Title: An Improved Machine for Making Brushes.
Inventor: KLEEMANN GEORG
IPC: A46D3/04
Filed: 1911-08-24
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 19,042. Kleemann, G. Ang. 24. [Addition to 17,094/10.] Brush - making machines. - Relates to machines for fixing the tufts with a continuous wire, and comprises (a) a positive closing of the gripper-members to bend stiffer tufts sufficiently, (b) a spring-mounted guideroller for the wire, (c) a manner of operation of the drawing - in levers, (d) a feed for the bristles, and (e) a gripper-pliers carrying the tuft to the gripper-members. (a) The sliding gripper-members 1, 2, Fig. 11, which are drawn along by the wire, have cam-slots 3 which, acting on fixed pins 4, close the grippermembers to compress the tuft 25 and allow of its easy insertion in the stock. (b) The guideroller 8, Fig. 1, is mounted on an arm 9 pivoted at 10 and controlled by a spring 13, to equalize the tension of the wire. (c) The first drawing- in lever 18, Fig. 1, is rocked by a bell-crank lever 14, 24 (to which it is connected at the clamp 16, 17) and link 23 from a cam. The second drawing-in lever 11, pivoted at 10 and carrying the roller 19, is rocked by a link 22 from a separate cam. In drawing the tuft into the stock, the link 23 closes the clamp 16, 17, and throws the lever 18 to the left, where it remains while the link 22 moves the roller 19 up, simultaneously raising the guide-roller 8. The roller 19 remains raised while the clamp 16, 17 is opened and the lever 18 moves to the right. The guide-roller 8 drawing wire off the reel, and lastly the roller 19 moves down, leaving the wire across the needle-path. (d) The bristle - feed to a known dividing - device 26, Fig. 1, consists of one or more belts 27 tightened by a device 30 and driven by a weight 35 or gearing. The belt carries pivoted pins 34 with a right-angled bend, which are deflected through holes in the belt when passing the dividing- device. A chain 38, Fig. 9, having lengthened links 39 for the apertures, may be used in place of the belt. (e) The gripper-pliers, Fig. 5, for transferring the tuft from the dividing-device 26 to the gripper members 1, 2, is opened by an eccentric 45, Fig. 1, which operates an arm 54 tilting a lever 42 and causing the parts 40, 41 to slide apart.

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 24,458. Kasberger, M. Nov. 3, 1910, [Convention dute]. Moulds.-A brick mould is formed with two compartments which are adapted to be used alternately so that, during the removal of moulded bricks from one compartment, fresh bricks can be moulded in the other. The mould is formed of two open-ended compartments having outer walls 2, 3 and a common middle wall 4. A series of partitions 7, of the dimensions of one compartment, are carried by a shaft 8 mounted in a recess 9 in the wall 4 and can be rocked from one compartment to the other. For producing hollow blocks, rotary cores 15, fitted with smoothing wings 17, 18, are mounted in holes 14 in the partitions 7 and are withdrawn from the mould prior to the rocking of the partitions. Fig. 3 shows mechanism for operating the cores and the partitions. The cores are operated by gearing 21, 20 connected to a spur-wheel 19 loosely mounted on the shaft 8 and having a bevelled portion 22 meshing with the bevelled portion 23 of a spurwheel 24 which is mounted on a shaft 29 and gears with a rack 25. When the shaft 29 is operated by means of a crank &c., the wheel 24 traverses the rack 25, withdrawing the shaft 8 and the cores and also rotating the cores. When the cores have been completely withdrawn, the gears 19, 20, 21 are locked by a detent 31, and, on further operation of the shaft 29, the partitions 7 are rocked from one compartment to the other. The cores are reinserted and the operation repeated. The bricks are pressed by a hinged cover 12, Fig. 1, slitted for the passage of the partitions 7.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable Velocity Power Transmission Devices.
Inventor: LOUIS EDWARD STANISLAUS
IPC: F16H55/56
Filed: 1912-01-26
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 2160. Louis, E. S. Jan. 26. [Cognate Application, 4408/12.] Variable - speed bell gearing, suitable for lathes, comprises expanding pulleys having separable flanges 1, 2, Fig. 2, which coact with cam grooves or surfaces 5, 6 so as to be pressed into gripping engagement with a belt &c. with a force automatically proportioned to the effective tension in the belt for all diameters. The grooves 5, 6, which may be cut in a sleeve 3 secured to a shaft 4, are inclined in opposite directions, and are engaged by pins &c. 7, 8 projecting from the flanges 1, 2. As the diameter of pulley increases, the turning-movement for a given belt-tension increases, and therefore a less inclination of the grooves 5, 6 is necessary to keep the squeezing action of the pulley flanges constant. The grooves 5, 6 are therefore curved, being more nearly parallel to the axis of the shaft 4 at their outer than at their inner ends. The grooves 5, 6 may slope in the opposite way on the other side of the sleeve 3 to allow the pulley to drive also in the opposite direction. Gearing comprising a pair of these pulleys, controlled through rollers 27, 28 from a hand-wheel 31 is shown in Fig. 12.

Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 7889. Wasgestian, J. April 1. Recording particular operations; drum apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for recording the discharge of materials from wagons. A rotary tippler, comprising rails 13 for the wagon supported on circular frames 2, rides on bearing- wheels 3, the axles 5 of which are mounted on springs 9 and carry electric contacts which close a circuit when a loaded wagon enters the tippler. Above the circular frame 2 rides a spring-pressed wheel 15, the vertical movement of which, varying with the load, is communicated by an arm 18, guided rod 19, and lever 21 to a marker 23, which is thrown by an electro-magnet 27 into contact with a record drum 28. To ensure a record only upon actual discharge of the wagon, a contact-ring 30 is fitted to the wheel 15. Normally a contact 31 rests on an insulating part of the ring 30, but on tipping the wagon the conducting part meets the contact 31, whereupon the electro-magnet 27 is energized and a record is made. The record drnm has a screwed hub 38 engaging a fixed screw 37 and is gradually moved along the screw by a slotted sleeve 40 engaging the arms 39 of the hub and driven by a clock-work train 33 through bevel-gear.

Abstract: 3728. Newsholme, N. R. Feb. 13. Doffing-arrangements; spindle apparatus.- Cap frames are provided with doffing-apparatus comprising motions and mechanisms similar to those employed in the apparatus for flyer frames described in Specification 7952/11. A rail F, capable of being reciprocated horizontally, carries pegs P, which enter the bores of the caps and bobbins, and a hinged tray T, which supports both the caps and the bobbins and is so shaped as to allow the bobbins to pass therethrough at the desired times. The spindle and lifter rails are lowered, after the bobbins are filled, until the caps are below the level of the bottom of the pegs P, and the rail F is advanced, the trays being withheld by a catch, as described in the above-mentioned Specification. The lifter rail is then raised and releases the catch so that the tray swings forward and with the pegs P, supports the caps and bobbins as shown in Fig. 2. The lifter rail is lowered and the rail F is further advanced until a stop on a peg rail P' partly withdraws the tray and causes it to be engaged by its retaining-catch, whereupon the bobbins fall through the tray and are received upon the pegs. The emptybobbin peg rail P<2> is raised and a projection thereon, or the rail itself, releases the tray when it is placed thereover so that the empty bobbins are supported within the cap. The tray is again released when the bar F is retracted to a position above the spindles, the empty bobbins and caps being received upon the spindles in readiness for the re-start. Suitable yarn-severing devices may be employed. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that a single rail provided with two rows of pegs and capable of a sliding as well as a rising and falling movement may be used in place of the two peg rails for full and empty bobbins, and that the upper ends of the caps may be somewhat longer than usual and provided with an aperture which is partly parallel and partly coned.
