Patent GB-190827133-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Weighing Machines.
Inventor: CROSS WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-12-14
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 27,133. Cross, W., [Maatschappij Tot Voortzetting van de Zaken der Firma Ruhaak & Co.]. Dec. 14. Automatic-feed weighers; liquid-weighers.-The liquid is delivered from a pivoted spout 16 alternately to each of two overlapping receptacles 1, 2 rigidly fixed at an angle to one another as shown, and adapted to tilt on knife-edges 4 situated at right-angles to the common side of the receptacles and centrally of the combined receptacles. Thus one side, for example the left-hand side of receptacle 1, will when the receptacle is horizontal contain a greater weight of liquid than the other side; and to balance this, weights 17 are so arranged on each receptacle that the plane passing through the supporting knife-edges 4 and the centres of the weights 17 divides the combined receptacles into parts of equal weight. A sliding weight 20 affords means of adjusting the centre of gravity of the combined receptacles over the knife-edges. When the full weight of liquid has entered, the receptacle tilts and a valve spindle 12 coming in contact with a stop 27 opens a valve in the base of the receptacle, the liquid following into a tank 7 and thence into a collecting-vessel 8. Meanwhile the tilting of the receptacle switches over the spout 16 to fill the second receptacle. Vibration, neutralizing.-To cushion the descent of the vessel, a stop 28 attached to a pivoted floatlever 35 comes in contact with a spring buffer 29 connected to one end of a pivoted float-lever 32. As the liquid rises in the tank 7, the float 33 ascends, swings the buffer from under the stop 28, and allows the receptacle to tilt its full amount until gently arrested by a rigid stop attached to the frame. Meanwhile, the float 36 has removed the stop 28, and, as the tank 7 empties, the buffer 22 returns to its original position. Indicating and registering mechanism.-The rise of liquid in the tank 7 operates a float 38 attached to a rod 37, which operates a counting-mechanism in the usual way.

Title: Improvements in or appertaining to Automatic Weft Replenishing Looms.
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1909-01-01
Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 6. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. Jan. 1. Drawings to Specification. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In looms provided with detector mechanism to cause weft - replenishment just before complete exhaustion of weft from the shuttle, a centre fork or detector, which acts amongst the warp threads and preferably at the middle of the lay, stops the loom if the weft breaks, whatever the direction of the pick, the stoppage occurring before the incomplete pick has been fully beaten-up. An ordinary weft fork is also used at the supply side of the loom. The detector mechanism causes a controller to swing on the horizontal pivot when the weft is sufficiently exhausted, thereby elevating a dagger pivoted to an arm on the starting-shaft into the path of a weft-fork hammer. The starting-shaft, provided with a sleeve turning on the stop-rod, is thus rocked, and a rearwardly-extending arm on the opposite end of this shaft brings the weft-replenishing and an ordinary thread-cutting mechanism into action. The stop-rod extends to the change side of the loom, and may be rocked by the side weft-fork mechanism, an arm on the stop-rod hooking over the lever and moving the shipper handle from its holding-notch.

Title: Improvements in Magazine Electric Arc Lamps.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1909-06-30
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 15,287. Johnson & Phillips, and Brockie, J. June 30. Arc lamps.-Inclined and pivoted magazines are connected to a regulating-lever by gearing, such as a link c<1> and toggle arms e<1>, e<3>, Fig. 5, or a cam f, Fig. 5<a>, which has little or no effect on the magazines when they are close together, thus allowing the lever freedom in actuating a switch controlling the feeding-device. The lever may be regulated by series and shunt solenoids or by electro-magnets m, s, Fig. 11, of which the lever c, shown in broken lines, carries the armatures. A pin on the lever c can engage an arm i carrying one contact of the switch, wbich is in series with a shunt electromagnet. A pin h<2> on the swinging armature of this electro-magnet is connected by a throw-over spring to an arm h carrying the second contact of the switch. The same armature is connected to a pawl acting on a ratchet-wheel on an horizontal shaft, which through worm gearing g<4>, Fig. 2, drives chain-wheels g<5> on the magazines. Each magazine has two sections from which electrodes are fed alternately by chains each carrying one outwardly-projecting tappet. The electrodes in the magazine are engaged by spring arms j<1> which during trimming are held out of the way by catches j<5>. Each spring arm, or one of them, actuates a link j<4> and a pin j<2> which projects into the path of one tappet when the last electrode in the magazine is being fed, and subsequently arrests the chains in a position convenient for trimming. The burning electrodes are fed with current by rollers or blocks a<2> on spring arms. The regulating lever, electromagnets, switch, and cut-out are mounted in a frame o preferably movable from the lamp. Specification 3233/83 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Rotary Electric Converters.
IPC: H02K47/08
Filed: 1909-07-28
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 17,564. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 28. Commutating poles and windings; rotary converters.-In dynamo-electric machines in which motor current is delivered to, and generator current taken from, the armature, unwound commutating-poles are located at the points of commutation of the generated current and are magnetized by the resultant armature reaction. In order that the magnetization of the commutating- poles f<1> may be produced by the armature reaction due to the alternating-current'fed through the sliprings C, the rotary converter may be caused to deliver mechanical power through a belt G. In rotary converters of the split - pole type, the preponderance of the alternating-current armature reaction over the direct-current armature reaction is obtained by varying the distribution of the field, flux, or by shifting this flux with respect to the brushes. In the latter case, the component of the field magnetization along the line of brushes is made to assist the magnetization due to the alternating-current. The converter may be used as a self-exciting synchronous motor, the direct current generated being supplied only to the field windingsf.

Abstract: 7204. Chater, J. E. March 22. Connecting uppers to insoles and soles. - A solid lip is formed on one side of an inner sole, by moulding and subsequently vulcanizing under pressure. The insole is preferably formed of laminµ. For example, a layer C of cork, felt, canvas, &c., of the shape of the insole, is placed in a mould, in which is a recess corresponding to the lip to be formed; rubber or equivalent vulcanizable material B in a plastic state is spread over this, and a smooth layer A of canvas, cork, felt, &c. is laid thereon. The mould is then closed and submitted to pressure and heat. The plastic material then fills the recess in the mould, forming a solid lip F, and squeezing up around the edge of-the layer A. The upper surface of the completed insole is left quite smooth or conforming to the foot, according to the formation of the mould used. The portion of the layer C surrounding the lip serves to strengthen it, and may extend only up one face of the lip. Alternatively, it may be dispensed with, a narrow strip of the material being used; strengthening-material is also embedded in the middle of the lip when necessary. Fig. 2 shows a section of an ordinary shoe in which the insole is used. The upper K, lining, and welt H are sewn to the solid lip F, the stitches passing only through the outer portion of the lip. The rubber layer B presses against the lining, and the whole forms a waterproof joint. Fig. 5 shows a section of a rubber-soled turn-shoe, the layer A having been omitted. In a modification, for use in turned shoes, the insole is extended around its edges to form a welt to which an insole may be stitched.
