Title: Improvements in Warp-stop Motions for Looms for Weaving
Inventor: WHITTINGTON CECIL HENRY
Filed: 1905-12-01
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 24,947. Whittington, C. H., [Kip, F. E., and Greenwood, E.]. Dec. 1. Loom stop-motions ; h e a l d s. -In electro - magnetic warp stop - motion mechanism, the healds 28, Fig. 4, act as detectors, and consist of metallic strips with slots to receive upper and lower cross-bars 26, 25 of the heald frames 52, 53. The upper bar 26 is of conducting-material, and an insu-. lated conducting-strip 27 is fitted on its upper edge. The strip 27 and the bar 26 of each heald frame are electrically connected to rods 36, 37, of which the upper ends pass through a block 35 and are provided with contact-shoes. The blocks 35 slide vertically as the healds are operated, and are guided by guides 34. When a heald frame is in its lower position, the shoes on the rods 36, 37 make contact with fixed contact-pieces 32, 33, to which the ends of a circuit, including a battery 56, a switch 19, and an electro-magnet 9, are connected, the pieces 32, 33 being secured to an insulating-block. If a warp breaks or becomes unduly slack, its heald 28 is not raised by the warp tension when the heald frame is lowered, and the upper inclined edge of its upper slot touches the strip 27. Since the sides of the slot touch the bar 26, the electric circuit is completed and the magnet 9 is energized. The pivoted armature 11 of the magnet is depressed, and through a link 12 raises the back end of a dagger 13, which is pivoted on a pivoted knock-off lever 16, Fig. 3. The back end of the dagger normally passes through a slot 17<1> in a bunter 17 on the lay as the latter beats up, but when raised it is struck by the bunter, and the shipper lever 4 is disengaged from its usual notch by the lever 16, thus stopping the loom as described in Specification No. 3688, A.D. 1905. When the armature 11, Fig. 4, is depressed, a pin upon it is engaged by a notch in a spring-pressed lever 57, in order that the dagger may be held in position to be struck by the bunter until the lay beats up. The lever 57 may be moved to release the armature by hand, or by an arm on the shipper lever. A forked arm 63 on the shipper lever embraces a lever 62 of the switch 19, in order that the circuit may be broken when the loom is stopped. The lever 62 is returned to complete the circuit at this point when the shipper lever is moved to start the loom. Transverse rods are provided in the loom in front and at the back of the healds to support the warps, and prevent them from sagging under the weight of the healds. Specification No. 24,948, A.D. 1905, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Antipulsators for Gas Conduits
Inventor: THORP THOMAS
Filed: 1906-03-03
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 5194. Thorp, T. March 3. Pressure-regulating valves; check valves.-Relates to anti-pulsators for use in supplying gas to gasengines in connexion with rotary gas-meters of the type described in Specifications No. 20,214, A.D. 1901, and No. 9602, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Gas distribution], the invention being applicable to anti-pulsators constructed, as shown in Fig. 1, with diaphragms 2, 3 connected to springs 4, 5 as described in Specification No. 5791, A.D. 1905. The inlet valve consists of a disk 12, Figs. 1 and 3, which fits upon a seating or merely fills the supply passage, as shown, and the passage 13 is flared so as to give a gradual opening and closing action. The valve spindle is fitted at the top, or at the bottom, as shown, with a dash-pot device, and is provided with a collar 16 and a cap 18 between which the valve may slide on the spindle. When the gas-engine is started, gas is suddenly drawn from the anti-pulsator and the valve rises readily on the spindle against the action of the spring 17, the spiing causing the spindle and dash-pot piston to rise steadily until the collar 16 reaches the valve. The ready rising of the valve prevents the diaphragms from being drawn inwards to a damaging extent. The valve remains stationary and only rises or falls gradually if the consumption of gas or the supply pressure increases or decreases. The dash-pot device steadies the valve and prevents pulsations in the pipes which interfere with the correct registration by the meter. To prevent the rupture of the diaphragms in case of back-firing, the passage is fitted with a check valve 22, the weight of which is just supported by a spring 25, and as an additional safeguard a spring-loaded safety-valve 26 is fitted, or an hydraulic seal 27 is provided.

