Patent GB-191003271-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Filling Detector or Feeler Mechanism for Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1910-02-10
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 3271. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Feb. 10. Weft-replenishing mechanism.-Weftfeeler mechanism is used comprising a hollow slide 9, Figs. 3 and 7, guided by a guide 7 clamped to a stud 3, the slide having a solid end 9<1> with one or more wedge-shaped surfaces for engaging the weft 12<1> on the bobbin 12. An anglebar 17, pivoted on a screw 18 in the slide, has one arm connected by a rod or wire 18' to an upright lever 19 on a shaft 20, the other arm having an enlarged end provided with a brush portion or stiff bristles 17<2>. When the lay beats up, the slide 17 is moved forwards by engagement with the bobbin, against the action of a spring 15 which bears against a lug 9<2> on the slide and against a lug 10<1> on a cap 60 screwed to the guide 7. If the weft is not exhausted, the bristles 17<2> engage therewith and prevent the lever 17 from rocking on its pivot, so that when the slide 9 is moved forwards, the shaft 20 is rocked against the action of a torsion spring 21, and an upright lever 23 thereon withdraws an horizontally-extending rod 24 from a lever 25 pivoted to a vertically-reciprocated rod 26. The lever 25 is thus rocked freely without actuating a connector 28 and lever 29.. If the weft is substantially exhausted, the lever 17 can rock freely and no motion is given to the parts 20, 23, 24, and the lever 25 is compelled to rock about the rod 24. The connector 28 and lever 29 are thus actuated, and a lever 30 is operated to raise an upright bar 31 to rock a bobbin cradle 32 and release a bobbin from the magazine. A spring actuated plunger engaging in one of two notches in the sliding bar locks it in its upper and lower positions. The sliding bar has a weighted hook 36, which engages a lever fast on a rock-shaft 38. This shaft has an arm 39 provided with a stud 40 entering a hole in a block 41, which slides loosely in an elongated opening 42<1> in a lever 42. A helical spring'44 bears against the block 41 and against the hub 42<2> of the lever 42, so as to hold and lock the levers on the shaft 38 in their upper and lower positions. An arm 45 extending from the hub 42<2> is connected by a rod 47 to a lever 48 mounted on the transferrer hub and provided with a pin extending into a slot in a connector 51, pivoted to an extension of the transferrer bunter 52, which is thus raised into position to be engaged by the dagger on the lay, to operate, the transferrer mechanism.

Filed: 1911-01-13
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 984. Schneidewind, W., and Meyer, D. Jan. 13. Operating swinging and sliding doors. - Electric door-operating mechanism of the kind comprising electro - magnetic devices for withdrawing the lock bolt and opening the door and an electro-magnetic switch operated automatically to cut out the door-opening motor when the door is fully open is applied to doors adapted to close automatically by springs, rising hinges, running weights, or the like. On depressing a pivoted spring-flap 3, a switch 6 is closed and completes a circuit through an electro-magnet 10, to withdraw the door latch or bolt, and also through an electro-magnet 9 which attracts an armature 11 to close a switch 12 and complete a circuit to a motor 13, preferably arranged near the hinged side of the door. The motor then rotates a drum 22 to wind up a steel band or cord 23 connected to the door, and thus opens the door until an arm 17 on the upper hinge of the door contacts with a terminal 24 fixed to the door frame and completes a circuit through an electro-magnet 14. This magnet now attracts the armature 11 and breaks the motor circuit, the door then closing under the action of a spring, ball-bearing rising hinge, or other automatic door-closing arrangement. The invention is also applicable to sliding-doors normally closed by springs, running weights, or the like, a separate electro-motor actuating each door leaf. Specification 19,989/05 is referred to.

Abstract: 17,197. Priest, R., Millward, B., [trading as Priest, R.], and Morrall, W. July 27. Differential pulley-blocks and geared pulleyhoists. -Relates to geared and differential pulley-blocks and like hoisting-gear, of the kind furnished with means for enabling the loadwheel to be connected to or disconnected from the operating-gear by merely moving the handrope or hand-chain in the proper direction. This freeing of the load-wheel is for the purpose of allowing the lifting-hooks to be rapidly adjusted, and is operative only when the hoisting-gear is unloaded. The invention consists in the provision of a positive locking-means or detent for connecting the load-wheel and the operating-gear, and is shown in Figs. 7 and 8 as applied to a differential pulley-block. The pulleys or wheels 1<a>, 2<a> are normally locked together by a sliding spring-pressed pin 8, which engages with a recess in one of the wheels 2<a>. The backward portion of the bottom of the recess is inclined so that, by an upward movement of the unloaded load-chain or of the hand rope or chain, the pin can be pushed out of engagement. The pin, when pushed back, is held out of action by a spring pawl 11, carried by the other wheel 1<a>, entering a slot 10 in the pin. In order to ensure that a reverse movement of the load-chain or hand rope or chain shall produce immediate locking of the wheels, a loose arm 13 is provided, which is caused by frictional action to lag behind and disengage the pawl 11 from the slot 10. The movement of the arm 13 relatively to the wheel 1<a> is limited by stops 14.
