Abstract: 4010. M÷hlenbruck, H. Feb. 26, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Slide rules of the circular type for determining suitable combinations of change-wheels for cutting screws of various pitches upon a lathe. Of the two concentric discs a, b, the inner is graduated in angles upon its edge h according to the logarithms of the numbers marked thereon, which numbers represent millimetres, and has also an inner scale of concentric numbers k, preferably of a different colour and having radial lines to the edge of the disc, these numbers representing, logarithmically, inches and fractions thereof. For convenience, log 10 occupies an angle of 180‹. Upon the outer disc at p are marked, according to their logarithms, the products, taken two at a time, of the numbers of teeth on the wheels of the usual set for a screw-cutting lathe, running from 15 to 130 by fives, and containing eleven bastard wheels. The two factors of the product are marked, opposite the graduations, upon one of the three rings d, e, f and to economize space reference numbers are employed, referring to other factors and sets thereof appearing in columnar form on the inner disc at g. Relative angular motion of the two discs may be possible, or they may be fixed and two arms l, i provided. These arms are pivoted on the central spindle and are set on the scale h, one to the pitch of the leading screw and the other to the pitch of the required screw, in which position they are clamped, and moved round together until each reading edge coincides with a graduation on the scale p. The factors against these graduations give the numbers of teeth in the drivers and followers respectively of a suitable train. Straight slide rules may be similarly graduated and marked for the purpose.

Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 26,594. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Dec. 6. Steam turbines.-The ratio between the pressures in two adjacent stages of compound and multipleexpansion turbines is maintained uniform automatically by causing the variations in the higher pressure to open and close in succession the nozzle valves leading to the next stage. These valves 8 are worked by fluid relays 16 which are controlled by a distributing-valve 27, 28, moved in one direction by a spring 25 and in the other by the higher stage pressure acting upon the piston 22. The relay-valve chest 26 has an inlet 29 and exhaust outlets 30 at both ends. When the head 27 cuts off a pipe 18 from pressure, the head 28 opens the corresponding pipe 19 leading to the other end of the cylinder to pressure. The apparatus is used in addition to the throttle valve, but it may be controlled by variations in speed or load instead of pressure.

Abstract: 7214. Kr³ger, J. April 5. Planing; shearing.-A bar to be cut is placed at the required angle on rests 36, Fig. 7, on a level with shear-blades in fixed holders 4, Fig. 5. Upper blade-holders 3 are moved down by hand-geared screws 9 to grip the bar, and a carriage supporting the moving tools with their operating-mechanism is brought up by a hand and chain gear 35, 32 rotating a screw 41 till the double-acting shearing-tool 7 is close to the vertical web. The tool-slide carries in addition a number of planing-tools 8 all of the same width as the tool 7 except the top one, which is wider and is shaped as shown in end view in Fig. 9, to take a final cut and trim the ends of the divided bar. As shown in Fig. 5, the slide is operated by an eccentric 29 rotated through spur and worm gearing from a motor 22. The secondmotion shaft carries a pair of fly-wheels 24. In operation, the tool 7 rises and cuts out the top flange and then descends to cut away the bottom flange, while the tools 8 plane away the web. If an I-section is to be cut, the machine is stopped by a clutch and hand-lever 31 when the tool 7 is at the position shown in Fig. 5 on the up-stroke, and the carriage is advanced till the tool is in position to cut away the two remaining halfflanges. In the case of angle or zed bars the operation is the same, part of the stroke being idle.
