Inventor: GEE HERBERT HENRY
IPC: B60C5/04
Filed: 1913-03-10
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 20,496. Gee, H. H. March 10, 1913. Air tubes and chambers.-Inner or air tubes, of the kind in which an inner tube 1 is enclosed in an outer tube 2 having an internal diameter less than the external diameter of the inner tube when deflated, are formed of such materials and of such proportions that when the inner tube 1 is inflated the outer tube 2 is stretched approximately to its maximum extent. The inner tube is of pure rubber so as to cause it to adhere to the inner surface of the outer tube, when inflated, and to close any punctures. The outer tube is of a suitable composition containing rubber and fits the outer cover closely when inflated, and tends to relieve it of the strain due to internal pressure. The formation of the compound tube also prevents the tube from being nipped. The inner tube 1 is inserted into the tube 2 before the ends are joined, the valve stem 3<X> being formed with a detachable outer portion if necessary. The joints for the ends may be formed with engaging projections and recesses 6, or in any other manner, and may be solutioned or vulcanized.

Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 2854. Asa Lees & Co., Lembert, C., Kellner, W., and Clegg, J. W. Feb. 4. Driving-arrangements. -The driving-pulleys of a ring spinning and doubling frame together with a cone pulley are mounted on an independent shaft, and the frame is driven from the cone pulley by means of a belt, which engages another cone on one of the tin roller shafts and is automatically traversed to and fro across the cones at any predetermined time after a few layers have been wound, so as to vary the speed of the frame in accordance with the diameter of the cop. The cone belt is shifted bv means of a toothed quadrantlever n, which engages the belt-shifting bracket m and is operated by means of a cam p driven from the heart - cam shaft through a clutch q<1>, r<1>, which is automatically brought into gear by a spring lever t. As the ring-rail rises, a stop w<3> on one of the pokers moves a lever w, which thus allows a lever v<3> to pass within the range of a stop on the shaping-lever x and to be raised thereby so as to release the locking-catch u. The further lift of the ring rail causes an arm w<7> on the lever w to engage teeth in lever v<3> and withdraw it from the lever x. To ensure the correct relative positions of the heart cam and the cam p, the clutch may be dispensed with, a sliding part q<1> being provided with a pin q<3>, Fig. 6, which, when the part q<1> is moved by the lever t, engages a hole r<3> in the driving-wheel r<1> of the cam shaft. The cam is prevented from rotating until the clutch is geared, by means of a pin y<1>, which is withdrawn, when the lever t is operated, by means of a lever y and chain y<4> connected with an arm on the lever t. The cone belt is tensioned by a pulley f carried by adjustable brackets j. The belt shifter comprises brackets m sliding on guides and provided with tubes m<2> which engage the belt and act as antifriction rollers.

Title: Means for Automatically Controlling and Regulating Winding Engines or the like.
IPC: B65H54/74
Filed: 1913-06-02
Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 12,764. Butterley Co., and Drabble, C. E. June 2. Overwinding, preventing; regulating-gear for winding - apparatus.- Relates to the automatic control of steam or electric winding- engines, and comprises mechanism of the screw- and-nut type for cutting off the power supply and applying the brakes towards the end of the r u n, i n combination with means for preventing power from being again supplied to the engine until the reversing - lever has been thrown over. The driving-shaft 1 is geared to a threaded shaft 3 engaging nuts on a hollow rod 5 coupled to a lever or plate 6 which is thus rocked with a slow movement. The plate 6 is connected by a rod 8 to a bar 9, which carries a wedge 9<a>, Fig. 2, on its upper surface and is linked to the spindle 10 of the stop valve. A suspended pawl 12 normally forms a connexion between the throttle hand-lever 14 and the bar 9. The plate 6 has a slot 6<b> permitting the rod 8 to be thrown over by the action of the reversing-lever 20. To start the engine, the throttle valve is opened by moving the lever 14 to the left, and as the wind proceeds the rod 5 moves slowly to the left under the action of the screw-and-nut gear, until, towards the end of the run, the wedge 9<a> is drawn free of the pawl 12 thereby permitting a counterweight to close the throttle valve and to apply a brake. In order to re-establish the connexion between the spindle 10 of the valve and the hand-lever 14, it is necessary to throw over the reversing- lever 20, thus moving the end of the rod 8 along the slot 6<b> and drawing the wedge-bar 9 back to the position shown in Fig. 2. Steam can then be supplied to start the wind in the reverse direction. The lower part of the rod 11<a> carrying the pawl 12 is adjustable sideways by a handle 22 so as to provide for varying loads. When the invention is applied to electric winding-engines, a starting-switch is substituted for the steam valve.
