Inventor: HARTWELL GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: B23G5/08
Filed: 1912-01-15
Granted: 1913-01-15
Abstract: 1133. Hartwell, G. W. Jan. 15. Stocks and dies; screwing dies and die-heads.- A die stock, for hand or machine use, has means whereby the dies are released automatically after a certain length of stock has been screwed, and means to adjust the opening of the dies. The stock or head is slotted on its under side at E to hold the dies F or die holders G which have projections O passing through slots Q in the stock and engaging cam grooves in a cam-plate D fitting a recess in the upper side of the stock. The dies are held in the stock by a cover-plate having a guiding cylinder L attached to it, while the cam ring is secured by an angle-piece Q screwed into the stock. Secured to the cam plate is a ring R having a handle T whereby the plate is rotated to close the dies, and fitting into a recess in this ring is a stop-plate V held down by a spring W fitting between the plate and a collar Y on a projection X from the stock. This projection is slotted at Z to engage two pins projecting from a cap-piece a secured to the stop-plate and covering the spring, and thus prevents the stop-plate from rotating. A bolt k carrying an indicator is capable of adjustment along a slot in the stopplate to adjust the opening of the dies, and at its lower end is adapted to fit a hole in the ring R when the dies are closed. A gauge bolt c is secured through the cap a, and after the required length of bolt is screwed, this gauge bolt is lifted, thus raising the cap and stop-plate until the bolt g is withdrawn from the ring R, whereupon a spring e rotates the ring and camplate to open the dies, which are again reset by rotating the ring until the bolt g engages the hole in the ring. The dies are so constructed as to form a full thread at one cutting operation.

Abstract: 7942. Guiot, A. March 1, [Convention date]. Composite springs; connexions, attachments, and adjustments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.-Relates to vehicle shock-absorbers in which the damping action is produced by the relative motion of cam-shaped members and spring-controlled members coacting therewith, and consists in interposing rollers between the coacting surfaces to reduce the friction which opposes the relative motion between the members. In the form described, a bracket 1, Fig. 1, on the frame 3 carries a fixed roller 4 and a roller 5 mounted on a pin, of which the ends pass through slots 6 in the bracket and are mounted in a fork member 7 actuated by a helical spring 10 in compression. Between the rollers slides a cam-member 13 connected to the axle 14 directly or through any suitable linkage, the lower portion of the cam having straight parallel sides, and the upper portion two straight divergent sides. The rollers engage the lower portion of the cam during normal yielding of the suspension, but if the normal limit of the yielding is passed, the cam engages the upper portion and through the movable roller 5 compresses the spring 10 and increases the braking action. The cam-surface may be of any form, and any number of cams, placed between the same, or between different pairs of rollers, may be employed.

According to the invention, the fitting-up of such apparatus is facilitated by employing a case 1, Fig. 2, having apertures along one side over which insulating coverplates 6, 7, 8 are fastened to form a close joint, the terminals 13, 14, 15 of the conductors of the multi-core cable 2 being led through the covers and connected up outside to fuse-clips 19. The cable-casing consists of a top 1<a>, bottom 1<a1> through which the cable is introduced, and apertured side, the top being continued in the form of a tube 37. The cable is surrounded by a removable sheet of insulation bent into U- form 1<b> and secured to the side 1, and the enclosure is filled through the tube 37 with insulation. In the form shown, applied to a number of three-core cables, the outer neutral conductor 3 is connected to a bus-bar 33 by the clamp terminal 13, which passes through the lowest aperture and through the cover-plate 6, the latter being secured by screws to the case with intermediate packing 10 to give a close joint. The middle conductor is connected to one of the clip-contacts 19 of a bridge-carrier fuse by the clamp 14, which passes through the cover-plate 7 similarly secured to the case 1. The cover-plate has walls 18 which project above the contacts and are shaped as shown. The fuses 26 are tubular, and secured to the carrier 30 by screws 28.
