Inventor: AINLEY JOHN SHAW
IPC: D06B3/26
Filed: 1913-12-30
Granted: 1914-10-08
Abstract: 29,928. Ainley, J. S. Dec. 30. [Addition to 6970/13.] Winch type.-In the apparatus described in the parent Specification, a roller or series of rollers is, according to the present invention, employed as crushing, pressing, or possing means. The fabric or warp 3, Fig. 1, is cuttled or falls on an apron or series of tapes 5 which, passing over rollers 6, 7, are intermittently moved over a bed 15. In the present instance, the bed 15 is provided at its upper end with an horizontal or substantially horizontal portion 15', the travel of the apron 5 being conditioned thereby. A roller a extends the full width of the machine and is journaled in suitable carriers, which are suitably moved so as to cause the roller at one end of its movement to be clear of the bed 15, while at another portion thereof it moves towards and parallel, or substantially parallel, with the bed, passing over and squeezing or pressing the fabric or warp lying thereon. The roller may either be swung in an arc free of the fabric or warp for a part of its motion, while a fresh portion of the fabric &c. is fed forward, or it may be reciprocated in a straight line. Instead of the roller being the full width of the machine, it may be in two or more portions loosely mounted on a common shaft; two or more rollers may be used. For example, three rollers b, Fig. 2, are mounted in a frame c carried by the free ends of suitably pivoted arms d, d. The frame c may be moved bodily to and from the bed 15 by connecting it, or one of the arms d, to an ecoentric pin or its equivalent. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 3, two rollers are linked together by links e and are provided with runners f on their axes adapted to run on cam - surfaces or inclined planes g as the links e are suitably reciprocated. Other suggested arrangements are: one or more mutilated rollers engaging the fabric &c. only when the longer radii are presented opposite thereto; a revolving cylinder carrying a series of rollers; moving the roller or rollers transversely to the fabric &c., instead of in the direction of its length. The pressing or possing means of the present invention may be arranged to be interchangeable with, or to replace permanently, the corresponding means described in the parent Specification.

Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 3779. Herbert, A., and Vernon, P. V. Feb. 13. Drilling-machines. - A feed-mechanism for drilling-machines of the type wherein the hand feed is automatically converted into a power feed on the tool coming into contact with the work, as described in Specification 16,704/13, has a positive clutch instead of a friction clutch, and may be provided with a stop-motion. The feed-sleeve A is fed by the usual rack-and-pinion motion from a feed-shaft A<4>, which carries a lever B, Fig. 2, mounted in a hole in the shaft so as to be capable of slight relative rotation. The lever has two V-projections B<2> adapted normally to engage two V-slots on the end of a clutch sleeve E, which carries teeth atits other end for engagement with corresponding teeth on a power-driven worm D, a spring E2 normally keeping the clutch out of gear. The feed-shaft is rotated by the lever B until the tool comes against the work, and the lever, on further rotation, rides out of the V-grooves and pushes the clutch into engagement, whereupon power feed occurs. If hand feed only is required, a cap-piece. J is used, having two projections J<2> which engage recesses G, Fig. 2, and prevent the. relative rotation of the lever B. To stop the feed, a head L, through which the lever passes, carries an adjustable ring M, which has a nose M2 adapted to engage a fixed stop N, whereby the lever B is stopped while the clutchpiece E still rotates until disengaged by the spring. The spindle head is retracted by means of a spring K, which is wound up during feeding.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Doffing Mechanism for Spinning, Twisting and like Frames.
IPC: D01H9/04
Filed: 1914-03-09
Granted: 1915-02-11
Abstract: 5884. Boyd, T. A., Boyd, J., and Boyd, J. & T. March 9. Doffing - arrangements. - The different parts of doffing-mechanism, such as that described in Specification 28,105/13, are operated by cams 64 on a cam-shaft 63 operated by hand or power. The cams operate levers 70 which are connected by chains &c. to the different parts of the doffing- mechanism, the levers on one side of the cam-shaft being connected with the doffing-mechanism on the opposite side of the frame. The cam-shaft may be slid longitudinally, so that the cams thereon may engage with the levers on one side or on the other, or be caused to occupy an intermediate position when they are out of action. The cam-shaft is driven by friction gearing from a shaft which is driven through a friction clutch from a shaft driven from the loose pulley, the friction clutch being placed in gear by hand after stopping the frame and disengaged when the doffing operation is completed by means of a cam on the cam-shaft 63. With the object of winding a few coils of yarn on the spindles at the end of the doffing operation, the tin roller is connected by sprocket gearing with the shaft from which the cam-shaft is driven, the sprocket-wheel on the cam-driving shaft being loose and connected at the proper time with its shaft by means of a clutch, the lever of which is operated by a cam on the cam-shaft. In order that the builder rail, and if necessary also the footstep rail, may be lowered to a sufficient extent for doffing without interfering with the traverse or lifting motion, the builder chain 53, Fig. 1, of the ordinary Scaife lifting motion is passed over pulleys 54, 56 on the frame and a pulley 55 on the slide 52, and is attached to a pulley 59 on the shaft 60 from which the footstep rail is suspended, the effect being that the builder rail is traversed by the motion of the slide and both the builder rail and the footstep rail may be raised or lowered independently of the traverse motion by operating the shaft 60. The shaft 60 is connected by worm and reversible bevel gearing with the shaft which operates the cam-shaft, the gearing being reversed at the proper times by cam and lever mechanism.
