Abstract: 23,471. Arnesen, J. Oct. 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Saws, sharpening.-In a reciprocating filing-machine for . sharpening saws, of the type in which the feed pawl engages the tooth that is to be filed at the next stroke so as to act on teeth of irregular pitch without re-adjustment, the pawl extends upwards beneath the file and is adjustably mounted relatively to an arm acted on by the swinging end of the connecting - rod. The pawl 1 is pivoted to an arm 2 having an adjusting- screw 3, and mounted on a pivot 5 secured to the support 4. The pivot 5 also carries a screw-adjusted arm 6, the friction roller 8 of which engages the extension 11 of a connecting- rod 10, which is pivoted at the bolt 9 to a slide 13. The slide has projecting walls 25, 26 to receive an arm 19 on the file-carrier 20, which is carried by a sleeve 18. The carrier is rocked to move it away from the saw in the inoperative stroke by the engagement of a screw 17 on the rod 10 with the arm 19, and is brought back to position by a spring 22 fixed at one end to the slide and connected to the sleeve 18 by a chain. The rod 10 is held against the bolt 9 by a spring mounted on an L-shaped piece 16 fixed to the slide 13. To facilitate removal of the saw, the file-carrier is rocked until the arm engages a slot 28 in the projection 26, whereupon it may be slid along to the dotted position and held by lugs 29, 30. The grooved standard 31 in which the saw is guided has a recess 33 at the filing position.

[Addition to 29,093/10.] Variable - speed epi. cyclic gearing. - The three - speed gear de. scribed in the pareni Specification comprises an epicyclic train which may operate like a balance gear or may be caused to turn solid at either of two speeds. In the present arrangement, this locking solid of the train is effected by a double - ended clutch member e<4>, which turns with the carrier e<2> of the planet pinions e, f and is adapted to engage positively either of the side gears c, d. Sprocket - wheels g, h d r i v e n at different speeds on either side of a cycle hub k are connected to the gears c, d, respectively, through ratchet clutches g<4>, h<4>. The sprocket g is turning faster than the sprocket h, and in the form shown, the balance gearing is operative. When the clutch member e<4> is moved to the right, dogs e" engage recesses d<2> in the gear d and lock the balance gearing solid. The hub k is then driven by the sprocket g, the clutch h<4> overrunning. To allow the sprocket h to drive the locked gearing, it is necessary to render the clutch g<4> inoperative. For this purpose, a swing catch g<6> engages the end of the clutch pawl g<4> and enters a recess c<2> in the gear c.
