Pile-fabric looms.-In looms of the type described in Specifications 15,901/06, 16,009/09, and 20,983/10, for weaving knot-stitch carpets, wherein the yarn, held in a distributor y, Fig. 1, is drawn off by means of a gripper v, Figs. 1, 6, and 7, and is looped round the warp threads by means of hooks, a rod k, pushing-bar or other device actuated by cams and levers acts upon the yarn between the distributor and gripper so as to form a loop and increased length of yarn between the hooks, the rod &c. being adjusted so as to give a longer or shorter length of tuft pile. The rods k, of flat spring steel, are provided with collars l acted upon by springs u and provided with studs working in slots in brackets o, whereby the rods are normally pressed against the grippers v. The rods are connected to levers g on a shaft i rocked by lever mechanism h, g, d from a cam c on the cam-shaft of the knotting-apparatus, an adjustable stop f<1> limiting the movement of the spring-controlled lever d. Studs s carried by the rods k engage angular slots r in brackets q, so that, when the grippers v move away from the distributors, the bars k first move horizontally, and then they move vertically to form the loops.

Abstract: 25,381. Newitt, E. J. D. Dec. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Sights. -Relates to backsights which are capable of giving only a selected number, preferably two, lines of sight when used with a single foresight, and consists in a battle-sight in which the parts are so proportioned that the two or more lines of sight are suited for man targets of different heights, such as erect and prone men. Means are provided to ensure that the sight shall be usable in only one sight-line at a time. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a rotary disk 19 has an eccentric sighting - aperture 20 which can be made to register with a vertical slot 12 in a back-plate 11 in either an upper or lower position. In a modification, shown in Fig. 8, a pivoted member 24 has two apertures 27, 28, either one of which can be brought into register with a vertical slot 12 in the back-plate 11. In other modifications, the back-plate has two apertures, one of which is closed by a hinged or sliding shutter. The whole sight may be vertically adjustable on its mounting for zeroizing purposes. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an alternative pattern, Figs. 8 and 9 (cancelled), of the sight shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Title: An Improved Method of Charging Condensers in Parallel and Discharging them in Series.
IPC: H02M1/10
Filed: 1912-12-20
Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 29,375. Compagnie GÚnÚral RadiotÚlÚgraphique. Dec. 21, 1911, [Convention date]. Distributing by condensers.-Two condensers or groups of condensers are charged in parallel and discharged in series by reversing the polarity of one of the condensers or groups of condensers after it has been charged. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the condensers c, d are charged in parallel, through resistances w, from the mains v, after which the polarity of the condenser c is reversed by allowing it to discharge for a semioscillation through a spark-gap f and inductance t. The condensers c, d are then discharged in series through a pair of spark-gaps g and primary coil s, the secondary of which is coupled to an aerial. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the spark-gap f and inductance t are replaced by a mercuryvapour lamp q provided with a starting-terminal z connected to the secondary winding of an induction coil i, the primary winding of which is connected to a battery b through a switch m and interrupter o. The interrupter o may be replaced by a rotary switch ; or the induction coil may be actuated by a Duddell arc. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the starting-terminal z of the lamp q is connected to the secondary winding of a Tesla transformer i, the primary winding of which is connected across the supply mains through a condenser k, rheostat x, and switch m. The primary winding of the transformer is arranged to be short-circuited by a switch a, which is closed at a suitable phase of the current by means of a synchronous motor or the main dynamo. For wireless telegraphy using currents of a frequency of about five hundred, the switch a can be replaced by a spark-gap. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 4, the lamp q is provided with two starting-terminals y, z, the former being connected to the secondary winding of an induction coil i, the primary winding of which is controlled by a switch a. One terminal of the lamp q is connected to a continuous-current supply through an inductance n. When the lamp q is started, by the movable contact of the switch a closing the circuit of the primary winding of the induction coil i, current passes through the inductance n. The switch a is then actuated to place the condensers c, d in series with the inductance n and to extinguish the lamp. The condensers are charged by the voltage due to the self-induction of the inductance n, and the polarity of the condenser c is then reversed through the spark-gap e, the two condensers being discharged in series through the coil s.

Low - pressure metallic - vapour apparatus.-A curved or angular silica tube a, partly or wholly occupied by a continuous column of mercury when out of use, is turned about an horizontal axis at starting, so that most of the mercury flows into a bulb a<1> inaccessible to vapour. Fig. 2 shows the tube in the working position, and Fig. 4 in out-of-work position and in end view. Closed electrode-receptacles 15 project upwards from the ends of the tube. After extinction, the vapour pressure in the tube prevents the return of mercury from the bulb a' until the tube has cooled down, so that re-lighting is rendered more certain. Brackets 17 carrying the tube are attached to a frame 10, which is pivoted at 24 to arms 9 on a base-plate 1. Adjustably jointed to an arm on the pivoted frame 10 is a strut 23 adjustable in length and supporting the armature 20 of a series electro-magnet 2, no shunt coils or contacts being used. A suspension yoke 8 is attached to the base-plate, which carries the electro-magnet and resistances 3. The tube can be used as an intermittent lighthouse or beacon lamp.
