the perpendicular position of these toggles is approached. When this position has been passed, a slight relative rotary motion is allowed to take place between the clutch parts. Then when the sleeve I is picked up and carried to the left by the sleeve J, the dogs I<3> readily engage recesses F<2>, Fig. 3, in the drum F, effecting positive driving. When the sleeve J is moved to the right, the dogs I<3> and shoes H<3> are in turn withdrawn, and when a brake O is applied to the drum F the gearing operates to drive the shaft C reversely. The brake O is operated by a cam spindle O<3> actuated simultaneously with the sleeve J from a spindle K, Fig. 1, and handlever K<1>.

Title: Electric Contract Devices for Clock Movements.
Inventor: APPOULLOT LEON PAUL EDOUARD
IPC: G04C23/34
Filed: 1911-09-11
Granted: 1912-09-11
Abstract: 20,149. Appoullot, L. P. E. Sept. 9, 1910, [Convention date]. Time-alarms are given by means of the hour and minute hands of a clock acting on rotating contact devices fixed on the clock face. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hands A, B rotate the switches D, E, F by means of the hooks a, b and rollers R. The switches E, F can be arranged for acting at different times by adjusting them on the scales e<1>, f<1>. One of the rotating switches is shown in Figs. 7 and 9. The rollers R and plate L carry round with them the plate M, and when the stud n on the plate falls into the notch n<2> in the conducting-plate V, the notch makes contact with the terminal w<1>. Shortly afterwards the stud n<1> reaches the notch n<3> and the plate again rocks about the studs p into a horizontal position, thus breaking the contact. During the subsequent rotation, the studs n ride up the slopes n<4>, n<5> and replace the plate M into the position shown. With the arrangement shown, the switches make a quarterrevolution at each actuation by a clock-hand, and hence the contact is closed at every second actuation. Fig. 17 shows apparatus by means of which the contact actuated by the hour-hand may be closed on certain days of the week only. The stud k carried by the revolving plate M engages with projections j on another disk J. These projections may be arranged as shown in Fig. 20 or Fig. 21, that shown in Fig. 20 preventing the falling of the plate to close the contact.

Abstract: 21,720. Vedovelli, E. Oct. 2. Soldering; uniting by fusion. - A bond for electric rails &c., consisting of a rigid or flexible metal body integral with or attached to two heads each of which has a hole or spoon-shaped recess, is connected to the rail &c. by placing it against the rail, applying a blowpipe so as to melt the rail and the bond at the holes or recesses, and then introducing copper or steel, also brought to the melting- point, into the holes or recesses, and gradually completing the filling until projecting heads are formed. While still hot, a hammer is applied to complete the joint. The integral bond may be formed of a flexible band folded several times about itself, or may consist of superposed blades. The hole may be open or closed, and may be of circular, conical, or other shape as shown in Fig. 6, so that a kind of spoon is formed on which the molten metal spreads. A completed joint is shown in Fig. 3. In the form shown in Fig. 4, consisting of a large connexion with a large hole 8, a button of copper &c. 6 is previously welded to the rail and the space subsequently filled during the operation.

Abstract: 8193. Clutterbuck, W. A., and Stewart, M. G. Aug. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Springs, arrangement of and mounting undercarriages on.-The axles of a road vehicle are mounted on the ends of levers D, which are pivotally mounted on the frame through series of involute-shaped springs J arranged within the enlarged ends of the levers. The outer ends of the springs .T have eyes H, Fig. 6, and are secured by bolts to a circular rim F on each lever D. The inner ends are bevelled and lie close together around a central sleeve R. The centre is prevented from rotating by projections M on a fixed disk K, Fig. 7, which engage radial recesses cut in the springs after assembling. Radial movement of the springs is prevented by an annular projection N on a disk L which engages a recess on the opposite sides of the springs. The two disks K, L are clamped together by a bolt S which can be released to enable the position of the springs relative to the disk K to be adjusted. The levers D consist of two plates with a wood filling-piece, and may be stayed laterally to the axles. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following modifications. One of the plates of each lever D may itself form the lateral stay. One or more of the springs J may extend from the rim F and have its outer end connected to the axle. Or each spring may be independently applied along a transverse shaft parallel to the axle and have its end connected to the axle. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