Filed: 1906-08-21
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 18,678. Richardson, W. A. Aug. 21. Semaphore signals are formed with an arm which rotates on its own axis to display a distinctive colour corresponding to the usual angular position into which the arm is also moved. Fig. 9 shows a front view partly in section, Fig. 3 a crosssectional view, and Fig. 10 a plan view partly in section. The arm 17, which may be of triangular section as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, or of square section in a modification, is mounted by a shaft 17<1> in bearings 18 carried by a plate 10, which is rotatable by the actuating-rod 7 upon a pivot 11 and so produces the usual angular movements of the arm 17 to 'danger,' 'cautioo,' and safety.' A wheel 21 provided with inclined teeth is mounted on the shaft 17', and engages with curved slots 20 in a fixed plate 9 to rotate the arm 17 as it is moved into its angular positions. The usual coloured lamp spectacles a, b, c are provided in the plate 10 for the lamp 16. A sliding plate 31 moves over the necessary slot 30 in the side of the case 28 during the angular movement of the arm 17 to cover the slot in all positions. A shield 23 of flat form, as shown in Fig. 6, or of barrel form as shown in Fig. 7, covers the back of the arm 17, and moves with it. A swallow tail 27 is formed upon the shield 23, and is painted a distinguishing colour (say black), and forms part of the indicating-face of the arm 17. The outer end of the arm 17 is carried on a pivot 25 on the shield extension 24. A connexion from the switch points to the operating-rod 7 may be made to ensure the simultaneous setting of signal and points.

Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 8380. Granichstaedten, R. April 10. Bottles, non- refillable.-Apparatus for delivering measured quantities of liquid, pills, powders, and the like from bottles &c. is fitted with counting - mechanism which locks the device after delivery of an amount equal to the capacity of the reservoir and prevents refilling during use. The device consists of a casing 1, Fig. 1, connected to the reservoir by a pipe 5 and having two measuring- chambers 9, 10, adapted to be brought by rotation into connexion alternately with the inlet 5 and outlet 6 by means of the openings 11, 12 and 14, 13 respectively, the number of deliveries being counted by a nut 18 with pointer 19 moving along a graduated slot in the casing, the graduation being numbered in both directions. Reverse movement is prevented by a ratchet and pawl 15, 16, and the chambers are locked against withdrawal by a groove 21 in the cover through which a wire is placed and sealed. A modified form is shown in Fig. 3 secured to a bottle, the measuring-chamber 33 being carried by a rotating sleeve 31 so as to be filled and emptied on opposite sides of the partition 27 in the apertured nozzle 28, which is screw-threaded to take the measuring-nut 29 working in slots in the casing 31. A ratchet-wheel 34 and pawl 35 to prevent reverse rotation are fitted between the casing 31, which is cemented to the bottle, and a plate 37, which is screwed to the casing and can only be removed by breaking the bottle. In a further modification. the measuring-chamber 47, Fig. 9, surrounds and carries the sleeve 50, having apertures as shown to be filled and emptied through corresponding apertures below and above the partition 46 in the nozzle 43 secured to the bottle. Accidental rotation of the measuring-chamber when upright may be prevented by a number of balls 42, Fig. 7, which lock between the teeth 40, 39 of concentric star wheels in the casing and nozzle respectively when in the upright position, but which on tilting run into the chamber formed by the ring 41 and allow the measure to be emptied. A check device as described above is fitted to lock the delivering-apparatus. In all cases, the number of measures delivered is equal to the capacity of the reservoir, and the rotation is locked when that number has been delivered, so that if liquid has been introduced by filling and tilting the measuring- device a corresponding quantity remains in the reservoir.
