Patent GB-191028556-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Timing a Series of Weighing or other Operations.
Inventor: ROUND JAMES HARRY
IPC: G01G21/00
Filed: 1910-12-08
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 28,556. Round, J. H. Dec. 8. Periodic-counter speed indicators.-Apparatus for timing a definite number of weighing or other operations comprises a stop-watch A which is set to zero, started, and arrested by electromagnetic means. At every operation or series of operations of the weighing-machine, the part M attached thereto closes a circuit and the armature E and pawl F are actuated. The toothed contact-wheel D is thus rotated step by step to bring the contacts n1, n2, n3 successively beneath the brush P of a second circuit containing an electro-magnet b1, b2 ... In the initial position of the wheel D, however, the first circuit is not made until a switch K is closed by the partial rotation of the wheel D, and this rotation can only be effected by the manual depression of a plunger H owing to the provision on the wheel D of one tooth cf twice the pitch of the others. As the contacts n1, n2, n3 pass in succession beneath the brush P, the stop-watch is respectively set to zero, started, and arrested. The wheel D is provided with thirteen teeth, and allows ten operations to be timed. Other wheels with different numbers of teeth may be provided.

Filed: 1911-03-10
Abstract: 6048. Aichele, A. March 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Registering webs.-Relates to means for tensioning webs of paper &c. wherein the speed of the feed-rolls is controlled by the varying tension of the web. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the web travels in the direction of the arrow over the rollers w<1>, u, beneath a jockey roll l, and over rollers v, w<2>. As the roller l rises and falls under the influence of the weight m, a switch k controls the resistance in the circuits n<2> of the field magnets of one of the motors e<1>, e<2> driving the feed-rolls w<1>, w<2>. The device may also be applied to control the speed of a motor driving a winding reel, to compensate for the increase in the tension of the web as the diameter of the roll increases. In a modification, two detector rollers are providedone on each side of the web-in a pivoted frame, which as it swings, operates the electric switch. In a further modification, the jockey roller controlling the motor resistance instead of being supported by a bight of the web, rests in an auxiliary web or wire which passes over pulleys on two rollers on which a slack length of the web rests. The various rollers of a paper making machine may be driven by electric motors controlled by variations in the tension of the web, as shown in Fig. 6. The diameter of the rollers u, v may be adjustable to compensate for any expansion or contraction of the web.

Title: Improvements in Rotary or Straight Bar Knitting Machines.
IPC: D04B11/04
Filed: 1911-06-27
Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 15,050. Cotton, Ltd., W., and Aldridge, C. H. June 27. Straight-bar machines.-Relates to means for shogging the machine or slide shafts in machines of the Cotton and like type for the production of shogged rib and striped and like fancy ribbed fabrics and garments. A cam B mounted on the machine shaft A<5> rotates between trucks C<2> ... C' mounted radially on a fixed bracket C surrounding the cam B. By means of a ratchet D<6> operated by a bell-crank D', D<2> and driven from a cam-shaft A<4>, the cam is intermittently rotated, and imparts small lateral movements at certain courses to the shaft A<5>. Fig. 5 shows the cam B in developed form. The arrangement of the inclines and the position of the trucks C<2> to C<7> are such that an onward movement of the cam of one step per course, say from B<8> to B' causes the needle-bar or slide shaft to move one needle space per course, first towards and then away from the mean position. A movement of two steps per course causes the needle-bar &c. to move momentarily through one needle-space towards or away from the mean position, and then to return. This allows of solid vertical stripes being made, the joining of adjacent stripes being effected by the rib needle J, Figs. 10 and 13, situated between the stripes. The rib needles are moved alternately to the left and right in the manner above described, enabling the rib needles J to catch the threads from adjacent carriers A, B in turn, the joining of adjacent stripes being thus effected. To produce shogged Royal rib work, the machine needles are shogged one needle space alternately backwards and forwards, this movement occurring every two courses. This is accomplished by shifting the cam B through one division so that the projection B<8> engages the truck C<6>, and by returning the cam B to the normal position after an interval of two courses. A pair of opposed ratchet-wheels E, E<1> operated by a forked ratchet E<6>, E<7> is mounted on the boss of the cam B. The throw of the ratchet E<6> is such that it moves the cam B through one division and continues to reciprocate idly. After two courses the ratchet fork is lifted by connexions operated from a cam wheel F<2>, the ratchet D<6> being also lifted; the ratchet E' is then brought into engagement with its wheel E<1> and returns the cam B to the normal position. Other movements of the cam B may be obtained in a similar manner by the use of a number of ratchet-wheels which may be controlled by any suitable description of pattern mechanism. Alternatively, the member B may be provided with trucks, and the inclines may be carried on the members C.

Title: Improvements in Steam Forging Presses.
Inventor: CHAMPIGNEUL VICTOR
IPC: B21J7/24
Filed: 1911-10-25
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 23,596. Champigneul, V. Oct. 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Steam and other fluidpressure presses.-In a forging-press, means are provided for preventing the useless consumption of steam due to non- effective displacements of the forging - piston. The motive compressors are so combined with the system that their steam pistons are always brought to their starting positions, and so that the water - pipes connecting the water cylinders of the compressors to the press cylinder are always full before each fresh actuation of the steam pistons. The Figure shows the forging-piston a provided with lifting- pistons d, which are placed under constant lifting pressure. The low - pressure steam compressor i is connected to the pipe e through the valve m and to the compressed-air reservoir through the valve n and pipe p. The highpressure compressor g is connected directly to the pipe e. The approach of the forging-piston a takes place by the operation of the steam valve of the compressor i. This approach stroke may be immediately followed by the forging operation, since the cylinder c is full, by merely opening the steam valve of the compressor g. When the cylinder h is exhausting, the water which the compressor g has sent to the cylinder c returns, and the lifting-cylinders raise the piston a. In the same way as the compressor g, the compressor j reaches the exhaust stage and its piston descends to the end of the stroke, so that, owing to the displacement of the water piston, the water contained in the reservoir l passes through the valve n and returns to the cylinder k, which is ready for a new approach stroke. If, before producing a new approach stroke, it is necessary again to lift the forging- piston a, the valve r is lifted and the water in the press cylinder returned through pipes e, s to the reservoir l. The valve r may be dispensed with and replaced by a control means actuating simultaneously on the valves m, n. The lowpressure compressor i may drive water into two or more hydraulic devices provided on the press for pushing the forging-piston a down, during which operation the reservoir l effects the filling of the press cylinder c. Again, the compressor g may be arranged at the side of the press or even above the cylinder c.
