Title: Piece Dyeing Machine.
Inventor: COCHRANE HUGH
IPC: D06B3/26
Filed: 1913-06-13
Granted: 1914-06-04
Abstract: 13,689. Cochrane, H. June 13. Jigger type.-A piece-dyeing machine comprises a dye-box and two receivers, one on each side thereof, also driving - means, particularly winches, driven singly or simultaneously, whereby the fabric is passed through the dye - box in alternate directions from one receiver to the other. The dye-box E is preferably almost completely sunk in the ground and is fitted with a false bottom N, beneath which is a perforated steam heating-pipe P. The receivers A, B are placed so as to slightly overhang the inside edges of the box E, so that any dye - liquor draining from the fabric in the receivers can run into the box through holes G. A guide-rail F in the box E is turned in either direction depending upon the direction in which the goods are running. The winches C, D are driven respectively from a main-shaft M through two pairs of bevel-wheels b, g, either of which can be put into action by clutches c controlled by a hand-lever H, while a countershaft M<1> and two pairs of bevel-wheels b<1>, g<1> at the other ends of the winches C, D permit, by means of a clutch J, the driving simultaneously of both winches in the same sense. In operation, cords R attached to the pieces to be dyed, are led through guide-holes S, from small rollers O which run loosely on a hand-driven transverse shaft K, or can be rotated with the shaft in one direction by means of clutch devices c<1>, over the winch D, through the box E, and over the winch C to be attached to the ends of the pieces. The other ends of the pieces are attached to similar ends passing over similar rollers O on a shaft L. The last - mentioned winch C being started, the pieces of fabric are run out of the corresponding receiver A to the box E, and the other winch D is put into gear by the countershaft clutch J, the firstmentioned set of rollers 0 being simultaneously wound to take up the slack in the cords R. The pieces are thus run over the first winch D and into the corresponding receiver B, the corresponding rollers 0 running free to pay out the cords R. By operating the clutches c, J, the direction of the pieces is then reversed, and so on, alternately, until the desired shade is obtained.

Title: Combined Apparatus for Reproducing Animate Scenes and Sounds.
Inventor: NEWCOMB EDWARD ALLEN
Filed: 1913-07-02
Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 15,238. Newcomb, E. A., and Mitchell, R. S. M. July 2. Synchronizing phonographs with kinematographs; sound - boxes. - In combined apparatus for synchronously reproducing motion pictures and the accompanying sounds, the picture film carries an electric contact for closing at a predeterminei instant a circuit controlling the synchronizing - mechanism which comprises a pair of clutches arranged between the driving-means and the film shaft. In the construction shown, the film 6, Figs. 2 and 5, carries immediately in front of the first picture 6<c> a flexible metallic contact 14 adapted to engage fixed contacts 15, 16 upon the rotation of the driving-handle 28. The electromagnet B, Fig. 8, is thereby energized and the cam C rotated through one step, whereby, through the levers E, F, the clutch members 22, 23 are disengaged and the members 30, 31 engaged. The film is thereby thrown out of action and the drum 35, carrying the cylindrical record 40, Figs. 2 and 12, is driven through the belt 39. Simultaneously with the movement of the clutches one of the projectiorsf on the cam C forces the contacts f<1>, f<2> into engagement closing the circuit of the electromagnet K which, through the lever 75, raises the transmitter from engagement with the record 40. The movement of the lever 75 causes a pin 79 to be forced by the drum against one arm of the lever 81, the other arm of which then closes the circuit of the electro-magnets K, J. The pawl j<5> is thereby set ready to operate the cam C another step when the electro-magnet J is again de energized. The record is positioned on the drum by a wedge 41 so that its starting point bears some relation to a recess 42 in the drum. When this recess arrives against the pin 79, the circuit of the electromagnets K, J is broken, the transmitter lowered to eng ge the record and the film again operated. At the end or any desired point of the reproduction, a contact on the movable mounting of the transmitter engages a fixed contact and energizes the electro-magnet B, whereby the cam C is caused to disengage the clutch members 30, 31. The trausmitter casing 57, preferably of hard rubber, is pivotally supported at 57<1> in an annular frame 43, and is adjusted in regard to the record by the nut 59. The frame is traversed along the guiderod 44 by the engagement of the half-nuts 50, 51 with the feed-screws 48, 49. The transmitter diaphragm 60 carries on one side a spider 60<1> having a stylus 61 and on the other side a number of microphones 62 connected through an induction coil 67<1> to one or more receivers 72 provided with amplifying - horns 74. When recording, the receiver 72 is mounted in the frame 43 and is provided with a diaphragm having a recording- tool.

Moving and changing apparatus; reel and web apparatus.-In a machine for intermittently displaying posters, a draped curtain is arranged to screen the displaying space and is provided with means for withdrawing it on the completion of a change of posters and for lowering it prior to a change of posters. The curtain may be applied to the machine described in Specification 13,015/13. In that machine, a vertically moving contact-bar g is operated by a slat on the poster web so as to open the switch g, g<1> preliminarily to the slat opening one of the two switches h, which are in series with each other but in parallel with the switch g, g'. The motor i, which drives the poster-web, is thereby stopped until the bar g falls once more and closes the switch g, g<1>. The bar g is employed for controlling the curtainoperating mechanism, and to that end is provided with a switch m<1>, m<2>, which is closed just after the barg has commenced to fall and thereby starts the motor l, which controls the curtain, and so draws the curtain aside or raises it for. the display of the newly-presented poster. A stud n on the winding-sheaf of the motor l moves a slide p after a single revolution and causes a nose r to bear upon a stud of the switch t and turn it about its pivot t<1> so as to stop the motor l and leave its circuit in a position for starting up in the reverse direction when the bar g falls still lower and closes a switch u<1>, u<2>. When this last closure has been accomplished, the motor l winds down or closes the curtain just before the motor i, which changes the posters, is set in motion again.
