Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Turret Lathes.
Inventor: POTTER JAMES CHARLES
IPC: B23Q5/34
Filed: 1913-05-05
Granted: 1914-07-06
Abstract: 10,567. Potter, J. C. March 15, [Convention date]. Lathes. - Automatic turret lathes have a special arrangement of cross slide mechanism, driven from and controlled by the main camdrum which has a substantially helical groove and requires reversal. The feed-shaft 11, Fig. 1, drives the main drum 10 through reversing bevels 15 and worm gearing 190. The clutch 16 is secured to the shaft 14 and is operated by shifting the shaft by a bar 33, Fig. 6, controlled by a tappet 34 having a projection engaged by a dog and provided with a spring throw-over 35. The tappet is secured to the bar by means permitting lost motion to ensure the complete operation of the clutch by the throw-over device. The cam-drum drives through bevel-gearing 21, a shaft 22 carrying spur-wheels of differing size meshing with wheels on a shaft and on a concentric shaft. The shaft carries the dog referred to above, and the sleeve a projection. The shaft and sleeve turn at different speeds, and when the projection is in phase with the dog, the dog is projected to actuate the tappet 34. The shaft 22 is worm-geared to a shaft carrying a dogwheel 70 and is bevel-geared to shafts 38, one on each side of the lathe, which actuate the cross slides, through shafts 44, Fig. 2, change gearing 45 and the splined shafts and bevel gearing shown driving the cam drums 57. The cross slides may be angularly adjustable about the shafts 53 as controlled by worm gearing 78 and a clamp 80 and are carried by rests 40 transversely adjustable on independent saddles 41. The movement is controlled by clutches 61 and spring-controlled rack rods 64 in connexion with dogs 71, 72 and retaining rib 74. The dog-wheel is driven intermittently in one direction from the shaft 82. The dogs 71 for starting the feed movement are adjustable in position, but the dogs 72 for the return are fixed in position and are rendered operative by the cams 95. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the mechanism, for intermittently starting the dog-wheel, which comprises the pawl arm and detent mechanism shown in Fig. 8 (Cancelled). This mechanism forms the subject-matter of Specification 13,616/14 and does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Lubrication of Internal Combustion Motors.
Inventor: MEDINGER EMILE
IPC: F01M1/04
Filed: 1913-05-06
Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 10,667. MÚdinger, E. May 6. Channels and reservoirs in engine crank casings.-Lubricating-oil is forced to the bearings of a multi-cylinder internal-combustion engine, particularly of the two-stroke-cycle type, by the pressure in the crank chambers, and is returned automatically to a common reservoir. Compressed air from the crank chambers b passes 'through non-return valves f, fitted in screwed nipples e, into the oil-reservoir a, and forces the oil through passages in the walls of the chamber to the crank-shaft bearings. Passages in the crank-shaft conduct some of the oil to the crank-pin bearings. The used oil collects in wells d and is forced through the valves f into the reservoir a. Instead of being integral with the crank chambers b, the reservoir a may be formed separately and connected thereto by pipes.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Tally Strip Mechanism for Typewriters.
IPC: B41J35/22
Filed: 1913-06-05
Granted: 1914-06-04
Abstract: 13,094. Sheldon, W. G., and Reming- ton Typewriter Co. June 5. Ink-ribbon mechanism; web-feeding arrangements. -In arrangements in which a tally-strip is inked by an independent ink-ribbon, devices are provided for feeding the ribbon slowly backwards and forwards and for winding out manually a fresh length of ribbon at intervals. The ribbon is preferably arranged behind the tally-strip, and this is made of an open texture so that the impression shows through. The ribbon n is wound in opposite directions on spools k, which are loose on shafts l and are provided with pinions m adapted to engage a mutilated crown-wheel j driven step-by-step in one direction. The crown-wheel is provided with teeth on substantially less than half the circumference. The ribbon is fed forwards and backwards during each revolution of the crown-wheel. The step-by-step feed of the crown-wheel is effected by a shaft c which may carry the crown-wheel or, as shown, gears with it through a pinion h. The shaft c is connected with an intermittently-operated part such as the release-device g for the feed-rollers. The ribbon is maintained taut by brakes. For winding out manually a fresh length of ribbon, devices are provided for coupling either spool k with its shaft l and simultaneously moving the crown-wheel j out of engagement with the pinions m. For this purpose, the shafts l are provided with pointed ends adapted on longitudinal movement of either shaft to move the crown-wheel axially against the pressure of a spring q. The shafts are formed with grooves r adapted to lock the crown-wheel in the released position. Each shaft is provided with clutch-teeth adapted to engage recesses in the associated spool when the shaft is pushed longitudinally. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the shafts l are each provided with a pin y co-operating with a groove arranged so that on rotating the shaft the pin rides along an oblique part of the groove and moves the shaft longitudinally to cause the clutch-teeth s to engage the spool k. The groove w runs into a circumferential groove w adapted to lock the parts in the set position.

