Title: Improvements in or relating to the Signalling Apparatus Employed in connection with the Winding Engines of Mines and other Works.
Inventor: BAYLEY HENRY DENNIS
IPC: B66B19/06
Filed: 1913-12-02
Granted: 1914-12-02
Abstract: 27,709. Bayley, H. D., and Froggatt, B. Dec. 2. Mechanical telegraphs; bell and gong signals ; recording signals.-Bells rung from the top and bottom respectively of a mine-shaft are associated with two pointers showing the number of rings given, are cord being simultaneously pricked on a paper band. Locking- means for the steam-control lever of the winding- engine are provided whereby the engine cannot be started until both bells have been rung. An escapement-pawl b on each indicator is actuated either electrically or mechanically whenever the corresponding bell is rung, releasing step by step a rack a and therewith a frame j having a pointer l and a series of numbered glasses j<3>, the rack a being actuated by a spring or weight. The lowest glass is coloured red and the rest green, illumination being given by a lamp k. In the form shown the apparatus is operated electrically, the electromagnets h being wired in series or parallel with the corresponding bells. The frame j is slidable on the axle c, and is connected to the rack a by pins j<1> sliding in holes. At each movement of the frame and rack, the frame is pressed inwards against a spring U<1> by the action of a toothed clutch, the outer member U of which is prevented from rotating in one direction by a pawl U<2> pivoted on the fixed frame D. The inward movement of the arm j causes a needle T' on an arm T to prick a paper band P which is fed upwards by clock-work or by means operated when the indicators are reset. The resetting is effected by pinions M, M', Figs. 2 and 3, attached to the axles c of the racks a. The pinions are turned by racks N, N<1> when these are pulled downwards by a slide 0 having a pawl O<3> which engages catches N<2>, N<3> on the racks, but is disengaged in its lowest position by a cam D<1>. The slide O is controlled by a spring O<5> and is moved by a cable O<4> connected to the winding- mechanism or the props of the cage. The first movement of each indicator j lowers a correspoading slide Z, Fig. 1, to release one of two locking- means at the steam-control lever Y, Fig. 5, by permitting a slide X to be withdrawn by a spring go as to allow a pawl W to fall, each pawl W being normaliy supported by a cam-surface X<1> so as to be in the pith of a pivoted catch Y<1> on the lever Y. The lever can thus be moved only when both indicators have been operated and both slides X released. Provision may be made for automatically printing the number of each winding on the paper band.

Filed: 1915-05-05
Granted: 1915-12-30
Abstract: 6732. Stork & Co., Gebr. May 13,1914, [Convention date]. Regulating delivery by varying speed and power of motor.-In regulating - apparatus for boiler-feed pumps of the kind in which the steam inlet to the pump engine is controlled by a piston exposed on one side to the pressure of the pump delivery and on the other to the combined pressures of the steam and a spring, the steam valve is of the piston type, and the steam inlet to the driving- turbine &c. consists of two sets of ports 7, 8, of which the ports 7 are always open, while the ports 8 are controlled by the piston valve. The actuating-piston 1 may itself act as the valve. Racing of the engine is prevented by a cut-off valve 4 connected to the piston 1 when the pump delivery pressure falls off considerably. The valve 4 and piston 1 are raised at starting by means of a lever 16 and rod 14. When the piston 1 is balanced, the lever 16 is lowered and the valveshaped head of the rod 14 seats and prevents leakage. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the statement that, in addition to the safety-valve 4, a separate safety regulator, as generally used with steam turbines, may be used to cause the water pressure under the piston 1 to fall off if the pump should start racing. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Nets on Twist Lace Machines.
IPC: D04C5/02
Filed: 1915-07-22
Abstract: 10,629. Turner, R., Turner, W., Turner, F. G., and Byard Manufacturing Co. July 22. Lace.-A seamless tubular net, with diamondshaped mesh and twin parallel threads in each bar, is produced on a twist-lace machine. Two nets, one in front of the other are produced simultaneously, the selvedges being connected together at the marginal points. Lacing- threads, which are subsequently removed, are employed to hold the edges of the two nets together. The warp threads are arranged in two sets, and the bobbin threads work in pairs, alternate pairs going to form the front and the back nets. The bobbin threads a, b, Fig. 2, twist with the warp threads c, d to form twin parallel pillars D, and are carried round the warp threads of the adjacent pair of pillars to form the mesh. At the edges of the front net, the pillars. are connected to the marginal pillars of the back net. One bobbin thread a, Fig. 3, may be employed with each pair of warp threads c, d, to form single pillars H with twin parallel threads. When the net is to be cut into lengths, the junctions of the pillars on each side of the dividing-line are made more secure by passing the bobbin threads round the warp threads of the adjacent pillars a number of times. To leave a fringe, a number of inoperative notions are made after completing a secure edge as described above.
