Title: New or Improved Pneumatic or Air Pressure Actuated Filling Detector Mechanism for Automatic Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1909-11-06
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 25,606. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Nov. 6. Weft-replenishing mechanism. - In a loom having automatic weft-replenishing mechanism, the weft-feeler is actuated pneumatically. When the shuttle enters the shuttle box, it presses aside a piece 9<1>, and thus expands an air-bellows 8, which sucks air from another bellows 7 arranged to draw the feeler 16 into an opening in the side of the shuttle. When the weft is substantially exhausted, the feeler 16 moves into the shuttle far enough to turn a catch 20 and disengage a spring-pressed lever 21, the end 25 of which sets into operation the weft-replenishing mechanism. Fig. 6 shows a modified arrangement of weft-feeler, in which a toothed part 37 turns relatively to a toothed part 351 when the weft is substantially exhausted. This relative movement allows a plate 33, carried by the bellows 7, to turn farther than it otherwise would, and this allows the plate 33 to actuate the weft-replenishing mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Centrifugal Ore Separators.
Inventor: PECK PHILIP FERDINAND
Filed: 1911-03-29
Granted: 1912-03-29
Abstract: 7893. Peck, P. F. March 29. Separators for granular and pulverulent bodies. - Relates to centrifugal separators for pulverized ores of the type in which an inner differentially rotating drum having an expansible and contractible washing-element on its surface is provided. The outer drum 2 has a depositing-surface 10, and is mounted on a shaft 4 having a driving-pulley 4<1>. The inner drum 20 is mounted on a sleeve 23 driven independently by a pulley 26, and has an expansible member 34 secured to its periphery by clamps 35, 36, Fig. 3. This member 34 is composed of layers of rubber and canvas reinforced by steel strips 39, and contains chambers 37 separated by an annular bridge - piece 40. The member is distended by the pressure set up by centrifugal force in water introduced into troughs 43 which communicate with the chambers 37. The water is introduced by fixed pipes 46, 46<1>, and is removed by scoop-pipes 49, 50. In order to obtain uniform distension of the part 34 throughout its axial length, it is made stronger at its upper end by introducing extra layers of canvas. Fluid leaking into the space between the members 20, 34 is removed by holes 69 and a fixed scoop 68. In operation, the material to be concentrated is fed by pipes 30, 29 to a space 28, whence it passes by openings 23 into a space 25 and then into the separating space 19. At the beginning of the concentration, the troughs 43 contain sufficient water to distend fully the member 34, which exerts a scouring or washing action on the concentrate. The finer particles pass away with the liquid through nozzles 16 into the launder 17. As the laver of concentrate on the surface 10 increases, the space 19 is gradually widened by contracting the member 34. This is effected automatically by removing water from the troughs 43. To this end the pipe 48 carrying the scoops 49, 50 is rotatably mounted in a bracket 51, and is moved by a cam driven by belt-and-worm gearing from a pulley 64. On the concentrate deposit reaching the desired thickness, the supply of pulp is stopped, and clean water is introduced through the pipes 31, 29 to discharge the concentrate, the speed of the vessel being reduced. During this operation, the scoops 49, 50 are moved automatically so that the member 34 expands gradually and dislodges the concentrate.
