Title: Improvements in Automatic Change Shuttle Looms.
Inventor: ENTWISLE ERNEST JAMES
Filed: 1905-04-14
Granted: 1905-12-14
Abstract: 7970. Entwisle, E. J. April 14. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism.-The shuttle-box back 16 carrying the swell is mounted on two arms 13 pivoted on the lay and connected by a bar 12. The arms 13 pass through slots in the box bottom 20, which has an extended lip 21. The box front 18 is carried by two short arms 17 pivoted to the arms 13. Normally, the back 16 is within a slot 32 in a backboard 29, and the front is held up in its working position by antifriction bowls 19, carried by the lay, acting on the undersides of the arms 17. When the weft fails, a lever embracing a connexiou from the weftfork lever partly turns a shaft. c, which acts through a lever 3, a rod 4, and a yielding connexion 5 to turn a bell-crank lever 6, so that its arm 7 is moved downwards against a fixed stop 8. A bowl on an arm 10 secured to the bar 12 passes over instead of under an incline 7<a> on the arm 7 as the lay moves backwards, and the arms 13 are thereby moved against the action of springs into the position shown at C, where they are held by the bar 12 being engaged in a notch 23 in a small bell-crank lever 22 pivoted on the lay, the lever 22 being depressed against the action of a spring as the bar 12 slides over it. The arms 17 are at the same time freed from the bowls 19, and the front 18 drops below the level of the box bottom, and is prevented from vibrating by a spring 27. When the spent shuttle is picked from the opposite side of the loom, it meets a curved piece on the back of the box back 16, and is thereby deflected through the slot 32 and a receiving-chamber into a hopper. When the lay moves forwards, the lower arm 26 of the bell-crank lever 22 strikes a fixed stop 28, and the bar 12 is freed from the notch 23. The arms 13 are moved by their springs into their normal position, and as the arms 17 move over the bowls 19 the box front 18 is raised up in front of the lowest shuttle in the magazine, and carries it back into working position. The bottom shuttle in the magazine rests on ledges at each end of the bottom of the magazine. The arms 17 may be provided with bowls to work in conjunction with inclines carried by the lay, and the box front may be carried by arms similar to the arms 13, the box back being connected to the front.

Title: Improvements in Well Pumps.
Inventor: DEIS PHILIP HENRY
Filed: 1906-04-06
Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 8319. Deis, P. H., and Gerstenberg, E. April 6. Bucket pumps; delivery column, balancing.-Bucket pumps are constructed in such a manner that the pressure of the delivery column acts downwardly upon the bucket during both the up and down strokes, thus enabling the delivery column to be partly balanced by a weight. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the bucket is formed with a tubular portion f communicating by holes j at the bottom with the valve i and well-pipe a. The bucket carries a valve p at its lower end. Within the tube f is a fixed piston t which remains stationary while the tube reciprocates. Upon the down-stroke the capacity of the space below the piston t increases so that the valve i closes while the valve p opens to admit water from the suction orifices b. Upon the up-stroke, the valve p,closes and the water within the tube f and lower part of the bucket is forced upwards through the valve i. Thus in the one case, the delivery head is supported by the valve i and the top of the tube f, and in the other case it is supported by the valve p and the top of the tube f. In a modification, the piston t is caused to reciprocate in an opposite direction to the bucket by means of the mechanism shown in Fig. 4, thus doubling the capacity of the pump.
