Abstract: 16,683. Thompson, W. P., [Domestic Sewing Machine Co.]. July 28. Sewing- machines, governing n e ed lethread in. - The needle-thread tension is released by the lifting-lever of the presser - foot, only when the lever has practically reached the limit of its upward movement, and is not affected by smaller movements of the presser-foot due to the action of the feed or variations in the thickness of the work. The tension discs Hare mounted on the projection I on the plate K attached to or forming part of the head of the machine, the tension being adjustable by means of the thumb-nut L on the end of the rod or plunger M, which normally holds the discs together by the action of the spring N. The plunger M is connected to the upper end of the lever 0, which is actuated, to release the tension, by the supplemental cam Q on the presser-foot lever G. As the lever G is raised to lift the presser-foot, the cam Q enters the recess a in the lever O, and then rides over the convex part b of this lever, so operating the plunger M to release the tension.

Granted: 1904-11-10
Abstract: 17,835. Hondt, J. d'. Aug. 17. Jacquards.-In an open-shed jacquard, each hook has two limbs a, b having hooked ends a<1>, b<1>. The hooks work in guides C on supports S, which are pivoted to one or more vertically - adjustable plates E. There are two griffes A, B, the griffe A, which raises the hooks, rising as the griffe B, which lowers the books, descends, and rice versÔ. When a perforation of a card is presented to a needle D, the corresponding support S is not pushed back, and its hook a' is caught by the rising griffe A, so that the hook is raised. An indentation P on the limba causes the hooked end a<1> to be disengaged from the knife when the book is sufficiently raised, and the book is retained in its raised position, as long as perforations are presented to the needle, by an indentation P<1> on the limb b engaging the top of the support S. When an unperforated part of a card is presented to the needle D, the support S is pushed back, and, since the limb b comes against a fixed stop s, the indentation P' is disengaged, allowing the honk to descend with the griffe B to its lowest position, where it remains until a perforation is presented to the needle. The board E and the comber-board F remain fixed during the working of the machine.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Sorting or Preparing and Loading or Transhipping Nut-coal and similar Materials.
Inventor: RATH WILHELM
Filed: 1904-10-31
Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 23,488. Rath, W. Oct. 31. Sifting and sorting coal. -Relates to combined apparatus for screening and loading coal, modified apparatus being described in which water carriage is used in loading, so that the coal is also washed. No considerable differences of level occur in the apparatus. Coal is fed on to the first series of screens b, which deliver piece-coal on to a sorting- apron d and separate two larger qualities of nutcoal. The part f separates flat shale from the piececoal and deposits it on one side of the sorting- apron. The nut - coal passing through all the screens b is carried by the apron e to a second series of screens c, which separate two more varieties of nut-coal and discharge the smaller coal on to a travelling band r. The four qualities of nuts are passed to separate settling-boxes. When the above apparatus is not working, the coal is fed on to a screen a, which passes the piece-coal on to the apron d and allows the nut-coal to fall into a storage pit below, whence it can afterwards be raised by means of a bucket chain g, which discharges it down a funnel and shoot on to the screens b. The nut-coal is passed over other screens on its way to the trucks, being carried to the latter by aprons k and by shoots l of the kind described in Specifications No. 23,632, A.D. 1903, and No. 3360, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Lifting &c.]. To prevent interruption during the changing of trucks, the coal is at such times allowed to fall through flaps or shutters m at the ends of the screens into a bucket chain n, which stores it temporarily in funnels o. The apparatus may be modified so that coal is delivered to trucks standing on several lines of rail. The arrangement then employed is indicated in Fig. 12, which shows also combined washing and loading apparatus. The coal frum the settling-boxes is carried by water down the channels s on to screens u. The water passes through the screens to channels v, z, and the coal is delivered into the loading-shoots by feed-channels q. Reversing-devices p are provided to prevent interruption while trucks are being changed. Storage funnels o are also arranged, to which the coal is carried along channels s<1>. Screens u<1> separate the water and coal, the water falling into channels v<1>, z<1>. The coal that has passed with the water through the strainers u, u<1>, which remove water from the coarser grades, is carried by the channels v, v<1> to a bucket chain w, Fig. 15, which separates the coal and lifts it to a sieve or drum x. The coal is sorted into the three lower grades and conveyed to the corresponding shoots s, s<1>. The washing-water passes from the pit y<1> into the main pit y, which also receives water from the channels z, z<1>.
