Title: Improvements in and relating to the Method of Finishing Conditioning or Damping Yarns or Threads.
Inventor: HALLIWELL THOMAS
IPC: D06B1/00
Filed: 1910-07-01
Granted: 1911-07-03
Abstract: 15,785. Halliwell, T. July 1. Yarns, damping.-For finishing, conditioning, or damping purposes, the yarns contained in a practically closed chamber are exposed to a current of moist air or the like induced through the top and exhausted from the bottom of the apparatus. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the apparatus consists of two chambers a, b communicating by a pipe c, the chamber a serving to collect any water or surplus moisture before the charged air comes into contact with the yarn placed, usually in skips, on a perforated floor l in the chamber b. Humidifiers d arranged in open-ended pipes e at the top of the apparatus comprise nozzles which introduce water or steam or both over spreaders in spray fashion, the water &c. being supplied by a pump g from a tank i and inducing air through the pipe e into the chamber a. The moist air is withdrawn or circulated by a fan k connected by a pipe j with the supplementary chamber m under the floor l. Baffles n, o may be provided, excess water collected by the baffles o being conducted away by a pipe p; a pipe w also serves to drain the chamber a. Flanges u and spring plates v bear against the sides of the skips and prevent the moist air from finding its way down the sides of the apparatus. In a modification, only one chamber a, Fig. 2, is used, and the supplementary chamber m is formed integral with a carriage used for transporting the skips into and out of the chamber. The carriage is recessed to receive the skips q; and the packing - strips q<1> hold the skips in position and prevent the moist air from finding its way down the sides. The top of the carriage is perforated below each skip; and the bottom has an opening designed to lie over the flanged end of the pipe j, in connexion with the exhaust fan k, the bottom of the carriage being curved and flexible to permit the pipe to fit closely against it. The carriage is provided with wheels by which it is mounted on rails so as to be run into and out of the apparatus which is closed by doors. The pipe f, Fig. 1, by which the water &c. is conducted to the humidifiers is provided with a gauge, and when the water exceeds a certain pressure, a valve f<3>, in a pipe f<2>, opens and allows the excess water to return to the tank i, which may be provided with a gauge. Steam may be admitted to the tank i.
Patent GB-191024308-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Filling Detector Mechanism of Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1910-10-20
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 24,308. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Oct. 20. Weft - replenishing mechanism. - Relates to feeler mechanism of the class described in Specifications 3271/10 and 20,824/10. In this mechanism, a spring - controlled reciprocatory feeling-slide 7 and a second feeler or angle lever 11 pivoted thereon are employed, the weft on the bobbin engaging the wedge-shaped end 7' of the slide 7 during the forward movement of the lay and moving the slide 7 to the front with the feeler 11, which is connected to an upright arm 13 on a spring-controlled shaft 14; if sufficient weft is present to engage the feeler 11 and prevent it from rotating, the shaft is turned, otherwise the feeler rotates and the shaft remains stationary, whereupon the replenishing-mechanism is operated. In order to prevent improper actuation of the replenishing- mechanism, owing to the improper winding of the yarn, or the taper or bevel end of the yarn mass allowing the feeler 11 to rock before the weft is substantially exhausted, the arm 13 is provided with a lug or ear 13<2> carrying an adjusting-screw or stop-piece 20, which is engaged by an extension 7<2> of the slide when the lay moves forwards, so long as a certain amount of weft remains on the bobbin, so that the shaft 14 is positively rocked and the replenishing- mechanism is prevented from being operated. At a later stage, however, the slide is not moved sufficiently to engage the stop-piece 20, so that then, when the feeler rotates owing to substantial exhaustion of the weft, it acts as described in the before-mentioned Specifications to cause weft-replenishment to occur.
