Patent GB-190816611-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Synchronizing Kinematographs with Talking Machines.
Inventor: GREENBAUM JULES
Filed: 1908-08-06
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 16,611. Greenbaum, J. Aug. 6. Kinematographs.-Phonographs are synchronized with kinematographs by observing a circular arrangement of electric lamps which are controlled by contact segments driven from the phonograph and kinematograph. Sixteen lamps b mounted on a fixed disk a in a casing c are each connected to sixteen separate segments l traversed by sixteen spring contacts n mounted on a disk d rotated by the kinematograph. Each of the contents n is connected to a separate ring o, which contacts with a like number of spring contacts connected through separate wires B to sixteen segments h on a collector disk rotated by the phonograph. A brush i slides on this collector disk and is connected through a battery k, wire A, spring contact u, contact ring spring contact s, and contact ring m with all the lamps. When the phonograph and its collector disk are rotating, the lamps light up consecutively in one direction, and when the kinematograph and the ring d are rotating, the lamps light up consecutively but in the opposite direction. When both are running synchronously, one lamp only will be lighted at one definite place, and want of synchronism is indicated by other lamps being lighted in either direction. The definite lamp which is lighted when there is synchronism may be omitted, and the definite lamp may be moved round by a knob. A glass cover is provided for the lamp casings, and rings are painted on it to indicate the definite lamp which shows synchronism, and to indicate those lamps to which the light must be transferred to obtain synchronism, if the phonograph stylus accidentally jumps from one record groove to the next on either side.

Title: Improvements in Machines for the Manufacture of Hearth Rugs and the like.
Inventor: MEARS JOHN WALTER
Filed: 1908-09-18
Granted: 1909-10-18
Abstract: 19,612. Mears, J. W., and Crawshaw, R. E. Sept. 18. Carped; r u g s &c.-Hearth rugs, mats, carpets, &c. consisting of a foundation fabric with tufts of wool or yarn or strips of fabric passed through such foundation, are made by the apparatus shown. The foundation fabric is carried over a roller or drum comprising ends 4, Fig. 1, and transverse parallel bars 5, above which is a head 6 which supplies the tufts. The drum is mounted on a shaft 82, and is held by a locking - piece 84. The head 6 is reciprocated by means of a rack 34 and a pinion 33, on the shaft of which is a ratchetwheel driven by one of two catches 31, 35 operated from tappets on the shaft 26. The tufts, passing from a reel, are fed by grippers 13, 14, Fig. 3, which are moved forwards by levers actuated from a tappet on the shaft 26 and backwards by a spring 21. On the forward movement, a spring trigger contacts with a stop 42 and a spring causes the grippers to close on the tuft, which is then drawn through the eyes of a pair of needles 44. At the end of the outward stroke, the grippers are opened by means of an incline in a bracket 46. The tuft is then severed by a guillotine knife 9 moved downwards by a tappet and raised by a weighted lever, and the needles are depressed to carry the tuft through the foundation. The needles are fixed to a slide block 50 reciprocated by a crank 52, and they pass one on each side of a bar 5. A presser 53 is then lowered on to the bar 5 by a pin 54, Fig. 4, on the slide block engaging a finger 55 on a rod 56. When the needles move upwards, the presser still holds the tuft until a tappet 57 allows a spring 59 to raise the presser. The presser has extensions 60 lying in grooves in the inner faces of the needles, to prevent the tuft from fouling the eyes of the needles as they are withdrawn. Similar extensions outside the needles are fixed to the underside of the head 6. In a modification, the eyed needles are replaced by two pairs of needle bars 44, Fig. 9, which are operated to open and close at the required times. These needles are carried by bars 72 connected by links 77 to a pin 65 fixed in the slide block 50, which is connected by a telescopic link 66 to a crank 67. A crank 68 is connected to a plunger 69 slotted at 71 to receive the pin 65. A pin 74 passes through the plunger and the needle bars 72.
Patent GB-190823628-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or applicable to Carding Engines.
Inventor: ASHWORTH ELIJAH
Filed: 1908-11-05
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 23,628. Ashworth, E. Nov. 5. [Cognate Application No. 24,781, A.D. 1908, dated Nov. 18.] Guards, controlling by movable parts of machinery. - A device for locking the door which gives access to a carding - engine cylinder, in machines in which no belt - fork is used, comprises a primary lock which can be released when the belt is moved off the fast pulley, and a secondary lock which can only be released when the pulley ceases to rotate. The bar b, Fig. 1, which is connected to the door a<2>, is locked by a lever d, which has at one end a projection c engaging a slot b<2> in the bar, and at the other end a sweep or feeler e, which is in juxtaposition to the flange of the fast pulley g. As long as the belt is on this pulley movement of the lever d is prevented, but when the belt is moved on to the loose pulley, the loose sweep e can be moved and the projection withdrawn from engagement with the bar b. The secondary lock comprises a pivoted lever h as described in Specification No. 17,185, A.D. 1908, having a projection at one end engaging with the bar b and being only capable of release when the pulley g ceases to rotate when a pencil &c. can be inserted through a slot in the pulley flange to tilt the lever. When the door is opened the bar b prevents any return movemeut of the lever d, and the belt therefore cannot be returned on to the fast pulley until the door is closed. In a modified arrangement, a feeler block E, Fig. 8, in contact with the periphery of the pulley g replaces the piece e. The block E is carried on a pivoted lever D, the other end of which carries a bar C which engages a slot b<2>x in the bar b. The secondary lock arrangement is similar to that already described. Fig. 10 shows a further modification in which both the primary and secondary lock arrangements are combined in the feeler block E. The block is hollow and has mounted in it, on a spindle n<1> carried by flexible arms n, a cam m. The presence of the belt on the pulley g keeps the block E depressed. The removal of the belt allows the block to rise slightly but not sufficiently to unlock the lever connected to the door. The cam m is also rotated by frictional contact with the pulley and thus keeps the lever depressed until the pulley ceases to rotate, whereupon a weight o returns the cam to its normal position and allows the block to rise sufficiently to release the lock. Specifications No. 19,348, A.D. 1901, [Abridgment Class Spinning], and No. 19,036, A.D. 1904, are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Safety Mechanism for Machinery.
