Abstract: 10,487. Pearson, M. H. May 7. Punching-machines for straps &c.-The punch bar 4 is reciprocated in a longitudinal slot 6 in a frame 3, which can swing laterally about the shaft 14 carrying the hand-wheel 15 and a cam 13 for operating both the punch bar and the swinging frame. The punch bar is connected with the cam 13 through a lever 9, carrying two pins 10, 11 eccentric with one another and on opposite sides of the lever. One of the pins carries the roller for engaging with the cam-groove, and the other engages in an aperture in the punch bar. The lever may be turned as desired for regulating the height of the punch, and is clamped in the adjusted position by reason of a spring detent on the lever engaging with a toothed segment 47 secured to the bar. The swinging movement of the frame 3 is effected through the cam roller 35 and lever 40, which is connected with the frame 3 by the adjustable link 43. The machine is provided with the vertically-adjustable punch block 27, the spring pressure plate 16, 16<a>, adjustable side guides 18 mounted on right and left handed screw threads on an adjustable rod, and a spring presser-foot for removing the punched strap from the punch when the latter rises. The bed 1<a> on which the strap &c. is supported forms part of a circle concentric with the shaft 14. The sequence of movements is as follows:-The punch is moved vertically downwards to punch the hole ; it is then raised slightly to clear the die, and the material is carried forwards by the swinging of the punch and frame 3 to the extent desired ; the punch is then withdrawn clear of the work and swung back to slightly beyond the vertical line, and then again exactly to the vertical line, ready for the next punching operation. The punch is hollow, and a side passage may be provided at the lower part of the punch bar for conveying away the fragments punched from the material,

Title: Improvements in Stop Motions for Doubling or Twisting Machines, Looms, Warping Mills and like Machines
Inventor: SYKES EZRA
Filed: 1902-06-20
Granted: 1903-06-04
Abstract: 13,988. Sykes, E., and Sykes, E. June 20. Yarns, warping; loom stop-motions. -Relates to mechanism for stopping a spindle in a twisting, doubling, and like machine, or for stopping warping- mills, looms, &c. when a thread fails. As applied to twisting, doubling, and like machines, a balanced lever a' is provided for each thread, being supported on a bar band carrying a wire eye d. When a thread fails, the lever a' tilts, and the vertical arm of a bent wire f, pivoted to the underside of the lever, descends to engage a reciprocating plate g and arrest its motion. The movement of an ordinary stopmotion lever h, which is pivoted at i to the plate g, now moves the weighted lever so that the shoulder j<1> releases a projection on a tumbler k, and the tumbler then tilts, separating the delivery rollers and acting through a rod r to actuate the ordinary spindle-bard gripping-jaws or other stopping-device. A spring clip t, fixed to the stopmotion head c, acts as a guide for the wires f. Instead of acting on gripping-jaws, the rod r may be connected to a pivoted weighted lever l, the end l<11> of which normally rests against the lower jaw of a pivoted tumbling-lever n. When a tumbler k is released, the rod r descends, and the weighted lever l turns the lever n so that a projecting arm n<11>, preferably covered with leather, comes against the wbarl o and stops the spindle. The spindle-driving band passes round a tension pulley s carried by the lever l, and, when the lever turns, the band is slackened. As applied to warping-mills and looms, the levers a<1> are made of thin metal, and are supported on one or more cross-rods. A defective thread allows a lever to tilt and bring the wire f into the path of a sliding grate or plate, or a wiper, and movement is transmitted to a shipper lever to stop the machine.
