Title: An Apparatus for Automatically Stopping Looms when a Pre-determined Length of Fabric has been Woven therein.
IPC: D03J1/20
Filed: 1910-03-23
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 7229. Orme, T. A., Stansfield, A., and Meters, Ltd. March 23. Feeding webs. - In apparatus for stopping looms when a predetermined length of fabric has been woven, a series of numbered disks f, g, h, Fig. 2, representing yards &c. are loosely mounted on a shaft a, Figs. 2 and 4, and are each provided with a recessed collar k, the recesses being situated opposite to projections p<1> on a lever p when the disks each indicate zero, so that the lever p may then be rocked to stop the loom. A single tooth f<1> on the disk f drives a pinion i, which gears with a toothed wheel g<1> secured to the disk g, so that the latter makes one revolution for each ten revolutions of the disk f, and the disk h is similarly caused to revolve once for every ten revolutions of the disk g. To drive the counting-disks, a starwheel m<1> gearing with a toothed wheel m<2> carried by the disk f is loosely mounted on an eccentric m fast to the shaft a, which has a pinion c driven from another gear on a short shaft (not shown) secured to the casing of the apparatus (not shown), the said gear being driven from the loom take-up motion. A loose sleeve n on the spindle a has a disk n<1> provided with two pins n<2>, which fit in slots or recesses, one at each side of a tooth of the star-wheel, and the sleeve n is driven by toothed gearing n<3>, n<4>, o, o<1>. The apparatus is set by inserting a key through a key-way in the enclosing-case of the apparatus, the key being provided with a square recess to fit a square post r on the shaft o<2> on the gear o<1>, so that by means of the key the sleeve n can be rapidly turned and the disks rotated until the figures denoting the length of fabric to be woven appear opposite to apertures on the glazed top of the casing of the apparatus. When the key is first turned, a part q of a latch q<1> is actuated, and the latch q<1> then contacts with a cranked finger q<2> on the lever p, which is thus rocked to remove the projections p<1> from the recesses in the disks k. After the key has been withdrawn, a flat spring r<2> tends to lock the gearing actuating the sleeve n, and the numbered disks are slowly rotated in the reverse direction by means of the eccentric m, which causes the star - wheel m<1> to oscillate and thus rotate the disk f one-tenth of a revolution for each revolution of the eccentric. When the disks return to zero position, the lever p<1> is oscillated by means of a spring and the loom is stopped, for example, by connecting the lever p by a cord &c. s<2>, Fig. 5, to a lever s<1> pivoted at t to a crank t<1>. When the lever p is rocked, the lever s<1> is rocked into the path of a lay bunter u<1>, whereby the crank t' is rocked and the stopping-handle u<2> removed from its notch to stop the loom. According to the Provisional Specification, the shaft o<2> is provided with a pinion normally engaged by a locking- latch.

Abstract: 28,143. Weddell, E. G., and Player, R. Dec. 3. Hooks, automatic release.-In a safety hook for colliery cages, lifts, &c. of the kind in which two pivoted plates a are formed with projections d, e, f which engage shoulders g, i to sustain the cage &c. in the event of an overwind, the pin l, from which the load is suspended, is employed to lock the plates in the operative position. The hook comprises two outer plates b and two inner plates a, which are projected into their operative position by the engagement of curved portions with the fixed part h. Each plate a has a slot k consisting of portions radial to and concentric with the pivot pin c. In the operative position of the plates, the pin l drops into the coincident lower parts of these slots and of the slots in the plates b, and locks the plates in that position. To release the hook, the winding-rope is attached to a pin inserted in coincident slots m, and by raising the plates b relatively to the plates a, the pin l is lifted out of the locking position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: SPIERS THOMAS ARTHUR
IPC: D04B25/02
Filed: 1911-02-03
