Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable Speed and Reversing Driving Gear for Autocars and other Machinery.
Inventor: ATKINS HARRY FREDERICK
Filed: 1899-11-02
Granted: 1900-09-22
Abstract: 21,956. Atkins, H. F. Nov. 2. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to variable-speed and reversing driving-gearing for autocars and other machinery, consisting in a combination of epicyclic toothed gear with either friction gear or belt gear. (1) Figs. 1 and 2 show in side elevation and in plan one form with friction gear. In this, the balance gear connecting the two parts of the divided shaft 4, 4' is driven by a pinion 9. This pinion is capable of being driven at different speeds in either direction by planet pinions 7, 7, carried by studs rigidly connected, on one side, to the externally-toothed wheel 2 and, on the other side, to the driving-shaft 3. The planet pinions also gear with an internally-toothed free wheel 8. The wheel 8 also has external teeth gearing with a wheel 11, while the wheel 2 gears with a wheel 10, the relative speeds of which can be varied by adjusting a friction jockey pulley 14 longitudinally between a pair of slightly-tapered drums 12, 13. The speed and direction of driving of the wheel 9 depends upon the position of the pulley 14. This may either be varied by band, or by an engine governor ; but, as shown in Fig. 4, means may be provided for effecting the adjustment automatically, in accordance with changes in the load. The pulley 14 runs on a sleeve 17 in the form of a nut on the fixed screwed rod 18, but is connected with the sleeve through the medium of differential gear. In this gear, the wheel 19 is revolved by a friction pulley 22 driven by the cone 12 at such a rate that, so long as no slip takes place, the nut 17 remains stationary, but, whenever slip takes p'ace, it rotates, so as to shift the pulley 14 accordingly. Means are provided for altering the speed of the pulley 22 by a hand adjustment of a cam arm 31. (2) In the form in which belt gear is employed, belt cones are substituted for the drums 12, 13. In this case there is no provision for automatic adjustment.

Patent GB-190217465-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Processes of Extracting the Inorganic and Organic Foreign Matter from Vegetable Fibres
Inventor: LUGO ORAZIO
Filed: 1902-08-08
Granted: 1903-07-02
Abstract: 17,465. Lugo, O. Aug. 8. Processes ; retting.-Consists in, firstly, extract- ing, dissolving, or disassociating inorganic sub- stances such as silica from vegetable fibre such as peat moss, flax, esparto, raphia, ramie, bagasse, and any of the manilla grasses, and, secondly, extract- ing the gummy and colouring substances. The silica &c. is dissolved by means of a solution of hydrofluoric acid produced by the action of sul- phuric acid on calcium fluoride. The amount of silica is estimated in a sample, and the strength of the hydrofluoric acid solution is regulated accord- ingly. The resins, gums, and colouring-matters are now removed by treating with a solution of soda-ash or a solution of caustic soda or sodium peroxide. The whole of the bleaching-solution necessary is not used at once, but the largest portion is used first, and, after draining off, another portion is used and so on until the desired light colour is obtained. An electric current with low electro- motive force maybe passed through the alkalinesolu- tion ; the oxygen developed at the anode assists the bleaching action. The decolorized fibre is washed with water, and the alkali is neutralized by using the hydrofluoric mother liquor or any known bleaching-reagent, after which the fibre is again washed.

Title: Improvements in Machinery for Chaining or Linking Warps and other similar Assemblages or Yarn or Thread.
Inventor: LEACH ALFRED
Filed: 1902-12-03
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 26,604. Leach, A. Dec. 3. Yarns, warping.-Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specifications No. 5059, A.D. 1883, and No. 18,198, A.D. 1893. The machine is adapted for linking or chaining larger warps than usual. A spring catch d, Fig. 3, is provided within the hollow hook a for preventing the loops, which have been drawn back by the hook c and released, from slipping forwards on the hook a before they are engaged by the hook b. The guide eye or trumpet is made larger, and the oscillating hook b shorter, than usual, and the hook c is allowed to move forwards before the hook b can engage the loop which has to be removed from the stationary hook a. Fig. 5 is a side view of another machine. The oscillating trumpet 39 lays the yarn over one or a pair of double hooks h, n, of which the hook h is provided with a latch 10, and the hook n slides within the hook h. The latch 10 being thrown back, the yarn is laid on to the double hook, when the hook n draws the loop backwards over the latch and on to a sliding plate 12. The hook n returns to its forward position, a second loop is laid on to the hooks, which are now both drawn backwards, causing the plate 12 to push the first loop over the latch clear of both hooks, which now move forwards. The hook n is now drawn back to transfer the second loop on to the plate 12, and, being returned to its forward position, a third loop is laid on to the double hook, and the operations succeed each other as before ; 16 is a forked and hinged plate for ensuring that the loop which is removed by the plate 12 shall properly leave the latter plate. The yarn may be linked on one or a pair of double hooks h, n, or two warps may be linked simultaneously each over a double hook. Or two or more pairs of hooks may be mounted one above another, and arranged to act independently. As shown in Fig. 5, the hooks are mounted on the side frames j of the machine, and, if it is desired to form warps into chains or loops of various lengths, the side frames may be made adjustable towards and from one another, the length of the driving-shaft u and the movement of the trumpet 39 being also adjustable. Pairs of hooks &c. may be arranged on both sides of the machine, if desired.

