Title: Improvements in Driving-belt Fasteners, for Motor Cycles, and the like.
Inventor: LIDDELL ERIC
Filed: 1907-09-05
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 19,828. Liddell, E. Sept 5. Belt fastenings.-A fastener for \/-belts for motorcycles &c. is constructed so that the grip is proportional to the tension in the belt, and so that the ends may be separated without removing the halves of the fastener from the belt. At about the middle of four rectangular metal pieces M, N, countersunk holes are formed, sufficiently large to allow play to the connecting-bolt A. These metal pieces are curved transversely and furnished with spikes. A piece of suitable metal, such as spring steel P, engages grooves E in the plates N, M, and is slotted at the middle to receive an eye with shoulders R. The two eyes are connected by one or more links. The pull of the belt tends to straighten the pieces P, which act as levers causing the other ends of the pieces N, M to grip the belt. In order that the pieces P may act as levers and as little as possible as springs, they are reduced in width at the middle. In a modification, the pieces N, M are convergent, and suitably-shaped pieces of metal, connected as before by a link, slide between the converging ends, which are forced open by the pull and thus cause the other ends to grip the belt. When desirable, the belt length may be varied by using connecting- links of different lengths. According to the Provisional Specification, the ends of the pieces N, M may be bent inwards to overlap, and are slotted and connected by a link as before.

Title: Improvements in Pattern Card Mechanism of Circular-box Looms.
Inventor: WILKINSON STEPHEN
Filed: 1908-01-30
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 2095. Wilkinson, S. Jan. 30. Loom change-box motions.-In rotary-box motions for cross-border fabrics &c., three pattern barrels a, b, c, Fig. 2, having pattern cards m, m<1>, m<2 >are used. The box movements can be directly controlled by the cards on any one of the pattern barrels, while the cards on any one barrel may control the rotation of the adjacent barrel or barrels. The catches 5, 6, Fig. 1. which operate the shuttle boxes, are controlled by indicating- levers g, g<1> having arms k ... k<5>, which are raised from the cards m, m<1>, m<2> and are then allowed to fall thereon. The arms k, k<2>, k<4> are connected together by a cross-piece 3, and the arms k<1>, k<3>, k<5> by a cross-piece 4. The cards are each provided with two rows of perforations and blanks under the arms k ... k<5>. When any particular barrel, for example b, is in action, the cards on the other barrels have holes for the arms k<5>, k<4>, k<1>, k so as not to interfere with the control of the arms k<2>, k<3>, one or both of which may then be allowed to descend through a hole or holes in the pattern card in the barrel ; or the card may have two blanks to prevent the descent of either arm. The pattern cards have each two special rows of perforations and blanks over which stand arms n ... n<3>, raised at the same time as the arms k ... k<5>, and they respectively control ratchet pawls p ... p<3> and ratchet-wheels q ... q<3> on the birrels a, b, c. If either of the arms n<3>, n<1> is allowed by the cards m<2>, m to descend, one of the ratchets p<3>, p is operated and the barrel b is turned. Similarly, if the cards m<1> allow the arms n<2> or n to descend, the barrel c or a is rotated by the ratchet p<2> or p. To weave a long plain or one - shuttle part, a card on the barrel b may be used provided with a hole opposite the arm n<2> and a blank opposite the arm n, so that the barrel c only is rotated. The active cards on the barrels a, c are provided, in this case, with holes for the arms k, k<1>, k<4>, k<5>. Until a card comes up on the barrel c with a hole for the arm n<3>, the active pattern card on the barrel b repeats its indications. Instead of using a series of holes and blanks for controlling the arm n<2>, long and short cards m<1> may be used. By dispensing with the arms k<4>, k<5>, a simpler type of cards may be used on the barrel c. The barrels are provided with the usual spring - actuated levelling-devices f, f<1>, f<2>.
