Title: Machine for Grinding the Eyelet Ends of Needles.
Inventor: ROLLMANN OSCAR
Filed: 1906-11-27
Granted: 1907-11-27
Abstract: 26,957. Rollman, O. Nov. 27. Surfacing.-In a machine for removing the burrs from needles joined together at their eyelet ends, the needles pass from a table 32, Fig. 1, over two rotary disks 33, to two adjacent worms 26, by which they are fed to grooves 36 in a disk 3, which carries them up to the first grinder 5, which removes the burrs from the side exposed. The needles are then brought by the disk 3 opposite to grooves 36 in a similar disk 2, and are inserted in these grooves with the unground portion turned outwards so as to be exposed to the second grinder 4. The two grinders are mounted on a table 6, which can be raised and lowered in guides 25 by rods 8 attached to eccentrics on the shaft 9. After the burrs have been removed, the needles are brought down to the knife 19, on which they are broken by spring- controlled levers 20, pivoted at 18 and actuated by a cam 11 through levers 12, 16, 17. The heads of the needles so separated are rounded off on a grindstone. A finger 31, reciprocated by a rod 29 attached to an eccentric on the shaft 30, advances the needles into the grooves 36 in the first disk, and a finger 42, actuated by an extension of the lever 12 acting through the rod 37, moves the needles from the first disk 3 to the second disk 2. Spring-controlled rods 68, under which the needles pass, hold the needles in position in the grooves, the latter being made narrower in the midd!e than at the sides. Fingers 55, cut away to make room for the grinder, hold the needles in position during grinding. By providing the grinders with ribs, as shown in Fig. 5, the needles are separated without the aid of the knife 19 and fingers 20. The disks 2, 3 are rotated together by ratchet and-pawl mechanism, and remain stationary during grinding. The apparatus may also be employed for grinding divided needles, and the arrangement for cutting the wire and conveying the divided needles to the disk 3 may be similar to the arrangement shown in Specification No. 11,069, A.D. 1901.

Patent GB-190629679-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Governors for Motor Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: RUTHERFORD EDWARD JAMES YOUNG
Filed: 1906-12-31
Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 29,679. Rutherford, E. J. Y. Dec. 31. Fluid governors are employed for governing or controlling the speed of motor-vehicles. An airpump driven by the engine serves to force liquid fuel from a tank to the flash steam generator. Steam from the generator is conveyed to the engine by means of the pipe 10, in which is arranged a throttle 11, which is automatically governed in accordance with the speed of the engine by the air pressure in the fuel tank. For this purpose, a pipe 39 is provided in communication with the pipe leading from the air-pump to the fuel tank, and communicates at its other extremity with a piston dash-pot 40 to connect the same with the fuel tank. The air pressure upon the piston 41 of the dash-pot 40 is counteracted by a spring 42, and the lever 43 of the throttle 11 is connected to the piston-rod of the dash-pot so that the throttle is regulated in accordance with the air pressure upon the piston 41. A plug valve 44 is provided in the pipe 39 and is adapted to be closed by a forward pressure upon a spring foot-lever 45 through the medium of a link 46, while a piston valve 47 may be operated by the same foot-lever 45 for -the purpose of opening the pressure chamber of the dash-pot. The valves 44, 47 are so arranged that by a forward pressure upon the lever 45 the piston valve 47 does not open until after the valve 44 has closed. To allow the engine to receive the full supply of steam from the generator, the lever 45 is pressed forward to such a degree that the piston valve 47 is opened, in which case the spring immediately actuates the dash-pot piston to open the throttle, whereby the governing action is discontinued until the dash-pot is again in communication with the conduit 39 through the release of the lever 45. The normal speed of the engine, when governed, may be varied by adjusting the length of the dash-pot piston-rod or the pressure of the spring 42.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Milling or Grinding Bevel Gear Wheels.
Inventor: LEGROS LUCIEN ALPHONSE
Filed: 1907-02-25
Granted: 1908-02-25
Abstract: 4630. Legros, L. A. Feb. 25. Producing curved surfaces.-Relates to toothcurve generating, bevel-wheel grinding machines. The axis of the blank 18, Fig. 5, the sextor axis 4, and the axis 51 of the grinding-wheel slide 50 intersect in a point. The blank arbor 17 is clamped in a conical seating in a spindle 16, which is bushed in a sector 11 adjustable in a sector 10 journaled at 4 and coupled at 32 by a connecting-rod of adjustable length to a variable-throw crank, driven through bevel-gearing and a clutch 45 from a belt pulley. A spring is provided to steady the motion. A steady pin 12 adjustably mounted in the sectors is brought into axial line with the shaft 4 and works in a bearing 13 adjustable on the bed. Loose on the spindle 16 is a casing 22 carrying part of the indexing train, which terminates in a worm meshing with the wheel 27 fast on the spindle 16. The blank is oscillated about its own axis during the oscillation of the sector by a segmental bevelwheel 25 gearing with a segmental crown-wheel 30, with pitch centre at the point of intersection referred to above. The main slide 50 is adjustable about an axis 51, and carries a secondary slide 53 reciprocated by a nut and screw driven from a belt pulley 59 through reversing-bevels controlled by a stop rod 65 made in two parts with a spring connexion to ensure the complete throw-over of the clutch. A bracket-shaped cross-slide is traversable, to allow for the use of wheels of different diameters, by a screw 70 provided with a graduated collar, and carries the circularly adjustable head 77. The wheel is driven from a pulley 81 through equal helical wheels 82. A spring stop on the slide 53 operatively engages a projection 144 in one direction only at one end of the traverse and rocks a shaft carrying an arm slotted to engage a pin 137 carried by an H-bar 130 suspended on rollers from the segment 11. The bar is thus moved against a spring, and a bowl 135 moves a lever 129 and presses a detent 127 from a notch in the index plate 113, Fig. 8. The index train is driven by a slipping belt on a pulley 92 through a set of spberically -adjustable change - wheels carried by sector blocks adjustable on the sector 11. The double bevel-wheel 23 drives the spur chain gearing shown in Fig. 8. While the p'ate is held by the detent, the belt slips. Preferably, two heads 77 are provided, carrying wheels dealing with opposite sides of the teeth respectively so that each wheel can be trued up on its own arbor and in its own bearings. Figs. 13 and 14 illustrate the setting of the wheel for the two sides. When it is desired to be able to grind approximately correct gears having an angle slightly greater than that of the bevel sector 25, the latter is made in two parts adjustable at 154, 155, Fig. 16, a spring 158 being provided to keep the teeth uniformly pressed against those of the crown segment 30.
