Abstract: 16,976. Pos, G. M. E. July 20. Breaking and scutching apparatus; heckling- machines; feeding and transferring flax and the like; holders for flax &c.-Bands or strips of peel produced by the apparatus described in Specification 26,347/11, are led from the peeling-device 34, Fig. 1, to a series of plain crushing-rollers 35 ... 39 between which a number of jets 40 ... 42 of water or suitable solutions are projected so as to wash away the sap &c. expressed by the rollers. From the rollers, the peel is passed through a drying-apparatus and on to surfaces 65, 46 composed of laths on which the fibres are cleaned by rotating brushes 66, 47. The fibres may be subsequently treated after steeping in a weak acid, with a weak soap solution, and finally treated in hydro-extractors. Leaves and similar parts may be treated by the crushing-rollers and brushing-apparatus. The crushing-rollers are of a hard material, preferably copper, and the rollers 36, 38 are driven by contact from the roller 37, the former rollers driving the rollers 35, 39. The brushing-apparatus comprises a pair of rubber rolls 48, 49, Fig. 2, through which the dried fibres are fed over a small rotatable flap 67 on to an endless band 65 of spaced parallel laths, driven by chainwheels 55, 56, where they are cleaned by the brush 66. The roller 49 is driven by the flange 50 of a drum 44 composed of spaced laths 46 and having a pair of semicircular grooves 60 adapted for the reception of three circular bars 59 carried at the ends by chains 58 passing over the drum and wheels 53 ... 57. The bars are arranged at equal distances corresponding to half the circumference of the drum. When a certain length of the fibre has been treated on the band 65, a space 51 in the flange 50 comes opposite the roller 49 which then ceases to be driven, and a bar 59 passes between the rollers 48, 49 and brush 66, raises the flap 67, and carries the fibres from under the brush 66, around itself and into a groove 60 in the drum, where they are clamped by reason of rolls at the ends of the bar engaging fixed bars 62 secured to the framing. The fibres are then carried by the drum and cleaned thereon by brushes 47, being finally removed or falling from the bar at the left-hand side of the machine. The drum may have a corrugated surface in lieu of the laths, and leather brushes may be used for beating the fibres clean.

Abstract: 9260. Hunt, L. J., and Sandycroft, Ltd. April 19. Alternating-current induction machines.-Relates to windings of the kind described in Specification 16,170/09 for use with stator windings adapted to be connected so as to produce rotating fields having different numbers of poles. The present invention consists in opening out those parts A, B, C of the winding which were previously connected together at a neutral or star point so that six points are obtained for varying the connexions or adjusting resistances connected between these points, whereby the circulation of local currents and unbalancing of the rotor currents are prevented. Fig. 3 shows one modification for working with a stator field of 2x poles in which the parts A, B, C of the winding are joined to slip-rings 19, 20, 21, which are paired with the slip-rings 16, 17, 18 through resistances 14, the resistances 14 being gradually cut out in speeding-up. When the rotor is working with a stator field of x poles, the pairs of slip-rings shown in Fig. 3 are directly connected, the connexions being shunted by a star-connected three-phase resistance, which is cut out gradually. Alternatively, two sets of three star-connected adjustable resistances may be used, one set being connected to the brushes of the slip - rings 16, 17, 18, while the other set is similarly connected between the brushes of the slip-rings 19, 20, 21. An arrangement in which only three slip-rings 16, 17, 18 are used is shown in Fig. 5, together with switches 8, 9, 10, which are mounted on the rotor and are operated simultaneously, for instance, by longitudinal movement of a collar on the shaft. With a stator field having 2x poles, the parts A, B, C of the winding are star-connected through the contacts 1, 3, 5, the connexions of the switches being altered for x pole working by movement on to the contacts 2, 4, 6.
