Title: Improvements in Friction Clutches, Brakes, Dynamometers and the like.
Inventor: HELE-SHAW HENRY SELBY
Filed: 1904-05-02
Granted: 1905-05-02
Abstract: 9994. Shaw, H. S. Hele-. May 2. Dynamometers. - Relates to dynamometers, clutches, and the like of the type described in Specification No. 28,145, A.D. 1902, in which frictional engagement is produced by axial movement of plates. The object is to adjust the pressure between the plates automatically to maintain a constant power absorbed or torque transmitted. One set of plates a, Fig. 6, is driven by a driving- shaft S, and another b connected to a casing B is held stationary by means of lugs 1, a scale beam 2 with a weight 3, or the like, moving between stop pins or provided with stop bars 4<a>, 4<b>, as shown in Fig. 4. Pressure is applied to the plates by pins 5, Fig. 1, through a forked lever 7 and rollers 8 acting on a disc 6 in such a way as not to interfere with the balance. The surface of the disc is inclined under the roller at 9, Fig. 1, so that variation in friction produces a compensating variation in end pressure ; or a knife-edge, such as 9<a>, Fig. 1<a>, acts in both directions. This double ccmpensation may also be effected by links 10, Fig. 3. The shaft S is carried by bearings supported on a base-plate 20, and is attached to the friction plates a through a hub A provided with holes 36 for the passage of cooling and lubricating fluid circulated from a reservoir 28 through the apparatus from centre to circumference by a small rotary pump driven by a belt from the shaft S. A pressure plate 14 is held out of engagement with the friction plates a, b by springs 22 acting on studs 22<a> screwed into it, unless thrust forward by the pins 5 and roller or link arrangements shown in Figs. 1 and 3 respectively. The ends of the pins 5 may also be acted on by a second set of knife-edges 9<b>, carried on an arm 23, the foot of which slides in a grooved piece 24. The advancement of the arm 23 is effected by turning a screwed hand-wheel 25 which abuts against a fixed bearing. To support the weight 3 when starting, loose pivoted legs 27 are provided, the heavy heads 27<a> of which tilt them into the free position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Linoleum.
Inventor: STAEDING AUGUST ALEXANDER EDUA
Filed: 1904-10-27
Granted: 1904-12-22
Abstract: 23,173. Staeding, A. A. E. H. Oct. 27. Coated fabrics.- In the manufacture of inlaid linoleum, the tesserµ are moulded of a distorted shape in order to compensate for the distortion produced by the calendering - rolls. The moulds are arranged in the e form of grids h, Fig. 3, the distortion being obtained by means of sloping sides g,f, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, which show sections along the lines A-A and B-B respectively, and by the varying depths of the moulds obtained by forming the surface of the grid to slopefrom both sides up to the centre line, and from the lower edge to the top. The moulds need not be in distorted arrangement a s shown in Fig. 3, but may be regular as shown in Fig. 14, and the distortion may be given by filling-pieces o, p, q, t. Similar moulds of a cylindrical form as shown in Fig. 10 may be employed. In use, the grid frame is laid with the holes h<1>, Fig. 14, over registering pins h<2>, Figs. 1 and 2, on the moulding-table and is covered by a templet through which the granulated material of the required colour is filled in. All the colours being applied through successive templets at successive registered positions along the backing, the backing and the tesserµ are brought under the calendering- rollers k and compressed. Conical templets n, Fig. 12, are employed with the cylindrical moulding-frame, and are inserted at both sides. The cylindrical grid may be driven at a different speed from that of the calendering-rolls. The back calendering-roll is greater in diameter than the face roll by the thickness of the material, In order to adjust the registering pins h<2>, their shanks move in slots, Figs. 15, 16, 17, and 18, and can be held in position by nuts as shown. The grids may have holes to engage the pins h<2>, or slides t, v to engage cavities in the pins.

Title: Improvements in Steam Hydraulic Intensifiers.
Filed: 1905-01-14
Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 781. Davy Bros., and Holmes, T. E. Jan. 14. Fluid pressure hammers; valves and valve-gear; pumping- engines.-Consists in means for operating the distributing-valve of steam intensifiers for fluidpressure hammers, hydraulic presses, and the like so constructed and arranged that the handing lever is not subject to violent shocks, and in means for preventing the excessive travel of the main piston. Fig. 1 shows the application to an ordinary hydraulic press fitted with retracting-cylinders 6. The intensifier cylinder 8 is connected to the press cylinder 2 in the usual way, and the lowpressure pipe connects the cylinders 2, 8 with the air vessel 9 through the valves 11, 12. The intensifier ram 13 is integral with the rod 14 of the steam piston 15. The main controlling - valve 17 admits motive fluid from the pipe 18 to the cylinder 16 through the pipe 19 and to the lifting. cylinders 6 by the pipe 20 alternately, the exhaust fromeither passing through the passage 21. The pivoted-handing lever 22 actuates the stem 24 of the valve 17 through the " floating" lever 25, which is pivoted to the stem 24 and to the link 30, which connects it to a three-armed lever 35, in connexion with a weighted but otherwise similar lever 42 by a link 40 and a bar 31. This bar is arranged always to come in contact with a roller 32 attached to the rod 13, so that, assuming the valve 17 to have been depressed to allow the steam to force the piston 15 upwards and also to exhaust the cylinders 6, as the piston 15 reaches its upper limit the upper end of the bar 31 is forced outwards and operates the three-armed levers, and consequently causes the lever 25 to turn about the point 27 and so to close the valve 17 again. The ram 1 will thus be forced downwards ; to raise it again, the handing lever is moved in the opposite direction to that for the former movement, when steam flows from the pipe 18 through the pipe 20. The weight 41 has the effect of allowing the point 29 to be used as a fulcrum for the lever 25. The lever 22 may be operated by a small motor, as shown in Fig. 2, in which case the banding lever 46 operates a valve 45 connected to a " floating " lever 47. This lever is also connected to the arm 22, which in moving closes the valve. Means, comprising a cock 51 fitted on a by-pass 52 from the main steam-pipe 18, is also provided whereby when the press is required to work rapidly with short strokes a permanent cushion of steam may be maintained beneath the piston 5. To enable water to be withdrawn from the system, a pivoted lever 54 is arranged to be operated by the lever 22 when the latter is moved beyond,the normal position to admit steam to the lifting cylinders. The lever 54 is connected to the rod 58, which bears on the stem of the valve 12 and opens it.

Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 14,082. Jolly, J., and Willis, P. E. July 8. Slubbing &c. frames ; stop - mot i o n s.- Slubbing, roving, intermediate, and jack frames are stopped when the bobbins are filled, and prevented from restarting before the rack has been moved back, by operating the stop - motion, and raising the lower driven cone, from the bar controlling the change of lift, such arrangement effecting the stoppage of the bobbin rail in the middle of its lift when the bobbins are filled. The oscillating liftcontrolling bar #, Fig. 3, acts, when at the middle of the oscillation, and on completion of the bobbins, on a pivoted lever D to withdraw a stop E and release a rod H, which is then raised by a spring F, and through a rod h, pivoted U-lever G, and link a<1>, lifts the support a of the driven cone A. The rise of the rod H acts through a pivoted bell crank M to move the stop rod C, or in another arrangement, it releases a detent_and allows a compressed spring to move the rod C. A handle R linked -to the lever G serves to return the parts. A friction bowl may be mounted on the end of the bar B or on the lever D.
