Title: Improvements in Swivel Power Looms for Weaving Figured Goods.
Inventor: BIRCHENOUGH WILLIAM TAYLOR
Filed: 1904-12-23
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 28,199. Birchenough, W. T., and Wood, A. Dec. 23. Swivel looms; stop-motions.-In swivel looms of the type described in Specification No. 11,830, A.D. 1899, the swivel-rack and weft-fork hammer motions are mounted inside the loom frame opposite the driving side of the loom. On the tappet-shaft b is loosely mounted a slidable disc c, which is driven by a carrier fixed to the tappet-shaft, and is normally pressed away from the loom side by a spring. When the swivel rack is to operate, a jacquard cord 10 acts upon a pivoted lever 8 carrying an antifriction bowl 11, which is lowered and acts upon the cam-edge of a rim s on the discs c, thus moving the disc towards the loom side. One of two teeth d on the disc then acts upon and partially rotates a star-wheel n, to which is attached an arm or disc o, connected by a rod p and a pivoted lever q to a rod r, which is connected in the usual way by a bell-crank lever and a rod to the swivel rack, whereby the latter is moved longitudinally. A cam g on the disc c acts upon a roller on a pivoted lever h, whereby the lever is moved downwards against the action of a spring, and lowers the swivel rack through a rod l. When the lower end of the lever 8 is raised again, the disc c returns to its former position, and pins v on the rim s operate upon and rotate a star-wheel u. A cam w on the side of the star-wheel acts upon a roller y on a pivoted lever x, which is thereby oscillated and acts through a rod and a lever to operate the weft-fork hammer lever. A rod connected to the saddle of the picking-lever actuates the lever x when the star-wheel u is at rest.

Patent GB-190515502-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Combined Automatic and Non-automatic or Straight Air Brake Apparatus.
Inventor: FARMER FRED BERTRAND
Filed: 1905-07-28
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 15,502. Farmer, F. B., and Turner, W. V. Sept. 1, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Brakes.-In a combined automatic and straight air brake system for locomotives, a valve is provided, in addition to the usual check valve, for the purpose of permitting the release of the brakes by means of the straight air brake valve after an automatic application, and of preventing the pressure in the locomotive brake cylinders from being increased by air from the triple valve when a service application is made after a straight application on the locomotive and yet permitting such an increase in an emergency application. Fig. 1 shows the usual arrangement of main reservoir 2, automatic brake valve 4 and train-pipe 6, triple valves 8, auxiliary reservoirs 9, check valves 11, brake cylinders 13, straight air brake valve 14, and straight air pipe 17. Fig. 2 shows the check valve 32 and the additional valve 20. The brake cylinder is connected at 12, the straight air pipe at 17, and the triple valve at 10. In an automatic application, air from the triple valve moves the valve 32 to the left and passes to the brake cylinder, the valve 20 being held closed by a spring 30 and the pressure in the passage 10. On the admission of straight air to the passage 17, the valve 20 is opened by a piston 23, and the air from the brake cylinder and the passage 10 is exhausted through a port 22. The check valve 32 then moves to the right, and the brakes can be applied and released by means of straight air. If a service application is made after the locomotive brakes have been applied by straight air, the air coming from the triple valves escapes through the valve 20 and port 22, but, if an emergency application is made, the rush of air acting on a piston or diaphragm 29 lifts the piston 23 and allows the valve 20 to close. The straight air above the piston 23 can then escape by grooves 28 and a port 27, so that the valve 20 is not opened again. At the same time, the valve 32 is moved to the left and the increased pressure is admitted to the brake cylinder.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Joining of Parts of Cast Iron to each other.
Inventor: MAGNUS DAVID GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1905-08-16
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 16,647. Magnus, D. G. H., and Elliott, A. G. Aug. 16. Soldering; casting.-A process for uniting parts of cast iron together, applicable also for filling up holes in castings, consists in clamping the portions in position, making a groove in the line of the mould, heating nearly to the melting-point by a reducing-name, and melting cast iron in small portions into the grooves. The oxy-hydrogen flame with an excess of hydrogen is preferably used, and the cast iron may be applied by melting a stick in the flame or by melting separately in a crucible, refractory strips being provided where necessary to prevent the molten metal from running where not desired. In any case, the metal must be added in small quantities, and borax or other flux maybe added from time to time to keep the surfaces clean. The heating is primarily effected by a charcoal or other fire to a dull red-heat, and after the process is completed, the work is allowed to cool down slowly, conveniently by covering up the heated part with burning charcoal and allowing the latter to burn out.
