Patent GB-190525542-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Levers and Gothrough Lace Machines used in the Manufacture of Silk and Cotton Lace
Inventor: HICKTON CHARLES
Filed: 1905-12-08
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 25,542. Hickton, C. Dec. 8. Lace machines.-The working of the Levers and " go-through " types is modified by slowly traversing the bobbins in a predetermined sequence of movements, in order that equal amounts of yarn may be drawn off all the bobbins. The back comb-bar 1 is moved endways one or more gaits at a time by the action of the cam-pieces 9<a> of a lever 9 on adjustable stops 7, 8. The lever is rocked by a shaft 14 provided with two collars such as 15, each having a projection 22, which can be engaged by a pair of pawls such as 21, pivoted to loose plates such as 19. The latter can be rocked in opposite directions on the shaft 14 by suitable connexions with other moving parts of the machine. The pawls are lifted into work by means of a swinging frame 23, lifted by a jacquard cord 27. The frame lifts the pawls of one plate only into action at a time, but can be slid endways at long intervals, to bring the pawls of the other plate into action, by a jacquard-controlled pawl which acts on a ratchet having attached to it an edge cam. The movement of the bobbins relative to the comb-bar being thus reversed, the bobbins eventually arrive at the initial position. The lift of the jacquard is arranged to occur at a convenient time during the working of a complete pattern. A catch 37 for locking the lever 17 in the mid position is controlled by the same card as the frame 23 and withdrawn previously to the lifting of the latter.

Patent GB-190623520-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Furnaces for Heating Disc Wheels or the like.
Inventor: WIECKE ADOLF
Filed: 1906-10-23
Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 23,520. Wiecke, A. Oct. 23. Wheel-heating &c. furnaces.-In a continuouslyoperated gas furnace for heating the peripheral parts of wheels or like bodies while the middle parts are kept cool, the articles h are introduced into the top, and pass in a direction contrary to that of the hot gases, and are withdrawn at the lower end either laterally or with the aid of a movable bottom. Combustible gases enter an annular channel b, and pass through ports into a second annular channel c, where they mix with air preheated in the channels g. The mixture passes into the shaft a through outlets d, and the products of combustion escape through ports c into an annular channel f in communication with the chimney. The diameter of the opening i, through which the wheels are introduced, is only slightly greater than that of the wheels, so as to prevent the escape of the products of combustion or the entrance of cool air at this part. The wheels are guided laterally by vertical ribs m; and in order to support the remaining wheels when the lowest one is to be withdrawn, each wheel is separated from that next above by a plate k, having a rectangular slot of such dimensions that the hammer-like bend of a rod n can pass through it only when turned in one direction. The slots of successive plates are substantially at right-angles to each other so that the hammer-like head, having been drawn through one plate cannot pass directly through the next. The furnace bottom is provided with guidewheels which travel on ribs formed on the supporting-legp of the furnace. To keep the naves of the wheels cool, air is passed up the middle through openings q in the furnace bottom, and cylinders of fire-resisting material may be inserted between successive wheels.

Abstract: 24,348. Dulong, W. von. Oct. 31. Carburetting. - Air or gas is carburetted by causing it to pass through a series of comparatively thick plates provided with straight capillary passages to receive the carburet. ting-liquid, the plates and the passages therein being supplied with liquid by dipping or by irrigation. The length of the passages may be between 4 and 12 mm., and the diameter of the passages preferably does not exceed 2¢ mm. The total cross-section of the passages of a single element should not materially exceed that of the suction conduit of the motor. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the air is sucked in at e to a casing t containing a series of disks s, fixed to a rotatable shaft w and dipping into hydrocarbon s<2>, each disk being formed with straight perforations k. The carburetted air passes away at a. Rings provided with borings may be arranged between the disks s. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the disks s, having passages k as above, are fixed and are provided with annular interstices k<2> between each other, hydrocarbon being supplied from a chamber m<1>. In other modifications, the disks may be inclined ; or the single disks, Fig. 2, may be replaced by a helix ; or two systems of plates alternately reciprocated into and out of the liquid may be used, the disks of one system alternating with those of the other ; or rotating or stationary elements in the form of concentric rings having narrow annular spaces between them may be employed, and the successive slots through which the air has to pass may be staggered ; or the last arrangement may be replaced by a single worm-shaped element.

Abstract: 25,181. Weir, R. Nov. 8. Displaying and storing.-A wardrobe, suitable for displaying clothes, comprises a rack running on rollers immediately beneath the top of the cabinet and provided with a sliding extension frame running on rollers upon the rack, the extension frame being provided with arrangements for supporting coats on hooks. A rack g made up of Z-shaped iron is adapted to slide in and out of the cabinet upon rollers f fixed beneath the top. Carried by the rack g and adapted to slide thereon is a frameworkj made up of two side bars k, held together by the head l at the front and a coupling m at the opposite end. The extension framework carries a tube n, which supports the coat, as shown, and is secured to the front end l by the spindle that carries the handle t, the spindle being held by the nut r, Fig. 5, so that it has some vertical play. At the back the tube n is secured to the coupling m by a nut p, Fig. 6. The coupling carries also a transverse spindle u, upon which are mounted, between the runner h and the recessed runner k, friction rollers v. To withdraw the rack and its extension, the handle t is moved upwards so that the end of the bolt s engages a hole 3 in one ofthe cross-bars of the rack, and the rack and extension may then be drawn out togetheruntil the rack is stopped by a projection z, Fig. 4, upon a member x secured to the rack midway between the side rails, whereupon the extension may bedrawn out until stopped by other projections. A friction roller l, set in the upper face of the rear tie-bar i and running upon the underneath portion of the middle bar x, and friction rollers v set upon the flanges h &c. enable the extension frame to be drawn easily from the rack. The lower half of the cabinet is adapted to receive a rack for displaying trousers.

Abstract: 27,919. Dubied & Co., E. April 25, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Parallel knitting- machines.-The locks of Lamb machines are rendered rapidly adjustable for knitting either ordinary or tuck rib, plain tubular, or flat selvedged work, by mounting each of the cams 31,32, 33, 34, Figs. 1 and 32, on wings 66, which are pivoted on axes parallel to the needles, and mav be withdrawn therefrom by inclines 64 on slides 61. The upper cams 35, 36, 37, 38 are mounted on stalks 35<a>, and may be withdrawn either by hand, or by the withdrawal of the lower cams 31, 34 when the slides 61 are pushed in. Other inclines 68 operate to allow spring tongues 43, 44, 45, 46 to close the top needle passages. The normal arrangement, Fig. 1, of the cams is for flat rib work. By withdrawing the cams 35, 37, the arrangement for cardigan work is obtained, the cams knirting full loops on one bed and tuck loops on the other at each traverse. The cams 36, 38 guide the needles, which strike the inclined face and are sprung aside when travelling in the reverse direction. The cams 36, 37 may be removed from action to allow tuck loops to accumulate on the needles 49, the tuck loops being cleared when the cams are restored. One bank of needles may be rendered inactive by pushing in the corresponding slides 61 and withdrawing the cams, such as 31, 34, 35, 38, of one bed, while corresponding cams of both beds, such as 31, 33, 35, 37, are removed from action when it is desired to obtain tubular work.
