Title: Improvements in Automatic Spool Changing Apparatus for Looms.
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1911-02-22
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 4479. Marks, E. C. R., [Spinnerei und Weberei Steinen Akt.-Ges.]. Feb. 22. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-A removable magazine a of box-shape with an open top is supported by arms f on the side plates d of a revoluble or other feeder &c. e. The magazine a has transverse partitions c, c<1>, which partly support some of the spools, the partition c' also guiding the spools one by one under a slide b in the open end of the magazine, whence they are guided by fillets g on the side plates d to the feeder. Partlyexhausted spools may be inserted by the weaver through openings in the fillets g back into the series of advancing spools, these openings being closed by a spring-pressed flap h. Ledges and stops determine the position of the magazine, and the arms f are inclined downwards towards the feeder. One of the arms f may be extended laterally to support a second magazine, which may be moved into the place of the first magazine when necessary. A guide-fillet e engages in the grooves between the spool heads k and the weft l to keep the lowest spools in position. The magazine may be filled in the spinning-mill, the weft ends being wound on the noses of the spool tubes or on detachable caps, which are subsequently removed automatically.

Title: Improvements in Gas Detecting Apparatus for Portable Electric Hand Lamps.
Inventor: RALPH GEORGE JAMES
IPC: G01N25/36
Filed: 1911-03-14
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 6364. Ralph, G. J., and Holmes, J. H. March 14. Explosive gases, detecting.-Relates to gasdetecting apparatus used in connexion with miners' electric hand lamps, in which the heat developed in a platinum or like wire C by catalytic action sets up unequal curvature of two compound strips A, B, thus opening or closing an electric circuit. This extinguishes or dims the lamp by inserting a resistance in series. In one form, Fig. 1, the heat developed in the wire C causes the compound strips A, B to separate, thus inserting the resistance F in series with the lamp G. The strip B may be replaced by a light spring, which follows the strip A up to a suitable limit. In a modification, Fig. 2, the effect of heat is to cause the strips A, B to make contact, whereupon the increased current melts the fuse H and inserts the resistance F. In another form, Fig. 3, a fuse wire H is bent over the platinum wire C, which is held in tension by a spring J. When the wire C is heated by the presence of gas, it is drawn away from the melted end of the fuse H, inserting the resistance F in circuit. The apparatus is enclosed in a case with gauze-covered openings, which may be fitted with a seal or lock.

Title: Improvements relating to an Apparatus for Producing and Affixing the Locking Cap of Cigar or Cigarette Cases and the like.
Inventor: WENNINGER OTTO
IPC: B21D53/38

Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 7048. Wenninger, O. March 21. Stapling &c.-A locking-cap for a cigar or a cigarette case is made from a metal strip and attached to the case by the operation of successively arranged tools fixed to a plunger 3 reciprocated by a treadle lever. The strip 4 is fed forwards between plates 1, 2, by rollers 5, 6 rotated by a pawl on the plunger. As the strip moves forwards, it is acted upon successively by triangular punches 7 which cut the edges of the strip to form fastening points, a punch 9 which cuts a slot in the centre to weaken the locking-cap, a former 10 which bends down the points 8 and forms a set-back body portion 8' by the co-operation of a central recess in the former with a corresponding ridge 12 on a removable base-plate, and, finally, the fastening-plunger 13 which cuts off and affixes the cap to the case 23, the ends of the points being either left straight or clinched on an adjustable anvil 14. A bent rod 16 held by a screw 17 gauges the position of the case for the correct setting of the cap.

Abstract: 20,415. Neil, J. M., and Rutherford, R. C. Sept. 15. Fire-bars and grates.-Consists of detail improvements in hollow rocking fire-bars. The contiguous ends of such bars are so supported that they tend to press together endways and thus make joint. This is effected by forming on each abutting end a downwardly-inclined tongue B<2> which rests on a similarly-shaped carrier. The carrier may consist of two rollers C, Figs. 1 and 2, or of two fixed supports having suitably inclined surfaces. Air is supplied to each fire-bar by a nozzle F, Fig. 4, extending from the furnace front under the dead-plate and presenting its rear end to the mouth of the fire-bar. The air outlets from the bars are formed divergent, as shown in Fig. 5, so as to induce an upward flow of air between the bars. The outlets may, in addition, be directed somewhat rearwards, and in plan may be straight or of the forms shown in Figs. 8 and 9. Each outlet may be constructed at a distance below the surface of the bar as shown in Fig. 10. Ashes are expelled through an axial outlet at the rear of the bar or through an outlet L in the base, Fig. 13, normally closed but opened when the bar rocks.

Abstract: 27,822. Schwarzlose, A. W. Dec. 9, 1910, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to inertia weight guns, that is, to guns in which upon discharge a weight moves forward relatively to the gun and operates the breech action, and consists (1) in effecting the rotary unlocking movement of the breech-block by a bent spring v which is compressed when the sliding cover or weight d moves forwards, and (2) in a special means of attaching the sliding cover. The spring, shown separately in Fig. 7, has a straight arm v, engaging a stud c<2> on the breech-block, and a bent portion v<2> lying over the straight arm. The spring is initially held partly compressed by the engagement of a tooth v<3>, on the bent portion, with the straight arm v. On the forward movement of the cover d, the spring is bent until the tooth v<4>, on the part v<2>, comes against the arm v, when the spring forms a rigid member interposed between the cover and the breech-block. To prevent the spring from relaxing backwards, before the breech is unlocked, a tooth v<5> at the end of the curved part v<2> engages a recess in the breech - frame when the spring is fully compressed, and is not released until the arm v engages the inclined surface v<6>, Fig. 7. The cover d, on one side, has a continuous rib d<2>, Figs. 2 and 5, engaging a corresponding groove in the breech-frame, and on the other side has a short rib d<3>, Fig. 5, which can be released from its groove by sliding the cover forwards. The cover can then be rotated about the rib d<2> as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 6, and removed.

Abstract: 4805. Michener, J. H. Feb. 26. Trimming and spreading apparatus. - Conveyers comprising a series of rotating disks are arranged to trim coal bunkers and like places. Fig. 1 shows a plan, and Fig. 2 an elevation, of the disks 15. The disks, which are either in the same plane or arranged so that the discharging edge of one disk is slightly above the receiving edge of the next disk, are driven through worm gearing 75 from a series of overhead longitudinal and transverse shafts 64. Each disk can be disconnected from its driving- shaft bv a clutch. The coal is fed to the receiving disk 14 through a hatch or by an elevator 6 enclosed in a trunk 5 and driven from one of the shafts. The trunk has an open bottom and accumulates the material in a pile prior to delivery to the disk 14. The disks are divided into two series at the disk 17, and retaining-guards 45, 46 may run along the whole of one side. Deflectors 48 are provided for discharging the material from the disks. A radially-adjustable deflector 52 may be provided to divide the material as desired between the two series. In operation, the material is transferred from one disk to the next by the deflectors 48, and any material not transferred is conveyed back to the previous deflector, where it is discharged over the edge. Transfer tables may assist the material from disk to disk. Spiral ribs or grooves may be formed on the disks to facilitate the discharge. The space under the disks may be trimmed either by causing the disks to discharge through a central opening or by providing blades or scrapers on the underside of the disks.
