Abstract: 30,308. McKean, J. O. Dec. 28. Stop-motions.-Relates to a winding-machine stop-motion of the type in which a serrated bar, coacting with a slide or catch and pivotally connected at one end with the cop-holder, is arranged to raise the cop from its driving- roll automatically when it has attained a predetermined diameter or when the thread breaks. The copholder 1 which is pivoted on a rod 3 carries an arm 29 to which is pivoted a bar 30 serrated on its lower edge 33 and passing through a slot in an arm 31 pivoted on a rod 38. As the cop grows, the bar 30 moves idly through the slot until when the cop has reached a predetermined size a projection 34 on the handle 32 of the rod tilts a weighted lever 36, and takes an arm 43 out of engagement with a drop hook 44, which falls into the path of a yibrating arm 45. The arm 45 engages the hook 44, and tilts a lever 39 which is pivoted on the rod 38 and which carries lugs 40 embracing the arm 31. The arm 31 is thereby tilted, the slotted arm engages the teeth 33, and the bar 30 is carried over to the left, lifting the cop-holder 1. The hook 44 and lever 36 are both carried by the lever 39. The thread passes through an eye 48, and supports a second drop-hook 47 similar to the hook 44. When the thread breaks, the hook 47 falls into the path of a second vibrating arm. The hook 47 is mounted on the same rod 46 as the hook 44, and, when the vibrating arm engages it, the rod 30, is operated in the manner described above.

Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 17,345. Dennison, W. M. Aug. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Driving. - Constant linear velocity of the record under the stylus is obtained by frictionally rotating the turntable and feeding the friction wheel radially of the turntable by the traverse of the tone-arm and stylus across the record. The turntable 8 is detachably secured to a short shaft 7, carrying at its lower end a cone 44, which is rotated by a friction wheel 40 slidably mounted upon a worm shaft 20 receiving its rotation from a motor 15. The tone-arm 12 carries a segmental gear 73 engaging a gear-wheel 72 on a shaft 70 journaled at 71 and detachably connected by a sliding sleeve 67 with a co-axial shaft 63, journaled at 64 and provided with a gear-wheel 61. The latter gear - wheel 61 drives a pinion 60 on a rapid-screw shaft 52, which traverses a nut 51 connected by arms 50 with the friction roller 40, whereby the friction roller 40 is moved radially of the cone 44. As the tone-arm and stylus move towards the centre of the record, the friction wheel 40 is moved towards the centre of the cone 44, and thus gradually increases the angular velocity of the turntable to keep the linear velocity of the turntable constant. The weight of the turntable 8, with the record and cone 44 is supported by the friction roller 40. A governor 33 receives rotation from the worm shaft 20 through a worm 25 and worm-wheel 24, a screw button 38 controlling the speed through a brake lever 36. The sliding sleeve 67, when engaging with the short shaft 70, transmits the lateral movement of the tone-arm to the friction wheel 40, and thus produces the constant linear velocity of the turntable. By locking the sleeve 67 in its lower position, the friction wheel 40 is held in any position determined by the position of the tone-arm on the record, and thus the turntable may then be driven at a constant angular velocity.
