Title: Improvements in building motions for ring spinning frames
IPC: D01H1/36
Filed: 1929-05-08
Abstract: 333,248. Ryder & Son, Ltd., T., Ryder, F. E., and Holt, J. A. May 8, 1929. Building-motions. - In order that cops having the characteristics of mule cops may be wound in continuous spinning-frames a trip-motion is introduced into the building-motion so that the rail carrying the guides or travellers is disconnected at the top of each chase stroke and falls before the yarn has completed one turn around the nose of the cop. The building-motion comprises a cam-operated lever F which reciprocates a rack B, geared by pinions a' or other gear with the lifting- pokers, by means of a carriage C freely mounted on the rack B and a carriage L detachably secured to the rack by a spring-controlled pin l, the trip-motion being interposed between the carriages. The lever F reciprocates the carriage C by the engagement of a bowl f with a shaperplate D pivotally mounted on the carriage and adjusted throughout the building by means of a shaper cam E, Fig. 4, which is rotated by wormgearing h<5> on a side shaft H and ratchet-gearing c moved one tooth at each reciprocation of the carriage by a pawl c<1>, and is of such shape that the inclination of the shaper-plate to the vertical is increased of the shaper-plate to the vertical 1, 2 for the formation of the cop bottom and then slightly decreased at the point 3 for the formation of the end of the cop. The carriage L carries a cam K engaged by a roller j on an arm J carried by the carriage C, the cam K being rotated, so that the carriage L and rack B are moved relatively to the carriage C to effect the building by means of worm gearing k<1> splined on a shaft H<1> coupled to the shaft H. The arm J is coupled to the carriage. C by a shouldered lever M which engages a pin j<1> projecting from the arm J and embraced by a slot in a link O<1>; this constitutes the trip-motion and a bar f<1> on the lever trips the lever M when the guide or ring rail is at the top of each chase so that the operative connection between the carriages L, C, is broken and the rail falls quickly by gravity augmented by other means if desired. The shock of the relative movement between the arm and the carriage C is absorbed by a spring J<1>, an air or liquid cylinder or like means, and, as the carriage C is withdrawn during the normal operation of the motion the re-engagement of the pin j<1> and the lever M is ensured by the arresting of the movement of the link O<1> by means of a rod 0 coupled thereto and provided with adjustable stop-nuts. o<1> adapted to engage the framework of the machine.

Patent GB-315692-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to sheet delivery apparatus
IPC: B65H29/60
Filed: 1929-05-08
Abstract: 315,692. Camco (Machinery), Ltd., (Assignees of Tufts, L. R., and Olson, A.). July 16, 1928, [Convention date]. Delivery apparatus.- Paper sheets being delivered from a machine such as a folding-machine 10 are deflected by means of a member 43 to different delivery points, and each sheet after leaving the deflector 43 engages a detector device associated with its own delivery mechanism so as to set the deflector for directing the succeeding sheet to another delivery mechanism. A sheet A passing over the upper side of the deflector 43 is forwarded by a steel roll 36 and rubber wheels 35 to an endless stacker-band 71 moving parallel to the direction of delivery. Pivotally-mounted on an arm 58 adjustable by a set-screw 54 and spring 53 is a swinging-shoe 45 the end of which normally projects between the roll 36 and wheels 35 so that the front edge of the sheet A forces it backwardly. A similar arrangement of steel roll 38, rubber wheels 40, adjustable arm 61, and swinging shoe 46 is arranged below the rolls 38, 40 so as to forward a sheet which passes below the deflector 43 on to an endless stacker band 74 moving at right-angles to the direction of delivery from the machine 10. The shoes 45, 46 are coupled together by cranks 58, 66 and a connecting-link 67, and an extension 68 of the crank 66 is connected by a link 69 to a crank 70 on the spindle 44 of the deflector 43. The backward movement of the shoe 45 caused by the sheet A therefore causes the deflector 43 to be rotated into position for deflecting the succeeding sheet on to the band 74, and so as to reset the shoe 46 for engagement by this sheet. In a modified construction, the, cranks 68, 70 and link 69 are dispensed with, and electric contacts on the link 67 are adapted to connect up electric circuits containing electromagnets which operate the deflector 43, such operation in this case being independent of the force excited by the sheet on the shoe 45 or 46. The delivery mechanism is arranged as a separate entity in a frame 22 and is geared to the delivery rolls 14 of the folding machine by means of an idler gearwheel coupling the rolls 14 to the rolls 27 feeding the sheet into the delivery mechanism. Specification 308,352 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in a valve device for the conduit supplying the combustible gas to a gas burner
IPC: F23D14/82
Filed: 1961-04-21
Abstract: 934,072. Valves. EL- & GASSVETSNING A.B. April 21, 1961 [May 13, 1960], No. 14495/61. Class 135. A safety valve e.g. controlling the supply of acetylene gas to a burner, has a seat 6 in the inlet 4 with which co-operates a tubular closuremember 7 supported on a spring-loaded diaphragm 8 forming inlet and outlet chambers 3a, 9, respectively. In the flow path between the chamber 9 and valve outlet 2 is an auxiliary closure member 17 having an " O "-ring 18 for sealing the bore 19 leading to the outlet 2, the member 17 being carried by a sleeve 16 in the bore of an insert 13. The sleeve 16 embodies a pair of opposed slots 20 with which coact a pin 21 carried by the insert 13, each slot incorporating a recess 22 and a cam edge; compressed between the pin 21 and the bottom of the sleeve 16 is a spring 25 which urges the member 17 towards the closed position and against the action of which spring the sleeve 16 can be latched with the member 17 in the open position by causing recesses 22 to engage the pin 21. A flame guard 27 and a metal sleeve 28 are mounted in the chamber 9. Both closure members are normally unseated but upon a pressure rise occurring in or beyond the outlet 2, e.g. due to an explosure caused by oxygen in the acetylene gas supply conduit, the pressure rise in chamber 9 seats the member 7 and displaces the sleeve 16 against its spring 25 away from the outlet 2 so causing its rotation due to the pin 21 riding over the cam edges whereby the pin 21 is aligned with the slots 20 so that upon the pressure in the outlet 2 falling the spring 25 seats the member 17. The latter is reopened by rotating the sleeve 16 with a screw-driver passed through the outlet 2.

