Title: Improvements in or relating to Braiding and the like Machines.
Inventor: WARDWELL SIMON WILLARD
IPC: D04C3/38
Filed: 1911-07-17
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 16,430. Wardwell, S. W. July 17. Braiding-machines.-Relates to stopping-mechanism for use with machines of the type described in Specification 15,476/11, controlled by hand and automatically operated by failure of the yarn. The stoppage of the machine also causes a brake to be applied. The driving-pulley 23 sliding on the main shaft 19 is clutched thereto by a hand-lever 53 pivoted at 54. This moves a yoke 48 attached at 51 to the short end of the lever 53 in the direction of the arrow c and brings the pulley 23 into engagement with a cone clutch member 24 secured to the main shaft 19. The lever 53 is locked in position while the machine is running by means of a bellcrank 56 pivoted at 54 and carrying a catch member 59 hooking over a stud 62. When the lever 53 is moved in the direction of the arrow a, a stud 67 projecting with side play through a slot 70 in the bell-crank 56, operates the catch 59 sufficiently for it to clear the stud 62 without affecting the bellcrank ; the lever then continues to move to the right under the influence of a spring 65 and disconnects the clutch members 23, 24. The same movements can be effected automatically by the movement in the direction of the arrow d of a ring 76 carrying a block 77 which acts upon a bevelled portion of the catch 59. The ring 76 is moved in the first instmce as the result of failure in any of the yarn supplies. To effect this, each supply of the upper set is provided with a drop-rod, normally supported by the yarn. When the yarn fails, the drop-rod contacts with the inclined upper end 106 of one set of feeler rods 101 moving with the lower set of supplies in the opposite direction. The corresponding feeler rod is thus depressed to contact with one of a set of arms 81 pivoted at 82 to a stationary ring 84, and connected by pins and slots 99, 98 to the brake ring 76. The ring 76 is thus shifted sufficiently to remove the catch 59 from the stud 62 as described above and actuate the stopping-mechanism. The continued movement of the stopping-gear shifts the ring 76 still further in the direction of the arrow d and wedges inclines against fixed inclines 83, thus causing the ring to rise and act as a brake. The stop-motion and brake are also actuated in a similar manner on failure of the yarn from any of the lower supplies, by means of rods acting directly on the arms 81.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Valves, arrangement of; valve-gear; assembling parts.-In an engine or pump, inlet and exhaust ports A, E are controlled by a single sleeve valve T, which is arranged between the piston and the cylinder and is reciprocated by means of a grooved cam disk P mounted directly on the crank-shaft. The cam-disk P is balanced by means of holes t. In a multi-cylinder vertical engine, the cam-disks may be grooved on both sides so that one disk serves for two adjacent cylinders. The arrangement is also applicable to engines with two pistons moving oppositely in one cylinder and to radial revolving-cylinder engines. The sleeve valve T works over a cylinder head F carrying a packing-ring s, and a similar packing-ring may be carried by the sleeve. The cylinder head F fits in a conical seating in the cylinder and has a screw-threaded portion so that it may be drawn tightly to its seating by turning it. In assembling the parts, the sleeves are supported above the crank-shaft with the followers engaging the cam grooves, and the pistons are inserted in the sleeves, the gudgeon being passed through holes in the sleeves; the cylinder heads are then inserted in the sleeves from above, the cylinders are placed over the heads, and the heads are drawn up by means of the threaded portions.
