Title: Improvements in or relating to Braiding Machines for Making Ornamental Fabric or Lace.
Inventor: GEBUEHR CARL
Filed: 1905-02-25
Granted: 1905-05-11
Abstract: 3997. Geb³hr, C. Feb. 25. Braid braiding- machines.-Relates to the manufacture of patterned braid, on machines with serpentine races and four - armed d r iving-wheels. The diameter of the end or intermediate wheels can be virtually increased by means of jacquarded bobbin-stopping devices, the description of fabric made being thus alterable at will. Two types of braid are obtained. In the kind termed " simple," each pair of threads in one direction passes over and under consecutive pairs at right-angles as shown at I, Fig. 10. A more " complex '' kind II, Fig. 10, is like a twill ; each thread passes over and under consecutive pairs at right-angles, but is either behind or in advance of its neighbour. The two kinds may be worked in any sequence of horizontal or vertical alternations. It is possible to make a lace-like meshed fabric, by braiding separate breadths of the simple and complex kinds and connecting these at intervals, or to form twisted pillars in the fabric by confining some of the bobbins to single driving- wheels. Withdrawing-devices k, Fig. 4, may be employed for making a braid with the simple and complex kinds alternating in horizontal bands. The switches k are introduced into the races at opposite sides of a driving-wheel a midway between the race intersection x. Each switch axle l carries a bobbin stem guiding-piece m<1> on an arm m and a lower jacquard-controlled actuating-arm, or slides k<1>, Fig. 6, with bell-crank controlling and bobbin-guiding levers may be used instead. The " complex " braid shown at II, Fig. 10, is produced in a machine with an odd number of four-armed driving-wheels by stopping each bobbin as it passes round the end plates, at one or three stopping-places, thus making the end driving-wheels equivalent to five or seven armed wheels respectively. The " simple " braid shown at I is obtained by making the end wheels virtually six-armed. Stopping-devices are only required at the intermediate wheels to effect the transition from simple to complex as shown. To make vertical alternations, it is necessary to divide the sets of wheels into partial sets, one for each breadth. For this purpose, two slides v, t with curved edges v<1>, t<1>, Fig. 6, are applied to the race intersection, and are separately operated by jacquard-controlled bell-cranks which guide the bobbins into recesses under the slides. When one of the slides v, t is advanced by the jacquard, the bobbin stem will be pushed out and given a short turn, sufficient to direct the bobbin to one or other of the adjacent driving - wheels. The breadths thus produced run side by side and are connected to make a meshed fabric by a mutual transference of selvedge bobbins. By providing the two kinds of stopping-devices shown in Fig. 6, it is possible to make a fabric composed of " simple " and complex" " braid in any sequence of alternations, or comprising open-work or twisted cords. Analogous improvements are applied to machines with even numbers of driving-wheels.

Title: Improvements in Shaft Bearings.
Inventor: RICE RICHARD HENRY
Filed: 1905-03-04
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 4574. Rice, R. H. March 4, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901 ]. Fluid bearings; lubricating.-A thrust or step fluid-pressure bearing is provided with an auxiliary bearing-block to take the weight if the pressure of fluid at the main bearing fails. The application to the step bearing of a vertical turbine shaft is described. The block 20, secured to the shaft 7, has a chamber 21 registering with a similar chamber in the lower block 23, which fits as a piston in a chamber in the base 22 and is prevented from turning by one or more pins 36. Fluid, preferably lubricant, is supplied by the pipe 25 to the chamber 24, and passes by the passage 27 to the chamber 21 at sufficiently high pressure to support the load. The block 23 tends to rise under the fluid pressure, and is held by the enlarged head of the spindle 28, the height of which is adjusted by the worm-wheel 29, worm 30, and a hand-wheel. The auxiliary bearing-block 32, which takes the load when the block 23 falls through lack of pressure, has a groove to which lubricant or other fluid is supplied by the pipe 33, and is supported by pins 34 seated on the platen 35, mounted on the threaded sleeve 31 on the base 22. The height of the auxiliary block 32 is adjusted by the worm-wheel 37 and a handwheel. Lubricant escaping from between the bearing-blocks finds its way to the chamber 40, flows upwards through grooves in the guide-bearing, and is discharged by passages 17 into the chamber 18 formed in the casing 8, from which it is collected by the pipes 19. Carbon packing-rings 11, 12 are placed in chambers in the cover 10. Under normal conditions, steam or other fluid under pressure is supplied by the pipe 13 to the chamber containing the packing-ring 12.

Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 18,846. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Sept. 18. Motors, controlling.-Single motors for electrically-propelled road vehicles &c. are controlled by altering resistance and changing the field connexions without breaking the motor circuit or materially reducing the torque. The controller shown developed in Fig. 1 provides for five forward speeds governed by the left-hand set of contacts, while the right-hand set of contacts provides for reverse movement, and resembles the other set except that the number of speeds may be less. When the contact-fingers C occupy the position 1, the motor armature A, Fig. 2, is placed in series with the storage battery B, two field windings F<1>, F, and the resistance R. The position 2 gives the second speed with the resistance R cut out, and, in the position 3, a resistance r, Fig. 4, which may be part of the larger one, is shunted round both fields. The field windings are next brought into the parallel position, Fig. 7, passing through two intermediate stages shown in Figs. 5 and 6 and corresponding to the positions 3<a>, 3<b> of the controller, and thus always leaving a complete circuit. Finally the fields are shunted by the resistance r.

Abstract: 25,979. Westmacott, A. Dec. 13. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. In carburettors of the type described in Specification No. 3613, A.D. 1905, in which the mixture of heavy oil spray and air pass through a tubular vaporizer on the way,to the engine, the heating at starting is effected by chemical means, thus avoiding the use of a flame. The invention consists in employing a lime or like cartridge through or round which the spray and air pass and into which water or other liquid is introduced ; several forms of the invention are described. Fig. 3 shows a carburettor with a mixing - chamber c and a vaporizer b and between them a chamber a<5> for receiving a lime cartridge d divided into two chambers d<2>, d<3>, the upper of which contains water and a piercer d<5> for a soft part of the partition d'. The chamber is closed by a door a<6> to which the cartridge is attached. The cartridge chamber may be situated above the vaporizer, in the cylinder cover around the admission valve, or on a by-pass from the carburettor, The water may enter a perforated ring which distributes it uniformly, and it may be admitted thereto by a needle valve instead of by a piercer, and a safety-valve may be provided for the escape of steam. The water chamber may be made separate from -the lime chamber, or it may be dispensed with and the water poured into the lime chamber.

Knitted fabrics.-A seamless stocking is made from a single main thread, and with the instep and front of the ankle formed of the open-work shown in Fig. 9, the rest of the article being ordinary fabric. Circular knitting-machines.-About one half the needle cylinder is occupied by groups of mis-stitch needles 4, Fig. 3, having extra butts 5, and spaced by single long-latched needles 6 and ordinary needles 2. The needles 4 draw loops similar to the needles 2, until lacework is to be made, when a cam 18, Fig. 6, is inserted, which engages the extra butts 5 and depresses the ordinary butts into the non-knitting track 19. The needles 4 are subsequently elevated by a cam 20 moved from the dotted-line position by hand or otherwise. The bars of thread left by the needles 4 are gathered into tuck stitches by the long-latched needles 6. These are elevated an insufficient amount to clear their loops by the ordinary knitting-cams. An auxiliary clearing-cam is therefore inserted at intervals into the knitting-track by a pattern-controlled star-wheel and edge cam, to clear the needles 6 of their accumulated loops.
