Title: Improvements in Cotton Gins.
Inventor: WEST DANIEL KEMP
IPC: D01B1/06
Filed: 1910-08-26
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 19,947. West, D. K. Aug. 26. Gins. - In double - roller Macarthy gins in which the moving knives are above the grids, the seed cotton is forced down the vibrating grids towards the rollers by pushers operated at such periods as to coincide with the exposures of the rollers when the moving knives rise clear. The pushers, which act alternately, prevent the seed cotton from hanging together, and there is one push to two or four vibrations of the beater shaft, to allow the escape of the seed and thorough stripping of the fibre. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the pushers P<1> follow the slope of the grids, and are mounted on crossed rods P<2>, which run through swivels centred on levers L keyed on a shaft s operated from one of the roller shafts by cranks s<1> and a link. Springs S', adjustably arranged between nuts on the pusher rods, prevent excessive pressure or overfeeding of the seed cotton. In a modification, the pusher rods are approximately vertical, and are kept parallel by a link pivoted to the rods above the swivels. In another arrangement, Fig. 3, the pushers P<1> move along the face of the grids, and are fixed to the ends of curved rods P carrying fixed pins p<2>, which pass through diametral holes in the beater shaft B. Slots in the rods P engage with pins p<1> at the extremities of a V-shaped lever L<1> fixed to a shaft s operated by cranks L, p and link A from one of the roller shafts, so that the pins on the lever L<1> drive the pushers along the grids, the slots running up and down on the pins as the beater vibrates faster than the pushers. In a further arrangement, the pushers or feeders take the form of sprocketed or toothed wheels journaled in pairs on a reciprocating carriage, which also carries jockey-wheels engaging with a fixed strap, which also passes around pulleys on the sprocket-wheel shafts, so that, as the carriage is reciprocated from end to end of the hopper, the wheels rotate and drag the seed cotton down to the rollers. In order to keep the seed cotton down to the rollers, the moving knife or the grid, or the inside of the hopper, is provided with a projection such as m, Fig. 6.

Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 20,096. Lidback, J. A. Sept. 3. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Sausages and the like.-Comprises a sausagelinking machine in which a set of grippers seize the sausage at regular intervals, the sausage passing downward into a rotating pan whereby a twist is given to each joint as it is held by the grippers. A length of unlinked sausage 4 passes over a grooved feed-wheel at the top of a frame 1. The feedwheel is driven at various speeds by a pinion 12 on a telescoping driving-shaft 11 engaging any of a series of crown-wheels 12. A friction belt 6 prevents slip between the sausage and the feedwheel. A plate 14 carried by the frame supports a set of four grippers which are shown in Fig. 5. Each gripper is journaled on a stud 17 and is slotted to receive a pin 20 depending from a ring 19. Rollers 18 afford a bearing for the ring. The grips are automatically and intermittently applied by the ring being rocked by a cam-andlever mechanism operated by the driving-shaft. A receptacle 28 for the linked sausages is supported in a cage carried on a shaft 34. The cage comprises a grooved pulley 26 and bent arm 27. Springs on the pulley receive the receptacle and the cage may be adjusted vertically on the shaft by a screw and nut. The set of clamps, shown in Figs. 7 and 10, are supported above the receptacle, and comprise arms 48 the bosses of which are toothed and journaled on studs 50. The toothed bosses are engaged by an internally toothed ring 45 which is U-shaped in section and accommodates a split brake ring 46. The brake ring is automatically and intermittently applied by a cam on the driving-shaft to hold the ring 45 and thus causes the clamps to grip the sausage. The pulley 26 is driven by an electric motor, and when the receptacle is filled, a weighted lever is overcome and the shaft 34 slides and releases a switch to cut off the current from the motor.
