Title: Improvements in and relating to Lathe Chucks.
Inventor: HEIDE HENRY CONRAD
Filed: 1903-10-29
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 23,433. Heide, H. C., [Scott & Sons Go.]. Oct. 29. Chucks.-The jaws a of a lathe chuck are arranged to be closed and locked, and the jaw-faces i to be rotated to bring different parts of elbows, tees, &c. into any desired positions, while the lathe-spindle is rotating. Toggle-links care pivoted to the jaws a, and have their outer ends connected by linka b<4> to the chuck head b, and their inner ends engaged between collars on a rod d which passes through to the tail end of the spindle A and is engaged by levers g pivoted in a sleeve f. Surrounding the sleeve f is a grooved sleeve e which can be moved longitudinally by a fork e<5>, a slide e<4> on a rack bar e'‹, a handle e<2>, and a toothed sector e<20>. The spring or springs d<7>, e<14> cause the sleeve f to move with the sleeve e until the work is gripped in the jaws, when balls mounted in the sleeve e run up inclines in the halves of the sleeve f to lock the same on the spindle A, which may thicken slightly towards its tail, end, or up inclines in racks which are thus pressed into engagement with other racks let into the spindle A. Further motion of the sleeve e locks the jaws by causing the levers g to ride up the incline e<12> on to the part e<13> which may be horizontal, parallel with the slightly-tapered spindle, or tapered off slightly towards its rear. Preferably only one of the jaw spindles h is toothed to be engaged by a pawl on a lever k connected with a rod k<4> which can be moved longitudinally by a spring k<6>, a length-adjusting sleeve k<5>, a grooved sleeve m on the chuck neck b<2>, and a forked lever n<2>. The spindle h, or a collar on the same, is notched to receive a spring-pressed locking-pin o which is withdrawn by a spindle p, having upper and lower lever arms, and a pawl on the rod k' during the first part of the motion to the right of the latter, and is then released. Another locking- pin may be used in conjunction with interchangeable collars notched to suit various pieces of work. Balls such as m<3>, in adjustable sockets m<4> and bearing on hardened steel blocks, are fitted in the jaws a, the sleeves m, e and to the jaw spindles h.

Title: Improvements in Carburetters for Internal Combustion Motors.
Inventor: NEWCOMB EDWARD COVERLY
Filed: 1905-10-26
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 21,813. Newcomb, E. C. April 10, [date appliedfor under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. A carburettor, which mixes the air and fuel in definite proportions automatically, has the air and fuel inlets respectively of normally constant area, the variation in the accelerating force acting on the air producing a corresponding variation in the accelerating force acting on the fuel.without producing an aspirating effect on the fuel or setting a column of it in motion. The air enters through an adjustable orifice between the body 46 and the cover 45. A tube 51 with a capillary orifice 54 slides in the cover, and is attached to a flexible diaphragm 48 which is open below to the atmosphere. The suction of the engine piston tends to create a vacuum above the diaphragm and raise it, thus opening the fuel valve 52 and raising the level of the fuel around the orifice 54. The mixing- chamber contains gauze diaphragms and perforated 'plates such as 56, and the action of the vacuum on the diaphragm 48 is controlled by a rotary valve 58. The cover 45 may be provided with an inlet valve instead of perforations.

Abstract: 24,293. Roos, W. Nov. 24. Gas and like engines, igniting in. Means for obtaining the rapid oscillation of an armature used in magneto-electric ignition comprises a cam upon the armature shaft of the magneto adapted to rock two pivoted levers to compress or extend a spring which, in returning, brings back the cam and snap-lever connected to the switch with a. rapid movement. Upon the armature shaft a, Fig. 2, which carries the snap-lever b, is mounted an egg-shaped cam c, which in oscillation moves equally two levers f about the pivots d. The free ends of the levers are provided with bolts g. and eccentrically-arranged journals h, upon which are secured, so as to be adjustable by a movement of the journal, the ends of a tension spring i. If the snap-lever is vibrated by its cam (not shown) the spring is stretched so that, when' the snaplever is suddenly released, it is returned to its original position with a quick movement. In a modification, Fig. 4, pins m at the ends of a T- shaped snap-lever carry rollers n which bear against the outside of the lever f. Between the levers is held supported by pins p a compression spring o. If the snap-lever is vibrated by the usual cam, the springs are stretched or compressed equally at both ends, and, if the snap-lever is suddenly released, the spring returns the lever with a quick movement. An additional spring parallel to the first may be provided.
