Patent GB-191207928-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Clutches Operated by Electro-magnetic Coils.
Inventor: RICHARDS GEORGE
IPC: F16D27/00
Filed: 1912-04-02
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 7928. Richards, G. April 2. Clutches, friction. -Relates to electromagnetically-operated band friction clutches. One shaft C carries a block A, in which is inserted a solenoid B. A loose plate D has pins E engaging levers F secured to studs G carried loosely by a sleeve H on the other shaft R. Pins M eccentrically mounted in the studs G are connected by adjustable links N to the ends of bands J provided with wood blocks K. When the coil is excited, the plate D is drawn into frictional contact with the block A, and the levers E are rotated, thus engaging the clutch. If the shaft It is the driver, centrifugal force keeps the bands in the disengaged position, but if the shaft C is the driver, the levers F are returned by springs. A cover I excludes dust.

Abstract: 13,102. Chandler, D. L. June 4. Bristles, fixing.-Each doubled tuft is pushed loop foremost through one of the holes in the stock 15, its ends projecting from either face of the stock, into the mouth of a holder or tube 18 internally chamfered to remove the burr. Dies 23 then constrict the forward end of the tube and also form spurs on opposite sides thereof, to retain the tuft. When the holder is longer than the hole in the stock, the portion holding the bristles is cut off, and the tuft-holder is then forced by a driver 29 into the hole which is correspondingly shaped. A backing-plate is added. The method may be carried out by means of the machine described in Specification 13,101/12.

Abstract: 13,382. Ventris, F. W., and Clarke, H. R. Sept. 9. Engraving.-Relates to a machine for copying designs on an enlarged or reduced scale in wood, metal, and other materials, in which two rods l pivoted on a vertical spindle m carry, by means of adjustable boxes k, p, rods j, q supporting the cutters and tracing-points respectively. The boxes k, p consist of two parts pivoted together and adjustable, for varying the size of the design, on the rods l, j, q. The vertical spindle m is carried by a slide n adjustable on longitudinal slides c supported on pillars b. The slides c also carry a transverse slide d, in which slides a block e supporting the journal g for the cutter spindle n. The templet or design is secured to a fixed table v. The work may be cut similar to the pattern by securing it to a table u longitudinally slidable on slides y and raised by a lever x and cams w. A reversed copy is obtained by securing the work to a hinged table s above the cutter spindle, which may carry the cutter at either end. When cutting designs on a flat surface, the cutter sleeve f is fixed to the journal g by a set-screw. When cutting a curved surface, the set-screw is loosened and a pin on the journal g engaging a transverse curved bar causes the cutter to rise and fall. A spring assists the cutter to rise.

Abstract: 6053. Poole, F. A. March 11. Differential speed indicators.-Relates to apparatus for indicating the average rate of motion of a vehicle, or the average rate of consumption of electric current or power, or air or water flow. At each moment, the total movement is divided logarithmically by the total time since the movement began, and the result is shown. A spindle driven by the vehicle, meter, &c. is connected to a spindle 16 carrying a cam drum 18 having a groove 19 adapted to engage and drive a pin 20 on a drum 6 proportionally to the logarithm of the movement of the spindle 16.

Casings, cams, or pivoted hammers are arranged so as to restore to their inactive position any transfer pins which may be accidentally protruded before the numeral-drums reach their transfer positions, or to prevent such protrusion. The locking-ring 7 provided with wedge-shaped projections 7<1> is capable of rotating above the geometrical axis of the shaft of the numeraldrums 1, being guided by pins 24 and controlled by springs 19. The projections 7<1> engage with one of the notches 9 in the transfer teeth 6 and hold them in the active or inactive position. To move radially inwards transfer teeth accidentally extruded, for example, by the engagement of the slides (not shown) with their inner enlarged ends, the restoring-cams 17 are provided with additional inclined surfaces 17'. A casing may, however, be provided entirely surrounding the periphery of the numeral-drums, with the exception of that portion adjacent to the actuating-disk where the pin on the transferactuating disk engages with the extruded tooth.
