Travelling - band type.-A machine for washing feathers, plumes, and other articles comprises, essentially, an endless moving belt, the lower portion of which dips into a vat, to the face of which belt the articles are attached, and of one or more washing-rollers which rotate in contact with this face and are reciprocated axially. The belt 8 is carried by four rollers, two 7 above, and two 6 below the surface of the liquid in the vat 1. One of the upper rollers 7 is driven and the other is provided with adjusting - screws 36 which enable the tension of the belt 8 to be regulated. Feathers are attached to the belt by tying their ends to lengths of string &c. at intervals 'thereof, bunching them together, with each string formed into one or more loops, arranging the bunches with the strings above holes 10 in the belt, and finally securing the loops by passing down through them, and the holes; loops 12 of cords 11 laid longitudinally on the belt, these loops 12 being secured by rods 13 passed through them and extending transversely across the underside of the belt 8. The washing rollers 16, 17, 18, which are axially reciprocated by means of eccentric and lever gear 30, 35, 32, 26, are preferably reciprocated, each alternate one in an opposite direction, and are also spirally wrapped with rope so as to have a corrugated rubbing surface. Vertically adjustable rollers 21 are placed beneath the upper stretch of the apron 8, between the washing- rollers, their upper tangent plane being slightly above the lower tangent plane of the upper rollers 16, 17, 18. To bring back on to the belt 8 the free ends of any of the bunches of feathers that may have worked over the edge, one or more guards may be provided, for example a pair of arms 37 pivoted at 38 a short distance from the top of the belt so that their free ends rest on the belt near the edges thereof. Perforated pipes may be arranged for feeding washing-liquid, preferably hot water, on to the bunches of feathers just after they have passed one or more of the adjacent washing-rollers 16, 17, 18.

Inventor: OLSEN FREDERIK JOHANNES
IPC: B62M11/14
Filed: 1911-11-17
Granted: 1912-11-18
Abstract: 25,679. Olsen, F. J. Nov. 17. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing.-In a variablespeed sun-and-planet gear for bicycles, a friction member n rotating with the sprocket-wheel is adapted to be axially displaced to be brought into, and to be removed from, engagement with a sleeve h, which is mounted upon a fixed screw-thread b and arranged to engage the sun-wheel g. The friction member is carried by a part m, which is rotatably connected by projections z and slots y to the driving-sleeve and planet-pinion carrier d. For the high gear, the sun-pinion is clutched to the axle by the sleeve h as shown in Fig. 1; on holding the sprocket-wheel stationary, as in free-wheeling, the rotation of the hub causes the sun-wheel to turn backwards and the sleeve h to separate therefrom, but, when the drive is resumed, the rotation of the friction member returns the sleeve to its operative position. To change the gear, the sprocket-wheel is held stationary, and a central rod r is then actuated to press the part m to the left so that the sleeve h is clear of the spring ring n. Under the action of a spring i the sleeve h is carried to the left until it abuts against a collar k, and as the sun-wheel is then quite free the drive is transmitted directly from the sleeve d and part m to the hub through the clutch 6, Fig. 3. A spring s returns the part m to its right-hand position as soon as the rod r is released. At its left-hand end the part m is in the form of jaws 9, between which engage the inwardly-projecting portions 7 of the double pawl-like members p pivoted upon the ballbearing part 2, so that, for the drive on the low gear, the cam surfaces 6 engage the hub, and, on back-pedalling, cam surfaces 5 press out an anchored brake ring f into contact with the hub.
