Patent GB-189914977-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Arrangements and Mechanism for Cutting or Producing the Teeth of Mitre and Bevel Wheels.
Filed: 1899-07-20
Granted: 1900-07-20
Abstract: 14,977. Smith & Coventry and Coventry, T. July 20. Shaping. - The invention comprises modifications of and improvements on that described in Specification No. 8418, A.D. 1895, for cutting teeth of mitre and bevel wheels. Tools operate on both sides of a tooth simultaneously, and automatically cut a tooth of the same shape as that which would be traced by employing an odontograph, viz., each tool traces a single arc approximating to an involute. The wheel to be cut is mounted on a headstock on a slide 32 which turns about a vertical pivot 31, and the cutters slide on inclined bars 20 pivoted at 106 which can be adjusted about their pivot to suit the shape of the tooth. The slide 32 is fed up to the cutters at every rotation of the wheel by a worm 44 operated by an eccentric on the headstock; a stop throws the feed out of action when the cutters reach the bottom of the tooth. The wheel is rotated by a cam, driving a ratchet with a constant stroke, the pawl of which is permitted to engage only the desired number of teeth on the ratchet-wheel by an adjustable shroud. The arms 20 on which the tools slide carry graduated slotted heads 111 by means of which they are bolted to links 114 carrying blocks 115 which slide in horizontal guides 116 mounted on arms 117 and 121 so that they may approach, but always remain parallel to each other. They are operated by a link 135 connecting the arm 117 to the lever 133, which is turned by the carriage 32 as it moves the wheel towards the cutters by a toothed rack 124 engaging a sector 128 and bevel - wheels 129, 131. The positions of the blocks 115 in the guides 116 and the position of the link on the lever 133 are adjusted by scales marked on them to suit the particular wheel it is desired to cut. The tool 168 is of triangular cross-section, and is secured in a dovetailed recess in the tool box by a wedge 165. The tool box is pivoted and automatically tilted to clear the tool on the back stroke by a cam. The processes by which the formulae are obtained for calculating the scales are described.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Automatic Intermittent Discharge of Sewage or other Liquid to, and Withdrawal from, Filter Beds.
Inventor: KILLON HARRY BIRCH
Filed: 1900-02-10
Granted: 1900-11-10
Abstract: 2647. Killon, H. B. Feb. 10. Filter beds, supplying and discharging liquid in. - Relates to apparatus for filling and emptying in succession a series of chambers or filter beds, as in the bacterial purification of sewage &c. The liquid runs continuously into a central chamber, which is emptied when full into one of the surrounding chambers or filter beds by means of one of a corresponding number of siphons. Each siphon has an air lock, controlled by two float valves, which open when their floats rise. One float is in the central chamber, and the other in the filter chamber supplied by an adjacent siphon. Supposing the filter No. 1 to be full, and that it controls one of the airlock valves of the siphon No. 2, the similar valve of the siphon No. 3 being controlled by the filter No. 2, and so on ; then, on the central chamber becoming full and all the floats therein therefore rising, it isdischarged by the siphon No. 2 into the filter No. 2. This is repeated until the filter No. 2 is full, when a second float contained in it opens the discharge valve of the filter No. 1, and the next discharge of the central chamber takes place through the siphon No.3 into the filter No. 3, and so on in rotation. Byepasses connect adjacent airlocks and adjacent filter discharge wells, so that any filter may be cut out when necessary. The air lock float valves controlled by the liquid in the central chamber may be replaced by liquid seals in the siphon which are blown out on the central chamber becoming full. Fig. 6 shows the device for causing the rapid movement of the air-lock valves. The float F is in a fixed cylinder R, which fills slowly from the bottom until the valve reaches its seat (as shown in full lines), and afterwards quickly when the liquid reaches the upper edge of the cylinder. A grating or strainer Q may be fitted to prevent the passage of solids.

Abstract: 5285. Coleman, C. W. March 13. Moulding.-A sand moulding machine has a frame a, b above which is a stationary pressure head a<11>. A table e, guided vertically on a hollow post c, is raised by air pressure from a supply pipe c", and cushioned on its downward stroke by a spring e'. On the table are side pieces f adjustable to suit the plate 9 and the depth of the pattern f <1>. The plate g, which may be the pattern plate or may support the pattern plate, may have patterns on one or both sides, and is journalled in open sockets j in a frame h<1> sliding on guides h on the framing a. Two such plates are shown, but more may be used, each one being held in a horizontal position by a spring pin j<1> in the frame h<1>. The flasks are held on the plates by fingers &c. g'. The frame h<1> is moved horizontally by hand or by cords m<1> attached to the frame h<1> and to the framing a and passing over guide-pulleys m<11> and pulleys m carried by the double ended piston-rod l<111> of a cylinder, provided with airsupply pipes. At each side of the machine are tables 0<11> carried by plungers p<11> raised by oil &c. contained in vessels q and subjected to air pressure. The tables are cushioned on the downstroke by collars p<1> on rods p, which also limit their upward movement. In operating the machine, assuming the frame h to be in the extreme position to the left, the left flask is filled with sand, and the frame moved to bring it over the table e, which is raised to ram the sand round the pattern against the head a<11>. During the ramming the right flask is filled and the frame moved back so that it may be rammed, while the left flask and plate g are turned over and the left table o<11> raised to receive the left flask and withdraw it gradually from the pattern by relieving the pressure on the oil. During this withdrawal, another flask is placed on the opposite side of the plate g and filled with sand, the frame being then moved to the right and the cycle of operations repeated. An air pipe and valve may be provided for blowing away loose sand. When a plate with a pattern on each side is used, two flasks may be rammed simultaneously by providing one flask with a frame in which the loose sand is held by a pressure board while the flask is inverted and the second flask filled, the flasks being then brought under the pressure head. The Provisional Specification refers to a belt conveying-apparatus for removing and assembling the flasks, but the Complete Specification states that this apparatus has not been found to be practicable.
