Title: Improvements in Lubricators
Inventor: KENNEDY GEORGE RUSSELL
Filed: 1908-11-30
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 25,853. Kennedy, G. R., and McCargo, G. Nov. 30. Screw - and - nut mechanasm.-A lubricator of the kind in which a spring- actuated plunger is used to deliver the lubricant, is provided with means for maintaining the tension of the spring approximately constant, comprising a shaft 17, Fig. 1, which is intermittently advanced by a spring 24 to reset the pressure spring 23 acting upon the plunger 15. The shaft 17 has one or more e threads of rapid pitch engaged by internal threads on a nut, consisting of inner and outer shells 18, 19. Rotation of the shaft 17 in the nut is prevented by a toothed feather 26 on the rod 16, which obstructs the path in the threads of the shaft of one or more screws 27. When the rod 16 is advanced by the spring 23 to such a position that the screw 27 can pass through a notch in the feather 26, the nut rotates, and the shaft 17 is advanced in the nut by the spring 24 until the feather again obstructs one of the screws. By this means the spring 23 is intermittently compressed. Balls 22 facilitate the rotation of the nut on a seat 21 on the cup 1. When it is desired to re-charge the cup 1, the plunger 15 and the shaft 17 are drawn back by turning the nut reversely. The nut may be held in any position by a spring-locking pin 29 engaging teeth 30 on the top of the cup 1. When the lubricator is working, the pin 29 is held out of engagement with the teeth 30 by a cam-surfaca on the flange 20 of the shell 19, the flange 20 being secured to the part 18 by a pin 32 passing through a curved slot in the part 18. In a modification, the spring 24 is dispensed with, and a clock-spring is used to rotate the nut and thus advance the threaded shaft 17 when permitted by the feather 26. To retract the plunger and wind up the clockspring, the nut is provided with a hand-wheel co-operating with a detent mounted on the cup. During normal working the detent is held out of action by a pin and a cam-surface on the cup. Fig. 8 shows a modification in which, to prevent damage to the feather 26 by a forcible turning of the nut, an outer shell 50 is connected to the part 18 by a pawl 54 and a toothed flange 51, which allows slip in one direction.

Patent GB-190930338-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Calculating Machines.
Inventor: HIENITZ WOLDEMAR REINHOLD
Filed: 1909-12-28
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 30,338. Heinitz, W. R. Dec. 28. Adding - apparatus.- An adding and subtracting machine, s e t and operated by a stylus, has means which can be set so that each actuating-bar can be returned automatically after a setting, or set so that all the bars can be returned after operating a releasing-device. Provision is made for preventing the actuation of the numeral wheels on the return of the bars, and for zeroizing. The spring-controlled actuating-bars are provided on their upper side with teeth 4 on which the digits are marked, and have a set of teeth 5 on the underside to engage the numeralwheels 9. A series of detents 15 under the control of a lever 18 are adapted to engage the teeth 4. A setting-lever 20 limits the movements of the lever 18, and, in the position shown in Fig. 1, the detents 15 engage the teeth of the bars, and can only be released to allow the bars to return when the lever 18 is depressed, whereupon the detents are raised by means of the levers 19 mounted on the spindle 17. When the lever 18 is depressed, cams 25 on the ends of the spindle engage the two arms 24 of a U-shaped web 23, so that this latter prevents the rotation of the numeral-wheels in the event of any of the actuating-bars rebounding. If the setting-lever 20 be turned through an angle of 180 degrees, the lever 18 can be depressed a greater extent than previously described, and is held in this position on account of the action of the spring 16 and the shape of the parts 14, 19. In this position, the detents are disengaged from the bars, which therefore return automatically to their normal positions. Zeroizing-mechanism.-The spindle 8 is provided with a milled head 26 which has a pin 27 engaging a notch in a projection 28 on the casing; the spindle 8 must first be moved longitudinally to free the pin 27, and is then rotated to enable the cams 39 on the spindle to pick up the pawls 37 on the numeral-wheels and rotate them to the zero position. A disk 30 fast upon the spindle 8 has a pawl 32 which normally engages a notch in the disk, but, during the zeroizing, rides on the disk and sets pawls 34 to lock the actuating-bars until the zeroizing is completed.
