Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 15,410. Elmendorf, B., and Gabler, J. July 3. Weft - replenishing mechanism.-Relates to weft-feeler devices of the type wherein the weft feeler moves, at the moment of detection of substantial weft - exhaustion, in a direction parallel to the axis of the shuttle. The feeler k, furnished with blunt teeth, is connected by parallel links i, i<1> to the head h of a sliding bar c carried by a bracket b. If sufficient weft is present, when the lay moves forwards the feeler cannot slip sideways, but is moved backwards by the forwardly-moving bobbin, thus pressing backwards the slide c against the action of a spring f. A screw q on the slide c then engages the inclined part o of a spring-controlled lever m, which is thus rocked, a curved surface s thereon engaging a pin z on a pawl r and raising this pawl out of the path of the weft-hammer. When the weft is substantially exhausted, the feeler k is moved sideways and not backwards, so that the bar c and lever m are not actuated and the pawl r remains in the path of the weft-hammer, whereupon the weft-bobbin changing mechanism is actuated. The slide c may be guided by a bolt d, which engages a slot e in the bracket b.

Title: Improvements in Solenoids for Alternating Current.
IPC: H01F7/16
Filed: 1912-11-23
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 26,935. Major, C. G., and Smith, Major, & Stevens. Nov. 23. Electro - magnets.-To obtain silence, the movable cores of alternating-current solenoids are arranged so that the force of gravity is never in conflict with the resultant of the magnetic forces, and means are also provided to prevent vibration transverselv to the direction of core travel. The horizontal core 6. Figs. 1 and 2, is supported by non-magnetic endpieces 8, 9 in brackets 10, 11 and the air-gaps 14 between it and the lower laminations 4 are greater than those at 13 above the core so that the core is always pulled downwards magnetically. Guard-plates 16, 17 above the core prevent it from rising sufficiently to cancel the downward pull. The magnetic clamping-frames 1, 2 are carried outwards so as to leave wide airgaps 20, 21 opposite the core, whereby unbalanced transverse magnetic stresses are minimized. The core is guided by recesses in the brackets, as shown in Fig. 3, or by slots or a V-groove; or grooved rollers may replace the rigid support. Alternatively, it may be carried by swinging pivoted links or by flexible strips of metal. As shown in Fig. 6, it may rest upon short segments of flanged rollers formed upon the ends of pivoted links 22, 23. The actuated mechanism is connected to the member 26, so that there is no tendency to deflect the moving core from its rectilinear path.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Refrigerating Apparatus.
IPC: F25B17/06
Filed: 1912-11-30
Granted: 1914-03-02
Abstract: 27,598. Marks, E. C. R., [Iceless Refrigerator Co.]. Nov. 30. Actuating. - In absorption refrigerating- apparatus in which two drums act alternately as generator and absorber a fuel-gas supply valve supplying the burner under a drum is closed automatically as the burner is swung over from one drum to the other in changing functions and is opened again when the burner is underneath the second drum. For this purpose the burner tube carries an arcuate plate provided at its ends with inclined spring shoes acting as cams to engage the stem of the regulating-valve. The pressure of the shoes opens the valve against the resistance of a spring. In the intermediate positions of the plate the valve is closed, but an aperture in the valve disk allows gas to pass to provide a pilot flame. The supply of fuel gas is diminished in the event of excessive temperature in a drum by the expansion of a fluid in a tube arranged in the discharge pipe from the drums distending a diaphragm, thereby operating a lever to withdraw the spring shoe engaging the valve-stem. Check valves usable as stop-valves.-The pipes leading to and from the drums are fitted with check valves shown in Fig. 11, in which a ball 89 rests on a self-cleaning knife-edge valve seating on a tubular plug 88. The ball may be held on its seat by the depression, by an expansible fluid, of a thin metal diaphragm 94 carrying a stem 91. The diaphragm is secured by a cap 96 to a sleeve 92 on the valve casing 87, a perforation in the sleeve ensuring atmospheric pressure below the diaphragm. The rod 91 is surrounded by elastic packing between metal washers 100, and a spring 101 is placed between the upper washer and the diaphragm. The cheek valve, Fig. 16, may be held down on its seating when desired, by a screw plug 161 having a stem projecting through a stuffing-box 162. A cap 163 attached to the casing prevents tampering. Safety-valves.-Fig. 14 shows a relief valve comprising a ball 177 pressed on to a seating 176 by a spring 178. The tension of the spring is adjusted by a plug 179, which is secured by a ring bolt 181 and a lock 182. The valve permits the escape of gas if the gas generated reaches an excessive pressure. The ball can be forced away from its seat to purge the apparatus by a screwed stem 183.
