Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Blind-stitching, Blind Felling, and like Sewing or Stitching.
Inventor: BROWN JOHN ARTHUR
Filed: 1905-11-08
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 22,866. Brown, J. A. Nov. 8. Blind-stitching machines.-The work to be blindstitched is folded round the end a<1> of a bar a which is universally mounted on the work-plate at a<2>. The needle passes through the fabric near to the edge a<3>, which is rounded. The position of the edge can be adjusted by a stop c. The feed dogs are arranged to feed towards the operator, and in so doing carry the bar a together with the work. A clamp q pivoted at p holds the lower layer of fabric between it and the throat plate so that, when the bar a is moved back into contact with the stop c, the work is caused to moved round the bar a in readiness for the next stitch. The bar a is actuated by a lever h and a cam j, which is provided with a flat at j<1> in order to allow a little play of the bar a when the needle is in the work. The length of the stitches is determined by the movement of the bar a, and that is regulated by a screw stop e. A spring m presses the bar a on to the throat plate. A modified form is shown fitted to a machine having one or more vibrating needles. The bar a is actuated by a lever engaging a cam on the top shaft, and the clamp, instead of being lifted by the presser, is lifted automatically by a lever and a cam on the top shaft. The bar a is fitted with an adjustable slide t having several arms t<1> which pass through slots in the underside of the head s of the bar. The curved edge t<2> facilitates turning the work in any direction. The braid is mounted on a reel and is tensioned in any suitable manner.

Abstract: 81. Carlipp, E. Jan. 2, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Mechanics, teaching. - Relates to models for demonstrating the strains arising in building constructional parts. To render these visible, the parts are composed alternately of solid pieces 1 and adjustable springs 2, so that from the form of the latter the distribution of pressure may be ascertained. Fig. 4 shows a model arranged as an arch, with the right-hand support elastic both as regards turning and displacement. The beam 3 runs by rollers 4, 5 on rails 6, 7, and is provided with a rotatable head-piece 9 acted on by a spring 13. The rear end of the beam bears against springs 11. An addition to the tensile force on the beam may be obtained by a weight 15, and a turning action on the head-piece by a weight 17. The alteration of the distribution of the strain that takes place in consequence of the elastic alteration of form of the constructional parts due to a load may be observed by the change in form of the loaded arch when the parts 11, 13 are rigid, and when elastic. The alterations of pressure in the arch abutments are clearly shown by the cracks, if the parts have previously been coated with plaster &c. Fig. 8 shows an arrangement for adjusting the springs. Annular disks 22 are screwed over recesses 19 with pieces 1. The disks engage sleeves 20, 21 in which the springs 2 are screwed.

Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 11,474. Keith, J., and Keith, G. May 16. Fixed-abutment type of rotary blowers having piston with outwardly-sliding vanes. Means are provided for preventing pulsations in the delivery pipe, and a relief or safety valve is fitted to the delivery chamber. The blower is shown in Fig. 1, and consists of a drum B keyed to a shaft E by a taper pin e and provided with vanes b pressed apart by springs wound on pins C passing through the shaft. A passage a<1> formed in the end wall of the casing connects the delivery pipe G with a space Y which contains fluid about to be delivered by the vanes. Equality of pressure is thus gradually established before the actual delivery, and pulsations are avoided. The passage a' may be regulated by a screw. The interior of the drum is ccnnected by passages at the end with the inlet pipe F, and spring-pressed packing-rings are arranged to bear on the ends of the drum. The joints in the packing-rings come next the inlet. For high-pressure blowers, the interior is connected with the delivery side to prevent the vanes from being blown inwards. The packing-ring joints, in this case, come next the outlet. The joint between the cylindrical part A. of the casing and the boltedon end walls is made tight by fitting strips of leather or the like in annular grooves of square section turned in one of the flanges. The stuffing- box where the shaft E passes out of the casing is formed as shown in Fig. 3. A skeleton ring K is placed between two sets of rings J of soft packing, and a spring lubricator supplying Stauffer grease or other solidified oil under pressure is screwed into a connexion L. Attached to the blower is a cast-iron box containing a gas-supply chamber A<1>, Fig. 4, and a delivery chamber A<2>. Ports a<6>, a' connect the chambers with the pipes F, G respectively. A weighted relief valve C' is arranged to put the chambers into communication if the pressure of delivery becomes too high. The under edge of the valve is formed with a groove c<3> against which the escaping gas impinges and tends to keep the valve open. To prevent chattering, a dash-pot is provided on the valve stem c'. A partition C<2> separates the oil in the pot D' from the current of gas passing through d<1>. The dash-pot effect may be regulated by varying the opening c<2> leading to the foot of the valve stem, by means of a suitable screw. Fig. 8 shows a modification which enables the dash-pot to be filled without removing the door a<4>. A cup M surrounds the dash-pot and is connected by a tube N with a vertical tube Z outside the chamber. Oil poured into the tube Z enters the dash-pot through a port O. Surplus oil overflows into the chamber A'. The floors of the chambers slope towards plugged drain-holes a<5>, through which deposited oil and grease are removed.

Granted: 1908-08-18
Abstract: 14,059. Grob, H. July 6, 1906, [date appliedfor under Patents Act, 1901]. Armatures; dynamos, regulating.-A dynamo is excited by a current due to the difference of pressure between an independent source and a pressure produced by the dynamo, thereby rendering its voltage independent of the speed of the dynamo and the load on the system supplied. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the generator B has two windings and two pairs of brushes A, G, the fcrmer being connected through the field winding E to an independent source Z<2> and to the load circuit, while the latter, at a higher voltage than the former, is connected to the battery Z<1> to be charged. In a modification, the generator B has only one winding, the brushes G being made to enclose a larger number of induced conductors than the brushes A ; in another modification, the brushes G supply the load and charging circuits, while the brushes A, enclosing a smaller number of induced conductors, are connected to the independent source through the field winding E. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, a de-magnetizing winding M, energized by any source of current, is added to eliminate any residual magnetism, and a resistance N of high-temperature coefficient is inserted in the battery charging circuit when the battery is empty. In order to maintain the two batteries in the same degree of charge, they are automatically exchanged after every stoppage, during which period the two batteries are arranged in parallel.
