Patent GB-190716376-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Nails and Spikes.
Filed: 1907-07-16
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 16,376. Echevarria e Hijos, F. de, and Nilsson, P. A. July 16. Making nails; forging; rolling.-In a machine for making nails and spikes, the blanks are cut off from wire and are then gripped in pincers mounted on a turret 45, the head being shaped by suitable tools; they are then transferred to a second turret 73, which is inclined at an angle of forty-five degrees to the first and which holds the heads while the shanks are finished by rolling. Fig. 13 shows the various stages in the manufacture. The wire is fed by grippers 25 and the shank is forged and the cut-off length is seized by the pincers of the turret 45, and the head is forged, the turret and the feeding and forging mechanism being as described in Specification No. 10,130, A.D. 1908. The projecting head of the blank is'seized by a second turret 73, arranged at an angle of forty-five degrees to the first in order to hold the blanks by the sides instead of the edges. This turret is constructed and acts in a similar manner to the turret 45. The shank is first rolled by rolls 74, Fig. 3, guided by rollers 75. The rolls are traversed by a cam-operated lever and spring pressure is applied from a rod 76 operated by a cam 77. Tappets 80 assist the springs of the pincers in holding the blanks during the rolling action. The blanks next pass to rolling-mechanism 82, Figs. 2 and 12, in which the rolls 82 are mounted on a slide 84 and are made to approach each other by levers 83. The slide is reciprocated and the rolls are oscillated by rods 88, 89 attached to a second slide 85, the rolls thus having a differential movement. The finished nails are ejected into a hopper 92.

Title: Improvements in Driving Mechanism for Rotary Washing Machines.
Inventor: ANGER FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1907-11-04
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 24,401. Anger, F. Nov. 4. Variable-speed and reversing gearing.-Relates to means whereby a rotary washing-drum can be driven in both directions by a single belt and afterwards driven at an increased speed in one direction to drive off the water. On the shaft 2 of the machine are mounted a fast pulley 3, a loose pulley 4, and a second loose pulley 5. The inner circumference 7, Fig. 2, of the pulley 5 is toothed and engages with a pinion 9, carried by a disk mounted on the shaft, and engaging with a toothed wheel 8 on the shaft, so that the pulley 5 and the shaft 2 turn in opposite directions. The belt is moved to and fro between the pulleys 3, 5 by belt forks operated by worm gearing in the usual manner. For drying, the shaft 2 is driven by a belt passing over cones 15, 16 on the shaft 2 and a countershaft 17. In the arrangement shown, the pulleys 3, 4, 5 are driven from a cylindrical continuation 18 of the cone 16, but they may be driven directly from the main shaft. The cones 15, 16 may be placed close together and driven frictionally by means of a loose belt. The speed for drying may be further increased by means of belt gearing connecting the main shaft and the countershaft 17, or the countershaft 17 and the shaft 2. In the latter case the cones are placed on the main shaft and the shaft 17.
