Patent GB-190812842-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to "Non-skidding" Devices for Mechanically Propelled Road Vehicles.
Inventor: RUTT ALFRED
Filed: 1908-06-16
Granted: 1909-05-07
Abstract: 12,842. Rutt, A. June 16. Gyroscopic apparatus for preventing or counteracting side-slipping in self-propelled vehicles. The fly-wheel A, or high-speed shaft, of the vehicle has a small friction-wheel a held against its periphery by means of a spring d and is connected to the spindle f of a heavy gyroscope wheel g by means of a flexible shaft e. The shaft and spindle may be rigidly fixed together; or they may be connected in such a manner that the wheel is driven in one direction only. The spindle f is carried by an arm h<1> of a bracket h by means of a hemispherical bearing so that it can tilt or swivel, and its lower end engages loosely in a slotted lever pivoted to the bracket h. The arm h' may be arranged to rotate in a socket on the bracket. A trailing rod j<2> is hinged to the lever j and has a rubber-shod wheel m pivoted to its lower end. The wheel is pressed on the ground by means of a spring or weight. The fork m' carrying the wheel is connected to the lever j through links n, o, p so that, when the wheel swivels, the lever is rotated and moves the gyroscope wheel out of its normal plane of rotation. The wheel spindle f is also deflected when the trailing rod is moved, and in both cases the gyroscopic action is stated to maintain or restore the equilibrium of the vehicle.

Inventor: TURLUR PAUL
Filed: 1908-11-05
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 23,721. Turlur, P. Nov. 5. Drying yarns. - The apparatus described in Specification No. 20,392, A.D. 1907, is modified by the division of the sized yarn into thinner warps and by the provision of a channel at the top of the apparatus through which the warps pass, and wherein they are traversed by air aspirated through them. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the warps after separation by the rollers C pass into a chamber wherein they are partly dried by air from a distribution chamber K containing steam coils, the moisture evolved passing through a recuperator 38 into the atmosphere. The warps pass sinuously through the parts 8, 10 wherein they are dried by air heated by the pipes F and through the aspirating-channel 13 through openings I in the bottom of which the air is drawn by a ventilator 46 and is returned to the part D of the drying-chamber. The ventilator also draws atmospheric air in at the part 45 and the tubes 38 by a connexion (not shown), and through the channel 46<a> to the part D.

Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 18,681. Still, W. M., and Adamson, A. G. Aug. 13. Steam-traps. - A. float raises a ball valve p to cut off steam from the upper side of a diaphragm chamber, the steam pressure on the lower side then causing the diaphragm e to open a discharge valve f; further upward movement of the float may cause a spring-controlled sleeve l to open a relief valve s, allowing steam to escape from the diaphragm chamber. The end h of a rod carrying the main valve is spherical in shape and is held in a recess in a fitting k secured to the diaphragm, the joint allowing a small movement between the parts. The float may be made of wood or cork treated with bitumen or turpentine ; or a hollow steel ball covered with zinc may be used. According to the Provisional Specification, the float may close a valve in the diaphragm chamber leading to a steamsupply pipe, and an equalizing spring-controlled ball or other valve may be used, opening automatically when the pressure on one side of the diaphragm has dropped to a certain extent.

Feeding sheets.-Relates to apparatus for printing identification marks on a series of papers &c., and is especially applicable to printing marks on several series of wrappers &c. fed to a machine by different attendants. Fig. 1 shows the device applied to a wrapping-machine fed by four attendants. The wrappers are fed along a trough 2 by a chain, and are passed between an impression pad 14 on the shaft 7, and the spider 16 which bears the printing- surfaces 17, 18, 19, 20 for printing the four series marks. The surfaces 17, 18, 19, 20 are inked by a wheel 22 carrying a spur-wheel 21 differing by one tooth from the wheel 15 from which it is driven, so that a fresh part of the surface comes into operation at each revolution. The spider 16 and the impression roll 14 are geared together and are so proportioned that for every complete revolution of the pad 14 the spider 16 makes three-quarters of a revolution, so that the four surfaces 17, 18, 19, 20 print in succession on four consecutive wrappers. The pad 14 is driven by gearing from a shaft 6 rotated by a sprocket-wheel 10, which engages the lower run of the feed-chain 4. A modification is described for printing on the underside of the wrappers.

Abstract: 21,107. Ogston, H. N., and Napier & Son, D. Sept. 10 Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies and undercarriages on.-Relates to rear bearing-springs of the three-quarter elliptic type for motor - vehicles, and consists in providing a floating cross-bar which connects the free ends of the springs on both sides of the vehicle to prevent twisting of the frame. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation and Fig. 2 a plan of one arrangement of three-quarter elliptic springs of the under-slung type to which the invention is applied. The semi-elliptic springs B on each side of the vehicle are hinged at their forward ends D to the frame members A, and at their rear ends they are connected through a shackle E with quarter-elliptic springs G. A floating cross-bar F connects the rear ends of the springs on each side of the vehicle to prevent torsional strains from coming on the side frame members A. The spring G is hinged to the frame member A at H, and is embraced by a yoke L pivoted at M to the frame A. The invention is also shown applied to a suspension in which the spring G is arranged between the frame A and the semi-elliptic spring B, and has one end fixed to the frame A.

Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 23,321. Hathaway, E. F., and Lea, C. April 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Tuft - yarn tubes, threading. - In a machine for threading tuftyarns through the tubes used in Axminster and like carpet looms, a comb or toothed device, which holds the ends of the yarns, is first moved laterally to cause the threading-needles to engage the yarns, and is afterwards moved so as to free itself from the yarns. The ends of the yarns pass upwards from a spool 2, Fig. 5, and are normally held in place by a comb 5, Fig. 4. carried bv a bar 7 mounted on arms 29 secured to a shaft 30. When the needles 4 have been passed through the tubes 9 by means of the cam-actuated rack 15, the shaft 30 is moved axially through a short distance by means of a cam on a lever 35 operated by a cam-actuated rod 41, thus moving the comb 5 laterallv so that the yarns are laid across the hooked ends of the needles 4. When the needles have made a portion of their return movement, they are held stationary for a short time and the comb 5 is disengaged from the yarns by means of the lever 35, which engages a pin 49 and thus rocks the shaft 30, so that the arms 29 are carried to the position indicated in dotted lines. The device may be applied to a machine in which there is only one threading-needle, in which case the rotary movement of the comb 5 helps to release the yarn seized by the needle, but is not sufficient to disturb the other yarns.

Abstract: 29,197. Wardwell, S. W., and Parks, E. F. Dec. 15. Braiding-machines.-The yarn supply is wedged on to rotatable holder comprising a ratchet base 11, a stem 8, and a spring retaining-latch 10, and the unwinding of the supply is controlled by the tension of the yarn acting to swing a spring wire arm 23 about a vertical shaft 15 and cause a lower arm 19 to operate the near end of the detent 12. This detent is normally held in engagement with the ratchet teeth 13 by a spring 17, one end of which is connected to a pivoted plate 27. This plate is normally held in position by notches 32, and can be moved from one notch to another to vary the tension of the spring 17. The spring- arm 23 carrying a thread eye 25 is mounted loosely on the shaft 15, and minor variations of tension do not affect the unwinding of the supply. When the arm 23 is appreciably deflected, an adjacent leaf spring 18 attached to the shaft 15 as shown in Fig. 3 is also deflected, by which means the detent 12 is released ; under extreme deftexion a stopmotion is also actuated.
