Title: Improvements in Jacquards.
Inventor: CARVER THOMAS ALBERT BRIGGS
Filed: 1907-09-14
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 20,469. Carver, T. A. B. Sept. 14. Jacquards.-The electro-magnetic jacquards described in Specifications Nos. 14,345 and 14,346, A.D. 1896, are modified to avoid residual magnetism in the magnets, and are provided with means for moving the metallic pattern backwards or forwards by hand and for indicating exactly the position of the reader on the pattern. To avoid residual magnetism, the current for energizing the magnets is supplied to the loom at a high voltage and is transformed to a low-pressure current, the voltage of which stands at a maximum until the magnets are fully energized and then gradually falls to zero. According to one method of producing the variation in voltage, tapping-leads connected to the low-pressure coil of the transformer are led to a commutator or rotating switch from which the energizing-current for the magnets is drawn by brushes. In a modification, the current is transformed by a variable-voltage transformer, the iron core and stationary magnets of which are shaped to give the required variation of voltage. The metallic pattern can be moved backwards or forwards by chain or toothed gearing operated by a handle f which is arranged to drive a chain or band h provided with marks h<1>. The handle f<1> also drives a wheel i, which has a mark i<1> moving faster than the marks h<1>. When one of the marks h<1> and the mark i<1> are in line with one another and with a fixed mark k<1> on the framing, the reader is exactly over a division line on the metallic pattern.

Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 13,263. Blancke, M. H. June 22. Lathes.-A multiple-spindle turret lathe in which the spindles are alternately coupled with two gears, is automatically operated by the traversing head which carries the tools. The spindles 10 on the turret head 13 are all rotated from a single spindle 18, which carries the gear-wheels 19, 20, one of which 20 gears directly with the wheels 22 on the spindles, and the other 19 gears through intermediate wheels 24 with the wheels 21 on the spindles. The clutches 23, normally in contact with the wheels 22, are operated by levers 25 which protrude through the casing and are acted upon at certain times by a movable spring-controlled stop 29, which is operated through levers by an adjustable abutment 34 on the adjustable bar 33 attached to the movable head 36: The clutches are then in gear with the wheels 21 and the direction or rotation of the spindles is reversed, and by another fixed slideway at y, Fig. 2, the clutch in that position is made inoperative and the corresponding spindle does not revolve, thus enabling the work to be removed. the Head 13 is itself revolved at intervals by a worm 14 when the clutch 62 is in gear and the spring pin 16 is depressed from the holding-ring 17, this operation being effected by a spring finger 56 on the back stroke of the tool holder and' when the tool has left the work. The pin 16 is pressed up again into the next hole in the ring 17 as soon as the finger 56 has passed, and on the advance of the tool-holder again the finger 56 is depressed and a shoulder 63 on the bar 33 locks the pin 16 in place and secures the head 12 against rotation. The traversing head 36 is actuated by the shaft 37 which receives movement from a shaft 41 by means of gear-wheels and alternative trains 39, 39<a> and 40, 40<a>, Fig. 4. A shaft 43 carries a clutch 44 operated by the stops 49, 50 on the tool-carrier, through a lever 48. An arm 51 of this lever has notches which are engaged by a spring-controlled pin 52, while the carriage is moving to the-left, until the stop 50 knocks the lever into the mid-position, shown in dotted lines ; the clutch then becomes inoperative, and the weight 53 trips the lever and the clutch into gear with the wheel 40, the motion of tool-holder being thus reversed. The machine is started by moving the lever 48 by hand from the dotted position to the right.
