Title: Improvements in and relating to Forced Draft Furnace Grates.
Inventor: PALMER WILLIAM HOWARD
IPC: F23H3/02
Filed: 1910-05-10
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 11,589. Palmer, W. H. May 10. Grates.-Comprises modifications in furnace grates, more particularly adapted for burning small fuel under forced draught. In the arrangement shown, the grate is formed of hollow bars 1 supported on I-beams 2 with intervening spaces filled by bricks 3 and a packing 4 cf suitable sand. The bars are made in two parts, the lower parts 5 being supported by flanges 52 on the beams 2, and having ledges 50 for carrying the upper parts 6. A tight joint is made between the two parts by a cement filling. Air is admitted to each bar through a conduit 53 and escapes through openings 61, each of which is nearly closed by a ring 64 carrying a disk 66. The disk is secured in position by a bolt 63 passing through a cross-piece 62. The disk is spaced from the ring, and the ring from the bar by suitable projections. Instead of the circular holes shown, transverse rectangular ones may be used. Any ashes &c. which collect in the bars are removed by means of a hit-and-miss slide 55. The filling bricks 3 are supported on the upper surfaces of the lower sections 5, and to protect the beams from the heat a dead space 20 is left.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Automatic Weft-replenishing Looms.
Inventor: DIEDERICHS JEAN CHARLES
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1910-05-28
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 13,014. Diederichs, J. C. Jan. 8, [Convention date]. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically. - T h e pirns are arranged in a magazine comprising vertical grooves or compartments a<1> .... a<5>, Fig. 1, converging at their bases towards a central point b, and pass through a tubular part b<2> of a distributor B, Figs. 1 and 3, and through a fixed passage b<7> into the cavities c' of a rotary barrel C. After the pirns have been exhausted from one compartment, the distributor B is automatically rocked to move the part b<2> into engagement with the next compartment, a register b<1> on the distributor closing the other full compartments. The reserves of weft are wound upon removable'plugs e, or upon the ends of the metal spindles, or upon the e suitably - tapered spool tubes, the plugs or the reserves or wett being subsequently gradually removed in the direction of the axes of the spools, whereby the threading of the shuttle is facilitated. A ratchet-quadrant b<3>, fixed to one of the trunnions of the distributor B, is normally engaged by a pawl b<4> on a lever b<5>, which acts upon a lever c<1> carrying a pawl c<2> engaging a ratchet-wheel secured to the rotary barrel C, but a roller c<4> on the lay periodically raises the lever a<1> and lever b<5> to free the ratchet-quadrant b<3> and allow the distributor to move, if necessary, under spring action. A finger b<6> engages through recesses a<6> in the magazine compartments with the lowest bobbin in the active compartment, so that, when a compartment becomes exhausted, the part b<2> may move on to the next compartment. A guide-plate d prevents the pirns from falling out of the barrel C. The foremost pirn therein comes into contact with a stop z<1>, and after removal by the transferrer z, the barrel C is rotated by the weight of the parts c<1>; b<5> and the pirns in the barrel until the foremost pirn comes into contact with the stop z<1>. The plugs e, which frictionally engage in the pirn tubes, are removed by pincers F, Figs. 3 and 5, each guided upon a shaft f<2> secured to plates C<1>, C<2> integral with the barrel C. The pincers comprise a fixed arm f and a movable arm f<1> acted upon by a spiral spring wound round a sleeve secured to the part f and supported by a ring, which is fixed to the end of the sleeve to enable the tension of the spring to be adjusted. The nose f<5> of the pincers is engaged in a helicoidal groove f<3> in a fixed drum f<4>. During the movement of the pirns in the barrel, a boss f<7> on the fixed drum first opens the pincers to allow the plug or the reserve weft to be grasped, and the pincers are then displaced longitudinally, and, after the transferrer has removed the pirn from the magazine, another boss on the fixed drum opens the pincers and allows the plug to fall into a receptacle.