Title: Improvements in or relating to steam or other locomotives comprising booster engines or motors
IPC: B61C15/02
Filed: 1924-06-16
Abstract: 232,447. Gresley, H. N. June 16, 1924. Railway locomotives, steam.- In a locomotive having a booster engine supported by the main frame or trailing-truck frame and driving a trailing axle or bogie, the thrusts set up when the booster engine is working are transmitted direct to the main frame or the trailing-truck frame. The booster frame 4 carries cylinders 5 and is supported by bearings 7 on the trailing axle 1 and by a ball-jointed link 8 and a transverse lever from the main frame 15. The axle-boxes 3 are guided in the usual manner to allow radial movement of the axle. Forward extensions 17 of the booster frame carry horizontal pins 20 on which thrust blocks or shoes 16 are pivoted, these blocks bearing against and sliding over rocking shoes 18 carried by a cross-member 19 of the main frame. Each shoes 18 is loosely connected to the member 19 by a vertical bolt-and-slot device 24 the back of the shoe being formed with two semi-cylindrical ridges 27 abutting against corresponding grooves in the cross-member, so that the shoe can rock about either ridge as a pivot. The shoes 16, 18 thus transmit the . booster thrusts direct from the booster frame to the main frame while their sliding and rocking movements permit free movement of the trailing axle in all other directions. Steam is conveyed to the booster cylinders by ball-jointed pipes 29.

Filed: 1920-05-28
Abstract: 145,005. Valley Holding Corporation, (Assignees of Browne, V. B.). June 9, 1919, [Convention date]. Metal foil.-In a method of hot-rolling metal sheets, particularly steel sheets, to a thickness ranging from about 6-1000ths to 2-1000ths of an inch or less, the sheets are first rolled to a thickness approximately between 14-1000ths and 6-1000ths of an inch, are then sandwiched while cold between materially heavier heated sheets of dissimilar characteristics and are then rolled to the desired thickness, the dissimilar sheets facilitating separation after rolling. For example, a pack consisting of one or more silicon-steel sheets alternating with mild-steel sheets after hot rolling may be readily separated into sheets. The pack is made with the outside sheets always of the thicker metal, and is prepared for rolling by placing the cold thin sheets between the thicker sheets which have been previously heated to rolling temperature. The pack mav be doubled or otherwise manifolded, a doubled pack being sheared after rolling. The heavier sheets after separation from the pack may be rolled down to standard thicknesses. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states that the pack may be first prepared and then subsequently heated to rolling temperature, preferably a low rolling temperature. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
