Title: Improvements in Range-finders and the like.
Filed: 1910-06-28
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 15,541. Optische Anstalt C. P. Goerz Akt.-Ges. July 24,1909, [Convention date]. Range-finders.-Relates to an instrument for ascertaining an inaccessible side and an adjacent angle in a triangle of which two sides and the angle contained thereby are known or measurable, the instrument comprising two adjustable rules adapted to represent the known sides. and a third adjustable rule which represents the inaccessible side. One rule 1 forms part of a frame 3 rotatable about the main pivot 4 of the instrument, which is mounted on a support by means of a socket 5. The second rule 2 is fixed to the pivot 4, and carries an anglemeasuring device comprising a slide 8, a graduated arc 7, and a rotatable part 9 carrying the third rule 10. The slide 8 is actuated by means of a screw 17 provided with a graduated drum 19. In using the instrument, the rule 1 is adjusted parallel to the rule 2, and the pivot of the angle-measuring device is positioned coaxially with the main pivot 4 of the instrument. A sighting-device 20 on the rule 1 is then trained on one of the distant angles of the triangle, thereupon the instrument is fixed by clamping the socket 5 to the support. The frame 3 with the rule 1 is then rotated about the pivot 4 by means of a screw 24 until the other angle is sighted. The slide 8 and a slide 21 are moved along the rules 2, 1 respectively through distances proportional to the distances of the sighted points from the place of observation, and the part 9 with the rule 10 is rotated by means of a screw 11 until a longitudinal line on the rule 10 intersects the axis of an index 22 on the slide 21. This index then indicates on the rule 10 the length of the unknown side of the triangle, while the rotation of the part 9 gives the magnitude of required angle, which is read off on the graduated arc 7. In a modification the screw connexion 24 between the frame 3 and the pivot 4 is dispensed with, and the rule 1 is coupled to the rule 10 by the adjustable slide 21, so that the sighting-device is automatically trained on the distant object by actuation of the angle-measuring device.

Abstract: 30,119. Farmer, C. Dec. 28 Embroidery machines.-The needle-threads of an embroidery machine are separately controlled, each being provided with a series of pins or the like, around which the thread passes, the pins being mounted on a jointed frame which is moved to effect the control. The threads A pass from the spools to ordinary tensions B and then around pins C<1> ... C<7> arranged in two rows on a series of bars G<1> ... G<7> which are movable towards or away from one another on the lazy-tongs principle. The bars are actuated by frames consisting of links H<1>, H<2>, H<3>, H<4> with cross-links H<5>, H<6>, connected at the joints J, J<1> to bell-crank levers K, M, the arms K<1>, M<1> of which are connected to cam or otherwise suitably actuated bars N, N<1>. The bars G<1> .... G<7> are connected to the frames at points J, J<2>, J<6>, J<7>, J<8>, J<9> and J<1> respectively. When the work is fed forward to make a stitch, the bars N<1> are actuated to move pins C<2> ... C<@> away from the needles D. As the distance between the pins is constant, slack loops are produced between the pins C<7> and the tensions B, thus allowing sufficient thread to be drawn over the pins without drawing from the tensions. The pins are then returned to normal position, when they draw the same lengths from the tensions. In making the stitch, the bar N is actuated, the pins C<7> remaining stationary and the others first moving towards the needles to form loops for the shuttles to pass through, and then returning to draw up and tighten the stitches. A device comprising, for example, oscillating bars may be provided between the tension and the pins for feeding thread from the former to the latter; the frames may be arranged vertically, and the pins or the like horizontally.
