Title: Improvements in Drop Box Motions for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HEYWORTH ERNEST
Filed: 1898-06-07
Granted: 1899-06-02
Abstract: 12,689. Heyworth, E. June 7. Loom change-box motions.-To reduce the length of pattern chain in cases where a constant repetition of pattern is required, one or more of the lags of the pattern chain a are caused to repeat by reversing the rotation of, and longitudinally shifting, the pattern chain barrel a<1>. An auxiliary pattern chain b is carried by a barrel at the opposite side of a spur-wheel c, operated by a pinion c on the crank shaft c<2>. The barrel a<1> is shifted longitudinally, to bring the rows of pegs or holes opposite to swinging levers e<1>, e<2>, e<3>, by a lever d operated by a cam d<1> on a shaft f<8> which is driven by bevel gearing f<7>, f<6> and a star-wheel f<5>, Fig. 2, from a stud g<1> on a pulley g, mounted loosely upon the boss of the wheel c and driven by it. Another star-wheel f<2> is geared to the star-wheel f<5> by two intermediate pinions, and is driven by another stud g<1> at the opposite side of the pulley g. The starwheel f<2> operates, by means of a stud, the starwheel f on the pattern barrel a<1>, which is thus driven in opposite directions by the studs g<1> on opposite sides of the pulley g. This pulley also actuates a star-wheel b<2> on the auxiliary pattern barrel and is shifted upon its axis by a lever h, operated for this purpose by the lever e<3>, and for reversing and shifting the barrel a<1> by another lever h<1> acting in conjunction with the pattern chain b. For rotating the shuttle-box cams p, p<1>, which are secured to gap-wheels l<1> mounted loosely upon the shaft m of the pattern barrel, the levers e', e<2> act upon cam faces k<1> on levers k, which carry laterally-movable segments i<1> on discs i upon the boss of the spur-wheel c. This action causes the segments to act upon projections l<3> in the gaps l<2> of the wheels l<1>, and brings the teeth of these wheels into gear with the teeth l formed on the discs i below the segments. The levers e<1>, e<2>, e<3> are lifted clear from the pegs on the pattern chain a' by a pin n' on a cam-actuated lever, and the starwheels f<2>, f<5> are held in position by a cam-actuated spring lever o. When the shuttle-box cams are side by side, as shown, one of their rods q is connected to a lever at the bottom of the loom frame and the other to an intermediate lever pivoted to the first lever and connected to the drop-box rod.

Abstract: 19,262. Shaw, E. Sept. 9. Confectionery or sweetmeats.-Relates to apparatus such as is described in Specification No. 5803, A.D. 1898, for cooking syrup for use in the manufacture of sweetmeats. The syrup is treated while passing through a coil 3 contained in a steamheated chamber 4, and the coil discharges into a chamber 5 which communicates through a tube 6 with a condenser which is connected with an air pump so that the operation is conducted under reduced pressure. In the pipe leading from the condenser to the pipe 6 is a valve which is intermittently operated by special mechanism connected with the feed-pump so that, for intervals, the communication with the condenser is cut off and the pressure rises sufficiently high in the chamber 5 to open the valve 11 and allow the syrup to escape. The pipe conveying the liquid from the feed-pump to the coil 3 has a loaded valve in it as described in Specification No. 21,300, A.D. 1858. This valve only opens against a pressure higher then that of the atmosphere, in order to prevent atmospheric pressure producing irregularities in the feed of the syrup.

Granted: 1900-09-15
Abstract: 4661. Steffen, C. March 12. Refining sugar.-Impure syrup obtained during the manufacture or refining of sugar is heated in a vacuum apparatus to a temperature exceeding 70‹ C. by means of a steam jacket or heating-pipe, communication with the exhausting-pump being cut off during the heating operation. Before being heated to the desired temperature, the syrup should be concentrated so as to obtain a solution which will form a saturated saccharine syrup at the given temperature. The syrup is stirred quickly by means of an agitator fitted to the vacuum apparatus, and powdered sugar is fed into the syrup from a hopper. After the powdered sugar has been mixed with the syrup, the heating-steam is shut off from the jacket or pipe, and the vacuum apparatus is put into communication with the exhausting-pump until the temperature of the syrup has fallen to about 75‹ C., when communication with the exhausting-pump is cut off and the syrup again heated to the higher temperature. These operations are repeated until the syrup has been sufficiently concentrated, when it is finally machined.
