Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 1069. Berry, J., and Meters, Ltd. Jan. 15. Gas distribution, varying pressure locally in. -Relates to a valve apparatus for automatically connecting a gas main to a low- or highpressure gas supply according to the pressure in the high-pressure supply-pipe. As shown in Fig. 1, b is the high-pressure inlet, and c the low-pressure inlet, a being the exit to the main. The two inlets are controlled by valves d, e connected to a diaphragm g. When the inlet pressure is high, the valve d is opened, and the valve e closed. A fall of pressure in the pipe b causes the valve d to close and the valve e to open, thus bringing the gas main into communication with the source of low-pressure gas. A valve m allows any excess of gas in the inlet b to return to the low - pressure gas - holder through the pipe c.

Patent GB-191012372-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Speed Indicators for Rotary Shafts.
Inventor: KORTE CHRISTIAN
IPC: G01P3/04
Filed: 1910-11-21
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 12,372. Korte, C. Nov. 21. Differential speed indicators.-In instruments of the type comprising a uniformly driven screw and a nut rotated by the shaft of which the speed is to be indicated, the axial movement of the nut being utilized to vary its own rotation and to actuate the indicator, the variation is effected by altering the throw of a crank. The screwed shaft 2<b> is driven from the primary shaft 6d through a friction box 6, and its speed is regulated by a clock-work and escapement 14; the nut is in the form of a toothed wheel 22<a> in mesh with a wide pinion 23 on a shaft 21 driven from the shaft 6<d> through a shaft 11, an adjustable crank-pin 11<b>, a connecting-rod 20<a>, and a wheel 20. This crank-pin is slidably mounted in a wheel 11<a>, and is connected to levers 22<h> terminating in rollers 22<a> engaging with slotted arms 22<f> moved by connexion with the nut-wheel 22<a>, the slots in the arms 22<f> being of such a shape that the crank-pin is shifted proportionately more rapidly at the lower speeds, so that the scale divisions may be equal. The connecting-rod 20<a> is attached to a ring 20<b> provided with friction ratchet devices to drive the wheel 20. In order that the drive may be continuous, a second similarly-equipped ring 20<c> is oppositely rotated from the ring 20<b> by linkage connexion 20<d>, 20<f>, 20<m>. Fig. 11 represents a second method of rotating the wheel 20, the crank-pin being connected with the arms 31, carrying friction pawls by connecting-rods 30<b>, 30<c>, and the link-and-lever arrangements 30<a>, 32, 33<a>, 33<b>. In a modification, end thrust upon the shaft 2<b> may be obviated by providing it with right and lefthanded screws engaged by separate nut-wheels connected up so as to have the same effect on the crank-pin. The intermittent movements of the shaft due to the escapement may be rendered continuous by interposing a coiled spring in the drive. The friction box 6 contains two series of alternating disks, one set keyed to the shaft and the other secured to the box, the disks being pressed together by an adjustable spring, and preferably perforated or grooved to facilitate lubrication by oil, plumbago, &c. The speed may be recorded by mounting above the indicator a record drum rotated by the primary shaft and employing a marker raised and lowered in accordance with the variations in speed.

Patent GB-191101361-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Thread Button and a Process and Apparatus for its Manufacture.
IPC: B65H81/02
Filed: 1911-01-18
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 1361. Haspel, F., and Salcher & Sohne, M. Jan. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Button-covering m a c h i n e s. - In making buttons by covering ring blanks with thread, adjacent threads are caused to cross one another within the end planes of the ring. Fig. 13 shows in crosssection a ring covered by a thread which is secured to the ring by single - thread lockstitches: the thread from one stitch passes up through the ring and over the top face of the ring to join the next stitch. The straight threads may be arranged in radial directions or in groups of parallel threads as shown in Fig. 16<1>. In the sewing-machine a ring blank is held between a pair of rollers 7 and a pair of rollers 6. The latter pair are mounted on a slide 24 and can be moved away from the rollers 7. The rollers are driven through toothed gearing by disks 13, 14 which are driven by frictional engagement with a rack 15. The rack is driven by a toothed segment 18 and is mounted together with the latter upon a slide 4. The rollers 7 and the slide 24 carrying the rollers 6 are mounted upon a slide 3 which can be reciprocated by steps 29 on a ratchet-driven disk 28. For stitching radiallydisposed threads, the slide 3 is kept stationary; for stitching groups of parallel threads, either the rotational movements given to the rollers 6, 7 are varied, or their effect is modified by endlong movements of the slide 3. In one form of stitching-mechanism, a hook-needle draws a loop of the shuttle thread up through the centre of the ring and passes it on to an oscillating looper, which carries it round the outside of the ring and spreads it for the shuttle to pass through. In a second form, shown in Fig. 17, the hookneedle 41 is carried by an arm 39 pivoted to a lever 42. A spring surrounding the joint pin resists movement of the arm relative to the lever 42. A lever 47 depresses the hook-needle in opposition to the spring and then releases it. The needle rises with a loop of shuttle thread and, as the arm 42 is rotated, carries the loop round the ring into the path of the shuttle 37. A rotary or an oscillating shuttle may be substituted for the shuttle 37, and a loop spreader reciprocating beneath the work plate may be provided. Instead of rotating a ring through large angles to bring opposite parts alternately to the stitching point, the hook needles such as 41 may co-operate with a double pointed oscillating shuttle. In place of a shuttle, a single or double acting lock-stitch hook mechanism may be used.

Title: Improvements appertaining to Looms having Change Shuttle Boxes.
Inventor: SMITH ALFRED
IPC: D03D43/00
Filed: 1911-02-07
Granted: 1912-02-07
Abstract: 3059. Smith, A., and Perks, T. Feb. 7. Change-box motions.-In looms having at one end only a change-box comprising two compartments that rise and fall continuously, and having shedding - mechanism of which the pattern surface has to be reversed to find broken picks &c., a handle a is employed whereby the actions of the dobby pattern surface and the compartments of the change-box may be relatively adjusted. The handle a is connected to a lever c carried on a shaft b and connected to a slotted rod t engaging a pin u<1> on a lever u, v, which controls the direction of motion of the dobby pattern cylinder. The shaft b carries an arm d provided with a pin engaging the slotted arm of a lever f, h, which is connected by a rod k to a lever m employed for moving the usual partly-toothed wheel n into and out of the path of a toothed crank-wheel in connexion with the change-box motion, whereby this may be thrown out of action. When it is necessary to lag back to find a broken pick, one of the shuttles is taken away from the loom, and the handle a is moved from the position shown to a position wherein its notch 5 engages the holding-device 2. The lever u is thus operated to cause reversal of the dobby pattern-cylinder driving-mechanism, and the lever h causes the change-box motion to be put out of action. After the broken pick has been found, the handle is moved into a position wherein the notch 4 engages the holding-device 2, the change-box motion still remaining out of gear, but the handle a moves the lever u and causes the dobby pattern cylinder to be moved forwards when the loom is driven for a few picks. After the dobby pattern surface has resumed its proper position, the removed shuttle is reinstated, and the handle a is placed with its notch 3 on the holding-device 2, so that the change-box motion is again placed in action, and the loom then continues to work normally.
