Patent GB-190014078-A (GB)
Title: Means for Automatically Changing Bobbins or other Weft Holders in Loom Shuttles when the Weft is Exhausted.
Inventor: BAKER WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1900-08-07
Granted: 1901-03-23
Abstract: 14,078. Baker, W. H., and Kip, F. E. Aug.7. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in automatically.-In double-shuttle looms, in which two shuttles i are picked simultaneously through the sheds, either or both of the bobbins or bobbin cases are automatically changed when the weft is exhausted. The full bobbins or other weft-holders n are mounted by spring clips m, Fig. 3, on a pair of endless chains l passing over sprocket-wheels k, k<1>. These wheels are rotated intermittently to move the weft-holders successively up to a rocking detent t by means of a spring, which is situated between the pulley r and the boss of the wheel k, and is wound up by a slip belt p passing over the pulley r and the crank shaft. When the weft is exhausted in either shuttle, the adjacent weftholder is driven from its clip into the shuttle by one of the transferring-levers or v<1> on the shaft w, and the chains are moved on by the spring to the extent of one or two links as determined by the detent. The chains are kept in line at the delivery point by fixed guides 22, and the weft ends are attached to a holder on the central shaft, which is mounted in the bracket j and is driven by a belt 20 from the pulley 19. The shuttle boxes g, g<1> have a swell h on the top, and the bobbins are provided with spring indicators, such as 12, Fig. 7, and 12<1>, Fig. 10, which on the exhaustion of the weft either establish a circuit through one of the electromagnets z' and so cause the corresponding arm y<1> to engage with the fixed dagger x on the lay sword or act upon an oscillating feeler 35 and so cause an oscillating dagger to engage with the arm y<1>. In either case, the actuation of the arm y<1> causes the transferring-lever to insert a fresh weft-holder. The electrical controlling-devices may be the same as in Specification No. 14,079, A.D. 1900. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the metal bobbin case n is in two sections, telescoping together and insulated from each other at 2, and it is held in the shuttle i by spring jaws 3. The metal spindle 4 has a spring washer 6 electrically connected to a plate 7, and at the other end the spring. jaws are electrically connected to a plate 7<a>. The bobbin o has a metal ring 10 in contact with the washer 6 and carrying a spring 11 for pressing the indicator 12, when the weft is exhausted, against the ring 13, which is in contact with a spring blade 14. The spring feeler 35, Fig. 10, is oscillated after each beat-up by a lever 32 and an arm 31 on a rocking shaft 30 or 30<a>. When the indicator 12<1> is protruded, the feeler is checked and the corresponding dagger is caused to actuate the proper transferring-lever for changing the weftholder.

Patent GB-190106003-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Railway Coupling Apparatus.
Inventor: JONES WILLIAM RICHARD SUMPTION
Filed: 1901-03-21
Granted: 1902-06-21
Abstract: 6003. Jones, W. R. S. March 21. Couplings, automatic and non-automatic.-Fig. 1 shows the parts set for automatic coupling. The outer link d of the chain b, c, d is jointed to a frame or carrier g having brackets g<1> which receive the lifting-crank i carried by the cross-shaft h having arms h<1> fitted between lugs 11, 12 on lifting-devices 7 acting in conjunction with guided stops 8 pivoted to the backs of the buffer heads. The carrier g is also jointed to a rod o, which slides through a pin p mounted in an arm n fixed to a loose sleeve k on the cross-shaft m having weighted end arms 3, and, when these arms are in the position shown in Fig. 1, the pawl 5 is held out of engagement with the ratchet 6 by a cam m<1> on the shaft m. The parts are set for coupling by the loose levers 13 having projections 13<a>, which abut against the adjacent arms h<1>. When two vehicles are brought together, the stops 8 push back the arms h<1>, which, acting on the projection 11, turn the devices 7, so that the lugs 12 lift the stops, and the parts h<1>, h, i, g are released, allowing the link d to fall and automatically engage the adjacent hook e. The parts may be automatically uncoupled, and in this case the arms 3 are placed in the position 3<a>, Fig. 5. with the pawl 5 engaging the ratchet-wheel 6. When the coupling-chain is slackened, the arms 3 fall successively into the position shown by the lines 3<b>, 3<c>, and, acting on the lower ends of the carrier g by means of the parts h, k, n, o, first cause the link d to rise over the point of the hook e, after which the carrier g turns on the crank i, and the rod o slides until the stop o<2> strikes the pin p and the cam m<1> trips the pawl 5, and the parts fall back by gravity into the inoperative position above their own drawhook. For non-automatic coupling, the arms 3 are placed in the forward position, and one of the levers 13 is turned to lift the link d off the hook e, and the carrier g then turns on the crank i until it has passed slightly beyond its vertical position, when it falls forwards by gravity with the coupling- links over the draw-hook of the adjacent vehicle. Non-automatic uncoupling is effected by turning the arms 3 into their rear positions at 3<a>, and the crank i is raised by hand first to cause the carrier g to raise the link clear of the hook and then return it backwards to its inoperative position. In modifications, the link d is carried by a cradle pivoted to the carrier, and the stops 8 have wedgelike portions, the action of which causes the arms h<1> to be released after a short movement of the buffer head.

