Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 5031. Pollen, A. H., and Isherwood, H. March 2, Protractors.-Relates to means for plotting the course of a target ship from a knowledge of its range and bearing angle or compass bearing. A device 2, representing the observing ship, is traversed along a graduated bar 1 by means of a screw 3 rotated from a handle 4 at a rate proportional to the observing ship's speed by the means described in Specification 25,654/08, [Class 106 (iii), Fares &c.]. This device 2 carries fixed to it a disk 5 graduated in degrees and a pivoted disk 6 graduated like a compass card, the first disk being used to give the position of the centrully pivoted and graduated arm 7 when the bearing angle of the target is known and the other when the compass bearings of both ship and target are given. The arm 7 being set to the bearing of the target and the range being known the chart can be pricked at the point indicated. When a series of positions for the target are thus pricked out, a two-disk and pivoted arm arrangement 10, 11, 13 mounted on parallel linkages 9 can be applied to it to determine the bearing of the target's course and its speed. If the ship itself changes its course, the record sheet is unpinned from its board, a pivot pin inserted in a slot at a point distant from the centre of the disk 5 equal to the radius of the ship's turning circle and the paper is then turned about this point through the angle the ship itself turns. Specification 23,872/04 is referred to.

Granted: 1910-10-28
Abstract: 17,495. Nasmith, J. W. July 28. Combing-machines.-In order to extend the duration of the detaching period, a continuous forward movement is imparted to the detaching-roller, or to both detaching-rollers when two are used as described in Specification 16,001/01, and the action of such rollers is made independent of the piecing-rollers, either or both of which are mounted in fixed bearings. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, two uniformly rotating detaching-rollers D, D<1> are used and are independent of piecing-rollers P, P<1>, which rotate back and forth and are removed from proximity of the combing needles, thereby enabling the time for piecing to be extended beyond the usual limits, which ordinarily are determined by the passage of the last row of needles past the detaching-roller and the commencement of the detaching operation. A single detaching-roller D, Fig. 3, with or without an endless band b, may be used, and co-operates with the fluted segment of the comb cylinder, continuously-rotating carrier-rollers C, C<1> being used to conduct the tufts to the piecing-rollers P, P<1>. The detaching-roller is carried by a weighted lever B, which is arranged to be supported by a cam-operated lever L, so that the full weight is only on the roller when it is in contact with the fluted segment. When an endless band is used, the detaching-roller is weighted by a superimposed roller H carried by the lever B. The top comb and detaching-rollers may be caused to approach each other by means of an oscillating shaft W, which is connected by brackets R, G with the nipper frame, upon which the top comb is pivoted, and the lever B respectively. In order to keep the top carrier roller close to the detaching-roller, the centres of the rock-shaft Wand the rollers are disposed approximately in a straight line. In place of a nipper pivoted on the cylinder shaft, the ordinary Nasmith nipper may be used. According to the Provisional Specification, a jet of air may be used to press the end of the lap on to the needles of the comb cylinder; and the weighting-roller may be carried independently of the weighted lever, and may be independently driven.
