Title: Bandage.
Inventor: SCHULZ PAUL HEINRICH ALBERT
Filed: 1907-05-21
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 11,845. Schulz, P. H. A. May 21, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 19011. Belts; bust improvers.-A bandage or 'body support is constructed of material which is elastic only in one direction, and is so made that, when in position, the bandage is elastic in the direction of the length of the body. The bandage consists of two attached or integral portions for the support of the abdomen and breast respectively, and is combined with either a catamenial or suspensory bandage according to the sex of the wearer. The abdominal support A, G, H, M, Fig. 1, is sewn or otherwise attached to the breast-support B, F, H<1>, M', the junction being in the form of a curve or obtuse angle pointing downwards. The sides of the abdominal support are curved, thus forming extended corners a, a<1> and b, b<1>. Fastening-straps c, c<1>, d, d<1>, &c. are attached to these extended portions, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and a uniform tension is thus obtained. The catamenial or suspensory bandage is attached to the abdominal support, and consists of a tubular webbing piece folded on itself from both sides towards the centre so as to form an endless band. having pockets opening inwards, into which absorbent cotton-wool may be placed. A cross-section of the complete bandage is shown in Fig. 8, and a longitudinal section of part of the bandage in Fig. 9. The bandage is stitched across at the points q so as to form a series of pockets disposed around its circumference. The half of the bandage away from the body is enclosed in a waterproof cover i, Fig. 7, which may be doublewalled so that it may be used for hot or cold application. For use as a suspensory bandage, the top layers of the endless band may be cut away as at r, Fig. 10. The soft absorbent stuffing may be replaced by hard material, so that the bandage may be used as a truss. In modifications of the body support, straps may be added for lacing the waist, and a back piece and pieces for the support of the breasts of women may be added.
Patent GB-190717486-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Rotary Magazine for Automatic Weft-replenishing Looms and Means for Actuating same and Controlling the Ends of Weft.
Filed: 1907-07-31
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 17,486. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. July 31. L o o m shuttles, changing b o b b i n s and the like in, automatically. - A rotary magazine for the weft-carriers in weft - replenishing looms is constructed wit h disks D, E, Fig. 3, provided with a series of guideways Hand shorter guideways I, Fig. 4, for the butts, and similar but narrowerguideways for the tips, the guideways being forwardly curved and e a c h adapted to hold several cops. The usual fixed stop d, spring abutment c, and yielding finger normally support the lowest weft-carrier in the active guideway. The lowest weft-carrier is fed by depressing the transferrer B, which has an integral arm m, Fig. 2, provided with a seating t for the part s of a pawl Q, which has a shank extending through a slot in the arm m. A spring r bears against the adjustable head of the shank and against a washer at the outer face of the arm m. The pawl Q is linked by an arm S to a crank-arm x on a shaft w provided with a feeler R, Fig. 3, which fits into the forked end of the transferrer B and acts on the weft-carrier immediately above the one that is being transferred. If there is only one weft carrier in the guideway, the motion of the feeler R and crank x is not interfered with, and on the downward movement of the transferrer (to the left in Fig. 2) the pawl 0 advances behind the next tooth of the ratchet P, and, on the return of the transferrer, feeds the magazine the distance of one guideway. If more than one weft - carrier is present in the guideway, the movement of the crank x is prevented, and the pawl 0 cannot advance behind the next tooth and rotate the magazine. A guiding-flange L, which is attached to the bracket A and extends over the mouths of the channels H, I from the level of the top of the elevated transferrer B to the fixed rest d, prevents the weft-carriers from falling or being jarred out of the magazine. A fixed guard M is secured to the outer face of the flange L, and is provided on its inner face with ribs N, 0, which support the butts and bodies of the weft-carriers respectively. The inner rib 0 has a raising-cam l to carry the peripheral weft - carriers over the fixed stop d. The weft ends are carried in groups from each guideway through the thread notches in the disk E and in the thread-guides disk G, and are then fastened to the thread-holder F. slack-thread controllers V, in the form of springs attached to the hub of the disk D and hooked over the groups of threads, maintain the tension in the threads. The hub of the disk E is secured by a screw g to the hub of the disk D, so as to rotate therewith. The magazine is maintained in its various positions by a spring-controlled roller detent, which bears on the sinuous periphery of the ratchet-wheel P.
