Title: Improvements in Fishing Reels
Inventor: MEDLEY GRANVILLE EUSTACE
Filed: 1901-02-23
Granted: 1901-04-27
Abstract: 3926. Medley, G. E. Feb. 23. Reels and winches, rod.-Relates to fishing-reels of the kind in which a line spool 14, Fig. 6, is used in connection with winding-springs 42 and a crank 35, arranged so that the spool can be actuated by hand, by the springs, or independently of both. The hub of the spool runs loose on a spindle 12, and carries a toothed wheel 18 adapted to engage a click spring on a slotted plate pivoted to the fixed casing and moved into and out of action by an eccentric pin on the stem of a button 22. The opposite end of the hub carries a ratchet-wheel 23 operated in one direction only by a tooth 26, Fig. 9 on a clutch ring 25 having another tooth 27 engaging a recess in a loose tooth pinion 29 operated by a toothed wheel 32, Fig. 4, rotated in one direction only by the engagement of a tooth 52 on a clutch ring 50, with internal teeth 53. A second tooth 54 engages a recess in a pinion 49 secured to the spindle of the operating-handle. The ring clutch 25 is held in place by an annular spring 30<1> engaging a lug 28. Motion may be imparted to the pinion 29 by the springs 42 through wheels 39, a pinion 41 on the spindle 12, a disc 44, and a toothed wheel 45. The rotation of this wheel 45 is normally checked by a pinion 56 connected by spring pawls 60 to a drum 58 having a spring friction detent 61 released by a tongue 62 on a spindle 63 carrying a thumb-piece 64. By reversing the motion of the handle 35, the springs will be wound up. The friction between the disc 44 and the wheel 45 is adjusted by a friction device 47, compressed in place by a nut 48, to prevent overwinding of the springs.

Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving certain Cross-bordered Fabrics
Inventor: BUTTERWORTH JOHN
Filed: 1901-03-29
Granted: 1902-03-20
Abstract: 6582. Butterworth, J., Dickinson, W., and Cowburn, J. March 29. Loom shedding-motions; take-up motions; changebox motions.-The shedding-tappets of looms for weaving certain cross-bordered fabrics are automatically controlled so that the shed may remain open for a given number of picks to allow the insertion of several picks of weft, when weaving "cord ends" as cross-borders. A longitudinallysliding boss 10, carrying the tappets 11, is formed with clutch teeth 13, 16, respectively engaging with teeth on a clutch 14 secured to the shaft 12, and the teeth of a fixed clutch 17. The boss is connected by means of a forked lever 7, link 6, bell-crank lever 3, and rod 2 to a disc 1, which is controlled from the indicating-chain 26 of an ordinary Eccles shuttle-box motion. When the boss 10 is moved so that the clutch 17 locks it, the tappets are stationary and the shed remains open. When a considerable length of plain weaving is required before the cord ends are inserted, the tappets are further controlled from a measuring-motion 19, of any ordinary kind. In this case, the pivoted lever 25 carrying the chain 26 has a stud 24, which engages with a catch 23 on a bell-crank lever 18, carrying a plate 29 adapted to be raised periodically by projections 27 on the measuring-chain 28. The lever 25 is actuated, except when held by the catch 23, by means of a cam 22. During the insertion of the cord ends, the catch 33 of the take-up ratchet-wheel 34 is disengaged by means of a lever 31 connected to the rod 2.

Granted: 1901-10-05
Abstract: 16,743. Miehle, R. Aug. 20. Set-off, preventing.-Relates to means for removing set-off ink from the impression cylinders. Fig.2 shows the apparatus applied to the second cylinder b of a perfecting-machine having the two cylinders a, b. The set-off is removed from the cylinder b by a roller c having a surface d of printers' roller composition or other material having an affinity for ink. The composition may be applied directly to the roller c, but is preferably placed on a backing e, the ends of which are att, ched to bars f, g fixed in a gap in the roller by springs h and tightening-arms i &c. With this latter arrangement, packing-sheets may be placed under the whole or any part of the backing e to raise the surface of the roller and to compensate for wear or shrinkage &c. The composition may be removed or omitted in parts where it is desired not to remove the set-off ink from the cylinder b. The roller c is geared to the cylinder b. The ink is removed from the roller c by transfer rollers m driven from the cylinder b and also having endways motion. The rollers m are cleaned by a wiping-web t of fabric moving in the opposite direction to the rollers. This web passes from a roll 3 round a guide-roller v, over parts of the rollers m, round a guide-roller w, to a winding-roller 4, which rests on the roller w. The shafts u, x are in open bearings, so that the rolls may be interchanged. The shafts u, x and roller ware preferably roughened to grip the web t. A slow motion is imparted to the web t by rotating the roller w from a reducing-gear at one end of the cylinder a. The wiper-web t may be pressed by suitable means, such as pivoted brushes 16, on to the rollers m. Two set-off removing mechanisms may be applied to the cylinder b acting in succession, or having pivoted frames operated by cams so that they act alternately.

