Title: Improvements in Warp Stop Motions of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: SMITH EDWARD
IPC: D03D51/20
Filed: 1910-03-23
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 7253. Smith, E., and Smith, H. March 23. Stop-motions, warp. - Looms are automatically stopped on the breakage of a warp thread by means of a pneumatic device controlled by the displacement of a detector, which may be of ordinary form, or shaped with four legs so as to be supported by two or four warp threads. When a detector 5, Fig. 2, falls, it prevents the reciprocation of the lath 11, Fig. 3, carried by a rocking bar 7, on which is mounted an aircompressor 8 connected by a rod 9 with one of the lay - swords. The compressor and its piston then oscillate on pins P, the oscillation forcing the piston 8<A> downwards to force air through the pipe 12 and raise the movable cylinder 16, Fig. 6, on its stationary piston, until a spring- controlled lever 17 engages a notch in it. The cylinder is carried by a frame 14 attached to the loom starting-handle 15, and the raised cylinder is engaged by an arm on the lay to knock off the loom. As the handle moves, an arm 21 moving over the frame 22 actuates the lever 23 to remove the lever 7 from engagement with its notch, and the cylinder 16 is thereby allowed to fall. The compressor 8 may be replaced by a vessel of compressed air, controlled by a valve comprising a grooved collar 27, Fig. 8, fixed on the rod 7, and a sleeve 26 connected to one of the lay-swords. When a detector falls, the motion of the rod 7 is prevented and the cam-surfaces 29 cause the sleeve 26 to be moved, so that communication is established between the pipes 30, 31.

Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 24,636. Whitney, F. H. Oct. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure; indicators, applications of.-In automatic fluid-pressure brakes, indication of leakage from the brake pipe which is insufficient to move the triple valve to application position is obtained by causing such leakage to operate a valve device, whereby the brake-pipe is vented a predetermined amount so as to apply the brakes or actuate a signal. The brake-pipe is connected by pipes 6, 10 to valve chambers 2, 8 provided with valves 3, 9, which areoperated by pistons 5, 12 acted on by springs 7, 14. Under normal conditions, the valves are in the positions shown, but when the brake-pipe pressure is reduced by leakage to a certain amount, the valve 3 is moved by the spring 7 to connect ports 16, 17, whereby the brake-pipe is vented by the ports 18, 17, 16 either to atmosphere or to a signal. When a predetermined amount of venting has occurred, the valve 9 is closed by the spring 14 to prevent further venting. In this position of the valve 9, the piston 12 bears against a seating 13 and presents a reduced area to the brake-pipe pres sure, so that, when the brake-pipe is recharged for releasing, the piston 5 is operated before the piston 12, thus ensuring that the valve 3 is moved to cut off communication between the ports 16, 17 before the brake-pipe is opened to the port 17 through the valve 9. The device may be prevented from being operated when the brake-pipe pressure is reduced in the usual way for applying the brakes, by means of a third piston 21 connected with the valve 3 and arranged to communicate by a port 23 with the brake cylinder.

Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 12,157. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. May 19. Zinc formaldehyde sulphoxylate.-Mono-zinc formaldehyde sulphoxylate of the formula is obtained in crystalline form by evaporating a solution of the salt, preferably under reduced pressure and bringing it, when saturated, into contact with a crystal of the salt. The crystals are produced initially by stirring a very concentrated solution of zinc formaldehyde hyposulphite with alcohol. When the manufacture has been started, crystals floating in the air or from different parts of the apparatus are often sufficient to cause crystallization. The crystals are washed with alcohol and dried in vacuo, and are free from water of crystallization. By dissolving this salt under specified conditions, crystals containing either four or three molecules of water of crystallization are obtained. In carrying out the invention, the solution employed may be pure or may contain other salts. For instance, a solution of zinc formaldehyde hyposulphite may be evaporated, yielding crystals of the formaldehyde sulphoxylate and a solution of zinc formaldehyde bisulphite. Or solutions obtained by dissolving the di - zinc salt ZnSO2.CH2O in water and adding enough acid to produce the mono-zinc salt may be used. Or mono - sodium formaldehyde sulphoxylate may be treated with a zinc salt, and, upon evaporation, the sodium sulphate or chloride is precipitated first, or left in solution, respectively, and crystals of mono-zinc formaldehyde sulphoxylate are obtained.
