Abstract: 12,328. Smith, H. June 6. [Cognate, Application No. 15,187, A.D. 1908, dated July 17.] Drilling.-The halves of feed-nuts e, adapted to permit quick withdrawal of the drill, are held in correct alinement by screws i engaging slotted strips h in grooves h<1>, and are normally pressed apart by helical springs. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the half-nuts are pressed together by means of projections g to engage the drill screw b. The pressure of the drill on the work causes wedge surfaces e<1> of the nut to engage similar surfaces in the nut box c, and the nut is held in engagement until the pressure on the drill point is released, when the springs force the half-nuts apart. In a modification, shown in Figs. 5 and 6, tee-headed slides h engage recesses in the bottom half-nut and grooves in both half-nuts. A wedge l passed through slots in the slides and engaging a projection m moves the half-nuts into engagement. The wedge l has two angles of inclination to give a rapid engagement and a secure grip, and engages grooves n in the box to keep the nut out of contact with the sides of the box.

Patent GB-190814589-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Trimming and Cutting Lengths of Cloth or other Material.
Inventor: DENISON FRANK WINDSOR
Filed: 1908-07-09
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 14,589. Denison, F. W. July 9. Cutting - machines for fabrics.-In a machine for cutting rubbered duck or other fabric into strips, or for trimming the edges, the material is cut while passing over a guide-roller on which it is held closely, and means are provided for compensating for irregular winding of the material on the winding - off roll. The material is led from a roll 1 over rolls 22, 28, and over a driven feed-roll 3, on which the material is cut. The material is pressed on the roll 3 by rolls 8, each carried by a lever pivoted upon a fixed rod 6, and pressed upon the roll 3 by a spring 12. The material is cut by knives 16, which are situated immediately in front of the pressure rolls, and are mounted on a fixed rod 7 so that they can be placed in or out of operation and also adjusted along the rod 7. A bevelled stripper 19 removes the cut edges of the material from the roller 3. Encircling the guide-roll 22 is a longitudinally adjustable guide-ring 25, which is carried by a frame 24 and held against the edge of the material by a spring 43. The frame 24 also supports pulleys 32, 33 free to rotate. If the material is not wound upon the roll 1 with its edges in true alinement, the edge-guide 25 and the frame 24 move longitudinally, bringing one of the pulleys 32,33 against a rotating friction disk 35. The pulley 32 is connected with a pulley 37 by a belt, and the pulley 33 is connected with a pulley 38 by a crossed belt, so that the shaft 36 is driven in one or other direction according as one or other of the pulleys 32, 33 is driven by the friction disk 35. By means of a screw 40 the rotation of the shaft causes longitudinal movement of the roll 1, compensating for the irregular winding of the material on the roll, and relieving the pulley 32 or 33 from the friction disk 35. In a modification, Fig. 3, the material is led over tension rolls 46, 47, 48, and the cutters 51 are mounted on a rod 49, which carries a side-guide 52 and rests against a spring 53. Thus a side movement of the fabric is followed by the rod carrying the cutters, and a uniform strip 56 is cut without the necessity of a waste strip.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Aerial Ropeways.
Inventor: WHITE JOSEPH WALWYN
Filed: 1908-11-09
Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 23,991. White, J. W. Nov. 9. Rope railways.- Relates to the saddles or supports of aerial ropeways such as those described in Specifications No. 24,367, A.D. 1905, and Nos. 2145 and 8469, A.D. 1907, and No. 28,286, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Lifting &c.]. In the form of saddle shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the end parts C are formed from steel or other rails of flange or vignoles section. The heads of the rails are grooved to take the rope, and their outer ends are bent downwards so that the rope is clear when no load is passing. As the load approaches, the rope gradually comes down on to the rail end, thus avoiding any tendency to form a quick bend or kink in the rope. The plates D carry the wheels over the crown from E to F. In a modification the parts C are formed in two portions, one part forming the permanent support for the fixed rope and the other part forming the extension or secondary support for the depressed rope. In this form, the secondary support may be made from a doubleheaded rail as shown in Fig. 5, or from two bars of angle-iron as in Fig. 4. In the latter form the wheel flanges may engage the angle-irons, or special rims M may be formed on the wheel. If desired, the secondary supports can be continued along each side of the saddle to the rope of the next span. In this case an extra guide-bar is provided on each side of the wheel flanges. In cases where it is desired to carry the anchoring-end of the rope out of the line of the ropeway, a wedge-shaped piece is removed from the web of the vignoles rail, Fig. 2, by cuts inwardly directed from the end of the rail, and the head is then bent in the desired direction.
