Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 29,150. Hecker, A., and Ungeth³m, P. Dec. 18. [Addition to 24,352/12.] Embroidery machines.-Consists of detail improvements in apparatus for replacing used needles in a Heilmann embroidery machine by freshly-threaded needles. The apparatus is arranged upon a carriage C which runs upon a pair of rails 1, 3. From the front of the upper rail 1, a series of rollers project into the path of a cam-ridge on a drum 25. Part of this ridge is helical and causes the step-by-step movement of the carriage across the machine. The remainder is level and holds the carriage stationary while the needles are being changed. The needles are transferred by symmetrical jaws 30 normally held open by a spring 40 and closed to grip the needles by a pin 39 on a camoperated lever. There are two such jaws, the one that removes the used needles being actuated to grip the needle in the clip B, remove it to a position above the receptacle 76, and then drop it. The other closes upon a needle presented to it in a cushion 74, removes it from the same, and then places it in a clip B from which the used needle has been previously removed. Both jaws are swung together being mounted on a frame 29 pivoted at 33 and having a cam-engaging extension 34. Two adjacent clips B are opened suitably by cam-rods 46, 47. The needle-removing jaws pass between the equal parts of a pair of scissors 64 and through a light brush 72. On the return movement, the brush straightens out the thread-end remaining in the needle. and the scissors 64 are caused by a rod 68 to cut the thread-end off. The driving-shaft 4, to which the gear-wheel 5 is splined, is mounted so that it can be lowered by hand to take the wheel 5 out of gear with the wheel 21.

Abstract: 8593. Hoeft, M. O. April 11. Fluid speed indicators.-In apparatus in which liquid is forced by a pump into an indicating-cylinder, the variations in the physical character of the liquid induced by changes of temperature are counteracted by controlling the valves of the pump so as to vary the quantity of liquid delivered to the indicating- cylinder. The rotary valves 6 move in consonance with the driving-shaft 1 and are provided with inlet and outlet openings 10, 11 which decrease in section so that, when the valves are moved longitudinally against springs 9, the supply of fluid to the pipe 8 is varied. Movement of the valves is effected by tappets 13 connected to a body 12, the dimensions of which are affected by changes of temperature. In a modification shown in Fig. 4, the suction valves 6<1> are prevented from closing for a period determined by the body 12 which produces longitudinal movement in conical rotary eccentrically-mounted tappets 13'. In a second modification, an auxiliary valve, similarly operated by the tappets 13<1>, is provided for each valve 6<1>.
