Inventor: ELMENDORF BERNHARD
IPC: D03D51/20
Filed: 1911-01-19
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 1411. Elmendorf, B., and Gabler, J. Jan. 19. Stop-motions; warp. - In mechanism of the kind in which the falling of a drop causes a gap in the warp to be made at the broken thread and stops the loom, the drops or weights n are normally held over a toothed rail c reciprocated by a cam g and lever mechanism and by a spring between two normally stationary toothed rails a having their teeth set in the. opposite direction. When a drop falls, it is jammed across the three rails and causes the motion of the rail c to be imparted to the rails a against the action of a spring, and the drop is itself moved to form a gap in the warp. The motion of the rails a operates a rod o, lever p, shaft r, and lever q, and causes a lever s mounted on a spring arm to be placed in the path of the lay to stop the loom.

Abstract: 20,521. Bradford Dyers' Association, and Emmett, W. Sept. 16. Feeding a n d registering webs. - In stentering and other machines, the edges of the fabric pass between two pairs of inclined rollers, the upper roller b, Figs. 1 and 3, of each pair being fixed, and the lower roller c, Fig. 3, being carried in a frame m, hinged at m<1>, which is pressed upwards by the action of an adjustable spring f. A detector p, Figs. 3 and 6, counterweighted at p<2>, is hinged at p<1> to each of the frames m carrying the lower rollers. Should the fabric move too far outwards to one side or the other of its path, it presses against the part p<4> of the detector on that side and rotates it, whereupon a hook p3 engages a reciprocating part s. The pressure of the corresponding spring f is overcome, the rollers part, and the other pair of rollers drag the fabric in the opposite direction. Other clutch means may be substituted for the parts s, p<3>. The angle at which the rollers are set may be varied, and the frames carrying them are mounted on an aggregate screw shaft w, Fig. 1, actuated by a hand-wheel x<1> or by chaingearing x<2> from the screw y, that is employed for adjusting the stenter rails y<1>, y<2>. The distance between the two sets of rollers may thereby be adjusted to suit different widths of fabric. Instead of inclined rollers, straight rollers with spiral flutings may be employed.

Granted: 1913-04-18
Abstract: 9169. Marresford, W. F. April 27, 1911, [Convention date]. Drying fabrics and materials in long lengths. -In a machine for hanging paper, cloth, &c. during drying, in coating and printing apparatus, particularly for making wall-paper, means are provided for circnlating and controlling the sticks on which the material is looped. The machine comprises a stick-feeding box from which sticks are taken by endless conveyers 2 engaging the stick ends, and fed to the first section 3 of the drying ' rack ' on which the loops of material are fed from the coating or printing device. Conveyers 4, 5 form second and third sections of the rack moving at consecutively slower rates, so that the festoons are formed more closely. A pair of carrying chains 6 moving still more slowly form a ' live rail ' with a smooth surface, outside which a pair of chains 7 travel at a higher speed, keeping the sticks parallel until they fall into a stiekreceiving box 8. Fig. 14 shows a modified apparatus for keeping the sticks parallel, comprising fingers 142 mounted on shafts 143, the foremost end of a displaced stick being retarded until the other end comes abreast of it. From the receptacle 10, Fig. 9, of the stick receiving box, the sticks are picked up singly by elevating chains 11 and dropped on a transverse chain 12, Fig. 11, lugs on which push the sticks against a curve 13 and so deliver them to a return chain 14. They are turned transversely by a guide and dropped singly into a channel formed by bars 16, Fig. o, and closed by thumb pieces 17 on a shaft 19, notches in the thumb pieces receiving one stick at a time and delivering it to lugs on the inclined chains 2. Fig. 9 shows the receiving-mechanism, in which the sticks fall from strips 24 down rails 22 and accumulate in a pocket formed by plates 26, bars and plates 28, 29, a fixed apron 30, and side frames. The plates 29 are rigidly connected to the bar 28, supported on antifriction bearings 33, and pivotally connected to rocker arms 34 on a shaft 36. The arms are oscillated by a stud 37 moved through link-work from a shaft. 41. The sticks are caused to rest successively against pick-up bars 43 slidably supported by studs 44 and pivotally connected to a shaft 47 receiving motion through link-work from the shaft 41. From the bars 43, the sticks are lifted by lugs on an elevator 11 and deposited on the cross feeding chain 12 by arms 55. Fig. 15 shows means for stopping the sticks when the final reeling-device is stopped, comprising arms 146 on a counterweighted shaft operated through a cord from the controlling- lever 149 of the reeling-device. The stickstraightening means 7 is independently driven so that so long as the winding-means is operative the sticks are regularly carried along. The feeding and receiving devices and the chains 3, 4, 5, 6 are all driven from the same source.

Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 16,312. United Shoe Machinery Co. July 14, 1911, [Convention date]. Uppers, machines for. -The rear end of a boot or shoe upper is formed with a curve corresponding to t h e heel of the last, and with a bent - in portion in proximity to the top edge of the counter, in a machine which also has means for forming an inturned flange on the bottom edge of the upper. The machine shown is arranged for dealing with two uppers, so that one can be left to set while the operator attends to the other. Each upper is supported on an inside former 75, which corresponds in the shape of its rear end to the shape of a last and is bolted to a boss 77 projecting downwards from the machine frame. A crease B is formed between the body of the former and an extension 81 thereof. The upper is moulded on the inside former by outer formers 69, which are removably mounted upon holders 71 carried on a slide 67 and are pivoted to enable them to close in on the inner former. In their open position, a gap appears between the adjacent ends of the outer formers near their pivot, and this gap is bridged by a leather lining. The slide 67 is moved forwards to press the formers against the rear end of the inside former by the straightening of toggle links 59 operated by a cam on a cam shaft 31. The outer formers have their lower edges at the rear rounded off so that they press the upper into the recess above the heel of the inside former, without marking it. After the outer formers have clamped and ridged the rear end of the upper, they are closed in upon the inside former by links 85 and a sliding cross-head 87. The cross-head 87 is resiliently connected to a link 89 attached to one arm 93 of a bell-crank lever rocked by a cam on the cam-shaft. The projecting lower edge of the upper and the stiffener is wiped over the base of the inside former by wipers 107 mounted upon carriers 109, which are reciprocated through links 111, a cross-head 113, and rods 115, 117 from a second bell-crank lever 119 rocked bv a cam on the shaft 31. To prevent the forward end of the upper from being lifted as the outer formers are moved forwards, the inside former is provided with a stop 103 pivoted in its lower face and hanging down by gravity to a position determined bv an adjustable nut on a checkrod 105. This stop also serves as a gauge for the work. The cam-shaft is driven from a power shaft, which is provided with a clutch and a brake for automatically stopping the cam-shaft at each half revolution. If desired, the automatic stopping of the machine may be rendered inoperative, and the machine run under the direct control of the workman through the clutch treadle.

Abstract: 19,718. Orr, A. Aug. 29. Heekling-machines; feeding and transferring flax etc.; holders for flax &c.-The holders in a heckling-machine are transferred from one main channel to the other by a holder carrier having a rectilinear reciprocating movement and a turning movement to change the holder from a vertical to an horizontal position and vice versa. The holder - carrier which receives the holder may move from one main channel to the other or to another holder-carrier and means may be provided to perform the screwing operation during the traversing movement. The holder A, Fig. 4, as it issues from the main channel E is pushed by the usual lever K into a carrier B rotatably mounted upon an arm b projecting from a shaft b<1> journaled in a nut C carried upon a screw D. Arms b<2> mounted upon the shaft b<1> pass through studs b<3> pivoted upon pieces b<4>, which are mounted upon guide-rods b<5>. Rotation of the screw D causes the nut C to move relatively to the pieces b' and the carrier and holder to assume an horizontal position. Stops b<7> on the arms b<2> then engage the studs b<3> and prevent further turning of the carrier. The pieces b<4> are then drawn along with the nut against the action of springs b<6>. The screw D is rotated by chain gearing d from a countershaft d', driven by a rack d<5> operated by a cam d<4> rotating in unison with the rising and falling main channel. As the carrier is moved to the right, a pinion G on the carrier engages a rack g and the holder is unscrewed, a box key g<2> carried in a vertically reciprocating slide g<3> holding the nut against rotation. A friction wheel F on the carrier engages a cam surface and turns the holder from a transverse to a longitudinal position relatively to the screw D. In the arrangement shown, the carrier B delivers the holder to a table g<4> where the flax &c. may be drawn through the holder or where the holder may be emptied and refilled. An oscillating lever H is provided to transfer the holder from the carrier B to the table g<4>. The lever H is provided with a telescopic portion h<4> carrying rollers h<5> which during the forward movement travel under a guide h', but which on the return movement are caused by a latch h<8> to travel over the guide and raise the end of the lever out of the way of a holder upon the table. The lever H moves the holder into a carrier B' mounted upon a screw D<1> which transfers it to the other main channel E'. The holder is rescrewed by a rack g<1> and the arrangement is similar to that on the left-hand side of the table g<4>. The screw may have a right and left hand thread and rotate in one direction only, or it may reach from one channel to the other, the turning movement of the carrier being obtained by racks engaging pinions on the shaft b<1>. Cams, racks, eccentrics, or other suitable mechanism may be employed in place of the screw to impart the rectilinear reciprocating movement to the carriers.
