The threads h, .s are placed in clamps 5, 6, 7, 8, the free ends being at 6, 8, and the thread h being placed below the thread s. A hook 11 is rotated over the thread s, engages the short end of the thread h, and pulls it over the thread s and around a guide peg 9. A hook 14 then engages the thread s from the underside and pulls it down and round the loop formed in the thread h, and incidentally around a third hook 17. This hook 17 is rotated, passing above the loop in the thread h and engages the end of the thread s held by the hook 14, removes it from the latter, and carries it back over the loop of the thread h and under the main part of the thread s itself. The spindles of the hooks are actuated by cords and pulleys. The cords are attached to levers 39, 45, 50 actuated by cams 36, 37, 38 on a spindle 21. This spindle is rotated by a strap coiled upon a pulley 24 fixed to the spindle, one end of which is secured to a slide block mounted on the underside of the plate 1. The shaft is rotated to actuate the mechanism when the block is drawn towards the hand by the finger of the operator. At the completion of the tying operation, the block is released and a coiled spring 31 returns the shaft and the parts of the knotting-device to their original positions. The device is secured to a pin 2 forming part of a usual handstrap fitting. In a second form of mechanism, shown in Fig. 17, a loop is first formed in the thread h around the thread s and a guide pin 65 by a hook 61, and then the thread s is carried round the thread h, as shown in Fig. 22, by a helical wire hook 66, which is given axial as well as rotational movement by engagement with a plate 81. The hook 66 is secured to a square spindle 67 rotated by a bevel-pinion 70. The bevel-toothed segment 71, actuating the pinion 70, is rotated by the finger of the operator. The hook 61 is operated positively by a catch on the segment 71 and is returned independently by a spring 78. The segment is returned by a spring 83.

Abstract: 4270. Geissinger, H. G. Feb. 20. Actuating.-Relates to mechanism applicable generally for controlling the movements of valves and dampers under automatic control, by means of which the valve &c. is retarded during a portion of its travel in either direction, while the extent of its unrestrained movement varies with the position from which the valve is moved. The mechanism is more particularly described for controlling valves in thermostats in order to obviate large oscillations of temperature due to the time lag in the operations of the thermostat. A valve 4, controlling hot and cold air supplies from ducts 1, 2 to a common duct 3, is operated by fluid under pressure admitted from a pipe 12 to an operating-piston 9 connected to the valve by links 6, 7. The fluid pressure from the pipe 12 is distributed by a piston control valve 15 operated by an electro-magnet under the control of a thermostat 19 situated in the distant room, the temperature of which is to be regulated. A double-ended dash-pot 31 is connected to a lever 27 engaging between the inclined lugs 25, 26 of the head 5 mounted on the operating-piston 9. From the extreme position shown in Fig. 1, the valve may be moved unrestrained through a distance a until the lug 25 strikes the lever 27, further movement being restrained by the dash-pot. From the opposite extreme position, obtaining in Fig. 3, the whole of the movement of the valve is under the restraint of the dash-pot.