Title: Improvements in or appertaining to Apparatus for Lubricating the Moving Parts of Machinery.
Inventor: WALCH GUSTAV
Filed: 1901-04-01
Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 6802. Walch, G. April 1. Lubricators.-A lubricator for the moving parts of machinery consists of a grease container b, which is screwed to a, conical piece, mounted on the part to be lubricated, and provided with a piston a operated by a screw c for feeding the grease. The mechanism for operating the screw is located over the container, and is enclosed by a cover and a casing of glass or celluloid. The mechanism consists of a hammer-shaped pendulum m, which is pivoted at o and oscillated by the motion of the part to which the lubricator is attached. The backward motion of the pendulum is transmitted by a spring l, adjustable by means of a screw q, to a ratchet-wheel k, backward rotation of the wheel being prevented by means of a spring m. The springs l and m may be replaced by spring-controlled pawls. The motion of the wheel k is transmitted through a train of wheels to the screw c. A rod t, secured to the piston and passing through a cap on the cover, serves to prevent rotation of the piston and acts as a gauge for indicating the quantity of grease in the container. In order to raise the piston, when the container is to be re-filled, the spindle e<1> is raised against the action of the spring f<1>, thereby disconnecting the pinion f from the train of wheels. The wide pinion e remains in gear with the wheel d secured to the screw, and by turning the spindle e<1>, through a handle s, the piston may be raised.

Title: Improvements in Steam Cultivators.
Inventor: MARTIN WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1901-12-03
Granted: 1902-11-06
Abstract: 24,623. Martin, W. E., and Gurney, W. H. Dec. 3. Cultivators.-Relates to cultivators for use in a system of steam cultivation by means of two hauling-ropes which draw the implement to and fro across the field. Reference is made to Specification No. 25,031, A.D. 1898. The implement comprises a main frame a supported on the two main wheels b and on a front steering-wheel operated by chains from the hand-wheel m, and a lower tool frame formed in three parts hinged together and suspended from the main frame a. The central portion d of the tool frame is suspended by chains passing over pulleys and connected to levers on the main axle in such a way that any rocking of the main axle causes the tool frames to be raised out of the giound. The side portions d<1>, d<2> of the tool frame, besides being hinged to the central portion d, are supported by wheels f on cranked axles f<1>. The inner cranked ends of the axles f<1> are connected by links to arms on the main axle, which, when rocked to raise the central portion d of the tool frame, also operates the axles f<1>, and thereby raises the portions d<1>, d<2>. The abovementioned links are provided with universal joints, so that they offer no obstacle to the folding of the side portions d<1>, d<2> on the top of the central portion d. The portions d<1>, d<2> are each provided with guide-rails h for the rope, such as g', which for the time is the trailing-rope. The ropes g, g<1> are attached to eyes a<8> capable of sliding on bars, such as a<60>, pivoted to the ends of arms a<3>, a<4> secured to a ring a<2> capable of turning freely on a turntable a'. The bars, such as a<60>, are connected together and to the arms a<3>, a' by means of links, in such a way that they are held vertical when the rope connected to them is the hauling-rope, and horizontal when the rope becomes the trailing-rope. The ring a<2> is provided with an eye i to which is attached a chain i<1>, the other end of which is secured to a quadrant on the main axle. A movement of the ring a<2>, in changing the position of the ropes, causes the main axle to be rocked and thus raise the tools out of the ground during the turning of the implement. Locking levers and quadrants are employed in connection with the main axle either to hold the tools permanently out of action or regulate the depth of work. The Specification describes a modified arrangement of levers and links, for the attachment of the ropes g, g<1>, which act in substantially the same way as those shown in Fig. 1.
