Guards, controlling. - In lap - forming machines provided with a guard or cover, which is locked in position to enclose the lap roll as it is being wound and which is raised automatically when the lap is fully wound, the hollow lap roll is removably supported upon its spindle and the cover is flexibly connected at its rear edge directly to a stationary part of the machine. Means are also provided for preventing the return of the belt on to the fast pulley as long as the cover is open. The rackbars 16, Fig. 1, which carry the lap roll are provided with brackets 31 carrying a rod 33 on which is mounted the guard or cover 34. The cover is locked in position by pins 39, Fig. 6, pivoted in the brackets 31 and engaging notches in the guard. As the rack-bars rise with the growing lap, a chain 44 becomes taut and raises a pivoted knock-off piece 41 which lifts the pins 39 out of the notches in the guard. The chain then slides to the end of a slot 45 in the guard and commences to raise the guard. The shipper rod 52. Fig. 8, is locked in position to keep the belt on the loose pulley 12" by a sliding spring-controlled rod 57 secured by a catch 61 and lug 60. The catch 61 is on a shaft 62, Fig. 1, which is prevented from being turned when the guard is raised by an adjustable projection 64 on the rack-bar 16. As the rack-bar is lowered to allow a fresh lap to be wound, the projection is removed and a chain 66 is operated to turn the shaft 62 and allow the belt to be moved on to the fast pulley by the handle on the shipper rod.

Abstract: 9123. Ashworth, A. April 18. Pneumatically - controlled fastenings.-The invention comprises an apparatus for simultaneously locking and unlocking railway - carriage doors, in which the latch is either obstructed in its fullylocked position, or the latch is first moved into the locking position and then obstructed, or the latch is obstructed in the half-locked position. A piston in a cylinder D actuates a rack B which rotates a rocking catch C, formed with projections c, c<1> designed to engage the rotary latch A, Fig. 3. When the door is open, the latch rests in the half - locked position shown, but on closing the door, the latch is rotated by the handle A<2> into the horizontal fully-locked position, where it is obstructed by the catch C when the rack B is raised. If the latch A be left at half-locked position when the door is closed and then the rack B be actuated, the projection c<1> on the catch engages the lug a on the latch and moves this into the fully-locked position. Should the rack B be raised before the door is closed, the latch, when moved into the half-locked position, is engaged by a pawl c<2> pivoted within the catch C and locked in that position. The rotary latch A may be replaced by a sliding latch A', Fig. 6, in which case the latoh is secured in the half-locked position by a pawl c<3> pivoted to the rack B and engaging one or two notches in the latch A'. The rack B and piston-rod d are preferably unconnected, the rack being returned to its normal position by gravity or by a spring. In modications, the catch C is rotated by a cam in addition to the rack, or by a slotted quadrant. The cylinders D are operated by vacuum or steam, suitable controlling - means being provided in the guard's van. The cylinder D may be fitted with an exhaust valve adapted to be operated by the communication cord for emergency release. Electrically - controlled fastenings. - In a modification, the racks B are operated electrically.
