Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 2745. Napier & Son, D., Rainforth, W. F., and Andrews, W. J. Feb. 4. Drilling-machines; tapping.- In a multiple-spindle machine for tapping, drilling, or similarly treating nut or other blanks of the type in which an intermittently-rotated blank-holder brings the blank opposite the tool, and in which the tool has a long shank to receive the finished articles, the forward movement of the turret workholder advances the blanks on to the tool and displaces a feedconduit towards a fixed part to feed the blanks to the workholder. In the form shown, two caps D<1> are mounted in split chucks B<3> operated by the usual grip and release mechanism controlled by a lever B<4> and rotated by a belt and gearing connecting the two spindles. A work-holder E, which may be provided with three or more series of holes of different sizes to suit the size of blank, is adjustable ruund its spindle E<2> and clamped in position by a nut, the position being determined by holes in the holder engaging pins in the spindle E<2>. The blanks abut against screw stops E<5> and are also held in the work-holder by spring-pressed balls. The workholder is moved towards the tools by a handle F through a rack and pinion, and the spindle is rotated by a .pin E<4> on the support E<3> engaging V-grooves in the spindle. Two V-grooves are provided so that the work-holder rotates in the same direction in either direction of traverse of the work-holder Straight grooves e<2> are used for guiding the work-holder during the cutting operation. Two feed chutes H with openings H<2> for the removal of the blanks are mounted on a slide H<4> pressed by a spring against the workholder, and when the latter is fed forward blanks are pressed into the work-holder, while other blanks are being cut, by fixed stops. When the workholder abuts the plate G', the blanks are drawn from it and are guided over the tool by suitably shaped removable abutments and received on the tool spindle. By turning the handle F the workholder is withdrawn and partially rotated, and then fed forward again. The stops may be moved instead of the conduits.

Title: Improvements in Training Gear for Ordnance.
Inventor: BACON REGINALD HUGH SPENCER
IPC: F41A27/26
Filed: 1910-04-01
Granted: 1911-05-01
Abstract: 7870. Bacon, R. H. S., and Duncan, F. April 1. Naval mountings.-Relates to hydraulic training-gear for turntables of the kind in which the speed in either direction is increased by moving a control valve from its central position to one side or the other. The invention consists in providing a supplementary hand-controlled valve which may be operated to cause the turntable to revolve at full speed in either direction, independently of the setting of the main control valve, the turntable, at the termination of the period of quick speed, resuming its original speed and direction of rotation. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the main valve c is operated from a hand-wheel a<3> through the medium of a two-part valve spindle a, b. The part a of the spindle, which moves vertically on rotating the hand-wheel a<3>, has a fixed collar a<6> and loose collars b<4>, b<5>, forming abutments for stiff springs b<2>, b<3> arranged in a cylinder b<1>, to which the other part b of the valve spindle is attached. The cylinder b<1> is connected by means of an elbow-piece b<6> with a piston working in an hydraulic cylinder controlled by the supplementary valve d' which is operated by a lever d<2>. By rotating the hand-wheel a<3>, the spindle a, cylinder b<1>, and spindle b are moved as one piece owing to the stiffness of the springs, and the valve c is thereby operated. When the lever d<2> is actuated, the cylinder b<1> and spindle b move relatively to the spindle a against the action of one of the springs, and operate the valve c to increase the speed, the valve being returned to its original setting by the springs when the lever d<2> is returned to its mid-position. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which branch pipes a<1>, a<2>, b<1>, b<2> are provided between the inlet and exhaust pipes a, b of the control valve c and the pipes d, d<1> leading to the training ing engine. Cut-off valves a<3>, a<4>, b<3>, b<4>, are provided in the branch pipes, and are normally kept closed by pistons working in cylinders connected in pairs to the supplementary valve e, which, in the normal position shown, admits pressure to all the cylinders. By turning the valve e, one pair or the other of the cylinders are opened to exhaust, so that the corresponding cut-off valves lift and open one of the pipes d, d<1> to full pressure, and the other to full exhaust, so that the training-engine rotates at full speed independently of the setting of the valve c.

Abstract: 8227. Smith, W. H. April 13, 1909, [Convention date]. Tripping, throw-out, and like arrangements. - A printing, numbering, or combined apparatus provided with throw-off mechanism for preventing an impression from being taken when a sheet is not fed, is constructed so that the machine automatically returns to the normal printing position when the feed supply is continued. As shown, the invention is applied to a machine in which a printing- cylinder 2 and a numbering-cylinder 1 coact with a single impression cylinder 3, which is mounted in eccentric bearings 12 connected by extensions thereon and adjustable rods 13 to arms on a spring-controlled shaft 15, which tends to rotate to throw'off the impression, but is normally held by a trip lever 19 engaging a shoulder 18 on an arm 17 on shaft 15. The lever 19 is actuated to throw off the impression by suitable feeler mechanism arranged between the feed bands and comprising a tubular shaft 8 with an arm 25 and pin 24, which actuates the lever 19 through a lever 21 and screw 20. The shaft 8 is operated by an oscillating shaft 7 and a feeler lever 10, which co-operates with a disk 9 on the shaft 8. The shaft 15 is also connected by lever arms and adjustable connexions to two trip rolls 26 adapted to trip numbering- mechanism arranged at each end of the cylinder 1. Whenever the tripping-mechanism has been actuated it is re-set by a cam 35 on the impression cylinder, which actuates a spring- controlled lever 31 provided with a pin 36 which engages an arm 37 on the shaft 15 and returns the shaft to its original position. The printing- cylinders will then be tripped and automatically re-set at each revolution until a sheet is fed. The pin 36 can be held out of operative position so that the cylinders may remain tripped during inking-up.
