Abstract: 9369. Boult, A. J., [Burroughs Adding Machine Co.]. April 15. Adding-apparatus for monetary values.-The Wales key-set lever-operated multiple-bank machine, described in Specifications 14,115/05 and 14,116/05, is modified with regard to its keyboard, differential mechanism, and transfer-mechanism to admit of the addition of items of British currency. Fig. 1 shows in the pence bank two extra keys 117<a>, for ' 10 ' and ' 11 ' respectively, together with their levers 116<a>, 116b and stop-rods 115, of which there are eleven for this bank. The rack-bar is accordingly arranged to give the pence numeral-wheel pinion 78 eleven degrees of rotation, and corresponding numerals are borne by the wheel. In the tens-of-shillings bank, all the keys are marked ' 1,' and although they raise the usual set of stops, the travel of the rack-bar is not determined thereby; instead, the bar 310, Fig. 11, is notched 'at the end and takes up two positions corresponding to the normal and raised positions of the stop-arm 118. The numeral-wheel in this bank is marked alternately ' 0 ' and ' 1.' In an alternative arrangement, the additional pence keys are placed in a separate bank, and raise stops placed to one side of the usual set, the pence rack-bar being provided with a laterally-extending foot for the purpose. The usual spring latch plates for the stops of the two banks are connected so as to move together. Transfer mechanism.-Fig. 9 shows the form adopted for transferring from the tens-ofshillings to pounds, the multiple - toothed transfer trip-wheel 101 displacing an arm 97 normally locking a spring - urged lever 93 carrying a transfer actuating-pawl 92.

Abstract: 10,786. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. May 4. Weft, cutting; shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automiatically. - In order more certainly to prevent actuation of the weft-cutting device c, Fig. 1, mounted on the shuttle feeler Y, if the shuttle should be wrongly positioned, and thus prevent actuation of the replenishing-mechanism, the transferrer-dog m<Î>, Figs. 1 and 3, has a stud m<4> fitting within a cam-slot n<2> on a finger n' secured to the shuttle feeler Y, and the usual lay bunter 2 is made with a laterally-extended and inclined part 1 fitted with a spring-controlled actuator 11 having a convex protuberance 16. This actuator tends to minimize the wear on the lav bunter. When the usual shaft d<1> is turned to cause replenishment to occur, the feeler Y is swung to the left as usual, and, if it is not stopped by a wrongly-positioned shuttle, it raises the dog m<Î> into a position wherein its notch engages the V-shaped edge formed by the bevelled upper face 4 and front face 3 of the lay bunter, so that the transferrer is actuated and the cutting-blade actuator c<20> engages the usual setting-pin c<6> on the blade c<Î> to cause the weft to be cut. If, however, the feeler Y engages any part of the shuttle when the beatup occurs, the feeler is returned slightly, and the dog m<Î> is thereby sufficiently depressed to engage the convex protuberance 16 on the actuator 11, whereby it is then quickly depressed and causes the feeler Y to be further withdrawn, so that the setting-pin c<6> is not engaged by the blade-actuator and the cutting- mechanism is not actuated. As the lay completes its forward movement, the actuator 11 vields and permits the end of the dog to slide down the front of the bunter, so that the transferrer is not actuated. The cutting-device is provided with the usual setting-cam.
