Title: Improvements in connection with Machines for Making Nails and the like or for similar purposes.
Inventor: CHARLES ALFRED
IPC: B21G3/32
Filed: 1909-04-02
Granted: 1910-05-02
Abstract: 7861. Charles, A. April 2. Forging nails; dies.-Machines of the kind described in Specification 2641/04, for making headed nails &c. from wire have special arrangement of wire-feeding mechanism, cutting, pointing, and heading dies, and press-actuating mechanism. The feed-slide 3, Figs. 6 and 11, carries a slide 2 with reciprocating-gripper 9. Connexion between the slides is made by the tail of the gripper engaging in a slot in the slide 3, the lost motion serving to close and release the gripper. The amount of feed is limited by a screw stop 13. The wire is sup. ported by guides 27 which yield to admit the feed slide. The initial position of the slide is fixed by a spring dog 10 engaging a notch in the slide, and such engagement is necessary to enable the gripper to engage, thus preventing defective feed. At! the end of the stroke, the slide engages a hook 15, which operates a multiplying-lever 16 to accelerate the feed block over the slide and release the grip. Elongation of the wire during cutting and pointing is taken up at the straightening-rolls, which are mounted on a spring-controlled slide. The cutting &c. dies F, Fig. 25, act in succession, beginning from the end farthest from the feed, and are operated by levers 30, 31 controlled by cams on the ram carrying the heading-plungers. The heading- dies G are closed on the wire with a light pressure during feed, a heavy pressure during the cutting- off and the rotation of dies about their axes into the heading position, and with a moderate pressure during the heading. This action is obtained by double cam-pieces 52, 54, Fig. 29, on the heading- ram. The levers actuating the cutting-off dies provide the main pressure during heading, and five of them are for this purpose depressed by a cam on the heading ram near the termination of its stroke, and engage studs 57 which transmit the pressure to the dies. The lower cutting-dies are at this time depressed to avoid contact with the upper cutting-dies, which descend idly. To prevent actuation of the cutting-dies on the return stroke of the ram, the corresponding cam-pieces are lowered to an inoperative position. The dies G are secured in their holders by set-screws engagirg grooves 45, Fig. 22, and are given a greater turn by arms 35 slotted to engage pins on a reciprocating bar. The dies are provided with ejacting-horns 64 carried by a slide plate 61 secured to the dies by guides and by pins and slots 67, 68. Angular bending.-The application of the invention to staple-making :machines is described, the heading-plungers being replac d by bending- punches.

Inventor: BOLITHO THOMAS HENRY
IPC: B66D1/02
Filed: 1909-04-21
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 9470. Bolitho, T. H. April 21. Turning-gear.-Means are provided for disengaging. and locking the handle or driving- shaft when there is a tendency for the driven shaft to rotate in the reverse direction. As applied to a winch, the driving-pinion b carries a clutch member o and is loose on the first motion shaft. The other clutch member f is slidably keyed to the shaft, and is operated by one arm of a bell-crank lever h, the other arm of which carries one or more pivoted pawls l engaging a ratchet-wheel m fast on the shaft. When there is a tendency to rotate in the reverse direction, the ratchet-wheel forces back the pawls and simultaneously declutches the pinion. The pawls are, however, retained in engagement with the ratchet-wheel by the bellcrank lever abutting against a bolster q. The fall of a weighted lever n locks the bell-crank when the declutching takes place, and also allows a second lever v, having a detent, to fall and engage a ratchet-wheel u to prevent the shaft from rotating in a forward direction.

Abstract: 21,748. Strelzoff, I. J. Sept. 23. Driving - arrangements for paddle - wheels and screw propellers; steering- gear.-The paddle shaft, screw-propeller shaft, or steering-shaft is provided with two clutches each comprising one member keyed to, and one member loosely mounted on, the shaft, the two loose members being rotated by the engines in opposite directions. The position of the clutches determines the direction of rotation of the shaft. Figs. 5 and 6 show the application to a paddle shaft. Loose wheels A, B rotating in opposite directions are mounted on the paddle shaft 3, and are fitted with clutch rings 1, 2 engaged by the members 10, 11 by the operation of the lever 14, which slides the sleeve 6, 7. The driving-shaft 16 of an internal-combustion engine carries a wheel D meshing with the wheel A, and a wheel C in gear with the wheel B. These wheels C, D may be clutched to the shaft 16 in a manner similar to that of the wheels A, B to the shaft 3. The lever 14 is operated by the crank 62 on a shaft 37, upon which is loosely mounted a wormwheel 36 in gear with a worm 38 on the shaft 16. The rotation of the shaft 37 is effected by the movement of the clutch-actuating lever L engaging the clutch member 41 with the clutch member N. The eccentric 70 is rotated and the rod 71 rocks the shaft 32 by links fitted at the points 72. This movement of the shaft 32 effects engagement of one of the clutches E, F, thus rotating one of the wheels A, B. The lever J is moved to clutch either of the wheels A, B to the shaft 3, both levers being returned to their original position when the desired engagement has been made. The lever L is normally operated for stopping or starting, and the lever J only for reversing purposes. Similar arrangements of clutch devices are used for operating the steering-shaft, and also for propeller shafts. In the application to steering purposes, the steering-shaft is provided with a pair of loose clutch members formed as bevel-wheels, driven in opposite directions. A common operating-lever effects a driving engagement between either of the fast members and its corresponding loose member. In the application to screw-propeller shafts, each shaft is provided with one or more pairs of clutches, each pair being driven by a separate engine shaft. An auxiliary starting-engine is used, and is operated by hand.

Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 409. Hennig, E. A. P. Jan. 24, 1910, [Convention date]. Stringed instruments.-A mechanically-operated stringed instrument played by means of a bow, is provided with less than the usual number of strings in order to reduce the tension on the sound-board. Stopping-devices are provided so that several notes may be sounded by each string. The instrument is either operated by a keyboard or automatically controlled by means of a tune-sheet. In the instrument shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the string 16 can produce three notes by the operation of the keys 1, 2, 3, respectively. The operation of the key 1 causes the bell-crank lever 5 to rotate on its pivot 4 and press the bow 20 against the string 16. The bell-crank lever 5 may carry a roller for operating the bow. When the key 2 is depressed, the lever 5 is similarly operated through its extension 8, and a lever 6 is also rotated about its pivot 41. The lever 6 is connected to a stopping-device 26 by a link 11, and so causes it to rotate against the action of a spring and to press the string against the plate 23, which may be provided with frets. The stopping- device 27 and bow 20 are similarly operated by the key 3. In instruments in which the strings are moved towards the bow, sectorshaped stopping - devices are provided which move in the opposite direction to the strings. The strings in the treble may be tuned to smaller intervals than the strings in the bass. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) refers to the use of elastic levers or connexions, so that the bow can be brought into operation after the movements of the stopping-lever have been completed, and also to the provision of dampers for the strings. Lateral extensions may be provided on the levers 6 instead of upon the lever 5. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
