Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 25,890. Tomlinsons, Ltd., and Porter, J. Nov. 10. Gigging. - A lateral reciprocatory motion is given to the rotary cleaning-brushes of " gig " mills " or cloth-raising machines so as to obtain a grinding action of the metallic teeth of the brushes upon the card filleting of the raising-rollers. For this purpose, the brush shaft a is made slidable in its bearings and carrier a worm e between the jaws of a bracket f placed between collars g on the shaft ; the bracket f also carries a worm-wheel h driven from the worm e. Adjustably attached to the worm-wheel h is a slotted plate i carrying a pin j eccentric to the axis ; to this pin is pivoted one end of a link k, the other end of which is pivoted on a fixed pin m. A fixed bracket e<1> supports the bracket f. The stud on which the wormwheel is mounted is made adjustable in a slot in the bracket f, to allow the worm-wheel to be put out of gear. Where there are two brushes to the machine, a lever q, Fig. 3, is pivoted centrally on a bracket s between the brushes, and has at each end a yoke t engaging a grooved pulley u, or between collars, on each shaft a, so that one brush shaft, when actuated as before, imparts the same motion to the other.

Patent GB-191012172-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Signalling Devices for Railways and the like.
Inventor: AIKMAN GEORGE
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1910-05-17
Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 12,172. Aikman, G. May 17. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains; recording signals.-A rod l, Fig. 3, is lifted by a track pedal whenever the train passes a signal. When the signal is at " danger " the lift is greater than when it is at " safety." A lever q pivoted to the engine frame at r is linked to the rod l and, when this is lifted, operates a ratchet-wheel 3 by a pawl 2. The ratchet-wheel is secured to a shaft 14 which gears with a second shaft by which a strip of paper is unrolled from a roller 11, Fig. 5, over a printing-table 12 and on to a roller 10. A shaft x is operated through levers q, u, v. A lever 5 fixed to the shaft x supports a spectacle plate or semaphore 7. When the lever l is raised by a pedal at " safety," the plate 7 is raised, but falls again as the lever l falls. When the lever l is raised by a pedal at " danger," the plate 7 receives a larger movement and passes beyond the end of a detentlever 56, and does not fall when the lever 5 returns. A trip catch on the lever 5 passes under a toe-piece 69 on the detent lever 56, so that when the lever 5 passes over the next treadle, the detent is removed and the signal plate reset. A printing device, which comprises a set of counting-wheels, is pivoted at 26 and linked to the lever 5. Whenever the lever 5 is operated, the printing-wheel is pressed on to the paper upon the table 12, and the number of the signal is recorded. When the lever 5 receives the increased lift from a pedal at " danger," the upper end of a lever 64, pivoted upon the moving frame of the printing-device, contacts with a fixed stop 66 and the lower end is forced into contact with the paper and records the passing of a signal at danger. The table 12 is made resilient to accommodate the increased movement of the printing - device. The rod l is connected to a valve, controlling the supply of steam to the engines, by a lost-motion device which is only operable when the rod receives the larger motion when passing a pedal at " danger." The pedal 38, Fig. 7, is carried upon levers 40, and a counterweight 54 tends to maintain it in the " danger " position. An operating-chain 47 passes over a pulley 48, and is attached to a locking-pawl 44. When the chain is pulled, the pawl is first lifted, and afterwards the pedal is depressed.

Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 19,522. Singer Manufacturing Co., and Stevens, B. A. Aug. 20. Sewing - machines; stopping-gear, non-automatic; presser-bars, lifting non-automatically.- In a power-driven sewing-machine, the treadle that controls the driving-means is arranged to lift the presser-foot when the machine is stopped. The pivoted treadle A, when depressed in one direction, pushes up an adjustable rod E, which actuates a lever F, and so pulls a chain G which raises the presser-foot D through a lever K. At the same time, the chain I connected with the driving - gear slackens, and the machine is brought to rest. A depression of the treadle A in the other direction slackens the chain G, and so has no effect on the spring-held presser-foot, but it pulls the chain I and puts the driving- gear into operation. The driving-gear comprises a loosely-mounted belt pulley T, and a slidably mounted driving - cone R on a fixed shaft Q. The cone R is clutched to the pulley T when its sleeve V is engaged by a cam U on a lever B, to which the chain I is attached. The pivot rod X of the lever B is rotated against the action of a spring X<1>, and has an arm Z<1>, which has a brake-pad arranged to brake the pulley P when the chain I is slackened.

Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 20,186. Wedekind & Co., R. April 12, [Convention date]. Sulphurous acid.-The decomposition of sulphates by silica for the production of sulphurous acid is effected economically by mixing with such a quantity of pyrites, that the heat generated by burning the sulphide in a current of air suffices for the decomposition of the sulphate. The process can be carried out in the usual sulphide-roasting furnaces, and the gases may be used for the production of sulphuric acid. For example, a charge of pyrites, gypsum, and sand is thrown on to a layer of ignited charcoal in a converter, and air is blown through the charge from below.
