Title: An Improvement in Apparatus for Winding Brass Bobbins used in Twist Lace Machines
Inventor: BROOKSBANK ROBERT
Filed: 1901-08-17
Granted: 1902-08-16
Abstract: 16,528. Brooksbank, R. Aug. 17. Lace bobbins, winding &c.- Relates to a machine for winding brass bobbins. The sley which guides the threads to the bobbins is made of a number of strips B spaced apart and having a small spring between each pair; these strips are carried in troughs A, C, or wires are threaded through holes in each end. Nuts on the bolts E allow of change of gauge, the springs tending to separate the strips. A worm J is used instead of the usual measuring- dial. The sley is carried by a block G, which slides in guides H to and from the bobbins, which are carried on a shaft M which has spring arrangements at each end to allow expansion of the bobbins when filling. By means of a spring- actuated sliding bar R, which carries a disc Q, the disc Q can be removed for the bobbins to be inserted.

Title: Improved Machinery for Cutting Mouldings in Stone
Inventor: TEBBS FRANK
Filed: 1902-01-02
Granted: 1902-11-27
Abstract: 125. Tebbs, F. Jan. 2. Moulding.-Curved mouldings are formed by a cutter e of suitable form carried by a swinging pendulum d. The radius of the moulding is determined by the effective length of the pendulum, which is altered by changing the pivot in the holes of the pendulum and standards g, and by moving the tool on the end of the pendulum. For this purpose the cutter is carried at the end of the tubular nut w, or by a bracket connected to it and moving in guides e<1>, and the nut is moved in or out by the screw x and hand-wheel s. The work is clamped on an adjustable table. The pendulum is connected by a link h to a carriage i, which is reciprocated by a screw spindle m driven alternately in opposite directions at different speeds by means of the fast and loose pulleys n, o.

Title: Improvements in Holders or Chucks for Drills and other Tools.
Filed: 1902-02-03
Granted: 1902-06-05
Abstract: 2749. Lake, H. H., [Seneca Falls Manufacturing Co.]. Feb. 3. Tool - holders. - A holder B for drills or other tools is made to be readily secured in or removed from a socket A fitting the machine spindle, so that the tool may be changed while the machine is in motion. The holder has a groove e with which a ball f carried by the socket can engage, to retain and drive the holder. The ball is pressed in by a ring D having a limited movement on the socket. When the ring is raised, the holder may be pulled out, the ball moving outwards sufficiently to release the holder. The movement of the ball may be limited by contracting the ends of the hole in the socket, or its outward movement may be limited by limiting the upward movement of the ring. Three locking-balls, engaging separate grooves or recesses, may be used, and the recesses may be formed by inserting three stop-pins in a continuous groove. In a modification, the groove is continuous, the ball merely retaining the holder in the socket, and the holder having flats so that it may be driven by projections inside the socket.
