Granted: 1903-04-23
Abstract: 4262. Donkin, R. Feb. 23. Driving-gear; steering-gear.-Relates to speedregulating and steering gear for launches and the like, of the kind described in Specification No. 9110, A.D. 1902, in which the steering and speed regulating are effected by rotary and transverse movements respectively of one and the same shaft. The shaft a, mounted in a casing d, engages a nut c, which, by rotation of the shaft, is caused to slide in the casing d, and thus operate the steering- lever H. The nut d is connected to the lever H, which is pivoted on a fixed shaft 9 by pivots c<1>, and the casing d is supported by bearings e sliding in slots e<1> in fixed arms f. In the normal position of the parts, the axis of the shaft a is at right-angles to the slots e<1>, and the pivots c' and bearings e are co-axial. By this construction, transverse speed-regulating movements of the shaft a have practically no effect on the position of the steering-lever. In a modification, Figs. 5 and 7, a worm c is slidingly keyed on the shaft a and gears with a worm segment formed on the lever H. Axial movement of the worm c is prevented by the casing d, in which it is mounted. The casing d is guided in a casing m and, as before, pivoted in bearings e sliding in fixed slots e<1>. In the normal position of the parts, the shaft a is perpendicular to the slots e', and the axis of the bearings e passes through the point of contact of the pitch lines of the worm and worm segment. The casing m is pivoted at g.

Abstract: 12,341. Walker, B. May 30. Looms, pile forming and cutting in.-The pile loops are formed by crossing the pile warp threads 6 over longitudinal wires 8, which extend through the reed 5, and have their reduced ends 16 supported in eyes 15 in uprights 9, which are fixed in a plate 10 carried by a cross-rail 12. The ends 16 of the wires 8 are secured in the eyes 15 by short pieces of wire passed through them and bent round, and the opposite ends of the wires 8 rest upon a cross-plate 14. The pile warps 6 are raised sufficiently high by the shedding-mechanism to pass between the teeth 21 of a comb 20, which is moved lengthwise in one direction by me ms of a forked lover 30, pivoted at 31, and acted upon by a cam 35, and is returned by a spring 38, so that the pile warps 6 are crossed and recrossed over the wires 8, being bound in at each crossing by a weft thread. The height of the pile is regulated by the depth of the wires 8, which may be changed using the same upright plate, or a plate with uprights of a different pitch may be used with a comb to correspond. When deep wires 8 are used, they are reduced in depth in front of the fell 25, and, in all cases, they are bent as shown. The loops may be cut by an arrangement similar to that described in Specification No. 14,987, A.D. 1902.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Looms.
Inventor: HEYS WILLIAM GEORGE
Filed: 1903-10-03
Granted: 1904-10-03
Abstract: 21,236. Heys, W. G., [Soc. Charles Tiberghein et fils]. Oct. 3. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism; stop-motions; starting mechanism.-Automatic looms are provided with means for stopping the loom and bringing the shuttle-changing mechanism into operation when a definite length of weft has been drawn from a shuttle. A disc h is mounted on a shaft which is slowly rotated at a regulated speed by spur, worm, and chain gearing from the crank or other shaft. When a roller l on a rod k meets a notch i in the disc, the rod k is drawn upwards by a spring, so that a projection m upon it acts upon an arm n fixed to a shaft o', causing a sector o on the shaft to move and permit a pivoted lever resting upon it to fall. A tooth p on the lever is engaged by the weft-fork hammer q, and a part w on which the lever is mounted is displaced, and moves forward a pivoted arm w<1> to which it is connected. The spring handle r is forced out of its detent r<1>, and engages a notch in a sliding piece s mounted on the arm w<1>. The curved end s<1> of the piece s is forced against a lever t fixed to a shaft t<1>, and is moved to rotate partially the shaft t<1>, and thus bring the shuttle-changing mechanism into operation. At the end of the shuttle-changing movement, the mechanism, through suitable devices, effects the upward movement of a rod u against the action of a spring. A hinged pawl v on the rod u acts on a pin on the disc h, turning the disc on its shaft, which motion is permitted by pins fixed to the shaft engaging in slots j in the disc. The roller l is forced out of the notch i, and the sector o is placed in position by a spring, raising the tooth p from the hammer q. A pawl x secures the disc h in position, and the continued upward movement of the rod u effects, through a crank or otherwise, the replacement of the spring handle r, so that the loom is re-started. When the loom starts, the rod u is permitted to descend.
