Title: Improvements in Devices for Air Tight Enclosing of the End Faces of Tree Stems.
Inventor: KRESSE CARL
Filed: 1906-04-17
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 9098. Kresse, C. April 17. Wood, treating for preserving &c.-An air-tight appliance to enclose the end faces of tree stems comprises a rubber ring a over which fits a metal ring b both of wedgeshaped cross - section, and a receiver c wide enough at its upper portion to admit these but narrowed at the lower portion so as to form a seating for the ring a. On the upper portion of the receiver are adjustably secured a number of cross-pieces d which are provided with set-screws by means of which the ring b may be forced against the ring a, which thus makes tight connexion with both the receiver and the tree stem. A steel band e is bound round the upper end of the ring a, and its ends are passed through holes in the receiver and secured by nuts.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Bobbinet or Tulle Weaving Looms.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1906-04-28
Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 9 9 9 5 . Haddan, H. J., [Maschinenfabrik Kappel]. April 28. Lace machines, fabric take-up and measuring apparatus for. The object is to provide, in the mannfacture of bobbin-net or tulle, for an increase in the tension of the warps, corresponding to the automatic increase in the tension of the bobbin threads, due to the emptying of the bobbins. The take-up roller has a shaft 18, which is rotated by a wormwheel 17 keyed to it and gearing with a worm on a cross-shaft 5. The shaft 5 can be rotated by means of the hand-wheel shown or by a ratchet-wheel 10. The ratchet-wheel is driven by a reciprocating rod 2 through three pawls 9 pivoted on a radius arm 4. Only one of the pawls 9 is in engagemeat at a time ; thus the movement of the wheel 10 may be any multiple of one-third of a ratchet tooth. In order to effect a variable stroke, the end of the rod 2 is slid in a radial slot 43 of the arm 4 by a link 40 connected to a slide on a screwed shaft 37. This shaft is actuated through helical spur gearing from a shaft 22 on which is a sleeve carrying a disk 24, Fig. 2, and a toothed wheel 23, the latter being connected by spur and worm gear to a screwed part of the take-up shaft 18. The disk 24 is rotatable inside a fixed scale 25, Fig. 1, and has a dovetail circular groove 26 on its face, by means of which and a pin-and-nut connexion 28 a pointer 29 on a disk 34 can be set to zero. The disk 34 is similarly connected to an arm of the shaft 22 by a nut 31. Before the machine is started, the disk 34 is released from the shaft 22 and the latter is turned by a handwheel to set the driving-arm 2 in the position for driving the take-up roller at the speed desired, the adjustment being indicated by a pointer 47 travelling over a scale 45. The warp threads can be tensioned by rotation of a hand-wheel.

Abstract: 15,967. Bonnamy, L. A. July 14. Needle-threaders.-A needle-threader comprises a centre plate a, Fig. 6, carrying the threadirigmechanism, and two cover-plates b, c one of which has a removable part to expose the working parts. The top of the threader is grooved from opposite ends to receive two needles, if desired, the heads of which abut against a stop t, Fig. 5, at'the bottom of two transverse grooves f, g in which the thread is placed. In this position, the eyes of the needles are over two hooks h, Fig. 7, which are raised by the lever k, Fig. 5, and pass through the eyes to . engage the thread and to pull it through the eyes when the books are lowered again. The hooks are fixed on a carrier j. Fig. 7, which is engaged by a projection n on the lever k. The opposite side of the threader is fitted with a large claw adapted to thread needles with large eyes. The claw is carried by a slide operated by the lever 5. In the modification shown in Fig. 12, the hook slides are operated by bell-crank levers 9, 9<a> actuated by push-rods 12, 13. Pins 14, 15 in the push-rods are adapted to drop in recesses 16, 17 and lock the push-rods according to the position in which the threader is held.

Deep-boring. - Relates to deep-boring apparatus of the type in which the support for the drill spindle is swivelled so that it can be placed at any angle in a vertical plan<p>, and includes supporting - means for the spindle, hydraulic feeding-means, and changespeed gearing for the drill combined with hoisti n g - means. The drill spindle can be swung out of line with the drill hole independently o f t h e angular adjustment in a vertical plane. The supporting-elements for the drill spindle comprise a frame member 10 having an annular projection 15 ; an intermediate member 11, having a ring - like portion 16 rotating on the projection 15 and clamped in any desired position thereon by bolts 26 with overhanging heads engaging the ring 16; and a drill-carrying member 12, hinged at 20 to the member 11 and clamped in the working position by the engagement of a bolt on the intermediate member with lugs 25 on the member 12. For feeding and lifting the drill rod, the piston-rods 38 of hydraulic cylinders 36 are secured to a crosshead 39 arranged between thrust bearings carried by a quill 29 coupled to the drill rod. The driving bevel-wheel 32 has a splined connexion with the quill to permit the longitudinal movement. Water passes by a pipe 47 to a controlling-valve 44, Fig. 7, and thence either to the upper or lower ends of the cylinders by pipes 43, 46; the exhaust passes away by a pipe 48 furnished with a graduating- valve 49 for controlling the speed of movement of the pistons. When it is desired to rotate the drill at a lower speed, the bevel-wheel 34 is removed from the driving - shaft and attached to a countershaft 58, and the bevel-wheel 32 is raised to mesh therewith, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. A clutch then connects the spur-wheel 62 with the shaft 35, and the drill is driven through reducing-gearing 64, 63, 60. A band brake 67 retards the rotation when desired. The usual winding-drum 59 is mounted on the countershaft.
