Abstract: 18,367. Lake, W. E., [Lambie, J. E.]. Aug. 9. Setting and distributing type.-Machines in which surfaces carrying the type to be set or the type to be distributed are arranged in co-operative relation to one another, and are constructed with a flat longitudinally-movable type-container having transverse type guideways, and with a movable distributing-holder having guideways movable into register with the container guideways. The type-container D has roller bearings upon grooved rails B, B<1> on the base A, and carries the type between guide-strips E. The container is moved by means of a handle G, and is removably held upon the base by means of a detachable screwsecured rod H. A rack I upon the container gears with a pinion J which drives a screw shaft N through bevel-gearing ; a pointer 0, moving over an index strip P, enables the operator to stop the container for type selection. The types are set from the container i n t o a holder Q, which is secured by a rod H<5> similar to the rod H, and travels upon rails R, R<1> ; a rack S on the base A co-operates with a spring detent on the holder and enables the holder to be moved line by line as its guideways are filled. The types are moved singly from the container to the holder by means of elastic india-rubber or like fingers V carried between bars Uwhich are supported by links X. A vertical rod X<1> carries an operating finger-piece X' and bears against the cam-edge of the link X ; a spring X<5> moves the fingers to the right when the finger-piece is released. The bars U and fingers are inverted when type are to be distributed from the holder Q into the container D. A continuous elastic bar, serrated along its two edges, may be employed instead of the separate fingers. When the holder Q has been filled with type, it is secured in a cylinder or other printing- machioe employing inking-rollers or an inking- ribbon. The holder Q is replaced on the rails R, R<1> after the printing operation, and the type distributed back into the container D. Fig. 10 shows a form of type which may be used. The guide partitions d have V-shaped heads e<2> engaging over the champered edges of the type ; plain partitions and type may however be employed.

Granted: 1909-11-08
Abstract: 24,267. Jerram, A. E., Pearson, M. H., Goddard, J. W., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Aug. 6, 1908. S e w i n g - m a - chines; governing needle thread in wax - thread machines for sewing harness. The take - up is operated positively to set the stitch, and yieldingly during the thread - measuring part of the stroke, so that the thread is measured off in accordance with the thickness of the work. An auxiliary thread-measurer controls the amount of thread measured off in accordance with the length of stitch. A take-up arm M, comprising two thin plates between which a thread roller M<2> is fixed, is pivoted at M<1>, and is operated by a cam-groove G<7> and a bowl M<3> on an arm M<4> formed upon the hub of the arm M. The camgroove G<1> is designed to draw off thread sufficient for the thickest work for which the machine is designed. If thinner work is being sewn, a stop I<13> attached to the presser-bar is lowered into the path of a toe-piece M<G> on the lever M, and limits the final upward or threadmeasuring movement accordingly. To permit this, a portion G<1> of the outer wall of the camgroove, which is in contact with the bowl M<3> at the time, is pivoted at G<2>, and is yieldingly held in place by a spring G<3>. The parts are so proportioned that the lever M remains in its highest position until the eye of the needle reaches the surface of the work. Thread is measured in accordance with the length of stitch by a finger P<1> mounted to slide vertically in the laterally vibrating needle-bar frame. An inclined pin P<3>, attached to it, slides in a hole in the presser-bar, which causes the finger to be retracted from the work during the feeding movement. In the return feed movement, the finger returns into contact with the work, and bends the thread into contact with the work close to where the needle will next penetrate. The thread is locked during the stitch-setting movement of the take-up by a roller eccentrically mounted on a shaft, which is rotated by a cam. Lock-stitching by shuttles; needles, vibrating; presser-bars, lifting automatically.-The stitchforming mechanism and the needle-vibrating mechanism are the same as those described in Specification 16,577/08. The presser is lifted automatically by a lever pivoted to a sleeve loose on the presser-bar. When the lever is lifted by a cam, it grips the presser-bar and raises it.

