Patent GB-191026936-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Jacquard Embroidering Machines.
IPC: D05C7/04
Filed: 1910-11-19
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 26,936. Vogtlõndische Maschinen- Fabrik (vorm. J. C. & H. Dietrich) Akt.-Ges. Nov. 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Embroidery machines. - In an automatic embroidery machine alternatively acting stitchforming devices and alternatively acting auxiliary implements, are controlled by the same jacquard device, the connexion of the controlling device with the stitch-forming devices being such that the operation of changing-over from the stitch-forming to the use of the auxiliary implements transfers the control from the former to the latter. In the example shown, in changing over from embroidering, the needles are first stopped by the jacquard gear 80, 9, 10. In this movement a bar 63 is brought, by a bar 54, opposite to a bar 36 and then a jacquard pin 89 is operated to bring the other stitch-forming devices to rest, substantially as described in Specification 29,988/09. In the embroidering position as shown, the jacquard control bar 59 is coupled by a lever 57 through rods 53, 55 to a stitch-changing gear 56 for changing from hem-stitch to flat-stitch. In this position, also, a jacquard needle 89 controls, through a rod 65 and a control bar 68, the tension brakes 47. When, in the stopping of the needles, the rod 54 is lowered, it positions the rod 63 for action upon the change-over gear 36, 37, &c., and, in addition, transfers the engagement of the lever 57 from the rod 53 to the rod 52. In that position the control bar 59 controls the operation of the alternative auxiliary implements b, c through the gear 25, 50, 51, 61, 62. The operation and control of the lever 25 and rod 23 is described in the before-mentioned Specification.

Abstract: 29,234. Dimming Switches, Ltd., and Barber, W. L. Dec. 28. Resistances, compressible. A resistance c<2>, Fig. 2. of the type described in Specification 5521/11, is threaded over a screwed spindle b and compressed by a screwed sleeve d having a flange d<1>. A metallic washer e on the other side of the flange is secured by a screw f to the top of the resistance, and gives a positive extension to the resistance material when the handle k is rotated anticlockwise. A conducting disk i, having screws i<1>, i<2> for abutting in the ' on ' and ' off ' positions against a terminal post n, is fixed by a screw h to the notched body of the sleeve, after the resistance has been built up to the required thickness. The other terminal of the switch consists of a vertical blade which wipes over the edge of the disk i and falls into a notch in the ' off ' position. The terminal n is connected by a strip c<3> to a disk in electrical contact with the resistance. The current, which passes through the blade, disk, resistance, and strip, is regulated by the degree of rotation of the handle, until, in the ' full-on ' position, one of the screws abut against the terminal n and short-circuits the resistance. The screw may be held by a spring e in the ' on ' and ' off ' positions, the spring being in electrical contact with the post n. The handle has a squared engagement with the end of the sleeve into which a securing-screw l passes. A screw of insulating material closes the top of the handle.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Truing the Ports of Automatic Connectors for Train Pipes.
Inventor: BEAHM PETER
IPC: B24B23/08
Filed: 1911-12-29
Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 29,315. Beahm, P. Jan. 5, [Convention date]. Portable turning - apparatus.-An apparatus for use in milling and grinding the ports of automatic train-pipe connectors of known form consists of a three-part frame E of rings in a vertical series having a projection F on one side adapted to engage the opening 9 of a funnel C and a clamp I on the other side adapted to receive a projection D on the connector, to position the frame. A screw stop G and the screws J position the frame in relation to the connector, and it is then secured to the connector by expanding the split projection F by means of a taper screw and securing the clamp I on to the projection D, Fig. 3. The toolholder M is formed of three cylindrical portions adapted to be received by the corresponding portions of the frame, the screws O on the toolholder engaging bores in projections on the frame whereby the position of the tool-holder is adjusted, the screws N, R ensuring the connexion. To position the tool each section of the tool-holder has bayonet-slots at its rear end to engage projections 23 on the tool casing. The tool S is removably secured to a spindle T, which passes through a bush 19 in a casing t, a ball bearing 22 being interposed between the enlarged head of the spindle and the casing. The spindle projects beyond the cutter, so that in operation, this projection engages the hole in the connector and centres the tool, the shoulder 25 also limiting the forward motion of the tools. A grinding-tool is shown in Fig. 4, the tool S being carried by a spindle which passes through a bush V in the holder 27, the bush having shoulders carrying screw pins which also engage shoulders on the holder, springs being interposed between the shoulders. The pressure of the springs is adjusted by screw caps 30, and other screws limiting the forward motion of the spindle.

Title: Improvements in Electric Boat Hoists.

Filed: 1912-05-30
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 12,761. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Wright, R. May 30. Constant-tension and tension-regulating winding and paying-out apparatus. - An electric boat hoist is positively driven to lift, while a lifting tendency is imparted to it through a friction clutch during lowering for the purpose of keeping the slings taut when the boat is water - borne. The shaft b of the motor a drives the drum j through worm gearing d and a pinion f gearing with a toothed ring g. Pawls h on the inside of the ring engage ratchet teeth on the drum. Motion is also transmitted to the drum by a shaft n driven by bevel-gear from the motor shaft, a pinion p loose on the shaft gearing with a spur-wheel q on the drum. The pinion p may be clutched to the shaft n by a friction clutch o normally held out of gear by a weighted lever t. When lifting, the clutch o is out of gear and the drum is positively driven by the ratchet gear. When the controller is reversed, the drum rotates under pull of the slings; but the solenoid u having been energized, the clutch o is in gear, and when the boat is water-borne sufficient lifting effort is transmitted to the drum to keep the slings taut. To cast loose the slings, an independent switch is caused to switch off the clutch solenoid u, and the controller handle is moved to the ' stop ' position.