Title: A New or Improved Device for Ensuring the Longitudinal Stability and Facilitating the Landing of Aeroplanes.
Inventor: FILIASI FRANCESCO
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 1913-06-25
Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 14,731. Filiasi, F. June 25. Steering and balancing.- The longitudinal balancing-planes 7, 8 arranged at the front and rear of an aeroplane are controlled by a tail plane 2 carried on rods 4 the front ends of which are mounted in stirrups 3. The planes 7, 8 are actuated by rods 5, 6 so as to be moved simultaneously in opposite directions. When the machine inclines downwards at the front, the air pressure acts on the upper side of the tail plane 2 which moves the planes 7, 8 to direct the machine upwards. The stirrups 3 carrying the ends of the rods 4 are controlled by a device actuated either by hand or by the contact with the ground of a drag or an anchor depending from the machine so that the stirrups may be suddenly lowered when the machine is near the ground. The air pressure then acts on the upper side of the plane 2 and causes the planes 7, 8 to direct the machine upwards so as to facilitate landing under the control of the aviator. Each stirrup 4 is carried by a band 40 one end of which is wound around a pulley 23 and the other is passed around a pulley 41 and fastened to a spring 42. On each side of the longitudinal axis of the machine is a shaft 22 longitudinally displaceable in a frame 20 against the action of a spring 28. The pulley 23 is free to rotate on the shaft but is prevented from axial movement by a bracket 24. A pulley 25, free to rotate on the shaft 22 but movable longitudinally therewith, has wound around it one end of a band 38 the other end of which is connected to a spring 39. In the normal position of the parts as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the stirrups 3 are maintained in the central position by the action of the opposing springs 39, 42. When the shafts 22 are moved longitudinally by the lever 30, the pulley 25 is disengaged from the pulley 23 and the stirrups 3, being freed from the action of the springs 39, are drawn downwards by the springs 42. The levers 30 are actuated either by a cord 37 controlled by a hand-lever or by a cord 36 carrying the groundanchor. A stop 33 actuated by a spring 34 locks the lever 30 after it has been moved by the cord 35. The stirrups can also be coritrolled manually by a lever and cords which turn the pulleys 41, whereby the tension on the lower parts of the bands 40 can be increased or diminished.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Hydraulic Change Speed Gear for Automobiles.
Inventor: HAMMER LUDWIG
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1913-03-29
Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 19,335. Hammer, L. March 29. [Addition to 16,149/12.] Clutches and speed-varying mechanism. - In the apparatus described in the parent Specification, the pipe connecting the suction and delivery pipes of the primary pump, and forming a by-pass circuit, contains a complete valve chamberwith a non-return valve closing against the suction pipe. The pressure and suction p i p e s 10, 11, Fig. 1, of the pump 1, are connected by the pipe 86 provided with non-return valve 87. The pressure and suction pipes 10, 11, cross one another in the reversing and throttling cock 88. The pipes 114, 115, and 86 cross one another in the same plug cock 117. The motors 100, 101 are connected as shown. A pipe 104, closed by a valve 105, leads from the suction pipe 11 to the high-pressure vessel 106, which is connected by the pipe 107 with the low-pressure vessel 110. From this vessel, a pipe 111 with non-return valve 112 leads back to the delivery pipe 10. A connecting-pipe 118 with valve 119, is also provided. On turning the cock 117 so as to open the passages through 114, 115, and close the pipe 86, liquid flows from reservoir 106 into the pump, and back to the reservoir 110, thus rotating the pump and starting the driving-engine. When the cock 117 is closed, the pressure liquid from the pump will act upon the motors 100, 101. If the motors tend to overrun the pump, no reaction of liquid upon the pump occurs, the valve 87 opening the by-pass 86. A braking effect is obtained by reducing the pump delivery gradually to zero, and at the same time gradually closing the cock 88. During this condition of running of the motors, liquid is delivered through pipes 98, 99, to the vessel 106, and then to the vessel 110 and back to the motors. A reverse drive can be obtained by adjusting the cock 88.
