IPC: B65H9/06
Filed: 1909-03-03
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 5190. Nuttall, J. March 3. Feeding sheets; sheet-registering devices.-Relates to means for feeding and registering sheets of paper and the like, particularly adapted for use with the side registering mechanism described in Specification 11,636/08. The sheets are fed against an adjustable gauge on a feed-board 1, and ara thence conveyed forward by a series of tapes 11 passing around rollers 9, 10. The shaft 10 is driven by chain gearing from a shaft 29, driven by gearing from a cam shaft 25, which is driven by bevel-gearing 23 from a shaft 20 rotated by a chain 18 and gearing 15, 16 from the cylinder 14. A roller 12 is lowered on to the sheet by a cam on the shaft 25, and the sheet is fed up to a series of rising and falling stops 32 which are controlled by the same cam and assist to square the sheet. The stops 32 are then raised and the sheet passes on to stops 42, also controlled by a cam on the shaft 25, When the stops 42 are raised, the sheet passes on to the front lay 50, after which it is registered sideways by a bar 49 as described in Specification 11,636/08. The whole apparatus on the frame 6 may turn on a central pivot, and the sheets may be prevented from buckling by bars 51.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Circular Looms.
IPC: D03D37/00
Filed: 1909-03-18
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 6532. Petersen, A., and Petersen Circular Loom Co. March 18. Shuttles.-In a circular loom, the shuttles 15, Figs. 1 and 10, have rollers 20, 21 which engage respectively with the inclined faces 19 of rings 16, 17 and with dents 19 of the reed. Two or more additional rollers 23, 24 rest on the upper portion of a ring 6 and press home the weft. The shuttles .are driven by rollers 22 carried by a rotating ring 12. If the weft from a shuttle bobbin 71, Fig. 10, breaks or becomes unduly slack, the spring - controlled pivoted arm 74 moves into the position shown in dotted lines and makes an additional electric connexion, for stop-motion purposes, between the body end of .the shuttle and a bar 79 insulated from the .body of the shuttle. The bar 79 is connected .electrically by means of metal strips 84 and vertical pins 83, to a ring 81 insulated from the loom framework, and the body of the shuttle is electrically connected to the framework by a metal strip 82 bearing against the dents 18 of the reed. The shuttle peg 70 is removably held in place by a.spring-controlled slide 89 engaging the square end of the peg.

Patent GB-190913653-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Rotary Compressors and Vacuum Pumps or Exhausters.
Inventor: PITTLER WILHELM VON
IPC: F01C21/08
Filed: 1909-06-10
Granted: 1910-06-10
Abstract: 13,653. Pittler, W. von. Dec. 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Movable-abutment type; regulating pumps; starting. - Relates to rotary compressors or vacuum pumps having axiallysliding abutments. Means are provided for setting the abutments out of action when the desired pressure or vacuum is exceeded. The piston 3, a development of the periphery of which is shown in Fig. 4, is provided with projecting vanes 3<a>, 3<b> arranged symmetrically on either side. Each vane is provided with a packing-bar 7 and camsurfaces on either side against which the abutments 5<a>, 5<b> bear. Bushes 4 surrounding the piston shaft 2 guide the lower edges of the sliding abutments. The compressor, shown in the drawings, has a suction pipe 9 leading to ports 8, and discharge ports 10, provided with non-return valves, are arranged at the openings to the abutment-recesses, and lead to the pipe 11. The abutments are submitted to the pressure of the compressed fluid, which is admitted behind them by a cock 27, a pistonvalve, and passages 14<a>, 14<b>, 15, 16. The piston valve has two heads 17, 17<1> of different area, and the pressure of a spring 18 is so adjusted by a screw 19 that the valve is in equilibrium when the desired pressure is ob tained by the compressor. Any additional pressure will close the valve and shut off the fluid supply to the abutments, which will remain in the inoperative position. A screw 20 limits the downward motion of the valve, and a duct 21<1> affords communication with the atmosphere. An auxiliary reservoir 22 of compressed air, connected by a pipe 25 and cock 26 to the abutment casing, may be employed at starting, and springs may also be provided which can be rendered inoperative either automatically or by hand. A check valve 24 prevents the return of compressed air from the auxiliary reservoir 22 to the main receptacle, when the pressure in the latter decreases. The duct 12 and cock 27 may be omitted if the pipe 25 is connected to the valve-casing 13. The ascending slopes of the piston vanes 3<a>, 3<b> have a small gradient to prevent the abutments from being thrown back too violently when relieved of fluid-pressure.

Abstract: 22,021. Lund, J. P. H. Sept. 27. Rudders ; steering-gear stopping way.-Relates to duplex or quadruplex balanced rudders of the type which can be turned parallel with one another so as to steer the vessel, or can be set to different angles in relation to one another in the stream of fluid from the propeller, so as to retard the speed of, or to reverse the vessel. The heads or shanks C, Figs. 1 and 2, of the rudders A are connected by pinions K and two separate toothed sectors H to the tiller G, which is pivoted at J and is operated from the steering- wheel by the usual means. In order to set the rudders A at an angle to each other, a screw L, Fig. 1, carried by the forward end of the tiller G, actuates a traversing nut or cross-head M, Figs. 1 and 2, which is connected on either side by links N to the toothed sectors H. The screw L is operated by means of a chain P from a wheel mounted on the same spindle as the steering-wheel. When the rudders are in the reversing position, a stern-post F prevents the passage of water between their adjacent edges. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the rudders A are each provided with a tiller G, which is connected by a link G<2> with an intermediate tiller G'. The links N are connected to cranks T on the heads or shanks C. Specification 1254/09, is referred to,
