Patent GB-190917512-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Quick Traverse Winding Frames for Winding Yarns of Threads.
Inventor: ROSSKOTHEN FERDINAND
IPC: B65H54/28
Filed: 1909-07-28
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 17,512. Rosskothen, F. July 28. Winding-machines.-In the traverse motion of a cross winding-frame, in order to be able to run the machine at a high speed without shocks or jerks, very light thread guides are used, which slide in straight paths, and which are moved by light levers swinging on fixed centres and operated by parts of which the movement is considerably shorter than that of the thread-guides. Each lever is arranged to move only one or a small number of threadguides The thread-guide c, Fig. 3, is mounted upon a block which is moved along a slide k by a lever h, which swings about a fixed pivot b, the end of the lever sliding through the sleeve l which swivels on a pivot m on the thread-guide block. The lever h is connected at a to a traverse bar d which is operated from a cam i by a link t. A number of cams may be mounted on a shaft arranged parallel to the winding-drums and running the length of the machine, each cam operating one or more thread-guide levers. In order to counterbalance the momentum of the swinging parts, the cams may be arranged in the centre of the machine to operate a series of levers on each side, and they may also be fixed on the shaft in varying positions, so that the different thread-guide levers are reversed at different instants. In order that the same cams may be used to wind bobbins of different lengths, the cam i, Fig. 12, is made to reciprocate a traverse bar d at a uniform speed, the bar being constrained to move in a straight line. At the end of the bar is a transverse slot in which is adjustably secured a bush or bearing u in which swivels a pin carrying a slide n embracing the lever h, which operates the thread-guide c. To wind a longer bobbin, the bush u is moved upwards in the transverse slot, thus altering the relation of the arms a b, m b of the lever. In adapting the device to a winding-frame in which the bobbin is mounted upon a spindle driven at a constant speed, the shaft carrying the cam i, Fig. 15, and the slides k, k<2> in which the thread-guide block and the traverse bar d are reciprocated, are mounted on brackets which swing around a pin n so that, as the layers of thread are wound on the spindle, the threadguide which rests directly on the thread or yarn is pushed away from the centre of the bobbin. The traverse lever d is reciprocated at a uniform speed by the cam i, and operates the thread-guide lever h as in the above-described arrangement. In the device shown in Fig. 20, in which a number of thread-guide levers are operated, independently of each other, from the same cam i to wind bobbins upon uniformly revolving spindles, the slide k for the threadguide block swings round a pin n while the thread-guide lever is moved about a transverse pivot p as the yarn increases on the bobbin, which pivot is carried in a bracket q on the rocking shaft o. Specifications 27,099/04 and 5408/08 are referred to.

Abstract: 21,108. Good, E. A., and Good, P. Sept. 10. Speed indicators working by summation of accelerations.-In an apparatus for balloons, aeroplanes &c. the indications are obtained by means of pendulums moving according to the acceleration, the deflexions of the pendulums being utilized at frequent and regular time intervals to move the pointer; the position of the pointer thus represents the algebraic sum of the changes in speed. Referring to Figs. 2 and 4, two pendulums E, E', free to move in opposite directions only, are connected through ratchet gearing M, M' with two bevel-wheels K<2>, K<3> in mesh with a bevel-pinion K<1> mounted on an extension of the pointer G. A time-piece, through electro-magnetic means, periodically moves two rods R, R<1> adapted to bear against spindles H<4>, H<5> attached to spur-wheels gearing with similar wheels carrying the pendulums. When these rods are operated, that pendulum which is then away from its zero position is forced to return, and during this movement, the pointer is operated. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the outward swings of the pendulums affect the pointer, and the clockwork releases the pendulums, to allow them to swing out, by means of a rotary arm U and a pivoted plate W. The pendulums are retained in position at the end of their outward swings by means of a movable pin X<1> and fixed toothed sector X. In order that the pointer shall move proportionately to the tangent of the angle made by the pendulum with the vertical, the pendulum movements are transmitted to the ratchet gearing through a slidable rack S' and toothed sector T. The Provisional Specification describes slightly different means for conveying the movements of the pendulums to the bevelgearing.
