Title: Improvements in and relating to Combined Thread-testing and Stop-gear for Shuttle Embroidery Machines.
Inventor: NEUBAUER CARL BRUNO
Filed: 1900-12-31
Granted: 1901-02-23
Abstract: 23,900. Neubauer, C. B. Dec. 31. Threads, testing.-Consists of a combined thread-testing and stop gear for stopping shuttle embroidering- machines on the breaking of a thread. Each needle a passes through a separate yoke s, which it thus supports above the poles of an electric magnet b. When the take-up acts the magnets are energized, and the threads further strained. If a thread then breaks, its yoke s drops across two pins i and completes the belt-shifter circuit g. The circuits are intermittently made and broken by means of a cam lever y. The belt-fork rod p is formed with a slanting slot, in which one end of a lever h engages. A weight q, connected to the lever h, tends to shift the belt on to the loose pulley, but is normally prevented from doing so by the latch lever k, under control of a magnet in the circuit ,g.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Buffers for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: SPENCER ALFRED GEORGE
Filed: 1902-10-04
Granted: 1903-09-17
Abstract: 21,641. Spencer, A. G. Oct. 4. Buffers.-Relates to buffers in which the initial buffing action is effected wholly or mainly by one set of springs and the final buffing action brings into play another set. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the buffer and rod 4 is constructed with two reduced parts, on which slide two plates 2, 3, adapted to butt against the shoulders 5, 5<a>, respectively, formed on the rod by the reduced parts. The initial buffing action is effected mainly by compression of the spring 1 interposed between the plates 2, 3, but when the buffer rod has been pushed in so far that the shoulder 5<a> engages against the plate 3, the supplementary spring 6, interposed between the plate 3 and the bearer 7 on the underframe, relieves the spring 1 from further compression. In a modification, the supplementary spring is enclosed in a casing against which the other spring bears. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the buffer rod 4 has only one reduced part, and the spring 1 is interposed between the plate 2 on this part and the bearer 7. The supplementary spring 6<a> is in the form of a short cylinder surrounding the spring 1, and is provided with a plate against which the plate 2 presses after a certain amount of compression has occurred. The cylindrical spring may be replaced by two separate side springs. In a modification, the supplementary spring is interposed between the other spring and the bearer, and a cup-shaped piece is placed between the two springs, so that the plate in the reduced part of the buffer rod bears against the edge of the cup after a certain amount of compression has occurred. In another modification, shown in Fig. 5, the main spring 1 is between the bearer 7 and a shoulder 5<a> on the rod, and the supplementary spring 6 rests against a shoulder 5, but is not compressed until the compression of the main spring 1 allows it to come against a cylinder 11, both springs then acting together. The springs may be built up of sets of concentric rubber rings a, Fig. 1, spaced apart by metal rings c, the sets being separated by plates b.
