Patent GB-190902094-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Bobbin Winding Mechanism.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
IPC: D05B59/00
Filed: 1909-01-28
Granted: 1910-02-28
Abstract: 2094. Justice, P. M., [Plant, T. G.]. Jan. 28. S e w i n g - m a c h i n e s ; spools and the like, winding.-A bobbin 25 is secured, for winding, between a screwed flange 26 and a shoulder on a shaft 18, which is driven from a band pulley 11 through a simple clutch 14, 16. Special devices are provided for controlling the clutch and stopping rotation of the shaft, and for supplying heat to the thread mass on the bobbin. The pulley 11 is fixed to a hollow shaft 3 mounted to revolve within a sleeve 2 secured in the standard A of a boot sole sewing-machine or any convenient frame. The shaft 18 is mounted to revolve within the shaft 3, and a spring 21 surrounding it tends to keep it in the extreme right-hand position in which the clutch members are engaged. A finger 29 during the winding is positioned so that when the bobbin is filled, the outer layer of thread presses upon it and moves it upwards. This movement is conveyed to an arm 31, secured to the same shaft as the finger 29, and in the movement removes a pin 38 on it out of a recess in a lever 35, to which it acts as a detent. Thereupon, a spring 37 rotates the lever to the right, the end of which bears upon the pin 38 and moves the arm 31 upwards. In the upward movement of the arm 31, its cam-surface 32 bears upon the projecting end of the shaft 18 and moves it towards the left, thereby separating the clutch members 14, 16. In the last part of the movement, two flanges 34 on the cam-end engage opposite sides of the squared end 33 of the shaft 18, and so the shaft is stopped positively. The hollow frame A may be filled with hot water or steam so that heat may be transmitted along the shafts to the thread mass. A special 'heating-device comprises a flexible tube 44 bedded in a block 41, which occupies a recess in the boss of the clutch member 16. Being adjacent to the threadmass, heat is readily transmitted from the pipe to the thread.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Making Nuts
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
IPC: B21K1/68
Filed: 1909-02-05
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 2848. Imray, O., [Neely, T.]. Feb. 5. Forging nuts and washers; dies and punches.- In the manufacture of nuts, washers, &c., a blank of smaller transverse dimension than the required article is severed from a bar or rod, brought to the dimensions of the required article by punching, and then shaped to size. The bar a is fed transversely to the machine, and, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, is of smaller transverse dimension than that required for the finished article. When in position, the jaws 1, 2 are operated by cams and yokes, and, by means of the edges b, c thereon, the blank is shaped and nearly severed, whereupon a punch 12 is operated by a cam 27 to punch and swell the blank, and a plunger 14 carried by a guide is at the same time operated to press and shape the blank. These tools are retracted by cams operating stops on the yokes carrying the tools. The jaws are then retracted and the bar a moved along to a stop 16 so that a plunger 18 advancing presses the blank into the hole 15 and holds it against the advance of a plunger 20 which finishes the hole, and then a plunger 19 is advanced and presses the blank and then moves with the plunger 18 as it is retracted, but more slowly, to press the blank out of the hole. The plunger is tapped by a cam-operated tapper 43 to release the nut and a support 17 is moved up to support the work by a cam on the shaft 10. An adjustable screw 41 bearing against a yoke 37 relieves the shaft 35 from overstrain when pressing occurs. In a modification, Fig. 21, a nut of square section is being made, and the matrix 13<a> has a box 13<b> in it, into which the blank is first forced and nearly severed from the bar f, the plunger 18<a> forming one side of the box 13<b>, and then the blank is moved along and pushed by the plunger 18<a >into the hole 15<a> of the proper dimensions. The motion of the plungers 14<a>, 18<a>, Fig. 22, are so adjusted that the nearly severed blank is completely severed before the plunger 14<a> comes into operation.

The patterns on the rollers are in relief, or one pattern may be in intaglio, and the character of the design produced on each side of the material is similar to that of the roller on that side. The bowls and rollers are usually pressed together by one set of weights or springs; but the bowls may be mounted on relatively-fixed but adjustable axes, and separate springs are then used for the rollers. The bowls preferably are longer than the rollers. Two lengths of material may be embossed simultaneously by a set of four bowls and three rollers all arranged with their axes in the same vertical plane, or by three bowls and three rollers, the middle bowl being fitted with a roller at its side.
