Patent GB-190925531-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Embroidery Machines.
Inventor: SCHOENFELD MORRIS
IPC: D05C11/06
Filed: 1909-11-05
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 25,531. Schoenfeld, M. Nov. 5. Embroidery m achines. - The numerous working devices of an embroidery machine are not carried by the usual heavy horizontal beams but bv a number of upright posts or frames arranged at comparativelv short distances apart along the length of the machine. By this arrangement more than the usual two rows of needles, one above another, can be provided. The needles, shuttles, and all the other rows of tools can be constructed to permit adjustment in a vertical direction. Further, by this arrangement less of the embroidery surface is hidden from view by the machine frame and also it is possible to group the thread-handling parts in front of the frame so as to reduce to a minimum the parts of the embroidery surface which they hide from view. Many constructions embodying these features are described. The needle-bars and shuttle-races may be mounted to slide directly upon the vertical bars or upon short girders secured between the vertical bars. The vertical bars may be of similar shape to the end frames and be tied together by longitudinal beams or bolts and distance-pieces and by a common base-plate. Or, they may be secured between two main beams 21, 22 and 23, 24, Figs. 14 and 17, at the top and bottom of the machine. Or they may be secured to a common baseplate and to a central girder above the machine. Instead of the needle-bars sliding in guides on the vertical bars, they may be rigidly secured to vertical bars, which are themselves mounted slidingly on, say, rods 52, 53, Fig. 17, in the fixed frame. Any means of securing the parts adjustably may be used. The shuttle races may be held by bolts 79 passing through slots in the vertical frames, or they may be held by screws 80. The frames 71 carrying the thread-controlling devices may be similarly secured. The vertical frames may be slotted similarly to the bed of a turning-lathe to receive adjustable fastenings. The vertical bars may be tubular and the races &c. for the tools may be secured to them by clamps, nuts, &c. The drivers for the shuttles, the take-up mechanisms, &c. are made correspondingly adjustable. When short beams between vertical frames are employed, the short beams may be trough-shaped and the thread-controlling devices may be arranged inside the trough, for example, as shown in Fig. 30. These girders may be arranged with their greatest width parallel to the normal direction of viewing the embroidery. When the frames shown in Fig. 14 are used, the thread-spool, tension-devices, take-up, &c. may be arranged as shown or in any desired way to reduce to obstruction to viewing the embroidery. To increase the rigidity of machines while keeping to a light construction, two machines may be arranged back-to-back and united by transverse and longitudinal ties and by cross-frames in the foundations.

IPC: G01G1/00
Filed: 1910-01-11
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 773. Boult, A. J., [Longstreth, C. B.]. Jan. 11. Multiple-indication apparatus; dials and scales, illuminating.-Relates to weighing-apparatus having illuminating means for the computing-scales, and consists in providing means for screening the mechanism of the scale from the heat generated by the source of light, and also in providing the usual stationary price-perunit-weight chart with perforated figures through which the light can shine. The weighing-mechanism, of known form, is connected to the draw-bar B, Fig. 1, which in turn is connected to rotatable computing-charts C. The descent of the draw-bar B during a weighing operation allows a lever E, Fig. 3, to close the circuit of a pair of lamps D. The lamps are situated in bulging end-pieces C<2> on the casing, and are partitioned off from the operating-mechanism by means of glass, mica, or other transparent plates D<1>. One lamp may be dispensed with or replaced by a reflector, or the lamps may be detachably secured to the bulging end-piece C<2>. In a modification, where the load is balanced by means of a pendulum weight, the scale-pan lever is extended beyond its connexion with the pendulum weight and operates a switch similar to that shown in Fig. 3. The price-per-unit-weight chart H, Fig. 6, situated in front of the computing-charts C, is provided with perforated figures adapted to be illuminated by the lamps. Instead of electricity, other illuminating-means may be employed.
