Title: A New or Improved Automatic and Autographic Testing Machine, chiefly for use in Testing the Cutting Efficiency of Tool Steel.
Inventor: HERBERT EDWARD GEISLER
Filed: 1908-12-05
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 26,321. Herbert, E. G., and Fletcher. C. Dec. 5. Lathes; drilling.-In apparatus for testing the cutting efficiency and durability of tool steel, and the relative value of various cutting compounds or lubricants, or for determining the power absorbed by the tool and its efficiency with various cutting- angles and under different cutting-speeds, the tool 29, Fig. 1, is mounted upon a pivoted carriage 27, resembling a steelyard, and is applied to the lower edge of a rotating vertical standard test tube 22 ; the cross-section of the cut is thus kept constant. The carriage, Fig. 5, is provided with knife-edges 30 in an horizontal plane, and the balance beam 35, 33 is controlled by an adjustable counterpoise 36 and dash-pot 37, 38 on one side, and on the other side by weights 91 and an adjustable weight 34, which, by means of a scale 39, facilitates adjustment of the upward pressure applied to the tool 29 in order to maintain the cut. The tool is provided with a screw 29<a> and with means 77, 78, Fig. 7, for enabling it to be set horizontally. The tube 22 is fed vertically downwards against a fixed supporting- plate 40, which, however, allows room for the tool to act, by means of weights 13, Fig. 1, upon the spindle 9. The length of tube cut away before the tool becomes blunted is graphically recorded, as shown in Fig. 15, against the number of revolutions of the tube by device 42, 41, Fig. 1. In testing lubricants, a tank 87, pump 88, and supply and return pipes 89, 90 are provided to force the lubricant into the test tube and on to the tool. An arrangement 71, 72, 75<a>, Fig. 19, is provided for measuring the force required to balance the reactive turning-effort of the tube upon the tool. The tool may be set to take a cut of definite extent, instead of being merely pressed against the tube with a definite pressure, by means of a screw 80, Fig. 11, engaging with an extension 81 upon the end of the balance beam 27, and may also be set so as to be out of action, when a predetermined amount of wear has taken place, by means of a micrometer screw 82. The tube 22 can be driven at various speeds by means of friction wheels 7, 8, the adjustment to a required speed being facilitated by the aid of a speed-indicating arrangement consisting of a mechanicallyoperated bell-hammer and of an adjustable pendulum. A rack traversing- motion 15, 16, 20 for moving the tube vertically is provided. Various modifications are described dealing with the provision of a drill for forming the test-tube from a solid rod as the test proceeds, and with arrangements in which the tool is rotated while the test-tube is held stationary.

Title: Improvements in Milking Machines.
Inventor: THOMSEN THOMAS FLENSBURG
IPC: A01J5/04
Filed: 1909-01-30
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 2309. Thomsen, T. F. Jan. 30. Cow-milkers.-A milking-machine, either fixed or portable, and which may be operated by hand or power, has the teat-cups designed to work on a low degree of vacuum. The machine consists of a suction pump and an air or water pulsator, both operated by the same hand-lever. The pump exhausts a tank fitted with a pressure gauge and safety-valve and connected through a cock to the milk-receiver, from which a rubber or like pipe 14 leads through a second cock to the inner chamber of the teatcups. The cups consist of an outer aluminium or like cylinder 17 closed at the base by a rubber or like disk 23, to which is suitably attached, for instance by the flanged pipe shown, a flexible cup 18 thicker at the base than at the top. This form may be obtained by using a number of thin rubber cups of different heights. A flange 19 with air inlets 20 connects the cup 18 to the outer cylinder 17, to the top of which an annular projection 21 is attached to separate off the air-cushion 24. A second projection 22 fixed in a slot in the cylinder 17 divides the outer chamber into two compartments. The pipes 13 lead to the pulsator, and the pipe from the lower chamber 26 is fitted with a reducing- valve. When suction is applied, it draws back the cup 18 and lifts the disk 23, causing the aircushion 24 to give an impulse or shock to the udder. As the pressure is raised, the fluid enters first the upper chamber 25, and then the lower compartment 26. The point of attachment of the pulsator to the lever may be varied to alter its stroke, and the stops that limit the movement of the lever may also be adjustable.
Patent GB-190902842-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Fluid Clutch Mechanism.
Inventor: DODGE CHARLES WARREN
IPC: F16D31/02
Filed: 1909-02-05
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 2842. Dodge, C. W. Feb. 5. Clutches.-Relates to an improved construction of fluid clutch mechanism of the type in which a driving-shaft carries a support having gear-wheels loosely mounted on it and meshing with a pinion on the driven shaft, the gear-wheels being connected with pistons reciprocating in cylinders containing a fluid, variable speed of the driven shaft being obtained by more or less restricting the circulation of the fluid. The driving-shaft A, Fig. 2, carries a support B, such as a fly-wheel. Turning on studs b, Fig. 1, on this support are gear-wheels E, meshing with a pinion D on the driven shaft C and connected to a cross-head G, to which is also connected the piston-rod I' of a cylinder J. The ends of the cylinder J are connected by a conduit K, which may be more or less reconstructed by a valve M. The valve M is operated by a rod Q, attached to a sleeve O, sliding on, but rotating with, the shaft A. The gear-wheels and cylinders are enclosed by a casing R', which is filled with oil, a valve N being provided in the conduit K, to enable the conduit to be filled. If the valve M is open, no resistance is offered to the circulation of fluid, and consequently the gear-wheel E can rotate freely. On rotation of the driving-shaft, the wheels E are carried round the pinion D, which remains at rest. As the valve is gradually closed, resistance offered to the rotation of the wheels E increases, and the pinion D is carried round. When the valve is completely closed, the wheel E is locked, and the driven shaft rotates at the same speed as the driving-shaft.

