Abstract: 20,662. Brown, E. B. Sept. 5. Capillary - action lubricators. - A lubricator for the axle-boxes of railway vehicles comprises an absorbent mat supported in a trough-shaped basket held up to the axle by a resilient wire frame. The frame consists of two side pieces 9 looped at 11, crossed at 12, bent up at 12<a> where they rest on the floor of the axle-box, and connected by cross-bars 13. The frame can follow the movements of the axle, and it can expand laterally to adjust itself to the size of the axle; either end can be depressed without disturbing the opposite end. To withdraw the frame from the axle-box, one end is depressed by a two-armed lever 14 pivoted to the crossbar 13 and connected to the loops 11 by links 14<a>. The basket consists of two pieces of canvas 8 sewn on to marginal wires which are connected together by chain links 19. The basket is connected to the bars 9 of the frame by sheetmetal strips 20 and eyelets. The absorbent mat consists of two pieces of fabric 24 with pile surfaces 23; these are connected to the basket along their upper edges by bars 25 formed with tongues 26 which are passed through the eyelets and bent over. Absorbent oil feeders 27 secured to the mats 24 extend through the opening 18 between the two parts of the basket to the bottom of the axle-box. Pieces of coarse fabric 28 are placed between the mats and the basket and extend also to the bottom of the box; these act as capillary feeders and store a considerable quantity of oil in proximity to the mats. The inner ends of the fabric 28 hang down at 29 to form a dust-guard covering the opening through which the axle passes, and are pressed against the end wall of the axle-box by one of the cross-bars 13. A series of wicks 30 connected to the mats 24 extend through eyelets 31 to the bottom of the axle-box and constitute additional oil feeders. In a modification, the mats are long enough to extend through the hole 18 to the bottom of the axle box, and may be turned end for end when worn.

Patent GB-191028780-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Ring Spinning and Twisting Machines.
Inventor: SOMMERHALDER JOHANNES
IPC: D01H1/30
Filed: 1910-12-10
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 28,780. Sommerhalder, J. Dec. 10. Driving - arrangements.-In ring spinning and twisting machines with automatic variation of the speed of the spindles according to the diameter of the cop or spool, the shaft of the tin roller 1 is driven from a pulley 7 through a friction clutch 5, 6, the coupling-pressure of which is varied automatically according to the requirements of the spool, and the pulley 7 is connected through ratchet gearing with the shaft of the tin roller 2 to prevent the speed of the spindles from falling below the desired minimum when the coupling-pressure of the friction clutch is at its minimum. The pressure on the coupling is transmitted through a toothed sleeve 19, which is located between the nave of the pulley 7 and a correspondingly-toothed fixed sleeve 18 and is carried by a weighted lever 20 provided with additional weighting-springs 26, 27. The springs apply pressure to the lever 20 through sleeves 22, 23, which are raised by stops 31, 32, operated by a lever 30 so that the lever 20 is influenced by the combined pressure of the springs and a weight 21, the pressure of one spring and the weight, or by the weight alone. A cam 35, which rotates once during each stroke of the ring rail, acts upon the lever 30 so as to modify the pressure on the lever 20, but the lever 30 is raised during the building of the first part of the cop out of range of the cam by means of a lever 37, 38, so that the coupling pressure and the speed do not vary but remain at their minimum value. The lever 38 carries a rod 39 provided with notches of two different heights, with which a bent rod 43 successively engages. At the commencement of the cop, when the lever 30 is withheld from the cam 35, the rod 43 engages with a notch 40 until it is displaced by the ring rail and allows the lever 30 to fall partly within the range of the cam; later, the rod is displaced from another notch 41 and allows the lever to fall completely into the range of the cam and the full regulation of the coupling-pressure to operate. In order to counteract the tendency of the tin rollers to fall below the required minimum speed, when the coupling-pressure is at its minimum, the pulley 7 is so geared with the tin roller shaft 10 by wheels 8, 11, and ratchet gearing 15, 12 that this shaft is driven at the required speed.
