Title: Improvements in connection with Yarn or Thread Winding, Doubling or Gassing Machines or the like.
Inventor: ARUNDEL HENRY BIRKBY
Filed: 1903-01-09
Granted: 1903-11-12
Abstract: 612. Arundel, H. B., and Higginson, J. Jan. 9. Winding-machines; yarns and threads, gassing.- In winding, doubling, or gassing machines, or the like, the formation of lumps or protuberances on the cheese is prevented by destroving the harmony between the motion of the thread-guide and the motion of the cheese. This may be effected, as in Fig. 1, by transmitting either the traversing motion of the guide a or the rotary motion of the friction drum r through differential gearing. The wires b, on which the guide a is supported, are reciprocated through a connecting-rod c from a rocking lever d operated by a cam f, which is rotated by a spur-wheel g. From this spur-wheel g, the drum r is rotated through bevel-wheels n, p, m and a spur-wheel h. The spindle t of the bevel-wheel p is attached to a sleeve u which envelopes a bush v, so that the spindle t is free to be rocked. An external screw thread on the sleeve s gears with and rotates a worm-wheel x fixed to a disc y. This disc is pivoted at z to one end of a pivoted lever 2, so that as the wheel x is rotated, the sleeve s and spindle t are given a slow rocking motion, and the velocity ratio of the shafts k, q constantly varies. The same effect may be produced by the use of conical belt pulleys, along which a driving-belt is slowly moved. The object of the invention may also be effected by altering the terminal points of the travel of the thread-guide. This may be done by altering the effective length of the connecting- rod c, by providing it with an eccentric pin at either end, which pin is slowly rotated by a ratchet and pawl on an arm jointed to an anchor link. Or the effective length of a rocking lever d may be altered by causing the block c' to be moved up and down the pin d', by projections from the block carrying pins which work in a cam-groove in a shaft supported in a bearing in the lever d and rotated by a ratchet and pawl, as above. If a grooved cam 33, Fig. 8, is used to reciprocate the tranverse rods, the cam bowl 34 is mounted on a spindle 35 passing through an eccentric bush 36 which is rotated by a ratchetwheel 38, and a pawl operated by an arm and anchor link, or by being pivoted to a reciprocating spur-pinion gearing with a fixed rack. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that the length of the connecting-rod c may be altered by means of a screw, or cam, or system of levers actuated by a pawl and ratchet, or the cam f may be reciprocated parallel to its axis.

Abstract: 9840. Papleux, A. April 30. Spring wheels; pneumatic wheels ; felloes or rims ; tyres, non-elastic; spokes; packing, elastic and soundabsorbing.-To cushion shocks, springs, or rubber, pneumatic, or other elastic bodies are inserted between the rim and the tyre of a motor-car or other vehicle wheel, and between the ends of the spokes and the hub. The independent tyre a has one side shorter than the other, and after the half balls d of rubber have been inserted the chamber is closed by a piece b. To facilitate sliding, the walls of the chamber are polished and metal plates e, e<1> are attached to the felloes. Plates f, resting like springs on the outer walls of the tyre, prevent the entrance of mud and dust. In a modification, whole balls are used, and the tyre has equal sides provided with polished end guide-bands ; a cheek-piece on the outer face of the felloe has a guide-band at its edge, while a detachable similar cheek-piece is secured on the other face. In another arrangement, the tyre and cheek-pieces have no guide-bands. To absorb sound, a band of rubber may be arranged between the tyre and the elastic body, or on the outer surface of the tyre, and to prevent creeping, notches are formed on the rim and tyre. For further resiliency, a second suspension chamber may be arranged on the hub,as shown in Fig. 7.

Granted: 1903-07-23
Abstract: 11,426. Lind, A. A. :May 19. Telegraphs; telephones.-In a portable telephonic telegraph, the electromagnet, its armature, and its contact are connected together and slide inside the induction coil, thus forming the telegraphic transmitter or vibrator. The induction coil 10 is mounted in the upper chamber 9 of a case 1 containing a dry battery 2. The electromagnet 12 has an iron core 13, and an iron casing 14, and slides loosely inside the cylindrical iron core 11 of the induction coil. A contact-screw 15, connected with the electromagnet core 13, can connect with a contact-piece 27, and so with the dry battery terminal 3 through a spring 5. A ring 17, and cross-piece 18, carry an adjusting-screw 19 for the spring 21 controlling the vibrations of the electromagnet armature 20. A push-button 25 is used to move the electromagnet and its accessories against a spiral spring 23, the whole thus forming the transmitting-key. When the push-button 25 is pressed, the contact-screw 15 touches the contactpiece 27, and so completes the electromagnet circuit, thus causing the current to flow from the battery terminal 3, through the spring 5, the electromagnet 12, its armature, 20, the spring 21, the cross-piece 18, the induction-coil core 11, and the primary of the induction coil, and so through the wall of the casing 1 back to the battery through a spring 8 and terminal 4. The secondary circuit of the induction coil is of course connected to the telephone line. Contact springs 42, 43 are acted upon by the vibrator in a switching-device to bring the transmitter and receiver of the telephone into or out of circuit. Casings 34, 35, containing the telephone receiver and transmitter, are carried by tubes 36, 37 sliding in tubes 38, so as to economize space.

Abstract: 27,534. Marks, G. C., [Goldman, G.]. Dec. 16. Padding.-To give to felted or matted fabrics, leather, &c. the desired variation of thickness preparatory to stamping or cutting-cut garment pads therefrom, as described in Specifications Nos. 27,529, 27,530, and 27,531, A.D. 1904, and No. 27,532, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Fabrics, Dressing &c.), the fabric is advanced in a cutting-machine by a travelling apron between a pattern roller 2, Fig. 9, and a pressure roller 3, which forces the fabric into depressions in the pattern roller. A band knife 1, a part of which travels along a line immediately over and parallel to the axis of the pattern roller, cuts away the parts pressed into the depressions in the pattern roller, Fig. 6. The pattern roller is mounted in bearings 9, Fig.11, adjustable vertically and horizontally, and may be grooved longitudinally, spirally, or in any other manner. To form different sizes of pads from the fabric, pattern rollers of different sizes may be used, or a single roller may be provided with a series of plates, each having a depression and capable of being superimposed as shown at Fig. 1<b>. The pressure roller is mounted in adjustable bearings carried by arms keyed to the shaft 9, and is pressed against the pattern roller by springs. An emery sharpening-wheel is provided, and may be driven independently of the rest of the machine. The pattern roller is driven by means of chain and spur gearing. In order that different thickness of material may pass through the machine, a feed-roller 6, Fig. 11, driven with the pattern roller, is provided with a sprocketwheel 52 round which a chain 53 passes. The chain drives a sprocket-wheel 54 on the upper feed-roller 5, which is mounted in slots so as to adjust itself to the thickness of the material, and a spring 57 maintains the feed-roller 5 in its lowermost position. The fabric may be cut in a longitudinally-extending undulatory line, Fig. 16, by providing the pattern roller with circular end-plates 70 which determine the distance from the pattern roller at which the knife is to act. Any other form of cutter may be used instead of the band knife. The pattern roller may be placed above the pressure roller, or the rollers may have their axes in a vertical position.
