Abstract: 19,265. Melzer, K. Aug. 28, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Ring frames.-To equalize the tension of the yarn during winding-on, a cylindrical shell 3 is fixed to the wharl 6, and the ring rail 9 is given a small vertical reciprocating movement by a cam-actuated lever, so that the yarn passes to the spindle in contact with the edge of the shell, and is assisted thereby when winding on the small diameter, but is raised clear thereof when winding on the large diameter. The spindle 1 is coupled to rotate with the wharl 6 by a tongue 7 engaging a groove 10 in the wharl sleeve, and is reciprocated through the sleeve by the usual lifter mechanism to build the cop.

Title: Improvements in Adding Machines
Inventor: GIERSING OVE MALLING
Filed: 1907-03-16
Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 6425. Giersing, O. M. March 16. Typewriters.-In a single-bank key-set leveroperated printing adding machine, certain of the improvements relate to (1) the differential setting-machanism for the item-wheels; (2) the selection of the denomi. nations ; (3) the printing of the items ; and (4) the correction of errors. (1) The machine, which is shown in plan view. in Fig. 1 and in sectional elevation in Fig. 2, has lever keys of uniform stroke pivoted on a common spindle b and provided with projecting screws f of varying lengtb and position, which swing the yoke plate g through different angles and by link-work move downwards the yoke n through a corresponding arc and thereby rotate the particular item-wheel q, with the hook r of which the actuating pawl p happens to be engaged, through a corresponding angle upon the common spindle 55. Each. item - wheel bears three segments of visible numerals, numeral types, and teeths for actuating the e totalizing - counter pinions over a third of its circumference. (2) The totalizing-counter x and the platen roller 25 with the paper roll u and other guide-rolls are all mounted upon a carriage 83 adapted to move laterally across the machine but normally standing at the extreme left as shown in Fig. 1, so that none of the counter pinions are opposite the item-wheels. By means of a simple ratchet escapement, the yoke plate g allows the screwed spindle 5 to rotate step by step under the action of a spring as each key is depressed, thereby carrying the nut 62 and actuating-pawl p across the machine from left to right and with it the carriage, against which the nut presses. When an item has been set, there are thus printing and totalizing parts opposite all the item-wheels that have been operated. (3) To print and register, the handle 109 is swung forwards and the pin 110 co-operates with the cam 111 to rock the printing-frame about the spindle 91 of the carriage and.make the impression, but upon the escape of the cam the printing-frame flies back and its lower end through link-work 18 rocks the totalizing-counter about the spindle 21 into gear with the item-wheels. (4) To remove a wrong setting, the carriage is moved to the extreme left and the machine operated, whereby all the item-wheels are reset. In modifications, the carriage and.actuating- pawl may be separate or combined as regards lateral motion.

Title: Improvements in Ratchet Mechanism.
Inventor: HACKNEY ISAAC MARION
Filed: 1907-08-06
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 17,866. Hackney, I. M. Aug. 6. Forging.-In variable-throw ratchet gearing applicable generally, but shown applied to a cold tyre-setting machine, the ratchet-wheel 1 is secured to a shaft 2 carrying eccentrics which, by. means of links &c., move the movable bead (not shown) towards or away from the stationary head 4 in which the shaft 2 is journaled. The actuating- lever 8, pivoted to radius links 7, straddles the ratchet-wheel and carries the pawl. The pawl consists of a pair of weighted dogs 9 connected by a pin 10 which engages the semicircular recesses 5 in the periphery of the wheel. The dogs 9 are pivoted at 13 to the actuating-lever 8 and constrain the movement of the lever by engagament of the pivot pins 13 with an annular recess or shoulder 6 formed round the wheel. The pawl may take either of the positions indicated respectively in full or broken lines, according to the direction in which the wheel is to be driven. A pivoted plate 11 on the lever 8, unless turned back, prevents the dogs from falling. The radius links 7 pivoted at 14 to the base 3 are connected by a pin 21 at the lower end and a pivoted latch-plate 18 at the upper end. Pins in said links engage holes in the actuating- lever. Two or more series of holes 16, 17 may be provided in the actuating-lever to permit of varying the throw of the pawl and so varying the rate of rotation of the ratchet-wheel.

Title: Improvements relating to Variable-speed Gearing
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE
Filed: 1908-03-02
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 4723. Harrison, G., [Cincinnati Milling Machine Co.]. March 2. Milling.-A clutch for transmitting power to changespeed toothed gearing is arranged in combination with a friction clutch which allows slip to facilitate speed - changing operations. The auxiliary clutch is alternatively engaged with the driving-clutch which may be of the positive or of the friction type. The driving pulley 13 of, for instance, a milling-machine rotates loosely upon the driving- shaft 2 of the change-speed gear, one form of which is described. A ring 14 secured to the pulley 13 has an inwardly-projecting portion adapted to be gripped by clamp-arms 18 to form the driving- clutch. The arms 18 are pivoted upon a frame 16 secured to the shaft 2, and are operated by a cone &c. 21 traversed longitudinally by a rod 23 sliding inside the shaft 2. The cone 21 supports externally a sleeve 25 rotatively connected to the shaft 2 through a collar 19 and slid longitudinally also by the rod 23. The sleeve 25 carried a ring 27 overlapping and adapted to engage an outwardly-projecting portion of the ring 14, so forming the auxiliary clutch. When the rod 23 is moved to the left, the driving - clutch is disengaged and the auxiliary clutch is engaged with sufficient pressure to rotate the change gear - wheels to facilitate changing speed. The rod 23 is preferably actuated by a pedal-lever to leave the operator's hands free for the speed-changing levers.

Abstract: 10,981. Martin, A. A., and Major, G. May 21. Gas and like engines.- Engines of the type in which the crank-shaft is arranged between one or more pairs of cylinders situated at different levels and each having a pair of pistons moving in opposite directions therein, are provided with special driving- gear for transmitting the motions of the pistons to the cranks, and also with a special valve-gear whereby pairs of similar valves controlling different cylinders are operated simultaneously. In the engine shown in Fig. 1, a pair of cylinders A, B are arranged on opposite sides of the crank-shaft. Each cylinder is provided with a pair of pistons coupled to sliding cross-heads f, and the latter are connected to cranks c<1>, c<2> of opposite throw on the crank-shaft. One of the connecting-rods has a forked end, and engages two cranks situate at either side of the crank engaged by the other rod. Inlet valves m, m<1> are arranged centrally at one side of each cylinder, and exhaust valves are arranged and operated similarly on the opposite side. A n igniter s is arranged centrally on the top of each cylinder, and the plugs in the various cylinders are connected in series by providing one or more of them with two insulated terminals. The two inlet and exhaust pipes may run into common conduits. The valves m, m<1> are operated simultaneously by means of a cranked vertical bar n which engages the valve stems. The central portion of the bar is enlarged to pass around the crank-shaft, and is reciprocated in the direction of the axis of the latter by means of cams, which are fixed to the inner surfaces of spur-wheels on the axle and engage rollers on lateral arms on the bar. Figs. 4 and 5 show a half-compressiun device which is used at starting to vary the cam-surface, so that the exhaust valves are opened for a short period during the compression stroke. A handle t operates a rock-shaft provided with a pair of fingers t<1>, which engage spring- controlled members o<2> and force them through slots in the cams o, thereby forming additional projections on the cams for the purpose specified.
