Granted: 1897-05-08
Abstract: 8783. Gordon, A. April 6. Gearing, driving; feed-motions; toolholders.-Reciprocating metal-cutting machines such as planing, slotting, and shaping machines are provided with a compressed-air engine, controlled by the motions of the machine, for reversing the machine, giving the feed, and moving the tool clear of the work during the idle stroke. Fig. 1 shows a side view of a planing-machine with an air cylinder 20, the piston-rod 22 of which is connected by the link 19 to a shaft 17 which operates the clutch for connecting the slow-speed and fast-speed pulleys to the driving-shaft situated at the other side of the machine. The piston-rod 22 is also secured to a rack 24 for putting on the feed through the segment 23, link 11, and rack 9. The valve 25 of the cylinder 20 is actuated by the dogs 7, 8 on the table 2 acting on the tumbler 5 which is connected by the link 28 to a lever 27 pivoted to a block on the piston-rod 22 and operating the valve through links 29, 26. The machine can be brought to rest by means of the handle 6. For tilting the tool-box 35, a pin 42 on the lever 27 acts on a three-way cock 38 admitting air through pipes 39, 41 behind the piston 37 of a cylinder 36. On the reversal for cutting, the three-way cock puts the pipe 41 in communication with the exhaust 40.

Granted: 1897-10-16
Abstract: 12,879. Barker, G., [Hasenkamp, A.]. May 25. Window fastenings. -Relates to means for opening and closing hinged fanlights in the upper part of window frames, and for securing them in any position. A cord v passes from the upper part of the fanlighton one side, and runs over pulleys m<1>, m' as shown in Fig. 1, and over a roller m, Fig. 3, on a central sliding plate p. From this roller it passes over a second pulley on the same spindle as the pulley m<2>, and thence between discs n, n, Fig. 3, over pulleys m<4>, m<5> to the other side of the fanlight. Thus, by sliding the plate p to one side or the other, the window is opened or closed. A pin f, Fig. 3, passing through the discs n, carries a wedge piece k. On turning the pin by a key w the wedge k is caused to force the cord v against the casing r, thus holding it in any position. An overhanging lip h on the casing prevents the removal of the key except when the window cord is secured.
