Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 9379. Austin, H. April 18. Turning.-The cross-slides of turret lathes are rack-operated from pinions upon vertical spindles and are adapted to be set at different angles with respect to the saddle; the inward movment of the slides may be obtained from the traversing movement of the saddle, such inward movement being controlled automatically by the rotation of the turret. The crossslides B, Fig. 5, are mounted upon plates C capable of rotary adjustment about the axis of the vertical spindles D, which may be rotated from shafts E or by the movement of racks F in the form of worms which may be moved for adjustment by screwing in and out. Theracks F normally pass into openings g, Fig. 4, in the turret-saddle but gates h' may be moved by pins k upon the turret H acting upon spring plungers k<3>; the racks F are then obstructed in their forward movement and cause an automatic movement of the cross-slides.

Abstract: 15,845. Walker, W. G. July 8. Impeller blades; regulating.-In rotary-absorption dynamometers of the centrifugal-fan type, adapted to work in air, provision is made for regulating the volume of air acted upon by the dynamometer. Fig. 1 shows a form in which the driving-shaft a is provided with a disk c carrying peripheral blades b. These blades draw in air through a central aperture and force it out radially, the extent to which the incoming air obtains free access to the blades being determined by the axial adjustment of a central disk f, which is effected by moving the tube g in or out through the agency of a hand-wheel j and screw h, a measure of the power absorbed being furnished by the disk positionindicator n, o. In alternative forms a cylindrical shield may be similarly adjusted over the outside or inside edges of the blades, and in the form shown in Fig. 4 the blades are composed of two overlapping portions u, u<1> carried by oppositely-arranged disks t, w, which may be caused to approach or recede from one another in order to alter the effective length of the blades.

When the weft is substantially exhausted, the feeler is lowered so that, when the lay moves forwards, a rib 8<1> on the mouth of the shuttle box strikes a stud 33 on the lever 27, whereby the plate 29 is caused to make a quarter-turn so as to engage the weft end from the bobbin to be ejected, and is then moved forwards so as to carry the thread between cutting - blades 22, 25 and clamping-jaws 17, 16b on a spring-controlled arm or lever 16 pivoted on a stud 14 adjustable in a slot 13<3> of a fixed arm 13. These blades and jaws are opened by the stud 33 striking a projection 17' on the spring-controlled pivoted upper clamping-jaw 17, which is provided with a pin 21 fitting in a slot in the upper pivoted cutting-jaw 22. The lower cutting-jaw 25 is fixed to the arm 16, and the lower clamping-jaw 16<b> is formed on this arm. A spiral spring acts on a stud 23 and causes the upper cutting-jaw to be pressed against the lower cutting-jaw. As the lay continues to move forwards, the stud 33 moves upwards on the inclined edge of the rib 8<1> and is disengaged from the projection 17<1>, the jaw 17 being thus freed, so that it is then moved downwards under spring action, the thread being cut by the knives 22, 25 and clamped by the jaws 17, 16<b>. The arm 16 is provided with an adjustable stop-screw.

Abstract: 25,550. Campbell, F. W., and Leighton, J. M. Nov. 16. [Addition to 6501/11.] Piles.-Consists in the provision of visible and audible signals to indicate the failure of the concrete to flow out of the preparatory pile, or the failing of the rate of discharge below a predetermined limit. In one form, a line d<1> attached to the float d operates a ratchet-wheel f<1> in such a manner that when the concrete is not flowing, the wheel f<1> turns in a clockwise direction and through the medium of a pawl f<2> moves a striker h into the position shown in dotted lines. Further movements cause a bell i to be struck. The teeth of the ratchet-wheel f<1> may be so made that no signal is given for a momentary lift of the concrete. A counterweight attached to the free end of the line d' serves as a simple form of visible indicator, or the free end may be attached to a recording- apparatus g as described in the parent Specification. Fig. 3 shows how the striker h may be used to make and break an electric circuit for operating bells, lamps, &c., a contact-piece k connecting the wires m, m<1>. A governor may be operated from a pulley over which the line d<1> passes, and an electric contact may be made as the speed of the governor passes below a certain limit.

Valves closing with rush of fluid; actuating -A combined stop and isolating or emergency steam valve of the kind operable manually at the valve or from a distance, and automatically in the event of breakage of the steam-pipe. comprises a piston h in a cylinder 9 above the valve 1, a screw 5 for closing down by hand, and a duplex control cock 14 operated from any suitable position by a handle p acting through a cord r guided over pulleys s. The control cock consists of a straight-through closure for connecting the space above the piston h with the boiler e through the passage f, g, and a three-way closure for placing the space under the piston h in communication with the steampipe z beyond the stop valve, when this valve is to remain open, or in communication with the exhaust, condenser or atmosphere when the valve is to be closed by the pressure above the piston h. The rod 6 below the piston is made preferably of larger diameter than the rod 6<1> which extends outside the casing. When the valve is open, the collar 7 seats on the bush 7<1> and prevents leakage of steam upwards along the rod 6. When the steam pipe breaks the reduction of pressure is transmitted to the space below the piston h whereupon the pressure above closes down the valve 1 automatically.

Abstract: 28,508. White, J. W. Dec. 10. Endless-belt conveyers with travelling supporting-cables; tensioning ropes; troughing- rollers for belts. - Relates to belt conveyers of the kind described in Specification 28,286/07, in which the belt is supported by travelling cables which take the driving-strain, and comprises means for tensioning the cables and for supporting the belt. In the arrangement shown in plan in Fig. 3, the belt a passes over a terminal drum formed in sections e separated by double sheaves f round which the supporting- cables b, c are wound. Each cable is passed in a bight around a tensioning-pulley g. The two outer cables b are tensioned by connecting the pulleys g by a cable n passing round a pulley o connected to a suspended weight i. The two inner pulleys g are connected by a cable j passing round a pulley k, to the frame of which the central pulley g is connected directly by a link l. The inner cables c are tensioned by a screw h and cord m connected to the pulley k. The lower run of the belt may be supported by deflecting the lower run of some of the cables b, c beneath the belt. In the arrangement shown, this is effected by passing the lower run of the two inner cables c around pulleys p adjacent to the drum. The cables are then deflected downwardly by pulleys q and brought beneath the belt by pulleys r. The tensioning of these cables may be effected from the pulleys q, or in the part of the lower run that is beneath the belt, Fig. 5. In a modification, Fig. 5, the tensioning of the cables is effected by passing them over double supporting-pulleys u at some point in the run, and over fixed and movable pulleys v, w beneath. The blocks around which the outer cables b pass are adjusted by screws, and the blocks around which the inner cables pass are adjusted by a pulley x. Fig. 7 shows an arrangement for troughing the belt a in which the cables b, c are maintained in an horizontal plane by pulleys 4 interposed between the rollers 3. The lower run has the parts 8 of the outer cables b deflected beneath the belt for supporting the same.
