Abstract: 15,639. Archdale & Co., J., and Coxon, F. July 4. Turning; milling. - In lathes, milling-machines, grinding-machines, and the like, means are provided to prevent the operator from bringing the tool and the work into contact violently, said means being operated automatically by the moving work or tool slide. The feed shaft d, Fig. 1, of a milling-machine, has a hand-wheel k mounted on it for hand feeding and carries also a worm-wheel c adapted to be engaged by a worm b on a shaft a pivoted at one end to the machine saddle and supported at the other end by means of a spring pin on one arm of a bell-crank ]ever f. The other arm of the lever is adapted to be actuated at a predetermined time by an adjustable stop h pivoted to the slide e, which at first causes the spring pin to be compressed, a stop m on the worm box engaging a shoulder on the slide to prevent the worm from being lifted. After the shoulder has cleared the stop and while the stop h is still in contact with the lever f, the spring pin lifts the worm into contact with the worm-wheel where it is retained by a spring rod n carrying a collar o which fills a recess in the stop m. Disengagement occurs when the stop q engages a projection r on the rod and withdraws the collar from the recess. In a modification, Figs. 5 and 6, a lathe saddle g carries a bell-crank lever f adapted to be actuated in one direction by a co-axial lever s through a pin f<1>. One arm of this bell-crank lever engages a spring pin j while the other is hooked to engage an arm i<1> fixed to a clutch-actuating lever i, so that when the lever s is actuated by the stop h on the slide the spring pin is pressed inwards but does not effect engagement until the arm i<1> is liberated by the other arm of the bell crank. In a further modification, Figs. 8 and 13, the worm box i forms one arm of a bellcrank lever v, the other arm of which rests against one arm of another bell-crank lever f, the other arm of which carries a spring pin j, adapted to be actuated by a pivoted stop h, the spring being compressed until a plug z passes off the shoulder m, when the spring raises the worm box. A lever w coaxial with the bell-crank v is engaged by a drop lever x to maintain engagement, and at the end of the feed the stop q engages an arm 3 of the lever x and raises it, whereupon the worm box drops.

Inventor: REES WARREN CHALMERS
IPC: A47K13/22
Filed: 1914-04-07
Granted: 1915-03-25
Abstract: 8808. Rees, W. C. April 7. Closet seats; seatguards.-Consists in the provision of (a) a seat made in lateral halves, (b) housings for normally enclosing each part of the seat, and (c) mechanism for withdrawing them and covering them with a fresh portion of paper guard drawn from a roll. The apparatus is set in motion, after having been freed by pressure on a button 76. by means of a footboard 8. This turns a lever 16 about a pivot 10 and also, through a pin-andslot connexion 25, 26, a lever 20 about a pivot 21. Rods 19, 24 connect the levers 16, 20 with the seat 5, Fig. 3, which has a slot 6 for the reception of a pivot pin 7. When the lever 20 turns, therefore, the seat moves vertically upwards until the pin 7 reaches the end of the slot, whereupon the seat is turned into the horizontal. At the top of the casing 2 are doors 34, 35. A sprocketwheel 65 is fast on the hinge pin of the door 35, and a belt 69 connects an arm 29 on the lever 20 with a chain 66 passing over the wheel and fastened to a spring 67. Thus the door 35 is opened simultaneously with the raising of the seat. The door 34 has a spring hinge and is depressed by the falling of the seat into the horizontal. During the advance of the seat 5 the take-up spool 44 for the paper guard on the axle 49 is prevented from rotating by a pawl 57 and ratchet-wheel 58 and fresh paper is drawn from the roll 40, Fig. 3. When the user rises, the spring 27 reverses the action of the treadle on the levers 16, 20 and various springs act to withdraw the seat sections and close the doors 34, 35. The slack in the guard is taken up by the spool 44 which is operated by a belt 46, Fig. 4, one end of which is connected to the descending end of the lever 16 and which is pulled by a spring 53 acting on a pulley 52. The mechanism on one side of the closet is a duplicate of that on the other. One seat section and the corresponding mechanism may be used alone.

Abstract: 10,494. Norton, C. H. April 28. Disk apparatus. - Rolls for use in rolling- mills, milling or grinding or crushing machinery, or in printing or paper-making machines, are ground to true cylindrical form by means of a grinding-wheel L, carried by a slide D and adapted to be traversed along the roll and to be moved towards or away from the roll. During the grinding operation, the roll R is supported and rotated on a support or bearing forming the arc of a true cylindrical surface, and the periphery of the roll is ground until it coincides with the cylindrical supporting - surface; in the case of a roll having parts of different diameters, when parts of one diameter have been trued up, the roll is rotated and supported on these parts while the other parts are being ground. The bearings or supports each comprise a head E, mounted on the machine-bed B and having two series of radial slots in which fit a corresponding series of adjustable supports F having inclined under surfaces 20. The supports are adapted to be adjusted radially by means of wedges 21, engaging the inclined surfaces of the supports and moved together or apart by compound screws 23. The supports are adjusted so that their bearing - faces form an are of a true cylindrical surface having a diameter equal to that to which the roll is to be ground; their correct position is determined by means of a radius gauge. This gauge comprises a member 25 slidably mounted on the bed B and having a head 36 rotatably mounted on its upper end; a split yoke 39 is pivotally mounted in the head 36 and carries a slidable arm 40, the length of which is set to give the correct position of the supports F. The member 25 may be locked to the bed by means of a rotatable cam-piece 28, and the head 36 may be set in two diametrically opposite positions by means of a plunger 33. The grinding-wheel is arranged to operate on the horizontal diameter of the roll, and in order to oppose the thrust of the grinding-wheel, the rear set of supports F is set higher than the front set. The roll is adapted to be rotated by means of an electric motor I driving a shaft through variable-speed gearing, the shaft being coupled to the end u of the roll by means of a universal coupling.
