Abstract: 1782. Gaebel, R. Jan. 23. Moulding viscous substances.-In apparatus of the measuring-pump type for delivering measured quantities of viscous liquids, the feed - hopper, piston chamber, and delivery chamber open directly into each other to avoid air spaces, special devices being provided for feeding the mass into the delivery chamber and for adjusting the stroke of the piston. The mass is driven from the hopper a to the delivery chamber b, Fig. 1, by a rotating helicoidal member l, Fig. 4, which has no spindle, so that when the flow of the mass downwards is interrupted it returns up the centre space of the member l, which is carried by a toothed wheel m on bearings n. The delivery pipe o directs the mass towards the side of the hopper. Baffles or their equivalent in the chamber a prevent rotation of the mass. The delivery chamber may be an oscillating cylinder c with outlet d and shutter h for closing the supply orifice. The knife-edge i on the shutter cuts the mass into exact portions. The shutter h may be replaced by a reciprocating slide. The stroke of the piston e in the chamber b determines the quantity of liquid delivered. During the suction stroke of the piston, the orifice d occupies a raised position and is covered by the knife-edged valve f, but on the return stroke it occupies the position shown in Fig. 1, the stop g holding the valve f open. The extreme position of the piston near the orifice d is fixed, the stroke of the piston being altered by changing its extreme position remote from the orifice d. This is effected by the linkage shown in Fig. 5. A two-armed lever p, r is pivoted at q, the arm p being pivoted to the rod of the piston e. A slotted lever t, pivoted at s, is rocked by a link v pivoted to the rotating disk u.

Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 6312. Norton, G. H., Swift, G., Hellewell, G. T., and Turner, W. March 21. Yarns, curling.-Yarns, especially those intended for pile warps, are curled or treated in a machine which acts after the manner of a mule. The warps pass from the beam k through the reed m, and are grouped according to the number of spindles d employed. The spindles are driven from a common shaft b, and the carriage l on which the beam and the reed are mounted is caused to recede by means of the clutch h, h<1> and rack and pinion j, i<1>. When the required amount of twist is obtained, the clutch h, h<1> is disengaged, and a guide-roller p carried by arms p<1> is brought into position to guide the twisted yarn upon the spindles, the pull of the yarn being sufficient to draw the carriage inwards. After the yarn is steamed, dried, &c., the operation of the machine is reversed, and the warp is rewound on the beam, a second reed close to the beam being preferably employed. The outer ends of the spindles have hooks, such as those shown in Fig. 3, in order to engage the yarn in whichever direction the spindles rotate. Rods n, o are employed to keep the warps in position and prevent the twist from running back. The beam, which may be provided with' a drag arrangement, may be positively driven on the inward movement or run. Differential gearing may be provided to enable the speed of the spindles to be varied according to the varying diameter of the yarn wound thereon. The speed at which the carriage recedes may be varied relatively to the speed of the spindles by means of change gearing.
