Abstract: 21,073. Shillito, T. R., [Sõchsische Webstuhl Fabrik]. Sept. 22. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-The spools for use in automatic spool-c hanging looms are carried by the links b of an endless chain, which is guided by a frame a and driven by a toothed roller c. The spools fall one by one into a specially-formed portion of the frame a, ready for removal to the shuttle. When spoolchanging is to occur, the usual lever p presses the hook levers n, o into position to be raised by the knife-levers l, m. The spool-presser f takes up the full spool g and presses it into the shuttle, the empty spool being removed upwards in the usual manner. A laver t is drawn down against the action of a spring v and, on its return upwards, a ratchet tooth u<1> thereon turns the roller c and moves the chain one link farther, to bring the next full spool into position. Movement of the roller c, when the lever t is drawn down, is prevented by a spring brake.

Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 7244. Jones, H. Sefton-, [Sutherland, M. E.]. March 26. Sights.-Relates to wind-gauge leaf sights. (1) A peep-sight plate H, shown in detail in Figs. 7, 8, and 9, is mounted in a vertical dovetail groove e, Figs. 5 and 6, in the laterally adjustable sight-plate F, so that when desired it can be raised into the position of the open sight b without affecting the adjustment of the wind gauge. Vertical movement of the peep-sight is limited by a projection f, Fig. 9, which engages a slot g formed in the bottom of the dovetail groove c, and the plate H is maintained in the raised position by a spring h, Fig. 8, which engages a recess j. To use the sight as a bar sight, the plate H is raised until its top is level with the top of the sight-plate F, where it is retained by the engagement of the spring h and a recess x, Fig. 8. (2) To provide means for judging the nature of the sight taken, the distance between the peep-hole d and the top of the plate H is made equal to the distance between the rays of light from the eye to the centre and outside of the circular hood K Fig. 12, of the fore-sight. If the sight taken is too coarse, a line of light can be seen between the top of the plate H and the inside of the top of the hood K. (3) A clicking indicator is provided on the elevating-screw E, consisting of a spring plunger m, Fig. 11, which engages a series of recesses q formed on the underside of the milled head of the screw.

Title: Improvements in Pump Governors
Filed: 1907-10-23
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 23,412. Westinghouse Brake Co., [Westinghouse Air Brake Co.]. Oct. 23. Governing and controlling pumps. -In pump governors wherein a piston 8 opens or closes a switch in order to block or complete the circuit of the electric driving-motor, the piston is controlled by the pump pressure, and when it has commenced to move, an additional supply of fluid under pressure is admitted to its cylinder. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, a piston 17 with two heads 18, 19 working in chambers 16, 21 respectively moves a slide valve 20 with ports 28, 45. The heads are a loose fit in the valve-box or are provided with equalizing-ports. A diaphragm 22 is pressed on one side by an adjustable spring 24, and, when the switch is closed, is in communication with the valve-box through a passage 27, port 28, and passage 29. The valve-box is connected to a reservoir containing fluid under pressure by a pipe and passage 38. When the pressure rises, the diaphragm is deflected and, opening a valve 26, connects the chamber 16 to the atmosphere. Tne piston then moves the valve 20 and uncovers first a port 39, connected to a passage 40 closed by the end of the piston 8, and then a port 41 leading through a passage 42 to the underside of that piston. The latter moves slowly at first, but rapidly when the passage 40 is uncovered, and breaks the motor circuit. As the pressure falls, a second diaphragm 30 pressed by an adjustable spring 31 moves a valve 33 and connects the chamber 21 to the atmosphere through a passage 46, chamber 34, and opening 35. The piston 17 then moves back, closes the passage 46, and exhausts the underside of the piston 8 through the ports 41, 44. A spring 15 then moves the piston 8 and closes the motor circuit. In a modification, a diaphragm 50, Fig. 5, subjected to the pump pressure and to the pressure of an adjustable spring is directly connected to a slide valve which, when the pressure exceeds a certain amount, first connects the passage 40 and then the passage 42 to the valve-box, thus giving the piston 8 a rapid movement and opening the switch. On a fall of pressure the underside of the piston 8 is connected to the atmosphere through the ports 44, 45, and the switch is closed by the spring 15. In a second modification the piston 8 is subjected to the pump pressure on both sides, a diaphragm connecting the upper side to the atmosphere at maximum pressure and to the pump pressure when that pressure falls.

Title: Improvements in Continuous Current Machines.
Filed: 1908-05-27
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 11,517. Siemens-Schuckertwerke Ges. July 27, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Dynamos, regulating; field - magnets. - Continuous-current machines with reversing or commutating poles have double brushes arranged so that the potential difference between the brushhalves is used to energize the main poles, thus obtaining constant voltage at variable speed, or rendering the polarity independent of the direction of rotation. The machine, shown in Fig. 1, has main and auxiliary field windings e, h, which are constantly excited separately or in shunt with the brushes, and either of which may be dispensed with, and additional exciting-windings e1 are connected between the halves of the split brush. With this arrangement, the currents in the two parts of the winding e1 are unequal ; this may be obviated by dividing each part of the winding and each brush, and by connecting-up, as shown in Fig. 2. In multipolar machines the arrangement is simplified by shifting one of the brush-halves through approximately 9U degrees to equipotential points, thus requiring merely ordinary brushes. If the windings e, h are constantly excited, the machine gives a constant voltage at variable speed ; while for rendering the polarity independent of the direction of rotation, the winding e is dispensed with, and the winding h is constantly excited.
