Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 25,554. Worman, T. Aug. 26, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Loom shuttlechanging mechanism. - Weft-feeler mechanism, particularly for use with the shuttlechanging mechanism described in Specification No. 1625, A.D. 1905, comprises a pin d, slidably mounted within a tubular part e on a fixed upright a. When the lay beats up, one end of the pin d passes through openings in the shuttle box and the shuttle, and normally is pressed forwards by a spring-actuated collar g<x> on the shuttle tongue. The other end of the pin d acts upon a spring f on the upright a, so that the spring tilts a bell-crank lever m, which is pivoted on an arm j, fast on the rock-shaft i described in the prior Specification. When the weft in the shuttle is substantially exhausted, the collar g<x> is moved forwards on the tongue and does not act upon the pin d. The lever m is not tilted, and its hooked end is engaged by a projection o on an arm n, which is loose on the shaft i and is rocked by a link p connected to the ordinary hammer lever q. The arm j is drawn forwards and rocks the shaft i, to actuate the shuttle-changing mechanism as described in the prior Specification. The pin d may be actuated by means other than the collar g<x>.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Printing Machines.
Inventor: CANT WILLIAM HOUSTON
Filed: 1906-08-11
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 18,035. Cant, W. H. Aug. 11. Rotary machines; late news, means for printing.- In a rotary printing-machine, means are provided for inserting the late or special news type into the special-news printing-cylinder while the machine is unning. The type-box is fitted in a special carrier l, Fig. 5, connected with a clutch or slide h, which can be brought into engagement with the printing- cylinder a, Fig. 2, and, when the clutch is in engagement, the type-box is automatically removed from the carrier and placed in the cylinder. Fig. 6 shows the type-box, comprising end plates m<1>, a spring clip m<2>, and a base with flanges m<4> for . engagement in grooves beneath overhanging pieces l<1>, Fig. 5, of the carrier and in grooves a<2>, Fig. 2, in the cylinder. The clutch h slides on the cylinder shaft g and is formed with the carrier l and a projection i, respectively, for engagement in a recess k and a slot j in the cylinder. The type-box is held in place in the carrier by means of a spring stop r, a spring gate q, and an upstanding arm n on a sliding and turning bar n<1>. The bar n<1> fits at one end in a hole o in the clutch h and is normally pressed outwards by a spring o<1>. A second arm n<2> is provided on the bar n<1> at right-angles to the arm n, and a spring n' normally holds the bar with the arm n vertical, the turning movement being prevented by the arm n<2> resting against a stud or the like or, as shown in Fig. 5, against the bottom of a recess p in the carrier. When the carrier enters almost fully into the recess k, the end of the cylinder engages the arm n<2> and forces the bar n<1> sideways until the arm n<2> enters a recess o<2>, and then the spring gate q forces back the arm n into a recess x, Fig. 2, and ejects the type-box into the grooves a<2>. The ejected type-box travels round in the grooves a<2> up to a spring stop s; return movement is prevented by springs t. The operation may be repeated until the grooves a<2> are full.

At the ends of the space enclosed between the platforms, one or more stationary or movable walls or platforms e may be arranged. The rollers g may be placed so as to obtain any desired inclination of the platform. The moving platforms prevent the accumulation of granulated material in certain parts of the chamber, and effect its removal in a continuous manner to a point where it may be hydrated or aÙrated and conveyed away for disposal as desired. The granulator is of any well-known form, and may consist of a drum a having a corrugated surface, with longitudinal slits through which an aqueous solution of salt is thrown by centrifugal force against the pellets of molten slag or other material. The molten material is fed to the granulator by a shoot f.
