Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gear for Turning Lathes.
Inventor: KIRKWOOD DAVID
IPC: B23Q5/14
Filed: 1909-08-26
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 19,579. Kirkwood, D. Aug. 26. [Cognate Application, 2930/10.] Turning.-Variable-speed gearing of the kind comprising gear-wheels of different sizes driven from a central pinion and carried by a disk which can be turned so as to bring the wheels into action alternatively is applied to drive the tool-feed shaft of a turning-lathe by way of the main spindle. A headstock I, Fig. 2, supports the lathe spindle R and a parallel spindle C. A pulley B driven by a belt is loose upon the shaft C and is secured to the central piuion A of this gearing. Gears D, D' secured together in pairs are supported on studs E carried by a cage F<1>, which is secured to the spindle C. The gears D are always in mesh with the pinion A, and, by turning a hand-wheel O, any of the gears D' can be brought into mesh with a wheel Q loosely mounted on the spindle R. There is a clutch sleeve T in sliding connexion with the gear Q and a gear V secured to the shaft R. The shaft R is driven from the gear Q directly when the sleeve T is slid to the right into engagement with clutch teeth V<1> on the gear V. The gear V meshes with a pinion X secured to a sleeve H which is loose upon an eccentric sleeve K upon the spindle C. Two reduced drives may be communicated to the gear V by way of the gears L, M, which are loose upon the sleeve H and able to be connected thereto alternatively by a double clutch N. During the direct drive, the gears L, M, and X are entirely disconnected by turning the sleeve K. The application to the tool-feed shaft is shown in Fig. 3. The central pinion a may be driven from the shaft R of Fig. 2. A gear j on the feed shaft j<1> is the element driven alternatively by the movable gear-wheels.

Seaming.-In order temporarily to secure the top or bottom to the body of a can before delivering to a crimping, soldering, or doubleseaming machine, the top or bottom 3 is partly curled about the edge of the can body 1 in the machine shown in Fig. 1. The bodies 1 are carried by a belt 2, and pass below a second belt 4, Fig. 2, carrying tops 3 which are knocked off on to the bodies by a star-wheel 5 and guide 7. The belt carries the cans between half-moulds 16, Figs. 1 and 3, which are moved at the same speed as the belt by their carriers 8. The carriers 8 form a chain running over wheels 11 and supported by rollers 9 running on a track 10 and by rollers 34 carried by the framing. The half-moulds 16 are spring mounted on slides 15, Fig. 8, which, by means of rollers 30 engaging the track 37, Fig. 3, close on the cans and hold them by means of spring supports 21. The wheel 25, Fig. 1, then presses down the half-moulds on to the lid, and the rollers 31 force them together, thus curling the edge of the lid by means of the groove 18. A steel pad in two parts 50, Fig. 11, dovetailed to slide in the half-moulds 16 and pressed together by springs 51, engages in the depression of the lid and prevents buckling. The halfmoulds &c. are then moved apart by the rollers 30 engaging the track 33, and the cans are carried by the belt 2 to the next machine.

Time and cost, computing.-In job recorders of the type provided with a ticket-marking device and a time - operated ticket - gauging device, so that on inserting the ticket before and after operation the elapsed time can be determined from the marks on the ticket, the gauging - device consists of a cylinder or disk 5 provided with a spiral rib 15 against which the ticket is pressed or preferably upon which a notch 51 in the ticket is placed. The cylinder is housed in a casing 2 formed with an opening 28 for the insertion of and with a table 25 having guides 29 for supporting the ticket. The ticket punching or marking device 43 is carried by a pillar 40, and is adapted to mark the ticket at 52 and 53, the mark 52 being made at the time of starting. Scales 55, 56 showing respectively the times at which the punch marks were made and the elapsed time may be provided on the ticket, the beginning of the scale 55 being opposite the punch at the hour of starting and that of the scale 56 opposite the notch 51. By placing the notch 53 upon the gauging-rib and operating the punch, the elapsed time is shown by the punch mark 57 on the scale 56. In a modification, a blank ticket is provided, and the elapsed time may be printed thereon by placing the notch 52 upon a fixed stop and depressing a printing-platen. To eliminate idle time, such as meal times, a portion 15<a> of a gauging rib is of circular form as shown in Fig. 9, the ticket being graduated correspondingly. The gauging-notch 51 may be dispensed with by forming a duplicate gauging-rib on the cylinder, the distance apart of the ribs being equal to the width of the ticket.
