Title: Improvements in Mules and Twiners for Spinning Yarn.
Inventor: WHITEHEAD PHILIP BRUCE
Filed: 1906-11-20
Granted: 1907-11-20
Abstract: 26,239. Whitehead, P. B. Nov. 20. Mules and twiners.-To prevent the yarn from becoming slack and consequently forming snarls at the moment backing-off commences, the counterfaller is raised against the yarn to put tension thereon, before the backing-off movement of the winding-faller commences. The usual link d connects the counterfaller D to the weighted lever D<1> pivoted on the carriage, and this lever is connected by a chain d' to the end of a pivoted lever C<1> carrying a sliding-block F, which is connected by an inclined link c to the winding-faller at a point approximately above the free end of the lever C<1>. A cord G passes from the block F to a latch H on the carriage B, and another latch H<1> on the headstock A is normally depressed by a spring and connected by a cord k to the backing-off rod E, or in some cases, to the strap fork, to a spring controlled by the twist wheel, or to a bowl working on an incline on the headstock or floor. At the end of the outward run, the latches H, H<1> engage, and the movement of the rod E then acts to draw the block F along the lever C' against the spring M, thus lengthening the effective connexion between the winding-faller and lever D<1>, which consequently descends and raises the counterfaller.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Change Speed Gears particularly for Cycles and the like.
Inventor: GRIFFIN FRANCIS ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-01-30
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 2337. Griffin, F. A. Jan. 30. Driving-mechanism.-In a variable-speed gear of any type for motor-cycles &c., an overrunning clutch is used in conjunction with each positive clutch, so that there is no neutral position during the changing of the gear, while when the parts are fully engaged overrunning is rendered impossible. As shown in the two-speed gear represented in Fig. 1, a clutch-piece P with pawls R, ratchet teeth T, and positive clutch dogs W, X is connected by ribs 0 upon an extension D' to the sun-pinion D, so that the clutch-piece is capable of sliding, but not of rotating, relatively to the pinion. A fixed clutch member V, locked to the spindle by engagement with teeth V<1> cut thereon or in any other convenient manner, is formed with dogs X' and carries pawls U, while the planet-pinion carrier, bolted to the hub, is provided with ratchet teeth S and dogs W'. For the low speed, the parts are in the position shown, when the pawls U and teeth T. and dogs X, X<1> are in engagement, so that the sunpinion is held stationary. On sliding the piece P towards the left, the dogs are first disengaged, but before the pawls U leave the teeth T, the pawls R engage the teeth S ; the final stage of the movement brings the dogs W, W<1> into engagement and disengages the parts U, T. The sun-pinion is thus locked to the hub which is driven direct. The planet-pinions need not be of the compound type.

Inventor: SCHOENBRENNER HEINRICH
Filed: 1907-07-02
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 15,226. Sch÷nbrenner, H. July 2. Loom let-off motions; take-up motions; warp tension, regulating.-Relates to a pile warp let-off motion, in which the action of a brake on the pile warp beam varies in accordance with the tension on the pile warp. The warp 16 is drawn from the beam and over a slide bolt 1, held in arms 2 on the shaft 3 by rollers 4, 18, which are geared together and are driven from the cloth beam 20. The arms 2 are connected by bands 5 with pulleys 6 on the shaft 7 of a third pulley 8, from which a weight 10 is suspended. When the tension on the pile warp increases, the slide bolt 1 is moved to the right against the action of the weight 10, and a projection 11 raises a weighted lever 12, to which one end of the band brake 14 is fixed, thus diminishing the action of the brake. When the tension decreases, the action of the brake is increased. The warp passes from the delivery rollers over a roller 19 journaled in arms 27 seated on the shaft of the roller 18 ; this shaft carries also an arm 28 connected to a spring-controlled rod 29.

Abstract: 19,060. Surtees, R. T. Aug. 24. Reinforced concrete ; girders ; columns ; floors.- Bonds or stirrups are made with closed loops formed by bending the bars once or twice around and closely fitting the main bars, which are of angular section to prevent the bonds from shifting. Fig. 2 shows a bond formed of flat iron, the arms being notched where they cross and their ends bent outwards. Any tendency of the arms to separate increases the grip of the loops on the bars. Fig. 3 shows a bond made of twisted square or flat iron. Round iron may be used, and the arms may be twisted, welded, or riveted together at the crossing point, and their ends bent out of the plane of the bond. For inclined bonds the loops may be canted as shown in Fig. 11. The ends of the arms may be joined so as to form a second loop, Figs. 14 and 16, or the arms may converge or diverge with free ends. Fig. 6 shows the application to a column, and Fig. 8 shows a reinforcement for a floor or beam.

