Title: Improvements in Worm and Worm Wheel Pulley Blocks Hoists and the like.
Inventor: WILLETTS CHARLES
Filed: 1906-04-05
Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 8222. Willetts, C., and Rothan, A. H. April 5. Self - sustaining year. -Relates to worm and wormwheel pulleyblocks, and consists of special brake gear for sustaining the load and for enabling the load to be quickly lowered by a cord or chain attached to the end of a brake-operating lever. One form of the invention is shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The handchain wheel 3 is attached to one end of a shaft 2, a worm on which drives the worm-wheel 27 which is attached to the lifting-pulley. The other end of the shaft 2 is formed as a friction collar 1 which fits into a conical recess formed in a ratchetwheel 6, the boss of which is formed as a sleeve 8 which bears in the boss 9 formed on the side framing. The sleeve 8 also forms a bearing for the reduced portion of the shaft 2. A steel bearing- plug 11 fitted into the sleeve 8 bears against a plug 12 screwed into the framing at 9. A brake lever 13 pivoted at 14 is attached to the framing of one end by a spring. At the other end it acts on a pin 19 on a sliding bar 20 having at one end a projection bearing against the end of a rod 22. When lifting a load, the pawl 7 permits the spindle to turn only one way, any attempt of the load to run down being checked by the friction collar being pressed into its socket. The load may be allowed to run down by pulling a rope attached to the end of the brake lever 13 when the piece 22 pushes the shaft 2 lengthways relieving the pressure at be friction surfaces. The load is sustained at any point by relaxing the pull on the rope, whereupon the spring 16 pulls the lever 13 over and the load itself, acting upon the worm-wheel, causes the worm-shaft to move lengthways. and jams the friction clutch. In a. modification, - the brake lever moves the shaft lengthways by means of an eccentric pin working against collars.

Title: Improvements in Warp Stop-motions for Looms.
Inventor: MIRE JEAN BAPTISTE AMAND NOEL
Filed: 1906-05-03
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 10,411. Le Mire, J. B. A. N. H. Sept. 16, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Loom stop-motions.-In a warp stop-motion in which the warps normally support suitably-guided detectors a, two T-iron bars e, e<1> are supported below the detectors by two pairs of levers, which are pivoted on a cross-rod g. Pins on one pair of these levers project into slots i, i<1> in a vertical plate h, which is suitably guided and is raised by the action of a cam m on an arm z, secured to its supporting-rod q, and is lowered by a spring 2. The slots i, i<1> are inclined as shown, so that the jaws formed by the bars e, e<1> open as the plate h is raised and close as the plate is lowered. Levers s, s' are pivoted on the rod g, and are connected at their upper ends to the bars e, e<1> and at their lower ends to rods t, t<1>. The other ends of these rods are joined by a pivoted link 5, on which is secured a finger u<1>. As long as the warps are unbroken, the jaws e, e<1> close and open and the link 5 is rocked, so that the finger u<1> raises and lowers a pivoted stop V on the shipper lever X. When a warp breaks, its detector a falls and prevents the jaws from closing, so that the stop V is held in its middle position opposite a projection Y on the lay-sword. As the lay beats up, the projection Y strikes the stop V and releases the shipper lever.

Title: Improvements in Dies, and Die Heads, for Screw Cutting in Turret and Automatic Lathes, and the like
Inventor: STANDEN ROBERT
Filed: 1907-03-15
Granted: 1908-03-16
Abstract: 6 2 6 4. Standen, R., and Smith, C. March 15. Screwing.-In a diehead for cutting right or left handed screws in a turret or automatic lathe, an inner holder H, movable longitudinally and partly rotatable in an outer holder D, carries the slides A for the dies B, which have pins F engaging eccentric or inclined slots F<1> in a plate secured to the outer holder, the pins passing into boles E in the outer holder, or in a plate fixed to the outer holder, when the dies are set. When used in a turret lathe in which the die-head is non-rotary, a sleeve D<1> is fixed on the outer holder by a screw passing through one of two holes according to the direction of thread to be cut, and a handle on the inner holder passes through a recess in 'the sleeve. When the desired length of thread is cut, the die-head is stopped and the inner holder is thus drawn by the work out of the holder D against the action of the spring 1. The pins F are consequently drawn out of the holes E, and are forced up the inclined slots by springs G to release the dies, the inner holder also having a T-slot engaging a pin J to allow a partial rotary movement of the inner holder to prevent damage to the threads. The dies are closed on the work by the handle. For the automatic opening and closing of the dies, the sleeve is replaced by a sleeve, Fig. 6, longitudinally movable on the outer holder through slots D<3>, and having inclines M for engaging a pin on the inner holder which replaces the resetting-handle. When the die-head is withdrawing from the work, the back of the sleeve, against which springs press, comes in contact with a stop, and the sleeve is forced forward, one of the inclines M engaging the pin and closing the dies.

Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 8233. DieudonnÚ, L. T. April 9, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Mills and apparatus. - Relates to crushing- machines in which the material is fed by an endless chain of boxes or wagons underneath verticallyreciprocating spikes or teeth. The spikes are formed with square throats and screwed ends, and are carried by a removable plate N, Fig. 1, bolted to a ram consisting of a plate D with a piece E of hard wood wedged between its downwardly-turned ends. The boxes pass over octagonal drums A, B, and are advanced step by step by means of a rod O, which is connected to a shaft F traversing the ram and carries a plate P at its lower end. An articulated arm Q attached to the plate carries a catch R engaging a ratchet-wheel Y mounted on a shaft connected by spur gearing to the axle of the drum A. When the ram shaft G is raised by the cam K on the driving-shaft J, the lever Q is lifted and the wheel Y turned through the space of one tooth, when it is stopped by the pawl T, Fig. 4, of a ratchet-wheel S mounted on the collar of the wheel Y. On the descent of the crushing-tool the pawl R takes the next notch, and on the up-stroke the tapered end of the lever Q raises the pawl T and allows the wheel Y to advance. A pawl and ratchet-wheel on the axle of the drum A prevents any backward movement. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1907 comprises also the use of two toothed octagonal wheels instead of the drum B, actuating-mechanism for the ram, and a clearing-plate for the spikes to work through. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted, but forms the subject-matter of Specification No. 23,039, A.D. 1907.