Indicating and registering mechanism.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which the weight is indicated electrically on a dial situated at any convenient distance from the weighing - mechanism. The weight applied to a hook 3, Fig. 1, is transmitted through any suitable system of levers to a lever 4 controlled bv a spring 8. At one side of the weighing-levers is an insulated frame 9, Figs. 1 and 2, carrying a number of pegs 11, round which a length of bare wire 13 is passed, the ends 12, Fig. 2, of the wire being placed in an electrical circuit containing a current measuring-device, the dial of which indicates weights. An H-shaped shoe 14 slides on each adjacent pair of wires and is connected by a cord 20 to the lever 4. A weight 17 hangs from each shoe. The movement of the lever 4 varies the positions of the shoes on the wire 13 and thus changes the resistance of the frame, the indication of the dial altering accordingly. The shoes 14 &c. are counterbalanced by adjusting a weight 7.

Patent GB-191002399-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Speed Indicators.
Inventor: SMITH ALLAN GORDON
Filed: 1910-01-31
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 2399. Smith, A. G., and Dorer, P. O. Jan. 31. Indicating maximum movements. - In speed indicators provided with a maximum hand which is zeroized or released manually, means are employed for preventing the releasing action until a predetermined distance has been traversed or a certain time has elapsed. An indicator is also provided to show approximately when the hand was last released. The ratchet wheel n on the maximum hand spindle is normally held by a detent which may be moved to release the spindle by operating a pusher k. The pusher, however, can only descend when a gap in a ring e is immediately beneath a pin g on the pusher rod. This ring is mounted on a ratchet-wheel d adapted to be rotated intermittently by an oscillating pawl r actuated by pins t on a wheel u rotated by the vehicle. When the wheel d has made a complete rotation, equivalent to a distance traversed by the vehicle of, for example, just over 440 yards, no further movement of the wheel occurs owing to the pawl then being in contact with a mutilated portion 1 of the wheel. If the pusher is then operated to release the maximum hand, the pin g engages a cam-surface on the wheel d, and so rotates the wheel sufficiently to enable the pawl again to drive it. The pusher cannot be again actuated until the wheel d has been once more completely rotated by the pawl. A coloured indicating-disk c is attached to the wheel d and a portion of it is visible through an aperture in the dial. Until a prescribed distance, for instance, 222 yards, has been covered since the last actuation of the pusher, white is visible, while for the remainder of the predetermined distance green shows, and when the ring has completed its rotation and the pusher is again free to move, red appears. When time is the determining element, the pawl r is actuated periodically by a clock-controlled tappet.

Abstract: 5468. Rahder, J. L. G. March 4. Clutches.-In an hydraulic power - transmission c o u p l i n g, capable of use as a brake device, the pistons are provided on one side of the arms carrying them, and are all on the same side relative to the direction of rotation, so that they engage with their working chambers in such a way that the working surfaces are pressed together automatically. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form of the apparatus. The arms g are secured to a sleeve e mounted on the eccentric boss c on the shaft b. Arms h are similarly mounted on the boss d, so that, when the shaft b is rotated, the piston-like extensions l secured to the rods are moved up and down in the recesses in the gripper disk k. These chambers or recesses are connected by ducts m, n the former of which are arranged near the centre of the shaft a and merge into ducts v which may be moved out of registration, so that the flow of fluid from one chamber to the other, which takes place normally due to the opposite displacements of the adjacent pistons, is stopped. Fig. 3 is a section on the line C-D of Fig. 2, and shows the wedge-shaped surfaces of the pistons l bearing against the corresponding faces of the chambers i<1>, and so producing a tight joint. In the modification shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6, the bosses c, d, arranged eccentrically on the shaft b and to each other are of conical form and one is removable. Bushes g<1>, h<1> are slipped over the bosses and are provided with wedge - shaped recesses z wherein engage disks g<2>, h<2>, provided with wedge - shaped attachments y, and also with piston-like attachments l. The gripper arms k are fixed to the shaft a; and the arms engage by means of arms k<2> between the disks g<2>, h<2>.
