Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 2152. Beadle, G. W. Jan. 26. Seaming; angular bending; coiling. - In a machine for making spirally-wound tubing in which a flat strip is bent at the edges to interlock and is wound on a mandrel, the strip passes between feed rolls 11 and is bent at the edges by oppositely inclined rolls 130, 131. Vertical rolls 150, with grooves, complete the bending, and the strip is wound on a mandrel 18, provided with a spiral groove 20. The strip is fed down the mandrel by means of a belt 27 driven by pulleys 28, 29 and passing round the work. An ironing roll 21 driven by chain and sprocket gearing from the shaft 5 rolls down the seam. The rolls 150 are driven by belt gearing from a sprocket - wheel on the shaft 280, which is driven by bevel-gearing from the shaft 5.

Title: Improvements in or in connection with Dobbies or Shedding Mechanism of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: WHITE WILLIAM BELL
IPC: D03C1/36
Filed: 1912-02-23
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 4533. White, W. B., and Morrison, J. Feb. 23. Dobbies.-In a dobby having a governing- cylinder 7, Fig. 2, and a number of repeating- cylinders 8, 9, 10, 11, the cylinder 7 carries a pattern chain 13 and also a chain 12, Fig. 1, for indicating the selection of the repeating- cylinders. The pattern chains of the cylinders 7, 8, 9 act directly on pivoted feelers 15 and indirectly on feelers 16; and the chains of the cylinders 10, 11 act directly on the feelers 16. The cylinders are driven by pawls 25, 27, 28, 29, 30 on a frame 24, which is reciprocated by connexions with the T-lever 5. When any repeating-cylinder is to be put out of action, a peg actuates a special balk lever 2, so that, by means of a rod 40, a shield plate 41 is moved so that the pawl 25 can drive the cylinder 7. A blank lag comes to the surface of the repeating- cylinder at the same time that the cylinder 7 is turned, and the latter cylinder indicates to the healds, always presenting a peg to the feeler governing the special balk lever. When any repeating-cylinder is to be put into action, the presence or absence of a peg on the chain 12 acts on one of four feelers 22, to remove one of the shields 32 and allow its cylinder to be driven. The governing - cylinder carrying the chain 12 may be a separate cylinder on the same shaft as the cylinder carrying the chain 13, or it may be on a different shaft.

Abstract: 26,892. Schneider, E. Nov. 22, 1911, [Convention date]. Periodic-counter speed indicators of the type comprising a weight raised for a certain time bv vehicle-driven means and then allowed to fall, are arranged so that the weight is detained temporarily at the highest point and the pointer mechanism released to enable the pointer to assume the new speed position. The weight in the form of a circularly-toothed sleeve 5 is feathered to a clock-rotated spindle 4 and is engaged by a vehicle-driven pinion 9, which raises it until a vertical gap in the teeth comes round. The weight is then held by a one-way ratchet-wheel 29 in engagement with a toothed sleeve 28 secured to the sleeve 5, until a gap in the sleeve 28 also comes round, whereupon the sleeves fall. During this period of retention of the sleeves by the ratchet-wheel 29, a pawl is actuated to release a rack which is connected with the pointer and is positioned by the sleeve 5, so that the pointer returns to the new position supposing that the speed has decreased.

Abstract: 23,180. Cooley, R. L. Oct. 14. Vacuum cleaning-apparatus.-A machine especially adapted for cleaning between rows of desks consists of a frame a mounted on wheels b, c and having two dust intakes, each comprising a fixed section d and an adjustable section e. The intakes are connected to an inlet n by passages o, p controlled by a slide valve 8, so that only one intake at a time is in communication with the inlet n, through which air is discharged on to the buckets j of a Pelton wheel i in a casing g which has an outlet q. A pipe r is telescopically held in the outlet q, and is connected to a tube t bent laterally and downwardly and connected by hose u to the suction main. The machine is fitted with curved guides v which are adjusted simultaneously with the dust - intake section e. To start the machine, the operator pushes the foot-piece 7 forward, thereby opening the passage o and closing the pas age p and simultaneously engaging the clutch members 3, 4, which causes the wheel i to drive the propelling- wheels c. The drag due to the hose causes the left guide v to hug the legs of the left side of the benches At the end of the forward travel, a sudden pull on the hose withdraws the pipe r and shifts the rod 5 and valve 8 by a projection 9. The machine is then pulled back by the hose along the right side of the benches.

Abstract: 24,644. Hill, T. Oct. 30. Bottles &c., washing. -Bottle - washing machines of the kind described in Specification 29,048/09 are modified in the following respects. (1) The raising and lowering movement of the external brushes to bring them into and out of contact with the bottles is effected automatically by linking the pivoted supporting- lever 14 to a longitudinal shaft 15 through the medium of a crank and connecting-rod. A slot 20 permits a certain amount of lost motion, thus maintaining both brushes 5, 6 in their extreme positions for a limited period to secure an efficient brushing operation and to permit the bottles to be inserted on and withdrawn from the internal brushes. This apparatus is duplicated at the other end of the shaft 15 for application to the four-bottle machine described in the above-mentioned Specification. (2) The brushing-machine is combined at each end with a rinsing-machine of known type, which is driven from one of the brush shafts through chain gearing 45 actuating a clutch worm shaft 38. In the combined machine, the shaft 38 is used also to drive the shaft 15 through spur gearing. The rinsers comprise nozzles 23 mounted on arms radiating from a rotary chambered head 24 which moves over a fixed head provided with a single orifice in connexion with a supply-pipe. A tray 27 delivers the used water through a spout 28 to the tank 1.

Abstract: 26,305. Gage, H. C. Nov. 17. Hairdressers' and like blocks; wigs.-Relates to the manufacture of wigs, postiches, &c., and consists (1) in a process whereby the hair is knotted to the net foundation under a surface skin or fabric, and then drawn through the skin or fabric, the materials being sub-illuminated during the process, and (2) in an illuminated hairdresser's block for use in the process. The block C has a recess cut therein to receive an electric lamp I, the recess being covered by a transparent celluloid panel B. A leather cap J is provided to receive the lamp fitting. The foundation G is secured to the block and the hair secured to the foundation in the usual manner, except at that part over the illuminated panel where it is intended the natural parting of the hair shall be. The skin E is next fixed at the front of the foundation and left in position for working through. The sub-illumination enables the working of the knotting-needle F to be observed through the skin E. The needle is inserted through the skin at any desired point, the loop of hair H being held beneath the skin. The knotting of any small number of hairs from the loop H to the foundation is then performed in the usual manner, and the hairs are drawn by the needle through the skin E, the hair being caused to take any desired direction above the skin according to the relative positions of the puncture in the skin and the knot on the foundation. The knots are invisible through the skin when the process is completed. Finally, the skin is permanently stitched to the foundation.
