Title: Improvements in Changeable Speed and Reversing Gears.
Inventor: DICKS THOMAS ANDREW
Filed: 1902-02-11
Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 3510. Dicks, T. A. Feb. 11. Lathes; screwing. -Relates to variable-speed and reversing gearing intended more particularly for use on a lathe, or a screwing or other machine, separately driven by an electromotor, or a gas or other engine. Figs. 1 and 2 show the gear applied to an electricallydriven lathe in which B denotes the motor, and C, C' the gear casing. Fig. 4 shows the gear in section. The drum E, which runs free on the boss of the end C, and on the flange e' of the end C<1>, of the casing is formed with an internal wheel h, and the spindle D, which is coupled to the spindle b of the motor carries a stepped wheel F. Separate pinions g one for each step, are mounted on a series of studs i in the end C' of the casing, and are movable endways so that any one of them may be employed to gear the stepped wheel with the internal wheel. The smallest ring of the stepped wheel is in the same plane as the internal wheel, and a single pinion is used to connect it with the internal wheel; for the other rings double pinions are used. The studs are hollow and fitted with rods having keys i<2>, which pass out through longitudinal slots in the studs into annular grooves in the pinions, and heads by which they may be moved endways to throw the corresponding pinions into and out of gear. Friction gearing may be used instead of toothed gearing. To lock the pinions in the outof-gear position, and to prevent more than one pinion from being thrown into gear at the same time, a locking-disc K is mounted on the boss of the plate C<1> ; this is formed with circular slots which engage necks on the rods ; at one point in each slot is an enlargement of the full diameter of the rod so that, when the disc is turned to bring the enlargement in one slot into line with the rod, as indicated by a pointer and scale, that rod may be moved inwards, all the others remaining locked until this rod is again drawn out with its neck in the slot. Motion may be transmitted directly from the drum, or a reversing gear may be used as shown. Bevel-wheels M, M' are loose on the drum, and one of them is formed with a spurwheel t by which motion is transmitted from the apparatus. These wheels are geared together by a pinion N, running loose on a fixed stud, and accordingly rotate in opposite directions ; either of them may be fixed to the drum E by a friction clutch according to the direction of motion required. The friction clutch consists of a ring P mounted on. feathers on the drum and movable axially by means of a rock-shaft and levers ; the ring has on each side wedge - shaped wings which engage between the ends of friction segments o, o' and according as the ring is moved to one side or the other, one or the other set of friction segments is expanded in the bevel-wheels.

Abstract: 19,724. Peter, J. Sept. 9. Sifting flour &c.- Relates to machines having several sieves arranged above each other, and usually known as plansifters. In Fig. 1, 5, 5 represent the sifters supported on a frame 6 driven by a crank-pin 4 from a shaft 2 having a flywheel 3. The sieves are provided with brushing - apparatus actuated from shafts 20 supported in bearings on the covers of the sifters and driven by bevel gearing from shafts 15, which are actuated by belts 17 and speed cones from a shaft 10 mounted in bearings on the frame 6 and actuated by the arrangement of bevel gearing shown from the crank-pin 4. Each sieve, except the top one which is a plain sieve, contains its own brushing-apparatus and means for actuating the same, so that any one can be removed and replaced without interfering with the brushing-apparatus of the other sieves. The brushing-apparatus of each sieve acts upon the under surface of the sieve immediately above it. Brushing-apparatus of similar construction is placed in the bottom of the sifter casing to clean the lowest sieve. 22 represents the sieve frame. Two strips 25 are secured across it. The silk 23 is secured to the lower edges of the strips 25, and trays 24, to catch the flour or other material passing through the sieve above it, are secured to the upper edges of the strips 25. The outlets for the sifted material are arranged between the strips 25. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of the brushes. A bearing-block 33 is secured between the strips 25, and is provided with oil cups 34 to lubricate the shaft 28, mounted in the bearing 33. A boss 31 is screwed upon the end of the shaft 28, and carries the brushes. The top of the boss 31 is provided with a projection 32 adapted to engage a claw 29 on the bottom of the shaft 28 of the next sieve, and thus couple all the brushing-mechanism together. An arm, not shown in Fig. 3, is secured to the boss 31, and carries, loosely attached to it, a brush which, as the boss 31 rotates, cleans a circular portion of the sieve above it. The remainder of the sieve is cleaned by a brush 27 loosely attached to a tube 40 and provided with supports 52, 52 which rest on the tray 24. The tube 40 slides over a piston 43 on a rod 44 secured to the boss 31, and is provided with an elongated loop portion which encircles the boss 31. A roller 45 is mounted in the end of the tube 40. and is forced by a spring within the tube 40 into contact with a guide strip or cam 39 fixed round the periphery of the sieve. Arms 48, 49 are fixed to the boss 31, and are provided with guide-slots in which a pin on the tube 40 works to prevent rotation of the tube 40 and the brush 27 attached to it. If desired, the brushes may have bristles on the lower side as well, so as to assist in the discharge of the sifted material on the tray 24. In a modification, the frame 6 is driven by a pin fixed to it and fitting into a bearing on the flywheel 3. A spur-wheel is then secured to the bearing, so as to gear with a spur-wheel on the axis of the bevel-wheel.
