Inventor: COSSERAT OSCAR
Filed: 1908-08-18
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 17,381. Cosserat, O. Aug. 18. Loom weft - replenishing mechanism ; change - box motions; stop-motirns; weft-catching motions for change-box looms.-In a loom having a change-box motion, the ground weft is replenished automatically when it is exhausted or broken, and the loom is stopped when either of the colour wefts is exhausted or broken. The ground-weft shuttle is arranged in the top shuttle box, and, when this shuttle box is in the weaving position, the lever 5, Fig, 2, which controls the shuttle boxes, rests on a lever 6 fixed to a spring-controlled shaft 7 and keeps a leather thong 10 under tension. This thong ' actuates spring - controlled pivoted fingers 11, which, while the ground weft is being woven, keep the colour wefts down out of the way of a weft fork arrangedto control the weft - replenishing mechanism. While the colour wefts are depressed, the weft fork 21, Fig. 6, which controls the stopmotion, is prevented from engaging its weft hammer by means of a finger 20 drawn down into its operative position by a lever on the shaft 7. When the lever 5 turns to bring one of the coiour wefts ipto operation, a rod operated by a lever on the shaft 7 rises and blocks the weft-fork mechanism which controls the replenishment of the weft.

Abstract: 23,181. Johnson, J. V., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Oct. 11. Halogenindigo dyes.-Tri-, tetra-, penta-, and bexa - halogenindigos are obtained by treating 4 : 4<1>-dichlor- or -dibrom-indigo with a halogenizing-agent, preferably in presence of a solvent or diluent, such as sulphuric acid, chlorsulphonic acid, sulphuryl chloride, nitrobenzene, trichlorbenzene, or glacial acetic acid. For the production of tri- and tetrahalogenindigos the process is carried out in the cold ; the production of penta- and bexahalogenindigos may be effected in the cold or while heating. According to examples, 4<1> : 4<1>-dichlorindigo is chlorinated in nitrobenzene, and brominated in chlorinated acetic acid, and dichlortetrabromindigo is obtained by brominating in boiling nitrobenzene. 4 : 4<1>-dibrom-5 : 5<1>-dichlorindigo and 4 : 4<1> : 5 : 5<1>-tetrabromindigo obtained by the process are stated to be new. Instead of the dihalogenindigos used as parent material their leuco compounds, or according to the Provisional Specification, the dehydro derivatives, may be used. Specifications 5122/07, 10,326/07, 25,513/07, 25,514/07, 4423/08, 5382/08, 2386/09, and 8438/09, are referred to. The 4 : 4'-dibromindigo is obtained from the bromphenylglycinecarboxylic acid described below. 3-Bromphenylglycine-2-carboxylic acid is obtained by converting 6-nitro-o-toluidine into 6-nitro- 2-bromtoluene, and then reducing, acetylating, oxidizing, and saponifying to give bromantbranilic acid ; this acid is condensed with formaldehyde and potassium cyanides, and the product is saponified.

Filed: 1909-12-29
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 30,364. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Dec. 29. Buttonhole-sewing m a c h i n e s ; cords, attaching. -In sewing - machines in which the relative movements between the feeding - mechanism and the stitchforming mechanism occur in different directions, an automatically shifting cord-guide is provided for laying a cord to be embraced by the stitches. The application of the invention to a buttonhole-sewing machine of the type described in Specification 5621/04, is described. The cord is laid as a purl-thread, and the guide 46, through the eye 50 of which it passes, is attached to a pinion 43 rotatably mounted in a fixed plate 40 and surrounding the needle-bar concentrically. The pinion is oscillated by a segment 53 so that the guide 46 is maintained in advance of the stitching-mechanism during the stitching of the first side of the buttonhole, and is then thrown to the side during the first barring-operation, after which it is shifted to the opposite side of the mechanism for the stitching of the second side of the buttonhole. The segment 53 is actuated by a rod 57, the slotted end 64 of which is guided by a block 66, and is provided with a pin 69 which is kept in engagement with a pattern-cam 68. This cam is fixed on the rotating feed cam-shaft 67, and has steps 74, 75 upon its edge corresponding to the first and second displacements of the guide 46 from its initial position. The third displacement, which would take the guide back to its initial position, is prevented, until the completion of the stitching of the second side of the buttonhole, by the engagement of a. detent 77 with a notch in the plate 53. The motion imparted to the rod 57 by the cam 68 during this period is taken up by a spring 60 in a telescopic portion 59. The detent 77 is attached by a flat spring 79 to the plate 40, and it is raised to release the plate 53 by an arm on the rock-shaft 85 of the tensionrelease lever 86. The shaft 85 is rocked from the stopping-gear of the machine, as described in Specification 4417/08. Thread-cutters. - Thread-cutting mechanism of the kind described in Specification 4417 / 08, is employed, the upper cutting-mechanism being modified to accommodate the two threads of different size.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Printing Presses.
Inventor: SMITH WALTER HAROLD
IPC: B41F3/00
Filed: 1910-04-06
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 8348. Smith, W. H. April 13, 1909, [Convention date]. Tripping, throw - out, and like arrangements.-Offset &c. presses are fitted with tripping devices which are actuated automatically in the event of a failure in the feed to throw off the impression, and the cylinders are restored by a manual operation. The tripping - devices preferably throw the cylinders on and off at times when the non-coacting parts are opposite to each pther so as to prevent double printing due to imperfect contact when the impression is thrown on. The cylinders are thrown on and off by a reciprocating rod which is shifted by mechanism controlled either manually or by feeler mechanism. As shown, an offset cylinder 2 is mounted in eccentric bearings 4 adjustably connected to toggle links 5, 6 connected to a lever 9 normally held raised to keep the toggle made, and the cylinder 2 in contact with the plate cylinder 1 and impression cylinder 3. An adjustable stud 13 on the lever is normally in the path of an arm 15 which is reciprocated by a cam 16 on the impression cylinder. The arm 15 is connected to a link 18, and its upper end is connected by a pin 23 to a slotted link 20 attached to a lever 21, which is normally maintained in the full line position shown against the action of a spring 25 by means of a screw 29 on an arm 27. The arm 27 is on a spring-controlled shaft 28 which is turned to bring on the impression by a hand-lever 30, and the shaft is held in position against the action of the spring by a lever 33 actuated by a lever 34 controlled by a feeler. When no sheet is fed the feeler acts through the levers 34, 33 to trip the shaft 28 and allow the lever 21 to move to the dotted line position, thereby moving the rod 15 under a shoulder 26 on the lever 6, and as the rod 15 rises, the toggle 5, 6 is broken and the cylinder 2 thrown off. To throw the impression on, the shaft 28 is reset manually, and if the rod is to the left of the stud 13 it is drawn by a spring 24 into alinement with the stud 13 as it descends, and on ascending it raises the lever 9 and the impression is again thrown on. The lever 33 is also fitted with a tripping-handle 35, so that the cylinder 2 may be tripped manually.
