Title: Improved Arrangements for Driving Winches by Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BIRCHAM FRANCIS RICHARD SAMUEL
Filed: 1908-06-11
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 12,536. Bircham, F. R. S. June 11. Winches.-In winches driven by internal-combustion engines a balance or differential gear is used, one member being driven by the engine, a second member being coupled to an elastic resistance or elastic storage device such as an air. compressor, and the third member being coupled to operate the winch. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the engine A is coupled to the bevel-wheel C of the balance gear, while the opposite co-axial sbaft B' operates an air-compressor E. The satellite pinions H, I are carried on a yoke K in one with a spur or like gear J. The air-compressor E is arranged to store, compressed air in a tank, or to discharge to. the atmosphere. In the former case, the air can be used for starting the engine and for assisting the engine with heavy loads. In working, the engine first operates the compressor until the resistance to compressing is equal to the resistance of the winch drum and gearing ; any further turning thereafter is expended on the winch. Any sudden resistance on the part of the cable does not cause the engine to stop, but merely arrests the spurwheel J and transfers the active effort to the air-compressor. The apparatus may be so arranged that while the engine drives one wheel of the balance gear, the co-axial wheel is employed to operate the winch. The satellite pinions may be attached to a casing completely enclosing the gear, in which case a worm gear may replace the pinions J, K<1>. The Provisional Specification also states that a brake drum may be used to take the place of tha air-compressor.

Axles 5 are supported at the outer end on rollers 8, which run on rails 7 and at the inner end in brackets 4 of a frame 2 rotated by a driver 17. Wheels 14 coacting withfixed wheels 15 give the secondary rotation. In order to allow passengers to dismount from the cars 10, the gear-wheels 15 are made to disengage, and the cars are brought round to the landing place by hand. In a modification, Fig. 5, the cars 10 are brought into position by a motor A by gearing which drives wheels 24, 15, 14, the wheel 14 being attached to the axle 5. The wheel 15 is then slipped downwards out of gear, and carries with it, by means of rods 36, a cone 34, pressing against a lever 43. This lever follows the movement of the cone and slips a toothed wheel 31 into gear with a rack 32. When a motor B is then started, the machine is driven by a toothed wheel 27 engaging a toothed rim 29.

IPC: D03D45/34
Filed: 1910-06-08
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 13,908. Toyoda, S. June 8. Shuttle - changing mechanism ; picking-motions.-Movable sides of the shuttle-box are, during replenishment, operated directly by the entering and outgoing shuttles, the arrangements also operating to detach the picker from the shuttle. When a fresh shuttle is pushed from the shuttle receptacle or magazine 37, it engages inclined parts 22 on parts 8, 9, which form the shuttlebox front and are pivoted on shafts 10, the parts 8, 9 being thereby forced apart to enable the fresh shuttle to enter the shuttle-box, while the spent shuttle presses against the rear side 4 carried by arms 3 on a shaft 5, the side 4 being thus pressed upwards into the position shown in dotted lines against the action of springs coiled on the shaft 5. An angular catch 54 fixed to the shuttle-box top 53 prevents the spent shuttle from being pressed backwards during its removal. When the weft-fork mechanism is operated, a shaft 34 is rocked and, by means of an arm 33 and suspension rod 32, a rod 31 pivoted on a lever 30, 26 linked to a shuttle-operating rod 28 is moved into the path of a projecting arm 35 on the lay, so that when the lay moves forwards the lever 30, 26 is rocked and the rod 28 moves the lowest shuttle in the magazine 37 through the front wall thereof into the shuttle-box against the action of spring-controlled supports 39, which prevent the shuttles from prematurely leaving the magazine. Spring shuttle-guides 12 may be fixed to the lay 20. When the lay commences its return movement, the rear side 4 of the shuttle-box is pressed down into its normal position and ejects the spent shuttle from the lay 20. An arm 15 operates a draw-bar 36 on the return movement of the lay, and returns the lever 30, 26 and rod 28 to normal position. When the part 9 is depressed, a rod 19 is caused to rock a lever 18 provided with a cam-slot engaging a pin on a suspension rod or lever 14, from which the frame 16 for controlling the movement of the picker-operating lever 43 is suspended, this frame being thereby oscillated to permit the lever 43 to move beyond its normal travel to detach the picker from the shuttle S and permit its ready removal. The magazine comprises oppositely disposed U- shaped shuttle-guides 41.