Title: Screw Making Machine.
Inventor: CURTIS FRANK
Filed: 1902-12-29
Granted: 1903-02-26
Abstract: 28,665. Curtis, F. Jan. 20, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Lathes.-Relates to an automatic machine for making screws from metal rods or bars. The bars B are carried by hollow spindles 38, Figs. 1 and 3, which are constantly rotated by spur-wheels fixed to the spindles and gearing with an annular wheel 42 toothed internally for the spur-wheels and externally for the wheel 41 on a shaft carrying the pulley 40. The spindles are mounted in a carrier 34 rotated step by step by the wheel 33 connected by the pinion 31 to the wheel 30 intermittently clamped to the constantly-rotating shaft 2 by a clutch 19, 26, 24 actuated by the cam 13 through the rocking lever 15. The carrier 34 is locked in the proper positions by spring pawls 52, 62, which take into notches 50 in the carrier. The pawls rest upon adjustable wedges 55, 65, and the pawl 52 is withdrawn at intervals, to allow the carrier to be turned, by means of a lever 72 actuated by a projection 71 on the disc 70 fixed to the shaft 2. This shaft may be connected to the pulley 4 by a worm 5 and worm-wheel 6 frictionally clamped to the shaft 2 to prevent breakage in case of obstruction. The rod B is fed into the lowest spindle, and is carried round so that its end is first roughly trimmed down to form the screw shank, then finished, next roughly screwed, and lastly completely screwed. The screw is then cut off in any suitable way. The trimming-tools are carried by the spindles 81, 82, which, like the stop 83, slide in adjustable bushes in the fixed uprights 80. These spindles are adjustably connected together by a yoke 88, and are moved by the cam 100 and the lever 103. The screwing-dies are carried by the heads 122, Fig. 8, which first slide without turning and are then rotated faster than the spindles 38 but in the same direction, so as to unscrew the dies from the rod. The heads 122 are advanced by the lever 113 and cam 111, Fig. 1. This lever engages the clutch members 128, each of which is connected by a hook, with a slight lost motion, to the collar 126 on the sleeve 123 carrying the clutch member 124. The collar 126 belonging to the second screwing-head 122 carries a spring pin, against which the part 128 abuts. This allows the die to follow the thread cut by the first die. The clutch member 124 is prevented from turning by a pin 125 sliding in a groove 119 in the bar 117. The clutch pins 143 are inclined, as shown, and, while in engagement, the head 122 cannot rotate. The collar 126 ultimately reaches the stop 147, and the pins 143 are disengaged. At the same time, the toothed wheel 134 loose on the spindle 121 is pushed by the collar 138 until its pins engage with pins on the clutch 128 splined to the spindle 121. The rotation of the wheel 134 is thus transmitted to the spindle and screwing-die. The wheel 134 is constantly rotated by a toothed drum 133.

Abstract: 11,397. Heys, J. J. May 19. Stamping. -Relates to stamping-presses and like machines for marking, nailing, pegging, or attaching heels to boots and shoes &c., or for other analogous purposes. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to a boot and shoe stamping-machine. A number of dies c<1> are mounted in the revoluble turret c, which can be turned to bring any desired die into operative position and is then secured by a spring locking-pin. Provision is made for heating the turret and dies by means of steam. The jack d which carries the work is spring- supported on the pin e, which is movable in the carrier f and rests on the wedge g mounted on the cross-bar f<4> fixed to the arms or brackets f<3> of the carrier. The carrier is provided laterally with tubular guides working on vertical guide-bars, and is actuated by the cam h. The cam has a stud h<1>, which, by engaging the cam-flange i<1> on the lever i connected to the wedge g, is adapted to retract the wedge against the action of the spring k. The wedge is retracted while the carrier is bearing on the " dwell " x of the cam, and, when released, is brought into action by the spring k to raise the work up to the die c<1>, after which the carrier f is raised by the " swell " y on the cam to press the work against the die, the pressure exerted being uniform and independent of the thickness of the work. The " swell y is made wedge-shaped, and is mounted in a transverse guideway in the cam, so that it can be adjusted to regulate the pressure, and to compensate for wear.
