Patent GB-190929540-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and applicable to Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: HUTCHINSON ROWLAND
IPC: D04B15/38
Filed: 1909-12-17
Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 29,540. Hutchinson, R. Dec. 17. Circular machines. - In the manufacture of seamless elastic goods on circular latch-needle rib machines, the required variation in the shape or size of the article is brought about by positively feeding a variable amount o f elastic thread per course, under control of the pattern mechanism. The elastic thread on its way to the work passes between a conical roll 8 and a follower 22, the roll 8 being carried round with the cam-cylinder and rotated by gearwheels 10, 11, 12, the position of the wheel 22 on the roll being determined by a traversing-screw 16. The wheel 22 is pivotally mounted in a frame 20, supported by a guide-rod 15 and the screw 16. The screw is operated through bevel-gear which may be rotated in either direction, to widen or narrow the goods, by means of star - wheels with opposed teeth engaged by strikers 25, 35 respectively. These strikers are directed into the path of the respective ratchets through the agency of a travelling pattern chain.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Displaying Advertisements, Information-sheets and the like.
Inventor: WRIGHT ARTHUR HARRY
IPC: G09F11/29
Filed: 1910-02-05
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 2885. Wright, A. H. Feb. 5. Reel and web apparatus.-An advertising or displaying band, travelling from one roller to another, is provided with a hand-operated multiplying driving-gear, tension or compression springs for maintaining the band taut, and one or more indicators for selective display purposes. A handle D, Fig. 1, operates an indicator lineally and drives the rollers through cords 4 and drums 2. As shown in Fig. 4, the handle D moves pulleys 9, which operate spring- attached cords on fusees 3. A rack 15, Fig. 9, with indicator attached, may rotate a gearwheel L, which drives the band rollers A, B. A rotary indicator and handle D, Fig. 12, operates a crown-toothed wheel 19, geared on opposite sides by a train of wheels to the band rollers. A handle E, Fig. 15, drives a shaft N with a screw 27, which carries a sleeve 24 in one direction or the other, thereby clutching at either end 26 and so changing the direction of travel of the band with the direction of rotation of the handle E. Elongated symbols G on the band are rendered normal by a mirror 31, and may be periodically hidden and disclosed by a shutter on a lever, which is controlled by a cam on one of the gear-wheels. Ratchet-wheels 41, Fig. 19, engage one or other of two oppositely inclined ratchet-teeth 42 on the two ends of a shaft N according to the direction of rotation of a handle E. Spring brakes 5 tension the display bands, and worm gearing 47 drives the indicator, which is either a pointer on a dial, or else a dial beneath an aperture. A pair of spring plates 52, Fig. 25, carrying pinions 51, frictionally grips a toothed wheel 23, which is driven by a shaft N. The direction of travel of the band depends upon the direction of rotation of the shaft N, and which pinion 51 is brought into operation. A cord with one or more springs F on it may be employed to act as an indicator, the springs being pointers. A rotary handle with barrels 54, Fig. 30, operates a cord o, which carries a pointer F. The barrel B is driven by toothed gearing, and the barrel A by cord-and-pulley gearing. Specification 19,154/08 is referred to.

Abstract: 28,630. Arndt, M. Dec. 19. Pyrometers.-In apparatus for use in measuring the volume of air or gases, such as air pyrometers, which effects the measurement at will by means of an independent gas or like pressure, the marking-device is automatically removed from the recording surface as soon as a definite pressure is obtained in the system. A bulb V<2>, situated in a flue &c., contains the gas to be measured, and communicates by tubes L<1>, L<2> with an air-chamber V and a manometer M respectively. The vessel V communicates with a vessel b connected by a tube A with a bulb D containing mercury, and by a tube c with a pressure tube C. A pressure medium having a pressure P may be introduced by a tube p to the bulb D. The recording-pen f is mounted on an arm e' connected by a pivoted link e<2> and a rod e<1> to a float s<1> moving in the tube C, the link e<2> resting on a stop e<3> when not in use. The device for disengaging the pen comprises a rod l<4> carried by a link l<3> mounted to move parallel to itself on a pivoted link l<1>, l<2>. The rod l<4> passes through a loop f<1> in the pen and is operated by a bell-crank lever r<1> connected to a float s<2> moving in the manometer M. To measure the volume, the tube p is opened, and the mercury rising in the tube a and the vessel b under the pressure P encloses a volume V<1> in the vessel V. Increase of pressure causes the mercury to rise in the tube C and the limb m<2>, the floats s<1>, s<2> rising and moving the pen f and the bell-crank r<1>. When a predetermined difference of levels H is reached in the two pressure tubes, the float s<2> is in such a position as to move the rod l<4> through the bell-crank lever and lift the pen from the paper. The construction of the apparatus is such that the stroke of the pen varies inversely as the volume V<r> remaining in the vessel V<1>. In a modification, air may be exhausted through the pipe p.
