Title: Improvements in Double Lift Dobby Motions for Looms.
Inventor: STAEUBLI HERMANN
Filed: 1906-02-24
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 4592. Stõubli, H. Feb. 24. Loom dobbies. - A double-lift dobby is constructed in such a manner as to act efficiently when the loom is reversed. The pattern-chain barrel 11 is mounted in fixed bearings, and is driven by worm and chain gearing. The pattern pegs 13 act through lifting-levers 22 and locking- catches 10 to raise double lifting-catches 4, of which the lower hook 5 is formed in a piece with the catch and the upper hook 6 is pivoted thereto and is provided with a supporting-lug 7. The lifting-blades 8, 9 are pivoted to the driving-lever 1, which is oscillated by a connecting-rod and crank. The levers 22 have projections x, y with intermediate recesses. When a lever 22 is raised by a pin 13 acting on the projection x, a catch 5 or 6 is raised by the catch 10 into the path of its blade 9 or 8, so that, as the lever 1 oscillates, the hook is displaced and the heald is raised through a beil-crank lever 14 and cord 15. The pin 13 passes into the recess in the lever 22 as the next pin comes into action, and finally acts on the projection y and raises the lever 22 and the catch 10 just before the hook, which has been displaced and returned, is disengaged from its blade. If the beald is to remain up for two or more shots, the next pin raises the catch 10, so that it engages a notch 23 in the catch 4 as the latter returns. When the loom is driven backwards, the action is reversed, the action of the pins 13 on the projections y setting the hooks 5, 6 in the desired positions with respect to the blades 9, 8. The projections x, y may be formed on two levers 22, which are pivoted on opposite sides of the cylinder and which may be arranged in line with half of the recess formed on each lever, or overlapping with a recess formed on each lever. The levers 22 may be dispensed with, in which case the projections x, y and the intermediate recesses are formed on the catches 10.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Attaching Box-corner Stays
Inventor: BROOKES ALFRED GEORGE
Filed: 1906-04-03
Granted: 1907-01-31
Abstract: 8023. Brookes, A. G., [Knowlton Co., M. D.]. April 3. Box-making machines.-The machine shown in Figs. 1, 4, and 6, of the kind described in Specification No. 367, A.D. 1895, is adapted by means of a detachable gauge to apply either turned-in or plain stays to the corners of paper, paperboard, or like boxes. The stay-strip 13, Fig. 1, passes from a reel 58, through a device 59 which folds it into a V-form, and through water or paste-applying devices. It is then fed forward preferably by clamping-jaws 33, reciprocated by the cam-operated lever 35, between the cutters 14, 32 and over a box-corner 68 supported on dies 8, 9, 10 carried by the stock 11, so that the inner end of the box abuts against the gauge 65. The die 10 is meanwhile drawn back by the lever 46 and pin 45, the stop 55, the rod 49, and the springs 50, 53 co-acting to place the die 9 as shown in Fig. 4. The die 7 and the cutter 14 then descend, the cutter severing the strip between itself and the fixed cutter 32 and turning down the part 69. The die 7 is carried by a stock 6, operated by a link 15 with an elongated slot receiving the pin 17 fixed to a block 18, which has a limited independent movement in a recess of the die-stock. A lug 22 of the pin 17 is screwed to receive the sleeve 23, through which loosely passes a rod 24 bearing on the cutter 14, which has a slot receiving a pin fixed to the die-stock 6 and forced normally downwards by the spring 28. The tension of the spring is adjusted by rotation of the sleeve 23, which is then secured by the lock-nut lever 29. After the stay-strip has been severed, the lever 46 moves the die 10 forward to turn the end of the strip inside the box and lay it in place, the dies 8, 9, 10 being then grouped together to form a continuons-bed die-surface. The die 7 then exerts a greater pressure, the play at the block 18 having been taken up, for which the. spring 21 yields. The stock 11 is adjustable by means of a rack and pinion to accommodate boxes of various depths. When moved forward, the pin 38 moves the lever 37 so as to allow the spring 35<1> to pull back the lever 35 and the feeding-devices 33 to provide for feeding a longer stay-strip. When it is moved backward, the lever 37 moves the lever 35 forward to shorten the length of strip fed to the cutters. To apply a plain stay 12<1>, Fig. 6, to a box, the gauge 65 is removed, and the box rests with its inner edge below the place of severance of the strip 13. The cutter 14 serves as an auxiliary die, damage being prevented by its yielding against the spring 28.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Tremblers for Induction Coils
Inventor: BRYANT CHARLES HENRY
Filed: 1906-04-12
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 8915. Bryant, C. H. April 12. Switches.-Tremblers for induction coils for explosion engines &c. are operated by varying the resistance or pressure between the contact-points without separating them, which operation may be ejected by the movement of an armature connected to the main contact-spring by a weak secondary spring. This method of operation may also be applied to tremblers in which the contacts separate. The main spring A, which may be reinforced by a bent spring H, carries a sleeve A', in which slides freely a pin E' bearing the armature E. A weak spring F is interposed between the head E<2> and the spring A. With each forward movement of the armature towards the core G, the spring F is compressed until the head E<2> meets the end of the sleeve A<2> and produces a sudden fall of pressure between the contact points B, C. In less rapid tremblers, the points may-be allowed to separate.

To each end of the pipe is bolted a ring b ; two of the bolts carry a curved bar e provided with pressure screws f, and at the lower end also with a third screw to form a bearing for the end of the log A. The ends of the log project through the conical openings in the rings b, and rubber packing-rings k are forced into these openings and against the periphery of the log by means of the screws f acting at the upper end on the cover h and at the lower end on the washer i. Instead of the washer i, a second cover h, to be connected with a vacuum pump, may be provided. In operation, the inlet l to the cover h and the inlet m of the pipe a are connected first with an air-compressor, in order to drive out the sap at the lower end, and then with the receptacle of impregnating-liquid under pressure. Air may be forced into the pipe while liquid is forced into the wood so as to prevent lateral penetration. If it be desired to impregnate only part of the length of the log, a rubber-covered dividing-ring is inserted between two sections of the pipe a so as to fit close against the surface of the wood. The liquid is then supplied to the pipe l and after impregnating the upper portion of the log leaves by an upper outlet, penetration into the lower part being prevented by supplying compressed air to that part of the pipe a. By this neans poles, for instance, may be first completely impregnated with sublimate or copper sulphate, and then at their lower ends with tar oil.
