Patent GB-190923484-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Warp Heddling and Reeding Machine.
Inventor: MCGREGOR ALEXANDER
IPC: D03J1/14
Filed: 1909-10-14
Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 23,484. McGregor, A., Swinburne, H. P., and Bradley, G. Oct. 14. Healds and reeds, threading. - In a warp heddling and reeding machine, the four harnesses 266 are secured to frames carried by side rods 176. The harnesses are raised in succession, to bring the healds opposite the threading - needle, by tappets 184, which lift the rods 176 and are mounted on an intermittently-rotating shaft 185 reciprocated bodily in a vertical direction by means of a cam. The healds are selected by pins 28 on pairs of pivoted fingers 9, which are reciprocated on vertical guides 25, and are simultaneously turned d in planes parallel to the harnesses. The guides 25 are mounted on a carriage which reciprocates at right-angles to the harnesses in order to cause the pins 28 to enter between the healds and to be withdrawn therefrom. The fingers 9 are moved in such a manner that the heald to be threaded lies between the pair of fingers opposite it, and the adjacent healds in the same harness are spread apart by the pins 28 of these fingers, the healds in the other harnesses being spread apart by the corresponding fingers 9 in order to provide a clear passage for the threading-needle 4. The fingers 9 and the needle 4 are supported on a carriage 7 which is moved across the machine intermittently. The heald to be threaded is gripped, firmly, to ensure the correct passage of the needle 4, by pivoted grippers 89 mounted on a frame 5 which reciprocates on the carriage 7. The needle 4 is preferably threaded by hand, and is reciprocated in the frame 5 by a rack 110 operated by a pinion 113 and chain 115. The needle 4 transfers the warps to a hook 8, which is carried by a swinging lever 152 mounted on the carriage 7 and is arranged to draw the warps between the dents of the reed 3. The spaces between the reed dents are opened out for the passage of the hook 8 by the end 169 of a three-armed lever 165, which is guided by a pin 167 and is operated by a pin 170 on the lever 152, the pin 170 being arranged to engage the slanting edge 171 and the hook 169. When two warp threads have been threaded through their respective healds and drawn through one of the reed spaces, the reed is moved through a distance equal to the pitch of the reed dents, and, when two warp threads have been passed through the next reed space, the reed is returned to its original position, and the carriage 7 is moved through a distance equal to twice the pitch of the reed dents. The machine may be modified to thread more than four harnesses, and to pass any number of warp threads through each reed space. The needle 4 may be arranged in the same plane as the eyes of the healds, thus dispensing with the mechanism for lifting the healds. The hook 8 may be dispensed with by arranging the needle 4 so that it passes first through the reed and then through the healds. The tappets 184 may be replaced by a pattern chain, which may be arranged to control the traversing-mechanism for the carriage 7.

Over the hole 9 is a hollow cap 12. In operation, the device is held by the handle, and the cap 12 struck sharply against an object, whereupon the compression of the air causes the paper to be ruptured with a loud report.

Inventor: SCHWERIN GRAF BOTHO
IPC: C04B33/00
Filed: 1911-02-01
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 2626. Schwerin, Graf B. Feb. 1. Pottery; pottery materials.-Porous articles of crystallized carborundum or corundum are made by moulding the finely-ground material without a binder, or with a temporary binder, and firing in a neutral or reducing atmosphere; such articles are hard, refractory, and inert to chemicals, and are applicable, for instance, as diaphragms in electrolysis, for separating acid and alkali. The porosity increases with the fineness of the particles used. Preferably, the finely-ground material is purified by boiling in succession with strong hydrochloric, nitric, and hydrofluoric acids, and soda, with filtering and washing between each. Graphite is removed by prolonged heating in air. The powdered material may be moulded as a paste with a liquid such as water, to which is added preferably ammonia for carborundum and acetic acid for corundum, a rough, smooth, or polished surface, or one with patterns, being imparted to the articles by the mould.

Abstract: 10,813. Notbohm, C. May 4. Hunting-gear.- Corves are passed on to or from mine cages by a catch 20 on an endless chain 11 driven from the piston - rod of a cylinder 37 having an admission valve 47. The rod 46 of the valve is linked to an operating- lever 43 pivoted at 42 to a lever 40 pivoted at 39 in such a way that the point of connexion of the rod 46 to the lever 43 and the pivot 39 are in alinement when the levers 40, 43 are in operation. The lever 43 is moved about the pivot 42 into the position shown by a dotted line so that the pawl 44<a> of the locking-lever 44 engages the first of a series of recesses in the sector 44<b>. The rod 46 is then pulled back, and pressure fluid is admitted to the cylinder 37. As the corves 6, 7 are pushed on to the cage, a connexion 38 with the piston-rod 36 or a connexion 57 with the sprocket 10 pulls back the lever 40 towards the position 40<x>. The lever 43 then pivots about the point of engagement of the pawl 44<a> of the locking-lever 44 with its sector, and the rod 46 is pushed back to close the valve and stop the catch 20. The levers 40, 43 are then in alinement again. The lever 43 is then operated so that the pawl 44<a> engages the next recess in its sector, whereupon the catch 20 is moved forward a stage further. The catch is moved forward step by step until the lever 40 occupies the position 40<x> when the transfer is complete. The levers 40, 43 may however be thrown right over, and the transfer of the trucks effected in one operation. In modifications the lever 43 operates a link motion, a brake being applied when the lever is in the inoperative position.