Title: Improvements in Suction Dredgers.
Inventor: LOBNITZ FRED
IPC: E02F3/90
Filed: 1910-06-22
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 14,978. Lobnitz, F. June 22. Suction apparatus.-In a suction dredger of the type in which the suction pipe is provided with a rotating cutter and means for holding the cutter down to its work, the holding-down device is adapted to slip should the upward pressure on the cutter become too great. In the form shown, the framing C carrying the suction pipe F and cutter D is held down by a rack a gearing with a pinion e locked by a band brake j, which slips, on the cutter contacting with rock, and allows the cutter to rise. In a modification, the rack is pivoted to the lower end of the framing C, and the pinion e is driven by an engine and used to raise and lower the framing as well as to hold it down. In a further modification, a bar sliding through a pivoted guide carried by the vessel replaces the rack, and is operated by a wire rope passing around a driven drum and pulleys to raise and lower the framing C and hold it in position. In both modifications, a clutch or other friction device is interposed to allow slip.

Draught and weather excluders; sliding sashes removable from frame.-In windows having removable sliding sashes balanced one against the other by cords connecting the sashes and passing over pulleys, the pulleys A, B are carried by the bent ends 24<1> of an arm 24 hinged at 27 to the pulley stile 2 at the top of the windowframe. The arm 24 is made in two parts 25, 26 adjustably connected by bolts 26', and the pulleys A, B are inclined as shown in Fig. 6. The lower portions of the stop and parting beads 8, 7 on one side are detachable, the ends of the fixed and removable portions being bevelled as shown in Fig. 5, and the removable portions are kept in place by inclined pins 12. Flexible draught-excluding strips 21, 23 are fitted in the grooved edges 20, 22 of the sash stiles, the strips 23 projecting out at rightangles and the strips 21 at an acute angle with the sash stiles. Flexible weather strips are also provided at the meeting rails and at the top and bottom rails of the upper and lower sashes respectively. A double hinged flap 31, 32 is fitted to the sill so that the top sash can be opened for ventilation without having a draught under the lower sash.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Carding Engines.
Inventor: COOK JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: D01G15/76

Granted: 1911-10-17
Abstract: 23,980. Cook, J. W., Leigh, T. E., and Jowett, J., [trading as Cook & Co.]. Oct. 17. Cleaning machinery pneumatically. - In apparatus for stripping carding - engines by suction applied through a nozzle which traverses the card surface, the nozzle projects through a flexible band which is adapted to slide over and cover a slot in the card cover, through which slot the stripping is effected. The nozzle B, Fig. 1, is mounted upon a carriage C secured to a flexible steel band D, the ends of which are wound upon drums F, F<1>, the band sliding between guides E on the card cover. The drum F is driven by pin-wheels g, g<2> to draw the nozzle B across during its working traverse. At the end of the traverse, a projection C<1> on the carriage C engages a stop J<4> on a sliding rod J, and moves the rod causing a sleeve G<1> to slide along the driven shaft G and to take the gear g<2> out of engagement with the gear g. The carriage can then be moved back by hand, a pull upon the handle J<3> of the rod J causing re-engagement of the gear-wheels g<2>, g. The driving of the drum F may be accomplished by an arrangement comprising a stud f, Fig 4, which is surrounded by a hollow pin f<7>, which is driven through worm gearing from the pulley H. the barrel f<7x> of the drum F surrounding this pin. A ball f<17>, adapted to engage corresponding holes in the pin f<7> and barrel f<7x> to cause one to drive the other, is moved into and out of engagement by the longitudinal movement of the stud f, which is provided with a cam-surface f<6> for this purpose. The stud f is moved against the action of a spring f<8> by a cam-surface carried by a rock-shaft f<10> operated at the end of the working traverse by a projection f<12> on the carriage coming into contact with an arm on the rockshaft. In a further modification, the carriage slides upon a casing containing a traversing- screw, the nozzle projecting through the band and causing it to move with the nozzle. A tapped pin or segment held in engagement with the screw during the working traverse is released by a trip device at any desired point; or the pin may be arranged to run off the threaded portion of the screw.
