Abstract: 20,992. Baumert, W. Sept. 30. Loom let-off motions. -Retates to an automatic brake for warp beams, to facilitate ready removal of the latter, and to give a regularly decreasing brake as the warp beam empties and the diameter from which winding takes place, diminishes. A bearing-cup S, Fig. 2, pivoted to the loom frame, and a cap-piece D hinged to the cup S, both act on the hollow shaft of the warp beam, and are jointed or hinged by links B, E, to a lever G pivoted to the loom frame. A rod or lever T, Figs. 2 and 3, turning on the pivot n which may slide and be adjusted on a rod P fixed to and projecting from the loom frame, is suspended, by a hook, from the lever G. The weight of the beam itself, acting on the cup S, depresses the lever G, and increases the brake given by the cap-piece D and caused by the lever T. The brake given by the former decreases as the warp lightens, the total brake decreasing regularly, as required. The cappiece D may be provided with a hook, so that the lever E may be readily unhooked therefrom, thus facilitating the ready removal of the warp beam, The lever T may carry an adjustable weight g to give a variable tension.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus for Facilitating Instructional Target Practice with Ordnance.
Inventor: LEGE JEAN BAPTISTE ANNIBAL
Filed: 1904-06-02
Granted: 1905-05-18
Abstract: 12,519. LÚgÚ, J. B. A. June 2. Gunnery practice, teaching.-Relates to apparatus for facilitating instructional target practice with ordnance. An up-and-down movement is imparted to the disc or target, and a pencil carried on a frame moving up and down with the gun is adapted to travel transversely across the target independently of the gun so as to make a continuous mark recording the sighting of the gunner in following the spot or mark on the target. The target is moved by a cord a<8> passing over a pulley at the top of the apparatus and over a pulley on a shaft situated below the portion of the apparatus shown in Fig. 3, and attached at a<9> at the back of the target. The lower shaft is rotated by a handle, and the target is moved between the side posts a. The paper on which the pencil marks is supplied from a roller b<2> supported in brackets from the front plate b of the target, which plate is itself detachably mounted on a foundation plate b<6>. The paper passes over the plate b around the bottom edge, where it is secured by a clip b<5>. Instead of a single roll b<2>, another may be mounted at the base of the target, the paper being fed off the top roll on to the bottom one. The pencil C is carried by an arm comprising the member c<1> carried by a boss c fitting loosely over the screw spindle D, and a member c<2> pivoted to the member c<1> and pressed by the action of a spring towards the target. A bifurcated member c<3> pivoted to the boss c has one fork formed as a catch or nut engaging with the spindle D, while its other fork is continued upwards in a member c<5> having a thumbpiece c<6> and an off-set c<7>. The member c<3> is normally engaged with the spindle by a spring c<4>, so that the pencil moves transversely as the latter is rotated by clockwork mechanism through the gearing d<2>, but, by moving the thumb-piece c<6> horizontally, the member c<3> ceases to contact with the spindle, and may be moved independently of it, the off-set c<7> at the same time serving to force the pencil away from the target. The forked end of the member c<8>, a continuation of the member c<1>, is guided on a rod d. The clockwork mechanism is contained in a casing d<2> and is wound up by a cord d<4> on the pulley or drum d<5>. When the pencilcarriage gets to the end of its stroke, through the agency of the lever d<7> rotation of the spindle ceases ; and the rate of traverse of the pencil may be regulated by a lever d<6>. The frame E supporting the pencil-carrier and its mechanism is provided with pins or studs e which rest upon the arms or tines f of a vertical rod carrying a collar embracing the nozzle of the gun, and rollers or sheaves e' serve to guide the frame E upon the side posts a. The writing-surface of the target may be of paper or cardboard, arranged, not upon rollers, but in the way now in ordinary use, so that a fresh sheet may be easily substituted.

To prevent the bars 5 from jumping off the threads, a non-flexible, readily-detachable bar 11 extends over the drop-bars. This bar is held at its ends in the slotted ends of brackets 9 by means of bent springs 10 or the like.
Patent GB-190412751-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Operating Railway and other Signals.
Inventor: SYKES WILLIAM ROBERT
Filed: 1904-06-06
Granted: 1905-05-25
Abstract: 12,751. Sykes, W. R. June 6. Semaphore signals are operated and held in position by means in which the power for operating the signal is automatically cut off or reduced when the signal is operated ; the signals may be operated electrically and held in the operated position by electromagnetic devices. Fig. 7 shows the apparatus in its normal position. To move the signal, the operator closes the circuit of an electromagnet and a motor connected in parallel. The motor circuit includes the contacts 15, 15<a>, which are connected by insulated springs 14, 14<a>. The motor shaft drives, through a worm, the spur-wheel 6, which carries two studs 19, and is loosely mounted on the shaft 5. The crank 21, to which is attached the signal rod 4 by the pin 3, and the crank 28, in which the stud 22 is loosely mounted, are fast to the crank shaft 5. When the wheel 6 revolves, the stud 19 engages the semicircular projection 27 on the stud 22, which is solid with the lever 9. This action tends to turn the lever 9 and stud 22 in their bearing. The magnet, mounted in the box 10, Fig. 1, draws its armature 11, which is pressed outwards by springs and carries the pin 12. The pin 12 then projects into the path of the lever 9 ; this engages the crank shaft 5 which turns and moves the signal over. Towards the end of the stroke, the roller 13, on the crank-pin 20 of the crank 21, meets the lever 16, which is held in its normal position, as shown, by springs 17, 18, and rotates it about the pivot 26. This acts as a brake on the motor and causes the springs 14, 14<a> to move away from the contacts 15, 15<a>, thus opening the motor circuit. The magnet circuit is not, however, broken until the signalman opens his switch to return the signal to its normal position. The pin 12 is then withdrawn from the lever 9 by the springs on the armature 11, the lever 9 and stud 22 revolve, and, by the action of gravity, the signal arm and rods release the stud 19 from the projection 27 and so free the crank shaft 5 and return to normal position. Other forms of signals and operating-motors may be used.

Abstract: 14,757. Thwaite, B. H. June 30. Smoke and fumes, treating.-Relates to improvements in the inventions described in Specifications No. 8670, A.D. 1894, Nos. 15,684 and 23,597, A.D. 1896, and No. 4225, A.D. 1901, [Abridgment Class Air and gases, Compressing &c.]. Blast-furnace gases are cleaned and rendered suitable for use in gas engines. The gas enters the series of " box washers 1, 2, Fig. 1, consisting of boxes divided into compartments, Fig. 5,.by partitions 25 dipping below the water surface and carrying wire-gauze frames 26 shaken by the handle 27 hinged to the spindle 28 and actuated in the water seal 27a. The gases are here cooled and a quantity of tar or oil is added to the water to assist in stopping dust. The top of the washers may be converted into a shallow tank in which hard water may be heated and softened, or soft water heated for steam-generating purposes. The gas is drawn along by the centrifugal fans 4 containing water and tar oil, mud escaping by the hydraulic box 8. The gas leaves the fans and is forced along the horse-shoe main 10 into the filter 11, Fig. 4, entering the annular space 13 and forcing its way through the sawdust or other filtering-material 14, 15. A rotating spindle with projecting arms or loops 17 permit the shaking of the material without involving stoppage by means of the central joint 18. The spindle is suspended from the annular hydraulic seal 32, and the cover 36 can be lifted off without disturbing it. Leaving the filter, the gas enters the holder, which regulates the flow by means of the valve 20, Fig. 1. When the holder is at the desired height, a chain connected to it is put in tension, tilting the valve 20 and allowing the gas to escape by a pipe back to the fan inlet 4.
