Patent GB-191218727-A (GB)
Title: Safety Connections for Gas Fixtures.
Inventor: GREY GERALD DE
IPC: F16L37/248
Filed: 1912-08-15
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 18,727. Grey, G. de. Aug. 15, 1911, [Convention date]. Supporting.-A coupling of the type in which a non-return valve is retained open while the parts are assembled for use but is automatically closed when the parts are disconnected is employed for connecting two parts of a gas-pipe together and comprises two elements telescoping one within the other, the gas-valve being arranged to be opened when the elements are locked together. In one arrangement, the gaspipe 8, Fig. 1, engages a socket 7 connected to the gas-bracket by a goose neck 4, and is locked thereto by a bayonet-fastening 10, 11. A valve 23 having a facing-washer is normally forced against the end of a tube 18 within the socket 7 by a coiled spring inserted round the tubular stem 20 of the valve and between an internal flange 19 on the tube 18 and a sleeve 21 carried by the stem 20. The valve is opened by the inner tubular member 8 pressing against a rubber or other disk 27 at the end of the sleeve 21. The sleeve 18 is secured into a metal sleeve secured by a rubber sleeve 16 in the socket 7.
Patent GB-191218953-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Picking Motions of Looms.
Inventor: YARBROUGH JOHN EUGENE
IPC: D03D49/34
Filed: 1912-08-19
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 18,953. Yarbrough, J. E. Aug. 19. Picking-motions; pickers etc.; checking shuttles; beat-up motions.-Picking-mechanism comprises a cylinder in which a partial vacuum is created and a piston which is released at the proper moment to move under atmospheric pressure to effect the picking, the vacuum being created in such a manner that, when the loom is stopped, the lay tends to come to rest with the crank at or near the bottom centre and buffer devices being provided for checking the shuttle. In one arrangement, an horizontal cylinder 3 is mounted at each end of the lay and may have its open end closed by a cap 4 with perforations 5. The piston-rod 7 passes through a stuffing-box 8 and is connected to the upturned end 11 of an operating-bar 9, which slides in a groove in the bottom of the shuttle box. A picker, in the form of a buffer disk 17 formed to engage the shuttle tip, is secured to a rod slidably mounted within the hollow piston-rod and is normally held away from the end 11 by an adjustable spring within the piston-rod, so as to act as a check-buffer for the incoming shuttle. The rod 9 is actuated to create the vacuum by one end of a double lever 21, which is moved by pins 26 on a lever 23 connected by a link and a universal joint to a crank on the crank-shaft, the crank being so set relatively to the lay-operating crank that the vacuum is created as the lay crank moves from bottom centre. A latch 35 engages the lever 21 to hold the piston in the set position. During the next forward movement of the lay, absence of friction on the pins 26, the lever 21 being set, allows the lever 23 to be raised by pins on a spring- controlled disk engaging a cam-slot in the boss of the lever, so that a release dog 36, adjustably secured to the lever 23, is raised and acts on the latch 35 to release the piston and effect the picking, the piston being cushioned by air entering the cylinder through a by-pass controlled by a pin-valve 38. In another arrangement, a vertical cylinder under each shuttle box is moved to create a vacuum by a bell-crank lever and a crank on the counter or tappet shaft while the piston is held stationary by suitable link-work until a dog on the cylinder strikes a lever and moves a connecting-link past dead-centre position, whereupon the piston descends and through a connexion to a picking-stick shoe operates the picking-stick. The piston is cushioned by air entering through an opening which is adjustable in position and is provided with a flap valve. A similar cylinder-and-piston arrangement may be provided at the centre of the loom to operate simultaneously, through bell-crank levers and rods, arms carrying pickers in each box, the cylinder in this case being actuated from the crank-shaft.

Abstract: 21,009. Sanders, L. Sept. 29, 1911, [Convention date]. Buckles. - In a belt-fastener of the type having a housing provided with a base-plate and a roller for adjustably securing one end of the belt, the base - plate 10, Fig. 4, is extended beyond the housing and offset rearwardly to form an extension 19 having side ears 18, in which is pivoted a clamping-lever 17 for the other end of the belt, a rigid relation being thus maintained between the lever clip and the housing for the roller. The housing comprises a cover 11, Fig. 5, having lugs 23 by which it is attached to the base-plate and a slot 12 to receive the roller 13 held therein bv rounded heads 14. The arm 21 of the lever 17 inclines forwardly towards the buckle so as to deflect outwardly the free end of the belt as it is passed through the housing to allow the wearer to take hold of it.

Abstract: 8853. Bond, S. C. April 15. Cork, cutting.-Machines for cutting disks or washers from rods or tubes of corks &c, comprise rotary circular knives 6 and work holders 9, 10 which rotate on axes somewhat inclined to the axes of rotation of the knives.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1914-01-24
Granted: 1915-04-15
Abstract: 1969. Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Co., and Newforth, F. Jan. 24. Automatic exchange systems. - The automatic supply of ringing-current to the wanted line is terminated, when the called subscriber answers, by a ringing control relay 202, which is connected in the ringing-circuit and is constructed to respond to direct but not alternating current. The same relay serves to send a boosting-impulse over the release wire 129<a> to operate the subscriber's meter M. In the third position of the connector side switch, a relay 91 is energized, and a circuit is completed for the ringing-generator R through the wanted-subscriber's line 96, 97 and back through the control relay 202 to battery B. The ringing is made intermittent by an interrupter 177, which connects the ringing-circuit to ground G<17> at the moments when the generator R is disconnected. The relay 202 is copper-ringed, so as not to respond to the alternating ringing-current ; but as soon as the called subscriber answers, it is energized by the flow of direct current and energizes the relay 70, which locks itself up and cuts out the ringing- circuit and the relay 202. During its momentary energization, the relay 202 connects the booster battery B' to the wire 129<a> to energize the meter M, which is in parallel with the holding-winding 12 of the line switch C. A modification is described in which the relays 70, 202 are replaced by a single relay. A lamp 106 serves to indicate delay on the part of the calling subscriber in clearing his line after the called subscriber has hung up. Specifications 26,301/06 and 19,253/12 are referred to.

To the upper flanges q are cast or fixed vertical plates i which enclose a number of sliding side and end plates l, y shown in plan in Fig. 3, resting on the. flanges g and pressed against the damper b by springs t. The side plates l are made in one or more pieces, and the inner edges of the side and end plates are provided with inclined projections, such as p, arranged on their upper or lower surfaces or with projections p, q, Fig. 7, arranged on both their upper and lower surfaces. As an alternative, the upper edges of the plates may be chamfered. The plates are guided by means of pins 1 adapted to engage with slots z, or by guides (not shown). Fig. 10 shows the plates having their inner edges shaped to fit the irregular contour of an irregular or warped damper. Instead of employing helical springs, flat springs such as x, Fig. 11, may be used for each plate. Helical springs such as t<1> attached to pins w on the side plates may be employed to draw the plates against the damper. To protect the sealing-plates, a cover 6 is provided a.nd secured to the plates i, and depending pins or screws are attached to the cover so as just to clear the plates l, y and so prevent the plates from rising when the damper is raised. These depending pins may, however, take the place of the guide-pins 1 working in the slots z.
