Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanism for Replenishing Filling or Yarn in the Shuttles of Looms
Inventor: WYMAN HORACE WINFIELD
Filed: 1901-07-02
Granted: 1901-08-24
Abstract: 13,433. Wyman, H. W. July 2. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically; shuttles; shuttle boxes. - A selfthreading shuttle 1, of any desired type, is provided with a weft-carrier 2, having a metallic ring 9, or other electric conductor, which is normally covered by the weft. An aperture 12 in the shuttle, opposite the ring 9, registers with an aperture 11 in the shuttle box at the completion of alternate picks, and, when the lay 4 beats up, two feelers 34, 35, carried by a fixed block 33, pass through the apertures 11, 12, and are normally prevented from striking the ring 9 by the weft. The feelers, which are insulated from each other, are longitudinally movable, and may be provided with springs 38. These feelers are included in an open shunt circuit 36, 37, connected to a circuit 30, 31, employed for exciting an electromagnet 27, the armature 26 of which is pivoted to a forked slide 20, employed to actuate an arm 23 secured to a rocking shaft, which effects the operation of the weft-replenishing mechanism in the usual way. When the weft in the shuttle has been exhausted to a certain extent, the feelers strike the ring 9, and the shunt circuit is closed ; the current in the main circuit is consequently weakened, and the armature 26 falls into the path of a projection 19 on the weft-fork hammer 18, which then actuates the slide 20 and the weft-replenishing mechanism.

Abstract: 21,578. Harrison, G., [Brophy, J.]. Oct. 3. Lathes.-In automatic turret-lathes, particularly those of the type described in Specification No. 3709, A.D. 1896, the turret carriage is traversed at two different speeds by a shaft A, driven directly at the higher speed by a pulley D through a clutch C, and at the lower speed through a friction disc B, to which the pulley is secured, differential gearing E, and a ratchet - wheel G secured on the shaft. The differential gearing drives a two-armed boss F, one arm carrying a pawl f<1>, which has an arm f<2>, with a friction block f<3>, engaging between the ratchet-wheel and a disc H pressed against the block by a spring g. The disc is feathered on a sleeve secured to the shaft and provided with a capj. The second arm of the boss F is provided with a pivoted arm f<4> carrying a friction block f<5>, to preserve the parallelism of the wheel and disc. When the clutch C is engaged with the pulley, the disc and wheel overrun the boss F and the pawl, and lift the pawl out of engagement with the wheel by means of the friction block f<3>. When the clutch is disengaged, the shaft slows down till the pawl is rocked into engagement with the wheel, the shaft being then driven by the differential gearing. To enable the traverse of the turret to be stopped or operated manually, the shaft A is divided at a<4>, Fig. 5, and provided with clutch faces and a centering-pin a<8>. The part of the shaft carrying the worm K can be moved longitudinally by a handle a<12>, engaging a oollar a<10>, the worm being then manually operated by a handle L.
