Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Cutting Globoid Worms.
Inventor: COLLIER ARTHUR THOMAS
Filed: 1907-07-05
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 15,531. Collier, A. T. July 5. [Cognate Application No. 1447, A.D. 1908, dated Jan. 21.] Polishing.-A machine for cutting and polishing worms comprises a frame having two rotatable shafts n, e, Fig. 1, carrying a worm-blank p and a master worm d, the latter meshing with a wormwheel or segment b carrying a rotary cutter or polishing-bob y by means of a slide x adjustable radially on the worm-wheel according to the pitch of the worm cut. Further variation is provided for by change-wheels k connecting the shafts n, e, and by varying the number of wheels in this train a master worm of either hand can be arranged to cut both right- and left-handed worms. The shaft e may be driven by a pulley g, by spur or other positive gearing, by a weighted cord and drum, or by a spring. In the two last-mentioned cases, a stop is provided for arresting the motion when the thread being polished is finished. The bob shaft is spur-geared to a belt pulley so arranged that, when the slide n is in its central position, it is approximately in axial line with the wheel b. In a modification, the axis of cutter or bob y, instead of being parallel to the axis of the wheel b, is at an inclination to corresponding to the average inclination of the threads. In further modifications, the slide x is provided with swivel mountings for the bob spindle. The wheel b may be provided with two or more bobs arranged to polish simultaneously all the threads of a multiple-threaded worm, or to act successively on the thread of a single-threaded worm.

Title: Improvements in Saw Filing and Setting Machines.
Inventor: ARNEY SIDNEY EDWARD
Filed: 1908-01-27
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 1826. Arney, S. E. Jan. 26, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Saws, sharpening and setting.-In a machine for filing and setting saws, the saw blade is held between a rest 7 and a pivoted clamp 9, which is automatically withdrawn from the blade to permit the feed by a cam-operated lever 17 connected to a rod 16 embracing an extension from the clamp, and returned by a spring. The feed of the saw is produced by a lip carried by a lever 58 operated by a cam 59, the cams being outwardly adjustable by setscrews or replaced by cams of different thickness according to the pitch of the teeth. The teeth are projected the desired amount by slotted stops 11, 12 fixed by screws to the rest 7. The file 31 is clamped in a holder 30 pivoted at 28 to a slide 25 moving in guides 26, which carry a grooved plate 34 engaging with a finger 36 connected to the file-holder for withdrawing the file in the inoperative stroke. The finger, Fig. 4, is deflected into the groove 35 by a lip 37 and has inclined shoulders 40, 41, 42 to ensure the movement of the file to its correct positions. The shaft 5, which is hand or power driven and operates the clamping, feeding, and reciprocating mechanism also through gearing 53, 51 and a jointed bar 50, operates a notched saw-setter eitherby means of pivoted pawls 48 engaging recesses in the setter or by allowing the latter to come in contact with the ends of a slot in the bar 50.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Excavators.
Inventor: GLOGNER ROBERT
Filed: 1908-02-21
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 3959. Glogner, R. Feb. 21. Excavating.-In an excavator of the type in which the tool for separating the earth and a band conveyer for carrying separated earth to the transport vessels are arranged on a jib adapted to oscillate in the vertical direction, the separating-tool consists of a wheel provided with buckets. In the form shown, the excavator is carried on a truck 4 running on rails 3, which are carried on a truck 2 running on rails 1 at right-angles to the rails 3. A double jib frame 7 pivoted on a spindle 6 carries in bearings a wheel 10 provided with buckets 11. This bucket-wheel is driven in the direction of the arrow I by chain gearing. The jib 7 is raised and lowered as required by a chain 32. The material excavated by the buckets falls on a conveyer comprising a wide endless band 26, supported by endless cables and having transverse ledges 28 to prevent material from sliding down when the band is greatly inclined. The band is carried by rollers on a frame 21, one end of which is pivoted on the spindle 6, the other end being rigidly but adjustably connected to the jib 7 by a rod 29 so that the bucket-wheel and conveyer oscillate together. Excavated material is delivered by the conveyer to a shoot 30 leading to transport trucks 31.

Title: Improvements in Means or Apparatus for Indicating and/or Measuring the Vibrations in or of a Body.
Inventor: FULLARTON HUGH NIGEL
IPC: G01H13/00
Filed: 1909-03-17
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 6373. Fullarton, H. N. March 17. Vibrations, indicating.-Means for measuring the vibrations set up in a body, such as a turbine, comprise a metal reed adjustable both in length and position and secured to the body so that forced vibrations are imparted to it, the maximum amplitude of such vibrations giving a measure of the vibrations of the body. The metal reed 1 is fixed at one end by a screw 4 and brackets 2, which are secured to a frame 3 carrying two micrometer gauges 7 or a scale. The free end of the reed lies between the gauges, or in front of the scale, so that the amplitude of its vibrations can be measured. The free length of the reed is adjusted by a nut 10 slidably mounted in the frame 3, and regulated in position by a screw 8, a vernier 12 and a scale 11 being provided. The manner in which the nut 10 engages the reed 1 is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the clamping-means comprising a projection 13 and a frame 15, which is pressed by a spring 17 and controlled by a screw 18. A rearward extension 19 of the frame 3 is mounted in a bracket 20, so that it can be turned about a horizontal axis, and the bracket 20 is mounted in a carrier 21 so that it can rotate about a vertical axis, scales 22, 23 registering these two movements. A jaw 24 is provided on the carrier by which it may be bolted to the vibrating body. The formation of an air cushion or film between the end of the reed and the end of the gauge spindle is obviated by providing a hole leading into a bored-out portion of the spindle, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. A steel reed is preferred, but another metal or an alloy may be employed where the apparatus is subject to a magnetic field. The brackets 2 may be adjustably mounted.

Title: Improvements in Mechanical Hydraulic Air Pumps.
Inventor: LEWIS PERRY
IPC: F04B39/00
Filed: 1909-05-25
Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 12,357. Lewis, P. May 25. Diaphragm valves; check valves.-In pumps in which air is displaced by water under pressure which is then exhausted, the supply and exhaust of the water are controlled by valves operated by the pressure of the water in different compartments of the pump chamber. The pump casing is divided by a flexible diaphragm 25 into two compartments, into the lower of which, A, the water enters by a pipe 3. The upper compartment is again divided by a funnel-shaped partition 15 into two compartments B, C. The lower edge of the partition 15 is formed as two seatings b, c for a valve 20 carried by the diaphragm 25. Between the seatings b, c is the opening to the exhaust passage 22. To the diaphragm 25 is attached a rod 31, of which the lower end serves as a valve to close the inlet by which water enters the compartment A. The upper end of this rod, on being raised, presses a flexible diaphragm 43, which serves as an inlet valve, against a seating surrounding the inlet opening 5, and also closes a relief opening 45 in the diaphragm 43. On water being admitted to the compartment A, it raises the diaphragm 25, thus pressing the valve 20 against the seatings b, c and closing the air inlets 5 and the opening 45. It then passes into the compartment B and over the top of the partition 15 into the compartment C and accumulating there depresses the diaphragm 25, thus closing the water inlet and opening the air inlet and the exhaust. When the compartments B, C are empty, the pressure of the water remaining in the trunk 26 attached to the diaphragm 25 raises the diaphragm again, thus completing the cycle of operations. The air outlet is furnished with a valve consisting of a rubber diaphragm 39 held down by a weight 40. The valve rests on a seating 52 furnished with air passages and slightly depressed, so that the air passages may not be closed by the weight.
