Title: Improvements relating to the Winding of Condenser Bobbins on Carding Engines.
Inventor: SMITH WILLIAM THOMAS
IPC: D01G15/10
Filed: 1910-05-11
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 11,655. Smith, W. T. May 11. Carding-engines. -Relates to means for ensuring regularity in the length of the ends wound upon the condenser bobbins of carding- engines, in order to facilitate the process of spinning such ends described in Specification 9806/10, [Class 120(iii), Yarns &c.]. The ends delivered from the rubbers S, S<1> are wound upon a bobbin A by winding-rollers N, O, which are driven by chain gearing P, Q through a clutch M from a continuously-rotating additional winding-roller R. A counter E<1> is provided operated by an adjustable crank-pin G on the shaft of the roller R and a pawl k and ratchet-wheel H<1>. On the same shaft as the counter is a stepped cam E, which, when the required length of sliver has been wound upon the bobbin A, has been turned into position to allow rods D, one on each side of the machine, to fall. These rods D support catches C, upon which rests an additional bobbin B. The movement of the rods D allows the bobbin B to fall on to the roller R; it also, through a connecting-rod L, opens the clutch M and stops the winding of the sliver on the bobbin A, and, through a lever f, operates a knife J which severs the ends between the bobbins A, B. A curved plate I controlled by a weighted arm I<1> is arranged below the bobbin B, so that as the bobbin falls it strikes against one edge of the plate, tilting it and causing it to turn and hold the sliver against the barrel of the bobbin. The severed ends then begin to wind on the bobbin B, the bobbin A is removed, and the bobbin B is subsequently put in position upon the rollers N, 0.

Abstract: 15,374. Needham, A. J., and Needham, W. C. June 27. [Cognate Application, 27,992/10.] F o u n t a i n s. - In a fountain for decorative purposes, the motor for operating t h e centrifugal pump is arranged above the water reservoir, and a fan is fitted to the motor shaft to cause a draught of air to impinge upon the water-basin. The basin communicates with the reservoir by a number of tubes which serve as liquid conduits. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus. The basin a is mounted on the three vertical tubes b<1>, b<2>, b<3>, between which, at their lower ends, is secured the pump casing d. A tubular member e' conveys liquid from the pump to the tube b<1>, and thus through the tubes j', g' to the nozzle g. The motor i is secured above the reservoir o between the vertical tubes, and carries the fan s. The liquid flows from the basin a, through the chamber m and the tubes b<2>, b<3> to the reservoir o. Fig. 3 shows a form adapted for suspension. The tubular frame is secured to an ornamental suspended frame p which carries also the reservoir o. Fig. 4 shows another form in which the basin a is placed upon a table and the reservoir o below. Tubes r<1>, r<2> lead directly from the basin to the reservoir and pump. The centrifugal pump t, Fig. 1, rotates without end contact with the casing d, and comprises a flat disk t formed with a diametral passage t'. The shaft of the pump runs in the bosses d<1>, which are lined with vulcanite bushes d<2>.

Fig. 8 shows the switch in the closed position in which the switch blades are locked in the bracket by the balls 28, 18 and the corresponding balls on the other side. Additional balls are located in the lower holes 25, 27 in the switch blades. In opening the switch, the spring 12 is extended until the blade 11, in its upward movement, forces the balls outwards against the action of the springs 32, 33 into the position shown in Fig. 9, in which the contact-arms are unlocked. Fig. 11 shows the " off " position in which the contact - arms are again locked. Additional locking-balls may be used, and the bracket may be modified to accommodate two sets of coincident balls.
