Patent GB-189908294-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Looms for Weaving Woollen, Textile, and other Fabrics or Materials.
Inventor: LOCKWOOD HENRY
Filed: 1899-04-20
Granted: 1900-04-14
Abstract: 8294. Lockwood, H., Lockwood, A., Lockwood, J., Lockwood, H. H., Lockwood, G. H., [trading as Henry & Co., G.], and Coldwell, J. B. April 20. Magnetic looms.-The shuttles, shuttle boxes, and healds are operated by electromagnetic or magnetic means. The shuttle, Fig. 10, is fitted with two electromagnets M, both of which are in the same circuit, and the upper end of one coil 13 and the lower end of the other are connected with conductor-plates 14, 15 respectively, let into the shuttle. Instead of electromagnets, plates of soft iron, or permanent magnets may be used. The shuttle race is fitted underneath with a series of electromagnets N, Fig. 3, which are energized in succession by means of a switch consisting, when soft iron is used in the shuttle, of a contact-arm revolving around a board in which the terminals of the wires from the electromagnets N are located. When electromagnets or permanent magnets are used in the shuttle, the contact-arm is replaced by a double arm which completes the circuits of the electromagnets N preceding and succeeding the shuttle magnets, so that the shuttle is operated by attraction and repulsion. The arm is rotated intermittently by gearing from the crank shaft I, Fig. 1, and the motion is automatically reversed by gearing connected with the picking-lever 6. The electromagnets in the shuttle are energized by means of looped-wire contacts 18, 19, Fig. 5, mounted at intervals along oscillating conducting-rods 26, 27 located at the back of the reed, these contacts serving to make contact with the plates 14, 15 in the shuttle. The contacts 18, 19 are automatically projected through the reed on the backward movement of the lay, and are again withdrawn on the forward movement. The shuttle is thus moved forward and backward along the shuttle race by magnetic action, and, if desired, a lever 28 at each end of the shuttle boxes, provided with an armature 29 and operated by an automatically-energized electromagnet 30, may be used to give the initial movement to the shuttle. The levers 32, Fig. 1, for operating the healds, the picking-lever 6, and the shuttle-box levers are pivoted between their ends on a shaft 6<x> at both sides of which they carry electromagnets 33, 34 of similar polarity. Fronting these and mounted on the framework is a powerful electromagnet 56. The polarity of the electromagnets 33, 34 is controlled by a switch consisting of plates 37, 38, Figs. 1 and 16, connected by a block 39 and mounted on a shaft 47 above a lay or perforated card chain 46 having pegs 60 by which the plates are tilted to make contact with either the rods 40 or 41 forming part of the circuit. Thus either the upper or lower ends of the levers 32 &c. are attracted to operate the healds &c.
Patent GB-189909750-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Printing Telegraphs.
Inventor: MILLS BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD
Filed: 1899-05-09
Granted: 1899-12-09
Abstract: 9750. Mills, B. J. B., [Tucker, J. R., Hinckley, C. C., and Himrod, K.]. May 9. Telegraphs.-The apparatus consists of electro-mechanical arrangements by which the keys of a type-writer can be employed to operate a corresponding number of relays capable of closing a number of electric circuits in prearranged permutations. These electric impulses are transmitted in sequence to line, and operate at the receiving-end selective mechanism by which the impulses are sorted out to a corresponding number of electromagnets. These electromagnets combine the elements of the permutation, and by means of further magnets operate typewriter levers which reproduce the predetermined signals. Fig. 1 shows a partial elevation of the transmitting- mechanism. 2 are the type-writer levers, acting on the signal levers 1 by means of catches 3 and a walking beam 4 controlled by a reciprocating air &c. motor 7. The levers 1 coact with notched cross-bars 18 to operate a number of selector rings 21. Corresponding in number to the selector rings are radial sets of contactplungers 25 connected toadistributer. A rotating arm 38 is moved from one set of radial plungers 25 to the next by a spring, under the control of the escapement 36. At the receiving-station the line impulses act on pairs of oppositely-p olarized magnets by which the sequence of + and - currents are sorted out and are distributed as local currents to either one of two selecting- devices, preferably two, one compiling while the other is restoring. The selecting-devices, Fig. 13, have each a series of electromagnets 249 corresponding in number to the elements of a transmitted combination and a restoring- magnet 226. The armatures 250 of the magnets 249 act on levers in notched discs 230-234. The discs are capable of various angular motions, so that their various motions or combination of motions can move the distributer arm 208 to any desired position. The sectors 212 of the distributer are in circuit with a corresponding number of electromagnets, and the restoring-magnets 226 are in the common battery return circuit together with the motor magnet 317, Fig. 22, which operates the air or other motor 308. Fig. 22 shows the recording lever mechanism. The type keys 301 are connected to the type levers, and are brought under the influence of the common walking beam 304 by means of the trips 303. The trips 303 are moved by the armatures 305 of the individual type magnets 306, and these are in circuit with the selector distributer 212, Fig. 13. The walking beam is operated by the motor 308.

Feedwater, controlling.-A float is fitted in a vessel A placed above the boiler and communicating therewith by a dip-pipe N as shown in Fig. 2, or placed at the normal water level and connected above and below to the steam and water spaces respectively. This float operates a small piston valve F, or a corresponding slide valve, by means of a lever E, and the valve F controls the distribution of steam to a cylinder L which contains a piston valve G. The valve G controls the supply of steam to operate the feed-pump, and operates a cock J in the feed-pipe, or it may perform either of these functions alone. In other modifications, the cylinder L is horizontal, and the valve F also works horizontally, the lever E being provided with a vertical finger at its fulcrum ; the lever E is also, in these cases, counterweighted. The piston valve G may be replaced by an ordinary piston operating external valves ; or it may be made double and constructed to control both the supply of steam to the feed-pump and the supply of water therefrom to the boiler, or it may have a suitable extension constructed to perform these functions. In the arrangement shown, water is forced by the steam pressure up the dip-pipe N when the level is high, returning by the by e-pass and adjustable screw valve at g when the level falls. In another arrangement, there are two dip-pipes terminating below at different levels. The float may be of metal, hollow or cup shaped, or of ceramic material, in one block or made up of superposed squares or tiles ; but preferably it consists of a block of pumicestone
