Granted: 1902-04-24
Abstract: 8471. Bowker, T., and Gyte, W. April 25. Stop-motions; rollers and roller heads.-Each end of the top roller C is fitted with a notched disc or ratchet F, which, when a thread breaks or becomes slack, are engaged by the extremities of the forked lever H<x> connected at its lower end with a thread-guide I, the result being that the rotation of the roller C is stopped and it is thrown over the upper part of the roller A, when it roils down the guides D to the bearings Dx, where it remains entirely out of action until the thread has been pieced &c. In Fig. 4, the threads are passed over the rail J, between the rollers, over the top roller C, round the pegs K, and again between the rollers to the guide I and the spindles. In Fig. 5, the thread passes round both rollers in the manner shown, and is delivered from the top of the roller C. In Fig. 3, the lower roller is shown carried by levers T, and dips into a moistening-trough U. In Figs. 5 and 3, each thread is passed on its way to the lower roller A through a slotted pin P, which, when the thread breaks, is pushed by the upper roller through its aperture in the rail N, so as to clamp the thread and prevent its further delivery.

Abstract: 9590. Royal, B. G. May 8. Phonographs. -In a gramophone or similar talking-machine, the turntable 5, carrying the record 6, is normally locked by a rod 21 secured to the spring-raised arm 19 of a bell-crank lever pivoted at 16. When the lever arm 19 is depressed, a spring-pressed catch lever 24 engages a pin 23 on the arm 17 so as to hold it down until a pin 18 on a star-wheel 14 pushes the arm 17 back. The star-wheel is operated by a pin 13 on a wheel 9 driven by a worm 8 on the operating- spindle 1, which is actuated by a spring motor and controlled by a governor 3.