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 2784. Spiers, T. A., and Preston, E. E. Feb. 3. Warp machines.-Relates to machines for knitting tuck fabrics from variously coloured threads carried b y a series of thread-guides 21 and laid on the needles by oscillating the cylinder. The vertically sliding needles 1 and the horizontally rocking loop-holders 11 and thread-guides 21 are actuated by sliding sleeves 4, 15, and 28 operated from a cam shaft between each loop-build. ing motion. The cylinder 3 is shogged backwards or forwards through gearing by means of a worm-wheel 45 which can be slid along a shaft 44 to engage either of two broken worms 47, 48 which rotate in opposite directions and move the wheel 45 through one tooth per revolution. The wheel 45 is shifted by means of an horizontal lever 53 connected to a vertical lever 56, a pin 60 on which carries a disk 62 laterally movable under control of a pattern - wheel. According to the height of the stops 66 on the pattern-wheel, the disk 62 is brought opposite cams 69 or 70 respectively on shafts 49, 50, thus moving the wheel 45 into engagement with worms 47 or 48. In a modified form of shogging- device, actuating-wheels are mounted on either side of a pin-wheel and are laterally shifted to bring them into engagement alternately therewith. Tucking is effected by a slotted plate 77, which, when in action, lifts a portion only of the needles to the clearing position. Normally the needles are lifted as a whole by a sleeve 79, which rests upon a cam-ring 80 carried by the ring 4, but when the tucking-plate 77 is required to come into action, the cam-ring is rotated by the pattern-wheel so as not to lift the sleeve 79. To vary the tucking performed, the plate 77 may be secured to the ring 4 so as to shog with it, or may be shogged independently. A pattern chain may be employed to slide the pattern-wheel on its axis and bring into play a different set of studs for control of the needlecylinder shogging - mechanism, and simultaneously, if required, to bring the tucking- mechanism into or out of action.

Title: Improved Process for Producing Ammonium Nitrate.
IPC: C01C1/18
Filed: 1911-05-03
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 10,759. Gewerkschaft des Steinkohlenbergwerks Lothringen, and Uhde, F. May 3. Ammonium nitrate.-To obtain pure aminonium nitrate when absorbing ammonia from tar-freed coke oven and like gases in a solution of calcium nitrate, the uncooled and undried gases are collected directly in concentrated calcium-nitrate-solution, and the precipitated calcium carbonate separated. Any impurities in the salt can be removed by acidifying the liquor with nitric acid, and further heating it. It is sometimes an advantage to wash out of the gases the whole of the ammonia and carbonic acid by means of water, to expel these gases again, and to treat them when in a concentrated form according to the above process. The process can also be used with the gases obtained from gas water, sewage, putrid urine, and condensation products from the distillation of turf peat, brown coal, shale, &c., and from suction gas apparatus &c.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Starting Mechanism for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: F02N99/00
Filed: 1911-07-03
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 15,471. Boult, A. J., [Christensen, N. A.]. July 3. Starting.-A starting system consists of a reservoir into which air or mixture is compressed the air being carburetted on its way to or from the reservoir, an automatic distributing - device worked from the engine shaft, and igniting - means. The distributing-device and the compressor for charging the reservoir are controlled by a single valve. To charge the reservoir, the valve w, Fig. 1, is turned into such a position that through communication is established between the reservoir z and the pipe a. The resultant pressure in the pipe x moves a piston in a cylinder o which has upon its surface rack teeth engaging a pinion upon the same shaft as the pinion l, Fig. 2, and causing the clutch k to connect the compressor shaft to the magneto shaft j. Air may be drawn into the compressor g through the pipe l' or mixture from the carburettor b through the pipe t. On. turning the valve w to its neutral position, the pipe a is open to the atmosphere and the piston rack is gradually returned by leakage. The clutch k may be operated by a lever s instead of by fluid pressure. On moving the valve w into the starting position, the compressed fluid is returned through an auxiliary carburettor 36 to the distributor 4. The auxiliary carburettor may be between the compressor and the reservoir instead of between the reservoir and the distributor. The distributor comprises a casing 4 containing valves 3, Fig. 7, normally held off their seats by a cam 15. The entering mixture moves a piston which, by means of a rack-andpinion device, rotates the cam 15 sufficiently to allow the valves 3 to close and to be opened in succession by another cam by the side of the cam 15. The mixture escaping past the valves passes to the cylinders through pipes 11. Each pipe 11 is provided with a check valve. In a modification the distributing-cam is axially movable on its shaft and is moved into action by the pressure of the mixture on a piston connected with the cam.
