Abstract: 9254. White, J. F. April 19. Openers; feeding openers.- In a shake-willey, fibre opening and cleaning machine, rag-dusting machine, or the like having two or more rotating cylinders, the feed-apron is intermittently actuated, and shutters are arranged between the different cylinders and between the last cylinder and the outlet to control the passage of the fibre through the machine. The means for actuating the shutters and the feed are arranged so that, when the feed is actuated, the shutter between the first cylinder and the next is closed, and so that no two adjacent shutters are open at the same time. Fig. 1 shows a two-cylinder willey with an intermittently driven feedapron 29 and shutters suspended from cross-bars 23. A belt 35 running over a pulley 34 on the shaft 16 of one cylinder 1, which is driven by the usual arrangement of fast and loose pulleys, drives a pulley 35<a> and, through gearing 36, 37, the shaft driving the feed-rollers 7. A chain 5 runs over a sprocket wheel 6 on this shaft and drives an interchangeable sprocket-wheel 3 mounted on an adjustable plate 2. Two chains 12, one on each side of the machine, run round sprocket-wheels 14 on studs 15, situated below the axes 16 of the cylinders, and round guide-wheels 13, and are driven by sprocket-wheels 11 mounted on a shaft 10, running across the machine and driven by gearing 4, 9 from the sprocket-wheel 3. Cams 17, angularly adjustable with reference to the wheels 14, are mounted on their spindles and oscillate levers 20, which, through connecting- links 22, operate the shutters. The cams are arranged to operate the shutters at the correct instant. A gear 38 on the end of the lower front feed-roller drives, through a gear 39, a gear 40 loose on a shaft 41 operating the feedapron. This gear is clutched to the shaft 41 by a bell-crank lever 27 intermittently operated by the cam 17, nearest the feed end of the machine, through a lever 25 against the action of a spring 44. The first pair of feed-rollers is clothed with Garnett wire. Gratings 30 are arranged both over and under the cylinders, and hoppers and hoods connected with pneumatic means are arranged to convey away the dust.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Interrupters for Ignition Purposes.
Filed: 1909-06-09
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 13,573. Marks, E. G. R., [Milton, J. L.]. June 9. Interrupters, mechanical.-Consists in a magneto.ignition arrangement for internal-combustion engines comprising an interrupter adapted first to make contact with an element whereby a generator and transformer circuit is closed, then to break the contact with that element whereby the transformer circuit is broken and a condenser is charged, and next to make contact with a further element whereby the transformer circuit is closed and the discharge of the condenser acting through the transformer generates the required current. The interrupter, secured at the side of the generator, comprises a blade 10, Fig. 1, supporting a bellcrank lever 14, the arm 21 of which extends into the path of a cam 22, while the arm 15 is coupled to a spring 19. The free end of the blade, or a subsidiary blade 23 secured to and insulated from it, extends between the contacts 29, 30, and, normally tending to move against one of them, is held out of engagement with both. With the cam moving clockwise, as the arm 21 rises from the concentric part 33 to the top of one of the cam projections 34, the switch blade 23 makes contact with the terminal 29, closing the circuit through the generator windings 8, as shown in Fig. 3. As the cam rotates, the arm 21 passes into a depression, and the switch blade is caused by the spring to move from the upper contact to the lower. While the blade is midway between the contacts the condenser 36 is charged ; when it reaches the lower contact the condenser is discharged through the primary of the transformer T. It may be arranged that when the switch arm moves to the lower contact, a contact bar 51 upon it moves away from a pair of contacts 48, 49 in the armature circuit, so that this circuit is opened and the discharge of the condenser takes place through the transformer only. A modified arrangement of this kind is shown in Fig. 5 in which the two arms 57, 58 are connected with the armature leads and are normally separated so that the circuit through the armature is open. When the cam 55 engages the projection 54, the arm 58 is brought into contact with the arm 57. When the interrupter is released and makes contact with the terminal 56, the contacts 57, 58 separate, and this happens just prior to the moment of discharge of the condenser, so that the whole discharge passes through the transformer. The switch for opening the generator circuit may be separate from the interrupter. Specifications 22,271/08, [Class 38, Electricity, Regulating &c.], 21,962/09, and 24,602/09, [Class 7 (iv), Internal-combustion engines, igniting in], are referred to.
