Title: Improvements in or relating to Clicking Presses.
Filed: 1908-07-14
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 14,908. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Go. July 14. Cutting-machines for leather.-Relates to clicking presses of the type in which a radial beam B is secured to a column C and is arranged to swing into various positions above a knife or knives resting on the work. The beam B is provided with a platen B<1> which may be rotated about its centre and also adjusted longitudinally upon the beam, so that it can be brought over a knife placed in any required position on the work. The platen B' has a screw stud B' which passes through a slot B' in the beam B. Above the slot is a block D which slides on guides B<5> in a recess in the beam. A coil spring surrounds the stud B<3> between a plate screwed to the top of the block D and a nut screwed on the top end of the stud. The platen B<1> can be turned about the stud B<3> as pivot, and adjusted longitudinally upon the slides B<5>. By means of two lengths F, the platen is returned automatically to its normal position when turned upon the stud B<3> into alinement with the beam. Each link F is pivoted at one end to the platen, and provided at the other end with an upwardly extending pin which rides along a recess G. When the platen is turned into alinement with the beam, one of the links F encounters the end of the slot G and the stud B<3> is returned to its normal position. The links F move in a recess B<6> in the platen. The latter is turned by means of a handle E hinged to the platen, and a tongue E<2> may be secured to the handle so that when the handle is turned into its inoperative position, the tongue E<2> will engage a recess B<7> in the beam and lock the platen in its normal position. A spring-pressed plunger may be employed to hold the handle E in either operative or inoperative position. Alternatively, the platen may be locked in the normal or other required position by a pin inserted through corresponding holes in the beam and platen.

Abstract: 16,334. Beaumont, R., and Hollis, T. March 9. Loom shedding-motions ; healds.-In looms having negative or Yorkshire tappets, the heald shafts b, b<1>, Fig. 1, are rigidly connected to carriers 76, and are positively moved up and down by levers m connected together by bridge-pieces 61, which are provided with pulleys 73 acted upon by opposing tappets 55, 56 on spindles 53, 54, or shells thereon, driven by spur and bevel gearing from the low shaft 52. The bridgepieces 61 are slotted, and have pins 59, 60 to receive the bifurcated ends of the levers m, which are mounted in adjustable bearings. The vertical parts of the bridge-pieces have slots 63, 64 to receive guiding-pins 65, 66 on horizontal arms 67, 68 fixed to carrier brackets 70, 71. The levers m are linked to the carriers 76, which are guided in recessed tilting plates 79 normally at right-angles to brackets 78. By tilting these plates, the removal of the shedding shafts b, b<1> is facilitated. The carriers 76 have enlarged parts 82, Fig. 24, to receive the recessed ends of the shafts b, b<1>, which are secured to the carriers by pins 81 or by screws and nipples. One or both ends of the carrier 76 may be bifurcated. The peripheries of the tappets 55, 56 may be formed of a number of pieces, as usual. In a modification, the tappets 55,56,Fig. 11, are arranged in pairs on the same shaft 53, the bridge-pieces 61 having connecting - parts 90 at their bottom ends. These parts 90 are in a different vertical plane to the parts 61, so that the tappets 55 may actuate the rollers 89 on the parts 90 while the tappets 56 actuate the rollers 73. In another modification, the shafts b', Fig. 17, of rigid frames which work m guides d in brackets e, are adjustably connected by bars i and bolts 99 to levers f, f<1> connected by links. The levers f are provided with bowls or pulleys 14, which are kept in contact with tappets 55 on a shaft 53 by an arrangement of bands 36, 30, pulleys 28, 29, a carrier 32, a vertical rod 33, and a spring, which bears against a bracket 34. The levers f, f<1> are spaced at their inner ends to suit the pitch of the tappets, and are shaped at their outer ends to coincide with the pitch of the shafts b<1>. The shaft 53 is driven by bevel and spur gearing from the low shaft 52. The lever s f are guided by a recessed bar or grid 93. Various forms of loops and eyes for connecting the shedding-shafts and the bars i are shown in Fig. 28. The mechanism for moving the shafts b, b<l> up and down positively may be arranged on the top of the framework of the loom, connexions being then made to the shaft b instead of to the shaft b<1>.

Abstract: 21,180. Peart, J. Oct. 7. Glazing roofs &c.-Relates to methods of supporting and securing glass frames upon astragals and to methods of securing the astragals to the purlins. Astragals a of channel section are formed with grooved ribs b to receive packing c, upon which the glass is secured by crescentshaped caps d, which are secured to the astragal by bolts, and are formed either of incorrodible material, or of steel with an incorrodible sheathing. Spiral springs f may be placed on the bolts to regulate the pressure of the caps on the glass, and lead washers j are placed on the caps to prevent leakage through the bolt holes. The bolts shown in Fig. 1 are provided with right and left handed threads, and are shouldered to limit the movement of the bolt into the astragal, and of the nut upon the bolt, so as to prevent excessive pressure on the glass. Fig. 3 shows the application to wooden astragals l, which are lined with incorrodible material m, the caps d being secured by coach screws n. The astragals are secured to the purlins by bolts or rivets or by clips of soft steel. The flanges of the astragals may be bent at rightangles, and bolted or riveted to the angle-iron purlins as shown in Fig. 9. Clips u, bent around the purlins, are secured to the astragals by bending in their flanges to engage wedge-shaped heads of the clips, or by means of cotters and pins passing through the astragals and heads of the clips. The springs on the bolts may be dispensed with, and the astragals may have central ridges to give direct support to the caps. At the eaves, the caps are bent at right-angles to form stops.

Granted: 1911-06-28
Abstract: 15,543. Regal, A. June 28. Weft-replenishing mechanism; shuttles.-A feeling-lever 2, 3 pivoted to a stud 4 on the plate 1 of the weft-spool casing is acted upon by a spring 7, so as to be normally out of contact with the cop, but when the shuttle enters the shuttle - box on the left side of the loom the lever is caused to oscillate by reason of its inertia, so that its spoon-shaped end 2 contacts with the weft on the cop. A step 5 on the lever 2, 3 normally engages under a projection 8 of a stop part 10 slidably mounted on a bolt 9, and thus retains the part 10 in the position shown against the action of a spring 11, but when the weft is substantially exhausted, the lever 2, 3 is allowed to oscillate sufficiently to release the part 10, which is then moved outwards by its spring. When the shuttle enters the shuttle-box on the left side, the part 10 engages a projection 18 on and operates a spring-controlled sliding bolt which rocks a lever, and thus causes changing- mechanism for the weft-spool casing to be operated.
