Title: Improvements in and connected with Means for Locking Nuts, Bolts, Studs, and the like.
Inventor: MARSHALL DALE
Filed: 1904-04-12
Granted: 1905-04-20
Abstract: 8393. Marshall, D. April 12. Locking nuts, bolts, and studs. - To provide means for locking a nut, bolt, stud, or the like in position, a sheet-metal sleeve or liner A is interposed between the upper part of the thread of the stud &c. C and that of the socket B into which it fits. A space D, equal to the thickness of the sleeve, is thus left below the sleeve, between the stud and the outer screw thread. A wedge F is placed at the bottom of the screw ho'e ; it enters a recess E in the end of the stud, as the latter is driven in and forces the peripheral portions outwards to fill the space D, in which case the stud cannot be withdrawn while the s'eeve A is retained in position. The sleeve A is provided with a vertical collar or a flange H to facilitate adjustment or to fix it to the bed to prevent rotation, and is furthermore slit to any desirable extent to permit of expansion. It may be constructed from narrow sheet metal made in helical form ; its thickness may be uniform, tapering, or variable. The stud is correspondingly tapered or shaped, preferably by means of the wedge already described. In cases where the bottom of the bolt hole is open, the wedge F may be driven in for the same purpose by a hammer or other means. In case of a bolt and nut, the lining is attached to the holt, and the inner face of the nut is provided with an annular groove in which a circular wedge fits to force the edges inwards on screwing up. Fig. 5 shows an application in which the locking-arrangement is used in duplicate and serves as a pipe joint or shaft coupling. In this case a plug F, which may be tubular or solid, serves the purpose of the wedge F shown in Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Feed Traverse of Sawing Machines & the like to Fix any Desired Limit to the Speed of said Feed Traverse
Inventor: HILL JOSEPH
Filed: 1904-06-10
Granted: 1905-06-08
Abstract: 13,142. Hill, J. June 10. Sawing.-The speed of the feed traverse of a sawing-machine is prevented from exceeding a desired maximum by means of a stop which limits the movement of the friction gear. A friction-disc B<3> is driven by a chain-wheel B<4>, and is gripped between two friction-discs B<1>, B' by means of a spring S. These discs also grip the disc B, which drives the feed-screw A through the worm E'. The discs B', B<2> are carried by a spindle D which is mounted in a U-shaped bracket C', keyed on a quadrant shaft G. A quadrant extension K has a number of holes K<X> in it, in which the stop O may be put and secured by a padlock P. The speed of the feed is altered by varying the position of the friction-discs B', B<2> relatively to the discs B, B<3> by means of the quadrant K<1>, worked by the worm L and the hand-wheel L'. The stop O limits this swinging motion, and thus the maximum speed, by abutting against the extension N of the bed J. A lever may also be used, having dog teeth working over a quadrant rack and interlocking with it by means of a thumb or click lever, holes being provided for a stop-bolt as before.

The cylindrical oil reservoir D, Fig. 1, has a slide B, the top A of which has projections a'. The slide is made, as described in the above-mentioned Specification, out of solid metal, bored out so as to leave two rings connected by side pieces which are given a spring action by splitting the lower ring. The slides B are sprung over snugs formed in the side of the oil reservoir; but pins or screws may be used to prevent their withdrawal. The slide B may be stamped from sheet metal, as shown in Fig. 3, and then rolled into shape, as in Fig. 7, in which Figure a knob b<4> is shown. The projections a' may be made separate and sprung over the slide, or the top A may be stamped out separately with piercings to receive the ears or projections formed on the slide. In other modifications of the construction, a cap or slide cover C, Fig. 20, is used, which is formed with the projections a<1>, or these may be formed on the stamped-out slide and be adapted to engage the slots c' of the cover C ; the slide may also be drawn out of the blank and the slots and oil passages be formed before or after the process of drawing. In Fig. 23, the stamped-out blank is shown formed so that the lower part of the slide forms a split ring b<5> from which an arm, or arms, b<6> carries the cover A'. Withdrawal of the slides may also be prevented by shouldered or turnedover edges, which may be screwed into the oil reservoir, the edges of the slide B being shouldered to correspond. In some cases, the slots of the slides may be dispensed with, while the slides bearing the projections a<1>, which are preferably two in number and oppositely placed, may be constructed to slide over or within the oil reservoir.

Granted: 1906-09-06
Abstract: 18,788. McAlear, J. Sept. 18. Heating buildings.-Relates to a steam heating- system in which the use of ordinary radiator air valves is avoided, the air being removed from the radiators without discharging into the atmosphere. The radiators are provided with drip openings and constricted passages, through which only air and a relatively small quantity of steam are conducted, leading from the supply pipes to the drip openings. Two forms of the heating-system are shown. As shown in Fig. 1, exhaust steam from an engine 3 or live steam from a boiler 2 is led by a pipe 5 to the radiators 6. The outlets of the radiators communicate with a common pipe 10, which leads to an exhaust pump 11<1> either directly, or indirectly through a cooling-tank 23 or a receiver 13. The pipe 10 is provided with a valve 20, which, when closed, causes the vapour or discharge from the drip openings to pass by valve-controlled pipes to the cooling or condensing tank 23. The tank 23 may be utilized as an indirect radiator coil. When another valve in the pipe 10 is closed and the valve 20 opened, the vapour passes through valve-controlled pipes to the receiving-tank 13, which is provided with a pipe 17 open to the atmosphere, an air-valve 16, and a pipe 18 leading to the supply pipe 5. As shown in Fig. 2, steam from a boiler 38 passes to a coil 40 consisting of two heaters connected by a pipe 41 having a partition wall or diaphragm and restricted opening, as described in Specification No. 18,788, A.D. 1905. The return pipe 42 communicates, as previously described, with a cooling-tank and receiver and also has a branch 44 leading to a nozzle 46 located in a shaft.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Controllers
Inventor: DURKIN JOHN PATRICK
Filed: 1906-06-19
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 14,073. Durkin, J. P. Jan. 8, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches.-In electric motor-controllers, to delay the forward movement of the handle while allowing a free reverse' movement, the upper end of the controller shaft 1, Fig. 2, is fitted, outside the casing 2, with a disk or hood 4 firmly attached by means of a set-screw 5 and having in its underside a circular channel 7, Fig. 1, with zigzag portions formed of opposed and alternating teeth 8, 9. The projections 8 have inclined V-shaped faces, while the other set of projections 9 are of serrated form. A ball 12 plays in the groove, and is also constrained by a cam or groove 13 of approximately U-shape formed in a piece 11 fixed to the controller casing. The groove 13 is inclined to the horizontal, so that the ball lies normally at the bend 10, Fig. 1. When the handle is turned in the direction of the arrow, the ball is first pushed by one of the teeth 8 to the position shown, where it jams against the flat side of the succeeding outer tooth, the movement being then necessarily checked and the ball allowed to roll back to the bend. During reverse movement of the handle, there is no jamming, the ball riding freely along the inclines of the teeth 9. In the modification shown in Figs. 4 and 6, a different form of fixed groove is used, the shape being a continuous closed curve with a raised part 13<a>, which has the effect of making the ball travel round and round, the checking action being similar. A dome-like part 3 of the cap 4 covers the top of the controller shaft, and serves to exclude water. The handle 6 has a socket loose over the dome, and a lug 6b which drives a projection 4<a> of the cap.
