Title: Improvements in Doffing Mechanism for Spinning Doubling and like Machines used in the Production of Yarns or Threads of Fibrous Substances.
Inventor: STELL ALFRED
Filed: 1907-09-28
Granted: 1908-09-28
Abstract: 21,541. Stell, A., and Stell, J. Sept. 28. Doffing-arrangements ; thread holding and severing arrangements.-Relates to means in cap and flyer frames for removing full bobbins from, and applying empty bobbins to, the spindles, and for breaking the threads extending between the full and empty bobbins. The caps, which are provided with ordinary notches or grooves b, are held by holders 3 which are advanced by a rack and pinion 6, and are retracted so as to allow the removal of the bobbin when the spindle has been lowered by the chain 15 attached to a shaft 16 operated by a handle. The bobbin-holding apparatus is carried by a frame 19, which is moved vertically by a rack and pinion 22 and arranged so that the bobbins are engaged at the bases and upper ends respectively by plates 28 and pins 29<a>, the latter entering the holes in the bobbins and being rotated about a shaft by a handle. The frame is lifted to remove the bobbins from the spindles and is lowered, when the slide 25 has been operated to position the bobbins above the spindles 33, so as to deposit the bobbins thereon, the bobbin holder then taking the empty bobbins from the spindles 34. The frame and slide are then operated in reverse order so as to place the empty bobbins upon the spindles, which are raised and engage with the caps, which are moved into position by their holders. A slotted bar 36 is rotated so that when the slide is moved towards the spindle each thread is gripped, as shown in Fig. 7, and is engaged by the slotted base of the wharl and broken when the machine is re-started. The base of the wharl carries two plates, one on each side, provided with slots inclined in opposite directions so as to form, in combination with the wharl base, a series of V- slots. The cap holder carries a guide 3<a> which leads the thread clear of the cap. When the devices are used with flyer frames, holders such as those shown in Fig. 11 are used to lay hold of the legs and the flyers are attached to the spindles so that they may be detached therefrom by a longitudinal movement. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that the cap holders are raised to remove the caps from the spindles ; the cap holders and spindle rails may be operated by screw-andnut devices; the peg rail carrying the dummy spindles is raised to receive the full bobbins, and is moved longitudinally to bring the empty bobbins in front of the bobbin carriers ; a thread wiper or carrier lays the threads so that the empty bobbins fall on them and so secure them ; and the bobbins are partly rotated so as to bring their notches into line with the driving-pins.

Filed: 1908-02-13
Granted: 1909-03-15
Abstract: 2830. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Feb. 13, 1908. Work-supports; loose-nailing. -Relates to work-support clamping-and-releasing mechanism of the type in which the releasing movement of the work-support is always the same, notwithstanding variations in thickness of the work, and consists in a toggle release mechanism and a ratchet locking-mechanism so arranged that the machine can be run at a very high speed. The work-support may be of any usual type, such, for instance, as that used on the machine described in Specification 3247/08, [Class 17, Boots &c.]. It is mounted on a sliding rod 94, Fig. 1, connected to one arm 96 of a toggle, the other arm of which is connected to a spring-pressed slide 100. The toggle is connected by an adjustable set of links 104, 106, 108 to a cam on the main shaft, and is straightened and broken at each revolution of the shaft. When the toggle is broken, two off-set pawls 116, Figs. 1 and 2, on the slide 100 engage teeth on a stationary ratchet plate 124 and lock the work-support, but when the toggle is straightened, the pawls are tripped by a finger 128, and the slide 100 is free to move against its spring, the height to which the jack rises being determined by the thickness of the work. The amount of breaking movement of the toggle is the same at each revolution of the shaft, so that the releasing movement of the work-support is the same for each feeding movement. The parts are arranged so that the machine comes to rest with the toggle straight, but a treadle 130 connected to the slide 100 is provided to enable the operator to lower the work-support for jacking or removing the work. The timing of the work-support actuating- mechanism is such that the releasing movement of the work commences before the awl has completed its work-penetrating stroke. The invention is particularly applicable to machines for inserting fasteners in boots and shoes.
