Title: Improvements in Spinning Apparatus.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
IPC: D01H1/06
Filed: 1911-12-27
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 29,143. Haddan, R., [Belanger Spinning Process Co.]. Dec. 27. Spindle apparatus; anti-ballooning arrangements ; thread-guides; lifting-rails; doffing-arrangements. -In spinning-apparatus, such as described in Specification 7106/11, wherein the yarn is frictionally assisted by means of a cap splined to the spindle, the cap is supported laterally and longitudinally and is provided with a flange for engaging the yarn, a bail or rod is provided for moving the yarn to the base of the spindle, and separators are arranged between the spindles. The cap is supported longitudinally and laterally by disks c<5>, c<6> mounted on a spindle c<2>, which is carried in a socket mounted in a hollow lifting-rail d through which lubricant is supplied. The socket is mounted eccentrically in a bolster c<4> to permit of adjustment. The disks may be mounted loosely on the spindle so that they rotate at different speeds, and the spindle may be arranged so that the opposed surfaces of the disks and cap are tangential to each other, as shown in Fig. 12. A flange on the cap serves to prevent the yarn from engaging with the spindle. A shock-absorbing sleeve b<6> is mounted between the cap and a bush b<2>, and spring keys b<3>, b<4> connect the cap with the bush and the bush with the bobbin. A pivoted bail f is operated to move the yarn extending from the cap to the thread-guide to the base of the spindle preparatory to doffing, suitable guides d' for the bail being mounted on the lifting-rail. The separator blades are coupled to a longitudinal rod g by springs and pins, so that they may be operated simultaneously by turning the rod, and may also be moved independently by turning them against the springs. The guides d' serve also to lift the thread-guides during the latter half of the building of the cop by reason of their engagement with stops projecting from the thread boards.

Patent GB-191304984-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Levels, especially intended for use with Guns.
Inventor: COLLEY CLARENCE CHRISTOPHER
IPC: F41G1/44
Filed: 1913-02-27
Granted: 1915-08-05
Abstract: 4984. Colley, C. C. Feb. 27. Levels and clinometers; angle-measuring instruments.-Relates to levels, especially intended for use with guns, of the kind in which, when the level is horizontal, mercury or a solid body closes an electric current and thereby actuates an alarm. The invention consists in the combination of an improved device of this kind, with means whereby the angle of elevation or depression of a distant object with respect to the horizontal plane may be read. Although specially intended for determining the angle of site in laying guns, the apparatus can also be used in surveying operations. The level is attached to a field glass, telescope, or similar instrument, to the clinometer sight of a gun, or to a small-arm. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the level 1 is attached to binoculars. Mercury in the bore 2 connects two contacts 4, 5 when the binoculars are horizontal and causes a buzzer to operate. The elevation of the target is then read on a graticulated disk provided within the binoculars. Instead of a buzzer, a device to give a visual indication may be employed. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the level is mounted on a telescope (not shown), which is sighted with its axial line on the target; the level is then moved by means of a screw 14 until it is horizontal; the angle of site is then shown on a scale 17. In Fig. 5, the invention is shown applied to a rocking-bar clinometer sight as used with field artillery; the level is mounted at 20 in place of the ordinary level; otherwise the construction is as usual. A modified construction of level is shown in Fig. 6 applied to the stock of a small-arm. The contacts are depending points which both touch the mercury when the level is horizontal; an upper boring 23 allows the mercury to take up its proper position quickly after it has been displaced during transport. The level is adjusted with reference to a scale 26. Instead of mercury, a metal ball may be used.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Change Speed Gear of Power Transmission.
Inventor: LAIDMAN GEORGE HENRY
IPC: G05G9/10
Filed: 1913-11-07
Granted: 1915-02-25
Abstract: 25,500. Laidman, G. H. Nov. 7. Controlling variable-speed gearing. - Selector rods a<1>, b<1>, c<1>, which operate variable - speed gearing through arms a, b, c, are actuated in turn by a selector lever f, which is capable of a small lateral movement relatively to an operating-shaft g. The rods a<1>, b<1>, c<1> slide in bearings d, d<1>, which have spring stops e, Fig. 3, for locking the rods in proper positions, and keys e<1> for steadying them. Inclined slots a<2>, b<2>, c<2> in the rods, which are adapted to be engaged by the lever f, which is pivoted to the shaft g, are in line in the neutral configuration shown in Fig. 2. A bar k, which slides along with the shaft g under the rods a<1>, b<1>, c<1>, is adapted to lock these rods by engaging stops a<3>, a<4> on the rod a<1>, b<3>, b<4> on the rod b<1>, and c<3>, c<4> on the rod c<1>, respectively. A gap k<1> in the bar k is wide enough to allow one of the rods to move freely through it. A lever h, which works the shaft g, moves in a gate i, which may be of the form shown in Fig. 2, or may have guide-strips extending across the opening in it. The lever h may be moved freely along a neutral line A, or, allowing for the lateral movement of the lever f, along a neutral line A<1>. Four speeds and reversed driving are effected when the lever h is moved to positions numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The lateral movement of the lever f, which is limited by stops m, Fig. 1, is equal to half the width of one of the rods a<1> &c., and the function of this movement is to allow the speed changes to be carried out by continuous movements of the lever h without intermediate pauses. The stops b<3>, a<4>, Fig. 2, are each half the width of a rod, and to ensure that one only of these rods can be operated at once, a pivoted locking-bolt p, Figs. 2 and 3, is arranged between the rods engaging always with a recess in one of the rods. Instead of having the lever f pivoted and engaging inclined slots a<2> &c., the slots may be straight across and the lever f may be connected to the shaft g by a screw of steep pitch. Or the connexion may be by an inclined pivot. The invention is applicable upon motor-vehicles, motor-boats, and machine tools.
