Title: Machine for Machining Screw-heads.
Inventor: WEBER GUSTAV
IPC: B23G9/00
Filed: 1910-07-05
Granted: 1911-07-05
Abstract: 16,073. Weber, G. July 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Disk, wheel, and roller apparatus.-The heads of wood-screws are machined by grinding and the sharp edge produced is removed by turning. A screw blank is held at each end of four rotary spindles arranged in pairs on either side of rocking frames carrying the grinding-wheels. Blanks are delivered from a hopper 72, Figs. 6 and 12, to a channel 73 which delivers alternately to channels 74, 75 as controlled by gates 76, 77 linked at 78 and controlled by a spring 79 and cam 81. In case of obstruction, the cam moves axially on its shaft against a spring 83. Each of the ways 74, 75 branches into two channels 87, 88, Fig. 8, and the blanks are distributed alternately by an oscillating member 84 to fall into channels 90, 91 normally maintained, in the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 6, clear of the chucks and grinding-wheels. To insert the blanks into the chucks, the channels are rocked forwards, and plungers 98 advance the blanks. The channels have bevelled projections at their ends to compensate for the thickness of the heads and cause the blanks to enter the chucks in an horizontal position. The channels are yieldingly mounted at 104 to enable them to clear the heads on the return. The blank-carrying spindles 20<a>, Fig. 14, are hollow and have ends slotted to receive jaws a and reduced for cam sleeves 20 splined at 29<a> to actuating sleeves connected to the spindles by inclined grooves and pins and traversed by linkage from a cam shaft. Springs d normally hold the chucks closed. Blanks inserted into the chucks repress spring ejectors f, which operate immediately upon the opening of the chucks. A. pair of frames 2, Figs. 3 and 5, are mounted on axially-alined rock-shafts 3 and are controlled by linkage 37, 38, 39, 42, 50, 51 and cams 44 and 54 to give a rapid movement up to the work and a slow movement while grinding. Screws 52 provide adjustable control of the point at which the slow feed begins. To relieve the tools from the work during the withdrawal, the shafts 3, normally held in position by cams, are moved axially by springs. The tools 64 for removing the sharp edges are mounted in levers controlled at 67 by the cam shaft. The parts 1 of the frame carrying the bearings for the shafts 3 are adjustable at 55, 56 to enable the grinding- wheels to be set to act equally on the two blanks notwithstanding the reduction in their diameter due to wear. The grinding-wheels 4, 5, Fig. 3, are co-axially mounted on flanged caps 7 constituting the ends of shafts 6. Relative axial adjustment is permitted by sleeves 16 clamped at 17. The wheels 5 are provided with lead backings 45, Fig. 4, and are clamped to rings 14 by set-screws and sectors 13. The rings 14 are attached to the flanges of the sleeves 16 by setscrews and key-hole slots 19, Fig. 5, to enable the wheels 5 to be changed readily when the wheels 4 become too much reduced in diameter for proper co-operation.

Patent GB-191111450-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Explosion Pumps.
Filed: 1911-05-11
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 11,450. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. May 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Direct explosion apparatus. - An internalcombustion pump of the type in which a surging column of liquid returns into the combustion chamber to compress the fresh combustible charge is caused to operate upon a cycle in which each movement of the water column is directly caused by a separate explosion. This is effected by providing four combustion chambers 1, 2, 3, 4 in pairs at opposite ends of a play pipe 5. Each chamber operates on a fourstroke cycle comprising explosion, scavenging, drawing-in of fresh charge, and compression. Assuming that an explosion occurs in chamber 1, the water therein is forced into the pipe 5, the valves 6 being held shut, whereupon the rush of water causes a fresh charge to be drawn into the chamber 2, and, at the other end of the play pipe 5, products of combustion are expelled from the chamber 3 and a fresh charge compressed in the chamber 4. The remaining body of water is discharged through the valves 7 into the delivery pipe 12, fresh water being drawn in behind the water column through the valves 8. An explosion now occurs in the chamber 4, and a similar series of actions occurs in the other chambers, water being discharged through the valves 6 and drawn in through the valves 9. The cycle of operations is thus repeated in rotation in the various chambers. To prevent water from escaping from the valves 6, 7 after explosions have occurred in the adjacent chambers, an auxiliary spring-controlled valve 13, Fig. 6, is fitted in front of these valves, the strength of the spring being sufficient to hold the valve open against the rush of water from the opposite end of the play pipe, but not to hold it open against the pressure produced by an explosion in an adjacent chamber. In order to economize space, the pipe 5 may be bent round through 180 degrees and the four combustion chambers thus brought close together. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the statements (1) that the valve gear for closing the valves 6, 7 or the equivalent may be dispensed with, (2) that the double chambers at the opposite ends of the play pipe may be replaced by single two-stroke-cycle chambers, (3) that the apparatus may be used for pumping air, (4) that the play pipe may be arranged in such a manner as to prevent sudden changes in the direction of flow of the liquid in entering such pipe. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