Inventor: PEGG SAMUEL JOHN
Filed: 1908-11-10
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 24,085. Pegg, S. J. Nov. 10. Guards.-In a device of the kind in which a movable guard is arranged in front of feeding- mechanism which is reversed upon motion of the guard, the reversal is effected by change gear shown in Fig. 1. This gearing consists of the wheels 9, 10, 11 mounted on a bracket 6 arranged to have a rocking motion on the spindle of the driving - pinion 8. Thus when the bracket is rocked, the direction of motion of the wheel 7, and therefore of the feeding-rollers b, c, is reversed. Rocking of the bracket is produced upon motion of the guard 5 by the withdrawal of an arm 13 from under a shoulder 18 on an extension of the bracket. The guard may be glazed so that it can be seen whether articles are being fed to the machine properly, as for example in the case of a machine for brushing stockings.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Applying Spirally-wound Mouthpieces to Wrappers or Shells for Cigarettes.
Inventor: NORDSJOE FREDRIK WILHELM
Filed: 1908-11-27
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 25,659. Nordsj÷, F. W. Nov. 30, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cigarette - making machines. - Relates to the insertion of spirallywound mouthpieces in cigarette shells in such a manner that the seam of the shell covers the outside edge of the spiral. Four pairs of tubes 7, 8 are mounted on a rotatable drum 6 which is driven intermittently by a pawl arrangement, the tubes 8 being fixed to the drum while the tubes 7 are journaled therein and are rotated relatively to the tubes 8 by means of epicyclic gearing. This consists of pinions 9 and a dead wheel' 10 having twice as many teeth as the pinions 9, which are thus caused to rotate once on their own axes while the drum completes half a revolution. The spiral is wound in a slotted sleeve 15 by known means and is introduced into the tubes 7, 8 by means of the reciprocating non- rotary shaft 2 which is preferably operated by a connecting-rod 13 &c. A spring blade 16, carried by a standard adjustably mounted on the baseplate, is pushed out of the way when the spiral is being introduced into the tubes 7, 8 but enters the slot of the sleeve 15 and keeps the spiral in position on the return of the sleeve. The drum now advances by quarter turns, spirals being introduced into the tubes 7, 8 when these come into register with the sleeve 15. The tubes 7, 8 have slots 12, 11 respectively, which register when the tubes are situated on the horizontal diameter of the drum. The spiral is caused to rotate by the tube 7 until the outside edge of the spiral engages with the slot 11 of the tube 8, whereupon the spiral is in correct position to be introduced into the cigarette shell mounted on the tube 8. The spiral is pushed into the cigarette shell by means of a reciprocating rod 21, Fig. 4, and the cigarette shell with spiral mouthpiece is pushed off the tube 8 by means of the projection 22 which takes into the slot 11. The edges of the slot may be thickened to prevent the outside edge of the spiral from projecting too far out, or the edge of the slot against which the edge of the spiral bears may be made to project inwards more than the other edge, or an abutment or shoulder may' replace the slot 11, a slot being provided to enable the cigarette shell and the mouthpiece to be removed from the tube.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Blowers.
Inventor: FAGAN LEWIS EDWARD
IPC: F04C18/20
Filed: 1909-02-16
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 3817. Fagan, L. E. Feb. 16. M o v a b l e - abutment type of rotary blower with rotary abutments. The pistons project laterally from a disk on the shaft, and work in an annular chamber between a fixed central core and the outer casing. Passages arranged in the core lead fluid trapped in the recesses of the abutments to a working part of the annular chamber. Figs. 1 and 2 show a blower provided with two gear-driven rotary abutments 26, 27 situated between the suction port 38 and the discharge port 39; but only one abutment may be used. The pistons 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 are carried on each side of a disk 9 secured to the shaft 7. They rotate between the outer casing 1 and fixed cores 8 formed on the casing end walls 4. Passages 20, 21, 22 are formed in the cores 8, and serve to conduct fluid entrapped in the abutment recesses 31 back to the working spaces a, b, c respectively. In this way, the quantity of pressure fluid carried back to the suction side by the abutments is reduced. The abutments run loosely in their casing to avoid the necessity of lubrication; and pockets 35, 36 are provided in which fluid leaking towards the suction side collects until a recess 31 comes adjacent to it. The fluid passes into the recesses and is carried towards the discharge end. A transverse slot is formed in each abutment at the centre to accommodate the disk 9, and a fixed partition 33 enters it from the upper side. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which only one abutment is employed. One passage 43 is arranged in the core 8, and the ports 41, 42 are closed when necessary to prevent direct backflow, by parts 46 which rotate with the pistons.
