Granted: 1907-12-07
Abstract: 27,969. Macdonald, A., and Adamson, A. Dec. 8. Tools for setting-out work.-An instrument for drawing centre lines across the ends of shafts at right-angles or any angle and corresponding surface lines has a rectangular or cruciform piece a, on which are mounted distance-pieces h, i and a swivelling arm m. The length of the pieces h, i is varied according to the diameter of the shaft for which the tool is to be used. Projections k, l at right-angles to the face of the instrument are formed on the pieces h, i, which fit in recessed channels or dovetails f, g and abut against stops j. The boss of the arm m has a graduated scale n for registering the number of degrees through which the arm has been swung. An adjustable piece p is carried in a slot o in the arm m, and is formed with a projecting finger q which abuts against the edge of the projection l in the zero position of the arm m. A spirit level s may be fitted on the surface r. The pieces h, i may be adjustably held in position by screws x entering holes y, as shown in Fig. 4. The pieces h, i may be adjusted by micrometer screw-heads u, and the instrument may be clamped to a shaft by screws w through projections v opposite the stops j, as shown in Fig. 6. For key-seating the hubs of wheels and pulleys, two pieces 1, 2 with pins 9 are pivoted on a pin 3, and the piece a is provided with a centre-line piece 5, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10. A right and left handed adjusting-screw 4 passes through pivoted bearings 14, 15 on the pieces 1, 2. The screw 4 is revolubly fixed in a bearing 16 which slides in a slot 18 formed in the piece 5. A graduated quadrant 11 may be attached to one of the arms 1 so that the distance measured between the points 12, 13 will give the standard size of keyway. The size of keyway suitable for a shaft may be indicated along same by the appliance shown in Figs. 11 and 12.

Inventor: WILSON GEORGE
Filed: 1907-01-25
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 1901. Wilson, G. Jan. 25. Rotary-cylinder and eccentric - circular - piston type.-A pump, which may be adapted for use as a motor, comprises a piston drum rotating about an eccentric axis, and reciprocating in a slot formed in a cylinder rotating at half the speed of the piston drum. A cylinder B rotates within a casing A, and is formed with a diametrical rectangular slot terminating at each end in openings or ports in the periphery of the cylinder which, as the cylinder revolves, communicate successively with suction and delivery ports U, S. The ends of the cylinder B comprise two ring-shaped portions N to which are secured disks D, E provided with bushes d, e revolving in bosses in the outer casing. According to the Provisional Specification, the disks D, E revolve in ball bearings. The eccentric piston drum C is keyed to a shaft I and is further secured by a flange nut K. The piston drum is balanced by fillings M of lead or other heavy metal. The driving-shaft I carries a pinion J which gears with internal teeth P cut in the disk E. The operation of the pump is as follows: the piston drum reciprocates in the slot in the cylinder B and, owing to the drum making twice the number of revolutions of the cylinder, the piston is always receding from the port communicating with the inlet U and advancing towards the port communicating with the discharge S. The possibility of the two-to-one motion of the piston and cylinder is proved mathematically in the Provisional Specification.

Abstract: 18,481. Smith, G. S. Sept. 3. Protractors and like angle-plotting instruments; sketching-boards.-Relates to apparatus for plotting the courses of railways, roads, canals, rivers, &c., one form being adapted for office use, and another for use as a sketching-board for field work. The apparatus for office use is shown in plan in Fig. 1, and in cross-section in Fig. 2. At the ends of a board or frame 2 are mounted rollers 3, supporting a sheet A of transparent fabric on which the map of the railway &c. is to be drawn. Beneath the sheet A is a rotary circular protractor 9 mounted on a carrier comprising a sleeve 7 adapted to slide on a rod 5 secured to the frame 2. The centre of the protractor can thus be brought into coincidence with any desired point on the sheet A. The protractor is provided with radial lines forming a scale of degrees or compass scale, and with a series of concentric circles forming a linear scale. In using the apparatus, the protractor is first set with the radial line which represents the general compass direction of the railway, arranged parallel to the side edges of the strip A ; an outer scale 10 of degrees is used for this purpose, in conjunction with an index-mark 11 on an arm 20 of the sliding protractor-carrier. The centre of the protractor is then made to coincide with the point from which the railway line on the map is to start, and the first section is then drawn with the aid of a ruler 12 pivoted at 14 to an arm 13 fixed to the sliding sleeve 7, the direction and length of such section being obtained by means of the inner scale of degrees and the linear scale of the protractor. Successive sections are drawn in the same way. For use in drawing curves, a series of curves springing from the centre and bending to the right and left of the radial line representing the zero of the scale of degrees may be marked on the protractor. Fig. 7 shows the form applicable as a sketching- board. The protractor card is not rotatable, and is set to the required general compa s direction by inserting its corners in slits in the sliding carrier. Sights 21, 21<1> are fixed in relation to the board and protractor and a magnetic compass 22. The compass is of the floating-card type, the scale on the card being visible through an opening 23.
