Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 3491. Avery, W. Feb. 12. [Addition to 15,091/08.] Turning woodscrews. - Machines for cutting threads on screw blanks, as described in the parent Specification, have the steady-rest fixed instead of being mounted on a slide, and have modified blanktransferring and pointing means. The lowest blank held by the spring finger 5, Fig. 1, in guiderails 4 is removed by a finger 13 and slid into the groove of the steady-rest 1. A cam-lever 28 then traverses the arm 16, which has a sleeve sliding and rocking in the bearing 18, to advance the blank into the chuck jaws, an adjustable arm 15<Î> engaging the end of the blank to prevent slip. The finger 13 has a serrated end, or, as shown, is bifurcated and carries a spring blade adapted to enter between the screw-threads to prevent slip when withdrawing the finished screw. The pointing-tool that was formerly carried by a lever on the steady-rest slide is now carried by a lever 32, pivoted in the frame at 33 and cam-operated at 34. The finished screw is received in a receptacle 36 provided with draining- holes 45 and tilted forward by a cam at 42. After receiving the screw, the receptacle is returned to the position shown in Fig. 1, and pauses to give time for the inspection of the screw ; it is next rocked further forward to discharge the screw, and is then returned to its initial substantially vertical position, in which it acts also as a splash-board. Specification 11,104/08 is also referred to.
Patent GB-190908124-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Machines for the Manufacture of Glass Bottles.
Inventor: SIMPSON THOMAS WILLIAM
IPC: C03B9/18
Filed: 1909-04-05
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 8124. Simpson, T. W. April 5. Blowing; removing articles from moulds.-Relates to a modification of the machine described in Specification 19,615/08, in which parison moulds &c. are mounted on arms which rotate about a vertical axis at equal distances from one another. In machines of this type, all the rotating arms are stopped every time a mould is charged with molten glass, so that each arm is stopped several times during one revolution round the central column. According to the present invention, in order to reduce the loss of time due to these frequent stoppages, each mould-carrying arm 11, Fig. 1, is mounted on sleeves 12 and revolves independently round the column 3, making one stop only to charge the mould. The position of the arms relative to each other is thus continually changing. The arms 11 are driven by a continually rotating disk 4 in the base of the machine provided with stops which are engaged by bolts on the arms. When an arm comes to the charging-station, its bolt is raised out of engagement with the disk 4 by cam mechanism, and the arm is brought to rest by a stationary stop. The charging having been completed, the bolt is then lowered, and the arm is carried forward again before the next arm overtakes it and arrives at the charging - station. The other operations, such as inverting the parison mould, blowing, &c., are conducted in substantially the manner described in the Specification referred to above. The finished bottle B, Fig. 13, is removed from the mould 76 by a cam-operated forked lever 106 as shown by the dotted lines. The bottle is carried from the fork 106 to the annealing-oven by an attendant or by mechanical means. The air for blowing is conveyed through the hollow shaft 31 and a flexible tube (not shown) to a chamber 63 from which it passes to the neck mould 36 when the plunger 62 is withdrawn.

Abstract: 15,313. Fellows, H. W. June 30. Relay or power apparatus.-Means for adjusting by power the regulating - mechanism of a variable-speed ratchet driving-gear are described. The regulating-mechanism comprises a toothed rack 25, Fig. 1, pivoted to the frame 23 and operated by a pinion 28, Fig. 11, or a shaft 29 carrying a worm-wheel 30 in mesh with a worm 31 on a shaft 32 having a disk 33 driven in either direction by adjustable disks 34, 35 on a sleeve 37, slidably keyed to a shaft 36, which is driven continuously by a belt 48 from the crank-shaft 19. To move the disks 34, 35 to control the adjustment of the rack 25, a lever 38, engaging a grooved collar 39 on the sleeve 37, is connected by a link 44 to an operating-lever 46. Movement of the rack when the adjusting-means has been thrown out of action is prevented by a slidable block 41, which is connected by a link 43 to the lever 38 and is forced against the rack 25 in the out-ofgear position of the disks 34, 35. In order to render the rack 25 available for manual operation independently of the power-adjusting means, the worm-end of the shaft 32 may be mounted in eccentric bearings, by turning which the worm may be disengaged from the wheel 30.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Interrupters for Magneto Ignition purposes.
Inventor: MILTON JOHN LEWIS
Filed: 1908-10-20
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 21,962. Milton, J. L. Oct. 20, 1908. Interrupters, mechanical.-An interrupter for magneto-ignition in internal-combustion engines which ensures that, while at low speeds the voltage used for sparking is the maximum developed, at high speeds it is not excessive, acts by automatically varying the timing of the spark in relation to the peak of the curve of electromotive force developed by means depending upon the slow movement of a spring-pressed lever at the high speeds in comparison with the movement of the armature. The interrupter is described in combination with a magneto such as is described in Specification 22,271/08, and comprises a contact spring 33, Fig. 3, connected at one end to an insulated pedestal 52 and, at the other, adapted to move between contacts 34, 35, the normal position being upon contact 34. Engaging the spring is a leathercovered roller 59 mounted at one end of a cranked lever, which is pivoted at 54 and connected to a spring 57 at the other end. Near the roller end of this lever, there is pivoted to it a lever 60 held by a spring 62 and prevented from rotating in a clockwise direction by a stop, but adapted to rock in the opposite direction so that the cam itself may turn in the clockwise direction. The spring contact is actuated by wings 51 on the cam 50 mounted upon the end of the magneto spindle. In normal rotation in the anti-clockwise direction, a wing upon the cam raises the foot-piece 60 ; and a projection 64 at the end of it engages beneath a projection upon the contact blade 33 and forces it into positive engagement with the upper contact 34. In this position the circuit, Fig. 7, is closed from the magneto armature through the primary winding of the transformer ; and this closure is arranged to occur just prior to the moment when the maximum electromotive force is being developed by the magneto. As the cam further rotates, the foot-piece is released, and the spring- pressed roller rapidly moves the contact arm over on to the contact 35. During the small interval of time that the circuit has been broken, the condenser C, Fig. 7, has been charged and when contact is made with the lower contact 35 after an angular rotation of the armature depending in amount upon the speed of the armature; the condenser discharges, assisted by the magneto, through the primary of the transformer, the secondary of which developes the sparking-circuit. The armature has already rotated an angular distance from the positions of maximum electromotive force before the transformer is again connected to it. The angle moved through, and consequently the diminution of electromotive force, is proportional to the speed, so that, at high speeds, the magneto is only connected in circuit a second time after the maximum electromotive force is reduced.
