Title: Improvements in Shuttle Feeler and Thread Cutting Mechanism for Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D49/70
Filed: 1910-03-08
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 5769. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. March 8. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically; weft, cutting.-The shuttle feeler 34 is pivoted above and to the rear of the forward position of the lay on a stud 33 on a stand 11<2> and is connected by lever mechanism to a shaft 16, which is also connected by lever mechanism and a spring locking-device to a rod 24 provided with a recessed plate 25 guided by a stud 26. When the shaft 16 is rocked by the downward movement of a bar provided with a hook which engages a lever, the plate 25 is raised and a projection 25<2> thereon raises the dagger 7 into the path of the lay bunter. Simultaneously the shuttle feeler is swung downwards into active position, and if the shuttle is correctly positioned the replenishment is effected, a cam-shaped or curved end on the feeler engaging the rear wall 4 of the shuttle box on the continued forward movement of the lay, whereby the feeler is swung into its raised and inoperative position. A hook 35 loosely pivoted on .the feeler catches the weft end from the substantially exhausted bobbin and carries it into engagement with a cutting - blade 37 mounted on a stationary arm 38 whereby the weft end is cut. If the shuttle is incorrectly positioned, it engages the curved or cam-shaped end of the feeler 34 and swings it upwards into inoperative position, thus rocking the shaft 16 so that the plate 25 is lowered and the dagger 7 drops into inoperative position. Instead of a stationary cutting-blade, one or two movable .blades may be used.

Inventor: CROSS FRANK LEONARD
IPC: G05D7/01
Filed: 1910-10-25
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 24,754. Cross, F. L. Oct. 25. Pressure-regulating valves.-Relates to a gasregulator for obtaining a constant volume of flow, in which the control is effected by the velocities of flow at two different points in the conduit acting on the diaphragm of an auxiliary valve. The throttling-valve 3, Fig. 1, is operated by a bell 4, to which gas is admitted from the conduit 1 through a pipe 6. This pipe has a funnel-shaped mouth 7 disposed at the inlet to the Venturi tube 1, 2, and turned to face the incoming fluid, and is connected to an auxiliary valve 16. The diaphragm 10, or its equivalent, is subject on the underside to the pressure at 7, and on the upper side to the pressure of an adjustable spring 17 and the pressure at the neck 2 of the Venturi tube conveyed by a pipe 12 having its mouth 13 turned in the direction of flow. A three-way cock 19 in the pipe 6 is normally open, but is operatively connected to a gate-valve 20 so as to be shut off when the latter valve is closed. The Venturi tube 1, 2 may be dispensed with, the Venturi ' tube effect ' being produced by incidental reductions in the size of the main, or by turns or elbows therein being utilized.

IPC: F16K31/12
Filed: 1910-12-06
Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 28,376. Nutter, E. H., and Minerals Separation, Ltd. Dec. 6. Diaphragm valves. - A valve for controlling the flow of thick pulpy material is formed by a hollow chamber E covered with a diaphragm F of india-rubber or other elastic material, which presses against the orifice at the bottom of the pipe B, through which the flow is to be controlled, and on the other side is connected to a conduit or receptacle, in which any desired head of liquid is maintained. The arrangement is shown as applied for the discharge of pulp from a settling-tank A. The chamber E is connected by the pipe G<1> to the tank A so that the pressure on either side of the diaphragm F is due to the same liquid height. The outlet is normally closed, the area of the orifice being less than the effective area of pressure on the underside of the diaphragm or a spring being provided. The outlet is opened when accumulation of the settled matter increases the pressure on the top of the diaphragm sufficiently to push the diaphragm down. The pulp is discharged to a launder D. Brackets J support the device. The chamber E can be provided with a telescope joint H or a screw by means of which its position relative to the valve seat can be adjusted. When an intermittent discharge is desired, the pressure below the diaphragm can be made to vary by reciprocating a piston in a chamber communicating with the chamber E.