Title: A Mechanical Device for Transmitting and Changing an Oscillating or Alternative Rectilineal Motion into a Continuous Rotary Movement.
Inventor: SANTA EMMANUEL AMEDEE DELLA
Filed: 1903-05-11
Granted: 1904-03-17
Abstract: 10,686. Della Santa, E. A. May 11. Driving-gear.-Apparatus for converting reciprocating into rotary motion is constructed by arranging one or more pairs of oppositely-acting cylinders so that the motions of their pistons produce tightening and slackening actions as well as a traversing action on a strap cable or chain wound round a pulley on the shaft to be driven. As shown in Fig. 1, the steam cylinder 1 has an annular piston 3 provided with a tubular piston-rod 4 the free end of which engages in a sleeve 5 on the piston 6 of the auxiliary or return cylinder 2. The small piston 7, in cylinder 1, is rigidly connected by rod 8 with piston 6. A pivoted link 9, connected at one end to piston 6, is connected at the other end to lever 10 which is pivoted in piston 4. The shorter end of lever 10 is attached to the strap &c. 13 which passes round pulley 16 on shaft 15 and is connected to piston-rod 4 at its other end. The motion of the pistons to the right tightens the strap 13 and drives the pulley 16, while on the motion to the left the strap is slackened and the pulley runs free as the pistons return to their initial positions. In a modified form, the two pistons 3, 2 are rigidly connected by a tubular piston-rod which contains a slightly shorter floating tube. The lever-10 is pivoted in the floating tube and has the outer end resting in a recess in the piston-rod. Part of the exhaust from cylinder 1 is employed to produce the return motion in cylinder 2. Icstead of a single pair of cylinders, a series may be employed, and they may be arranged as compound or triple-expansion cylinders driving one or more pulleys. A compound arrangement is described, in which the acting and return cylinders of the two engines are cross-connected and the two straps &c. act on a common pulley which communicates its motions to two pulleys on a common shaft 15. The motions of the pistons may be cushioned.

Title: Improved Mechanism Combined with the Wheel Hub of a Cycle, Motor Cycle or Motor-car for Braking and for Varying the Ratio of Speed Transmission.
Inventor: CHARRIER PIERRE AUSTREMOINE JE
Filed: 1903-08-14
Granted: 1904-06-23
Abstract: 17,664. Charrier, P. A. J., and Livache, E. E. Aug. 14. Brakes; driving- mechanism.- Relates to a hub brake and to a variable-speed driving-mechanism for motor and other cycles, and motor cars. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hub may be provided with the brake mechanism only. A trough-section ring f, g, h, the inner surface of which has inclines k, k<1>, k', is slotted for the passage of pins o, o<1>, o<2> connecting side cheeks m, n of a second ring. The first ring is prevented from rotating by an arm l, while the second has an arm carrying a pawl n', so arranged that when the chain is moved backwards by the pedals or other driving- device, the pawl engages with one of the chain pins, and the arm being thus turned backward, the second ring is turned relatively to the first so as to cause rollers p, p<1>, p' on the pins o, o<1>, o<2> to ride up the inclines, and thereby to press brake segment j, j<1>, j<2> against the case e. The braking action thus produced continues so long as the chain is held, but on re-commencing to drive, springs r, s return the rollers to the normal position. If desired, a cord operated by the rider may be used instead of the pawl, and three sets of springs may be provided. The variable-speed driving-mechanism, shown in Fig. 3, comprises a sliding pinion 4 adapted to engage with a toothed recess in a disc z, and with a fixed collar 7 on the axle. For fast or normal speed, the pinion is in the position shown, when the chain-wheel rotates the parts y, z, z<1>, carrying round the pinion. Planet-wheels 1, locked between the teeth of the pinion and those of the rim part z<1> of the disc, are also carried round as though in one therewith, and the axes being fixed to the wheel hub a, w, cause the corresponding rotation of the latter. To drive at slow speed, a chain 10 is pulled to bring the pinion out of engagement with the disc and into engagement with the stationary collar, the pinion, however, still remaining in gear with the planetwheels. On now rotating the chain-wheel, the planet-wheels will roll round on the stationary pinion and will consequently carry round the hub at a lower speed. A spring 9 returns the pinion to its normal position when the pull is released.
