Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 1043. Gatwood, W. Jan. 13. [Addition to 18,636/10.] Buffers.-Relates to improvements in the buffers described in the parent Specification, and comprises means for securing the sleeve on the buffer rod and devices for preventing the sleeve from turning on its axis. In one form, Fig. 16, the sleeve c<1> is formed with a forwardly projecting flange d<1> secured to the rod a by a rivet c<3>. In another arrangement, a split washer engages a groove in the rod g behind the vertical wall of the sleeve to which the washer is bolted, or the washer c', Fig. 21, may be formed with a groove c<8> to engage a collar c<10> on the rod. In a further modification, Fig. 22, the flange d<1> is placed in a recess between a collar c<10> and the buffer head b<1>, the sleeve being for this purpose formed in halves with flanges c<12> bolted together. To prevent the sleeve from turning, the circular retaining- flange w<1> may be flattened at the top as shown in Figs. 16 and 17, to slide within a corresponding pressed-out portion of the casing g which may carry a step tread g<1>. In another arrangement, the sleeve is formed in halves with flanges at the meeting edges arranged to slide in pressed-out portions at the top and bottom of the casing.

Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 3741. Archer, J. Feb. 14. Separators. - In apparatus for separating spray from gases, the gases are delivered within a truncated conical hood c so that they impinge against the inner surface, which is preferably serrated or provided with a beading or channel at its lower edge, in order that the liquid trickling down in substantial streams may be discharged in like form. The vessel a in which the gases are treated with the spray may be, for instance, a saturator in which gases carrying ammonia are treated with a spray of sulphuric acid. A layer of coke k or like material presenting a large rough surface to the gases may extend above the lower edge of the cone. An annular grid h made of strips of metal arranged to break up the gas current into streams is better omitted if the gases contain much soot or tarry matter.

Filed: 1912-11-08
Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 25,645. Berthold, G. A. Nov. 8. Reeling - machines. - A device for binding together skeins of yarn or thread while on the reel comprises a number of hollow corkscrew-shaped rods 30, Figs. 1, 6, and 8, through each of which a binding thread 14 from a bobbin 45 passes to be clamped in the split end 31 of the rod. The head of the rod 30 is in the form of a bevel-wheel 42 and is journaled in a bearing 43 carried by a bearing 64 on a shaft 47 to which is splined a bevel-wheel 46 gearing with the wheel 42. The bearing 64 is carried by a rail 63 supported by arms 62 fixed to a shaft 49 mounted to rock and to move longitudinally in its bearings and on which is mounted a frame 51 by pins 52 and a groove 53. The shaft 47 is journaled in the frame 51 and is driven by a pulley 54 and drives a toothed wheel 60 gearing with a rack 61 on the shaft 49, through the medium of bevel-gearing 57-59; by these means the rods 30 are simultaneously rotated and moved in a longitudinal direction. To bind the skeins the shaft 49, whose initial position can be adjusted by a set-screw 65, is turned to bring the ends of the rods 30 into engagement with the skeins 21 and, by rotating the shaft 47, each rod 30 carries a binding-thread 14 around the skeins as shown by the arrows in Fig. 2. When the end of the rod gets up behind the last skein 27, the thread is released from the end 31, clamped in a device 20, and the shaft 47 rotated to run the rod back upon the thread to its initial position where the thread is again clamped in the end 31. The reel 66 is now shifted longitudinally, a distance equal to the distance between adjacent skeins, by a lever and quadrant arrangement 67-69 and the shaft 47 again rotated to wind the rod 30 in and out among the skeins as shown by the arrows in Fig. 4; at the end of the travel the thread is released from the end 31, cut and tied, with the end in the clamping-device 20, into a knot 41, Fig. 5, after which the rods are run back to their initial position ready for operating upon a fresh set of skeins.

Abstract: 8706. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. April 14. Sewing-machines; needles, vibrating.-In a needle-vibrating gear having a bar oscillated laterally by a cam and caused at the same time to move longitudinally by means of a swinging link, arranged obliquely, the swinging link is carried by a support which can be moved longitudinally of the bar so as to shift the field of the needle-vibration. A bar 54 is swung about its pivotal connexion with the needle bar-gate by a cam 37, on a shaft 35, and is caused to move longitudinally so as to vibrate the needlebar-gate by means of a swinging link 71, the normally fixed pivot 69 of which is carried by a manually-controlled lever 68, 76 so that it can be shifted to vary the amplitude of the needle vibration. The manually-controlled lever is pivoted in a sleeve 65 carried by an adjustable three-position lever 57, 64 and can thereby be moved obliquely across the centre line of the bar 54. By this means the line of straight stitching made when the needle vibration is nil can be disposed relative to the zigzag stitching as shown in Fig. 9 at a and b, c and d, or e and f. The lever 57 carries a spring catch 58 which can engage any of three openings in the quadrant 60. The lever 76 is coupled by a link 78 and a lever 82 to a suitable knee-treadle, and is held by a spring 84 on to the one of the three screw stops 86, 87, 88 corresponding to the position of the lever 57.

Abstract: 12,658. Radet, L. July 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Actuating.-In a clock-work device for controlling the supply of gas to burners at predetermined times, of the kind in which a mercury-seal valve is opened by tappets on a rotary dial, a mercury-cup 8 is lifted and lowered from the end of a pipe 11 leading to the burner, thereby extinguishing and lighting the burner respectively. When the cup 8 is lifted, it lifts a spring-pressed disk 18 and opens a valve 16 supplying gas to the pilot. The surface of the mercury is covered by glycerine &c., and a groove 13 is provided in the end of the tube 11 to prevent splashing into the inner passages of the plug. By means of a three-way plug 21, gas may be supplied direct to the burner tube 22, or through the passages 25, 20 to the mercury-seal valve. The valve is operated by tappets q, r on the dial arranged to engage faces p<1>, p<2> respectively of a spindle connected to the valve, as shown. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the arrangement in which the tappets q, r operate directly a piston valve having ports which are moved into and out of register with passages communicating with the pilot and main burners. A three-way hand-operated valve is also provided in this arrangement, by means of which the supply of gas to the valve may be cut off and supplied to the burner tube by a circnmferential tube.
