Patent GB-190900007-A (GB)
Title: New or Improved Pick Matching Mechanism for an Odd Number of Harnesses in Automatic Weft-replenishing Looms.
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1909-01-01
Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 7. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. Jan. 1. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In looms provided with an odd number of healds and with weft-replenishing mechanism set into operation by either of two weft forks B, A, Figs. 1 and 2, at the supply and opposite sides of the loom respectively, the replenishing of the weft is delayed after one of the weft forks has detected weft-failure, so that the first pick of the new weft may be laid in the same shed as the broken weft. If three healds are employed, the replenishing is delayed until after the sixth or third pick according to whether the weft fork A or B first detects weft-failure, as indicated respectively in Figs. 1 and 2. If the weft fork A first detects weft-.failure, the corresponding slide C, Fig. 4, is reciprocated by the weft-fork hammer, and a coupler H; which has lugs f. fitting in notches c in the slide, is reciprocated therewith until its shoulder g encounters a fixed stop h on the stand D, whereupon the coupler is moved to the notches d in the slide. Feet i on the coupler are thus moved from a supporting- lug j on the slide, so that the coupler becomes inclined. When the slide is again moved forwards after the third pick, a second shoulder l on the coupler comes into contact with the stud h, and the lugs f of the coupler are moved to deep notches e in the slide. A dagger on the coupler is thus moved behind an arm on the change - shaft F. When the slide C is again operated after the fifth pick, standards thereon bear against lateral arms on the coupler and carry it forwards, thereby rocking the shaft F sufficiently to cause weft - replenishment. The weft-fork hammer E subsequently returns the coupler to the notches c. When the weft fork B first detects weft-failure, the corresponding slide operates the shaft F directly, but not sufficiently to cause weft - replenishment, the arm on the shaft F being, however, connected by a spring to a lever K, which acts as an abutment L on the coupler and moves it to the deep notches e in the slide C. When the weft fork A is now operated after the second pick, Fig. 2, the change-shaft is rocked, and weft is supplied to the shuttle, after it has been picked into the right-hand shuttle box. To make the weft fork B inoperative after the blank picks 2, 4, 6, Fig. 1, and the blank pick 3, Fig. 2, the slide C, Fig. 4, operates an arm O on a sleeve N against action of a spring a. An arm on the other end of this shaft has a pin, which operates a slotted lever S, Fig. 11, and a pin T on the lever S then rides up a cam-slot U in the slide of the weft fork B and raises this weft fork out of action.

Granted: 1910-02-28
Abstract: 4878. Strange, E. H., and Burrell, E. R. Feb. 27. Varnishes. - In dissolving copal resin for making varnishes, the operation is conducted without excess of the solvent required in the finished varnish, and at a pressure of about 250 lbs. per square inch, with distillation of the solvent. To this end, a digester having a distilling-head, a condenser, and a suitable outlet valve are used. As little as one-tenth of the solvent required in the finished varnish may be used, therefore there may be used as dissolving- agents such bodies as volatile fractions of the distillation of shale oil, or of petroleum, known as " turpentine substitute." The varnish is preferably made by adding American turpentine at a lower temperature, or for common varnishes volatile solvents as the fractions above mentioned may be used. For oil varnishes, linseed oil may be added after the treatment in the digester at about 100‹ C. Filtration or settlement may be effected after thinning, and, in the case of oil varnishes, before adding the oil. Dryers may be added to the varnishes. Specifications 5402/02, 5403/02, and 5404/02 are referred to.
