Title: Improvements in Yarn Winding Machines.
IPC: B65H63/02
Filed: 1911-02-16
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 3913. Brabant & Vandier, E. & G. Feb. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Winding-machines; tension arrangements; stop-motions.- The bobbin carrier of a slitdrum winder is disposed and arranged so that the line of the winding contact and the axes of the drum and bobbin remain in one and the same plane during the whole of the winding, and so that the yarn is always delivered along the common tangent of the bobbin and drum. Further, the bobbin carrier is operatively connected with means for decreasing the pressure of the bobbin on the driving-drum and also the tension of the yarn as the diameter increases, and with means for stopping the bobbin upon breakage of the thread and upon the completion of the winding. The bobbin is carried by a sliding carriage 2 which moves along guides 1 at right-angles to the axis of the drum and is carried by the upper arms of levers 11, 13 pivoted at 12. The carriage is connected bv a cord or chain 9 with a weighted pulley 8, so that as the bobbin recedes from the drum the effective leverage of the weighting-cord 40 diminishes. The yarn is deflected by an eye 24 on its way to the drum, and is led over a rod 5 on the carriage so as to be delivered along the common tangent of the bobbin and drum. A cord 19', attached at one end to the rod that carries the eye 24, passes around a rod 14 on the lower arms of the levers 11, 13 and is secured to a spring plate 18 rigidly secured to a shaft 17<1>. Two arms 25 are pivotally adjusted on the shaft 17<1> so as to be in unstable equilibrium, and are provided with an adjustable stop 31 which bears against the spring 18. A cord 48 is secured at its ends to the stop 31 and the rod 14 respectively, and passes through holes in the lower arms of a pivoted frame 41, 42. As the winding proceeds, the arm 13 is moved so as to increase the angle #, and thus permits the eye 24 to rise and decrease the deflexion a of the yarn. If the yarn should break, the cord 19<1> is released and the spring 18 overbalances the arms 25, which then fall towards the left and draw the cord 48 taut, thus operating the levers 11, 13 and 41, 42; these respectively withdraw the bobbin from the drum and advance the brake frame 44 to stop its rotation. A rod 35 is carried by a pivoted bracket 34 and bears against the rod 14 by reason of the weight of the bracket. When the bobbin is finished, the rod passes beyond the end of the rod 35 and thus allows the bracket 34 to swing about its shaft and destroy the balance of the arms 25 and stop the winding as before described. The upper part of the rod 25 may be directly connected with a lever, which, when the rod 25 overbalances, engages with and removes the bobbin.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Manufacturing Box Blanks or the like.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: B27M3/36
Filed: 1911-03-07
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 5703. Lake, H. W., [Greenstreet Folding Box Machine Co.]. March 7. Stapling. - A boxblank stapling-machine is provided with means for automatically spacing successive cleats. The cleats, which are carried up to feed-wheels 67, Fig. 1, by constantlymoving feed-chains 38, are provided at their ends with mating portions, and the inner side 47, Fig. 4, of the end of each cleat is cut away. The wheels 67 are frictionally driven, and can stop when the cleats are held against forward movement. The cleats move forward until a spring-pressed finger 41 passes into the cut-away portion of a cleat and projects into the path of the following ones, thus stopping their movement. A friction-driven spacing-wheel 51, Fig. 12, on a shaft 53 is then able to bring one of its spacing-fingers 52 in the path of the cleat, which is freed by a cam 58 on the wheel 51 moving back the finger 41. The cleat is rapidly moved forward until it is separated from the preceding one by the spacing- finger 52. When this occurs, the forward end of the cleat enters between friction rollers 26, Fig. 1, and a positively-driven feeding-chain 24 by which it is carried under the stapling-mechanism. A spring-pressed sheet gauge 83 is at the same time moved sideways in front of the cleat, the gauge being carried by links on a sliding carriage 81. After the sheet has been secured to the cleat by one or more staples, a finger 86 on the carriage engages a cam 87 and retracts the gauge 83. The carriage is then drawn back bv a weight into position for the next cleat. The operations are repeated for the following cleats; but after the fourth cleat has passed, the spacing-wheel 51 interposes a long spacing-member 57 to provide an extra length of wire between two successive box blanks. The friction wheels 26 may be moved sideways to remove cleats that have been wrongly fed, by moving a hand-lever 28. In a modification, the cleats and sheets are spaced by the same means. The cleats 181, Fig. 15, are stopped by a finger 131 until a spacing-finger 144, with an upper projection for the sheets, is moved into position. The finger 131 is then retracted and the cleat and sheet moved forward under the stapling - devices, carrying the spacing - finger with them. A stop 148 throws out the spacing- finger after the first staples have been driven. To allow for the extra spacing between the completed blanks, stops operated by a knee-lever are moved to hold the spacing-fingers against forward movement. The mechanism operating the stops is also connected to the stapling-devices so that, when the stops are thrown into operation, the feed of wire for the staple is stopped.

Abstract: 16,253. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. July 11. Loading-appliances.-Relates to ammunition hoists of the kind wherein separate cages, charged at different levels, are employed for raising the projectile and the powder charges. According to the invention, separate presses A', B' are used for the two cages, both of which presses are controlled by a single valve C. Intercepting-valves a<1>, b<1> are arranged in the supply pipes a<Î>, b<Î> of the two presses between the valve C and the presses. Each intercepting-valve can slide on its spindle between two stops, and has two seatings. Cam-bars a, b, moved by the presses, control the positions of the intercepting-valve spindles. The sliding arrangement of the valves a<1>, b<1> on their spindles, and the two seatings, permit the valves to act both ways, for the raising and lowering of the cages, and the cam-bars effect the cut off in the usual manner as the cages approach the limits of their travel. Cocks D, D<1> permit either press to be actuated independently of the other. The pressure-supply ports of the valve C are of different sizes, so that the projectile press B' may Le driven more quickly than the powder-charge press A<1>, and the cages are thereby caused to reach the working-chamber below the gun simultaneously. The projectile-receiver in the working-chamber has a projectile-retaining stop coacting with the cage in the manner described in Specification 14,240/12.
