Title: Improvements in Power Transmission Means.
Inventor: WAUD WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: F16H21/14
Filed: 1911-12-30
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 29,382. Waud, W. H. Dec. 30. Chain gearing; conveying rotary motion.- Chain gearing is used to connect a rotary pedalactuated shaft c to a shaft h so as to utilize the mechanical advantage of a pair of differential pulleys or chain-wheels x. Drums d, e, Fig. 1, mounted loosely on the shaft c are connected by bevel-gearing 9, 10, 9<1> so that they must always turn in opposite directions. A band y' secured to the upper side of the drum d passes across between guide-pulleys 3, 2 round a guide-pulley 1, where it joins on to a chain y, over a pulley x and down to a pulley q, Fig. 3, then again over the pulley x and ending on the underside of the drum e. A companion band and chain begins above the drum e and ends below the drum d. Rods o, p communicate the pulls upon the pulleys q to cranks j, k upon the shaft h. The drums d, e are caused to turn alternately with the shaft c so that the chains y and cranks j, k come alternately into action. To effect this, spring plungers 6 project from the faces of the drums d, e into the paths of pedal-cranks b, which are fast on the shaft c. At the proper time, an incline on the side of each plunger 6 engages a fixed part f so that the plunger is pressed inwards and the crank is allowed to slip past. Additional cranks m, Fig. 3, on the shaft h may be connected by rods 12, 16 to eccentrics 14, 13, Fig. 1, which are connected by sleeves to the drums d, e, respectively. The application to propelling vehicles is mentioned.

Title: Apparatus for Automatically Machining the Front and Rear Surfaces of the Blades of Ships Propellers.
Inventor: YOUSHKIEVICH VITOLD
IPC: B23Q1/01
Filed: 1912-07-02
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 15,437. Youshkievich, V. July 2. Shaping curved surfaces.-Screw propellers to be machined on the front and rear faces are carried by a rotary table mounted on a reciprocating table, in a machine which is an improvement on that described in Specification 17,691/11. The cuts may be taken radially with circumferential feed or conversely. The driving and feed mechanism illustrated is suitable for the former case. The tool is maintained normal to the helical surface at the point of machining, and additional motion is given to the tool when cutting the rear face to give a continuously varying curvature from point to root of the blades. In the front faces, the tool 60, Fig. 2, is carried with its edge at the centre of an arc-shaped saddle a<2> oscillated on a guide a<3> by an arm C connected by a slider to a nut on a screw d rotated by the gearing shown from the table-driving mechanism. Fecd is imparted to the rotary table B by a wormwheel and worm on a shaft spur-geared to a shaft 62, Fig. 5, carried by the table 52 and rotated by a ratchet-wheel and pawl V carried by a lever having pins X adapted to engage a tumbler dog Z carried by the bed. Two pins X are provided to vary the amount of feed according to which one is engaged by the longer or shorter dog Z employed. The worm-shaft is bevel-geared to a shaft Y geared through a .shaft 61 to the screws 54, 55 of the cross-slide 56. A reversing-gear provides for varying the hand of helix generated. When machining the rear faces the too] has in addition an axial movement in its holder produced by a rack and pinion g driven through universal joints and telescopic shafts from a pinion i geared by a circular sliding rack o to a pinion l geared to a pinion 40 meshing with a rack p, Figs. 10 and 11, carried by a slide 65. A saw 22, Fig. 2, geared to the shaft 61, traverses a slide 102 on a slide II adjustable on the plate 58', and by means of a sliding and swivel bearing 102<1> oscillates a lever 34 pivoted to the slide II and operating through a second swivel &c. bearing 71<1> a slide 37 carried by a slide I on the plate 58<1>. The slide 37 carries a slide 37<1> pivoted to a lever 30 fulcrumed on the slide I and linked to the slide 65 at 32. The travel of the slide 65 is thus varied according to whether the tool is cutting at the tip or the root of the blade, and the curvature of the rear face is varied accordingly. In order to vary the thickness of the blades in a corresponding manner, the position of the fulcrum of the lever 30 is raised by traversing the slide I by a pin and block 20 engaging an inclined slot 21 in the templet III. By employing templets with slots 21 of the proper inclination propellers having blades possessing rake may be machined.

Abstract: 21,154. Deister, E., and Deister, W. F. Sept. 17. Vanning-machines.-A concentrating-table is made with a plateau having a surface above the main surface of the table, and is inclined downwards from its head and upwards from its rear side. In the form suitable for the treatment of sand, the sand is fed into a box 2 and passes from a trough 3 on to the table 1 where it encounters riffles 7, which, together with the motion imparted to the table, serve to direct the values towards the front of the table. A plateau 8, the inner edge of which lies approximately along the line of separation of the streams of gangue and values, is arranged adjacent to the discharge edge and has riffles 10, preferably in line with the riffles 7, and a water-supply pipe 13. The values mount the plateau 8 and are discharged into the trough 9 while the gangue flows to the lower end 26. In a form suitable for the treatment of slime, a portion of the main surface of the table near the lower end of the table has a downward inclination towards both the lower end of the table and towards the mineral discharge edge, and the riffles are of varying height, the working surface being formed of linoleum which imparts a curvature to the sides of the riffles. The plateau in this case gradually increases in width from the head of the table to the mineraldischarge edge, which is near the lower end of the table, and water is supplied to the plateau from a trough which may also extend over the cleaning-up surface behind the mineraldischarge edge.
