Title: Improvements in Hand Tools for Inserting or Withdrawing Tubular Screwed Ferrules from Tube Plates and the like.
Inventor: JENKINS EDWARD COTTRELL
IPC: B25B13/48
Filed: 1910-04-15
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 9185. Jenkins, E. C., and Jenkins, J. April 15. Screwed ferrules, inserting and extracting.- A tool for extracting externally - threaded ferrules from tube-plates comprises a shank A with an enlargement B recessed to receive a projecting cross-bar D removably retained therein by a pin D', and a rotatable socket slidable thereon and shaped as shown with a nut F, enlarged milled disk F<1>, and, at the bottom, with an internally screw-threaded part adapted to screw over the projecting end of the ferrule C. When the cross-bar D is engaged in the groove in the ferrule and the socket screwed down as shown, the ferrule may be readily un screwed without fear of its being damaged or of the tool slipping off. In a modification shown in Fig. 6, for screwing ferrules into position, the socket J is plain and its enlarged lower part extends only as far as the enlargement B of the shank, thus preventing its slotted part from bursting open under excessive pressure. The socket is retained in position on the shank by a set-screw K, and the cross-bar D may have a projection to enter the ferrule and centre itself thereon.

Granted: 1911-11-20
Abstract: 24,161. Griffin, H. C., and Ware, E. Oct. 18. Variable-speed gearing; clutches. - Variablespeed gearing of the kind that is operated by a centrally-disposed longitudinally-movable double cone member is modified so that the speeds are brought in gradually, as they would be by a friction clutch, while the advantage of the positive-locking action of a claw clutch is retained. The bosses of the gear wheels such as e, Fig. 3, are formed internally with a slight eccentricity corresponding to the shape of dogs d, which are thrust out by the cone member f so as to grip the gears at first in such a manner as to allow slip, and finally positively. In a two-speed gear suitable for motor-cycles shown in Fig. 1, a driving-shaft b is adapted to be clutched, for the high speed, to a gear e, which is rigidly connected through a sleeve e<2> to a beltpulley c. For the low speed, a gear e' is clutched to the shaft b, and the gear e is driven through a countershaft n. Pairs of dogs d, d' are adapted to be thrust out to engage eccentric bores m, m<1> in the gears e, e<1>, respectively, by the double member f, which is normally kept thrust to the right by a spring j. The member f is thrust to the left by a ball f<1> and spring plunger h<2> when a slotted cap i is turned by means of a pedal k or Bowden wire i<4>, Fig. 2. Means k<1> is provided for locking the cap i in the low-speed position. When the member f is in its middle position, the engine may be started by means of a toothed pinion o, Fig. 1, connected to the end of the shaft b by ratchet teeth o<1>, and kept pressed to the left by a spring j'. The pinion o is driven backwards and forwards by a toothed wheel or sector p, Fig. 2, worked by a lever p<1>. In a three-speed arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the gear e<1> is formed with two rings of teeth q, q<1>, which mesh with gears r, n<2>. The gears r, n<2> may be rotatively connected alternatively to the gear n', which drives the gear e, the shaft n being longitudinally slidable for this purpose. Chain gearing may be used instead of spur gearing in the two-speed and three-speed gears.

Abstract: 19,923. Testrup, N., and Rigby, T. Sept. 7. Gases, withdrawing from one zone and returning to another.-An electric smelting-crucible i is surmounted by a charging-shaft b, from which gases to be admitted to the crucible near the roof, are withdrawn through outlets d, situated at such a level that these gases are free from harmful components such as moisture, which are given off in the upper part of the shaft and pass off by an outlet k at the top. In the form shown, the gases are drawn from the outlets d through a dust-separator f<1> by a fan g, and enter the crucible by tuyeres i<1>, from an annular duct. Preheating of the charge may be assisted by admitting air at one or more levels above the intermediate outlets d, the upper part of the shaft being contracted; the top outlet k is then provided with an exhaust fan to prevent excessive pressure. If limestone is fed into the shaft instead of lime, it is burnt before reaching the intermediate outlets d, to avoid admitting to the crucible an excess of carbon dioxide, which absorbs heat in being converted into monoxide. The Provisional Specification refers to smelting iron.