Abstract: 22,299. MacKaskie, P. M., and Pittman, K. Oct. 9. Movable-abutment type with rocking abutments. Relates to valve and governing gear for rotary explosion engines, especially engines of the type described. Between the two halves 10, 11 of a casing revolves a disk 16 carrying piston blocks 15. Abutments with passages for the disks are rocked by means of a slide 20 actuated by an arm 31, working in an opening 28 in the slide, shaped so that the abutment is held stationary for the explosion, or the passage of the piston, and then moved. An explosion chamber 75 is provided to which gasolene and air are admitted by pipes 81, 79, provided with valves 83, 82, and communicating with pipes 101, 100 surrounding the casing. The valves 82, 83 and a valve 88 in an exhaust pipe 89 are connected to a bar 85 provided with a pin 121 passing through an angular slot in a plate 119 attached to a circular rod 103 passing round the casing. Similar valves and gearing are provided for driving the engine in the opposite direction. The valve-rods are actuated by tappets 113, 114 on an arm 109 carried on a rock-shaft 51. The tappets are carried on a block 110 adjustable by a screw so as to engage either valve-rod or neither. Fig. 8<a> shows an arrangement of the rod 109 in which the screw adjusting the block 110 is operated by bevel-gear connected with the loose sleeve M by a pin H working in a gap in the sleeve M so as not to be interfered with by the rocking of the shaft 51. The shaft 51 is actuated by a hook 48 on a bent lever 46 carried by a rocking arm 42 journaled on the shaft of the engine and driven therefrom as shown. The hook 48 is disengaged by the tail of the lever 46 striking against a piece 53 in the circumference of the casing 10. The position of the piece 53, and therefore the time for which the valve remains open, is regulated by a governor on the shaft of the engine. For this purpose the piece 53 is connected by a link 56 within an arm 57 adjustably connected to the sleeve 58 by a slotted disk 72 and a latch. The sleeve 58 carries a fork 60 engaging with a lever 61 connected to a collar 62 operated by the governor 67.

Abstract: 10,232. Jones, H. Sefton-, [Adder Machine Co.]. May 11. Calculating - a p p aratus.-In adding-machines of the Wales type described in Specifications No. 21,178, A.D. 1902, and Nos. 14,115 and 14,116, A.D. 1905, means, under the control of the operating - handle and total key, are provided to prevent any disengagement of the totalizing-counter and actuating-racks during any co - operative movement thereof, whether for registering an item, taking a total, or taking a sub-total. The numeral wheels 31 are mounted on arms 300, each having a catch 303 adapted to engage the latch 342 of a bellcrank lever 340 ; to the other end of the arm is attached a lever 310 having engagement by means of a slot 311 with a bail 312 upon a swing- ing arm 313. To the bail tail is pivoted a link 315 attached at its other end to a sector 41 mounted on the main shaft 40. The bail 312 slides in a slotted link 323 attached to a leg 320, of which there are two, depending from the main cutter spindle 32 normally resting on supports 324. To the lever 310 a slotted lever 316 is pivoted, the other end 317 being attached to a lever 330, the ear 332 of which engages the pin 343 on the bell-crank 340. After the keys have been set, the sbaft 40 is vibrated, causing the bail 312 to move to the right along the slot 323, and during this motion the link 316 oscillates the lever 330 and allows the latch 342 to move under the catch 303; when the bail 312 reaches the end of the slot 323, the leg 320 is withdrawn from the support 324, whereupon the wheels and racks engage, the latch 342 simultaneously moving to the locking position, Fig. 5 ; further movement is prevented by the stop 345 on the bellcrank lever 397, the lower end of which lever moves under the roller 381 on the leg 320. The reverse movement unlocks the catch and restores all the parts to their normal position. A latch lever 395 is attached to the bell-crank lever 397 and has a notch 394 adapted to engage the pin 393 of the bell-crank lever 392 attached to the totalizing key ; the lever 392 is provided with a link 38 connecting it to the leg 320. When a total is to be taken, the wheels must engage with the racks at the beginning of the forward stroke ; depression of the totals key 39 disengages the leg 320 from its support 324, and as the handle is rotated the lever 310 falls and allows the wheels and racks to engage as before.