Title: Improvements in Train Pipe Couplings.
Inventor: WITWER HARVEY OLIVER
IPC: B61G5/08
Filed: 1910-06-13
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 14,298. Witwer, H. O. June 13. Couplings, disconnectible. - Train - pipe couplings of the kind having a coupling- head and a valve are made so that the coupling-pipe is supported from the draw-bar, and so that it may move laterally and in the direction of its length to control the valve, which can also be operated by hand. As shown in Fig. 1, the pipe couplings G are carried by links from brackets C<5>, and the coupling pipes F can move longitudinally in bearings K, these bearings being carried on trunnions K<1> so that they can swing up and down. The trunnions move in elongated slots so that vertical movement is also allowed. The pipe-coupling heads are arranged, as shown in Fig. 14, with vertical faces contained in planes inclined to the axis of the train-pipe F, and the rear parts G<5> of these heads are provided with pockets for the reception of the forward end G<2> of its companion coupling face; a drain G<6> for removing snow and dirt is also provided. Springs L<2> tend to hold the pipes F and the heads G in the forward position; and these springs, together with a slotted bar F<2> secured to the head G, tend to throw the couplings out of line, as shown in Fig. 11, when in the disengaged position, because a pin C<2> on the brace C<3> passes through the slot. The valve H is controlled by a link H<2> coupled to the arm H<3> terminating in a head H<4>; this arm H<3> slides in a bracket N on the support C. Rods R are arranged with heads R<2>, which so interlock that, when one head turns, the other has to turn also, and these rods pass through locking-devices P, shown in horizontal section in Fig. 7, such that the rods R, by turning axially, can lock or free the valve-operating rods H<3>. Thus, when the cars A, A<1> move apart, the rods H<3> are locked, but the pipes F slide in the bearings K and thus close the valves. The slide or catch O controlling the rod H<3> is itself controlled by a catch which is released when the spring plunger T<2> is pressed; this takes place when the locking- device is pressed up against the body of the valve H. When the cars come together, the heads G engage, and as the cars move home the heads move so as to cause the pipes to come into line; as the pipes move up, the valves H are opened. When the cars are uncoupled in the usual way, the links S are pulled upwards, and this rotates the rods R and the valves close as described above; should, however, the cars break apart, the rods H<3> are not locked, and hence the pipes F move without closing the valves H, so the air in the train-pipe escapes, and the brakes are thus applied. The coupling- heads may be provided with an electric coupling for joining up electric telephone, signalling, or power-transmission conductors. This coupling may be arranged on top of the pipe couplings, and consists, as shown in Fig. 15, of metallic contacts V held in plungers V<1> forced outwards by springs V2.

Abstract: 19,633. Haddan, H. J., [Sawyer, O. A.]. Aug. 22. Stop - motions, warp and weft; stop-motions acting on occurrence of flaws in cloth. Relates to mechanism for stopping a loom when there are. thin places in the cloth, or when one or more warp threads are missing, or when the weft is finer than is intended or has loops &c. in it, or when there are puckers in the cloth. A spring-controlled bar J, Figs. 2 and 4, mounted on the breast-beam, is reciprocated transversely of the loom by means of a cam, and carries a number of looselypivoted detectors P provided with teeth p<5> or roughened surfaces engaging the face of the cloth. If there is a fault in the cloth, one of the noses p<3>, p<4> of a detector is caught, and prevents further transverse movement of the bar J, which is retained in such a position that a finger N, pivoted to the lay, falls into a notch j<7> in the bar and strikes a lever O, thus disengaging the setting-on handle F from its notch and stopping the loom. In order that the detectors may be as near as possible to the fell of the cloth, and yet clear of the temples G, Fig. 2, the bar J may be replaced by a bar J<1>, Fig. 8, which has a few detectors arranged near each end and supports a bar J<2> carrying the remainder of the detectors. The bar J<2> is hinged to the bar J<1> so that it may be turned up clear of the fell. The stop-motion may be used in conjunction with an ordinary warp or weft stop-motion.

Abstract: 22,792. Smith, E. A. C. Oct. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Matte processes for copper. - In the Bessemerizing of copper matte in a converter having a non-acid lining, the volume of the air-blast admitted is proportioned to the amount and composition of the acid flux used, so that a thin fluid slag is formed at a temperature insufficient to attack the lining. In the preferred method, a flux containing matte-forming material, such as a siliceous copper ore, is used, and the material is subjected to a series of fractional blows, the slag being removed after each blow and a charge of matte and flux added before the next blow. The last fractional blow prior to the blow to blister copper is so conducted that an amount of iron is left in the matte that is more than sufficient to compensate for the silica in the slag unavoidably left in the converter, in order to prevent " foaming " during the blow to blister copper.

Abstract: 6414. Pollard, F. A. March 26, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 18,734/08.] Refrigerating, compression machines for.-In apparatus for the automatic regulation of liquefied gas refrigerating-apparatus, such as that described in the parent Specification, the valve 15 controlling the flow of liquefied gas from the condenser to the refrigerator is operated by an expansible tube 6 containing some of the liquefied gas, and acting through a flexible membrane 5, the sides of which are in contact with the gas passing to and from the refrigerator. The membrane 5 is held between two casings 1, 2, the casing 1 having a passage 10 leading to the suction of the compressor and a passage 11 connected to the outlet of the refrigerator. The casing 2 is fitted with a valve 15 having a rod 16 which is pressed against the membrane by a spring 21; a passage 19 leads from the condenser outlet, and a passage 18 leads to the inlet of the refrigerator. Other passages 12, 20 permit the pressures in the passage 18 and the casing 1, respectively, to be transmitted to the membrane 5. A rise of temperature in the gas passing from the refrigerator causes expansion of the tube 6 and opening of the valve 15, which admits liquefied gas to the refrigerator until a state of equilibrium is attained. The spring 21 is. regulated so that the vapour returned to the compressor is in a dry overheated condition.
