Title: Improvements in Machines for Manufacturing Horseshoe Nails.
Inventor: MUSTAD HANS CLARIN HOVIND
IPC: B21G3/32
Filed: 1909-10-27
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 24,694. Mustad, H. C. H. Oct. 27. Forging nails; shearing-adjuncts.-In a machine for cold-forging horseshoe nails, the rod is yieldingly held during forging independently of the feeding- means, so that any inequality of hardness of the metal affecting the length hammered out will be allowed for without altering the amount of the feed and thus causing mis-shaped beads. The feed mechanism consists of a cam-operated and spring. returned pivoted lever 4, carrying a fixed gripper 6 and a spring-pressed gripper 7, which is released periodically by a cam-actuated rod 9. The holding- means consists of a similar pivoted lever 24, springs 22, 23 at each side of which return it to normal position when the rod 1 is freed from the dies 2. By this means the backward movement of the rod caused by the hammering-out is taken up and returned by the work-holder, so that the feeding- means can always feed forward a constant length to the cutter 3 without varying the distance of the cut X, Fig. 3, from the point where the tapering commences.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Polyphase Electric Series Motors.
IPC: H02K27/14
Filed: 1910-04-26
Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 10,172. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke], April 26. Alternating-current commutator machines.- In reversing polyphase series motors, with or without special exciting-windings on the stator, the direction of rotation of the main field is reversed simultaneously with reversal of the armature rotation, so that the main field and the armature have always the same direction of rotation. Fig. 1 shows a motor without a special exciting-winding, as described in Specification 21,540/09, with three stator windings I, II, III, and having the brushes moved through an angle a from the neutral position. The motor may be reversed, Fig. 2, by shifting the brushes to the other side of the neutral axis and by changing the connexions of the supply mains to two of the stator windings. The brushes may be kept stationary, and the motor reversed by altering the connexions of the windings I, II, III, as shown in Fig. 4. The magnetic axis of the stator windings is thereby shifted through 60 electrical degrees. If the angle a in Fig. 1 is 20 electrical degrees, the angle of the brushes after reversal equals 40 electrical degrees, and thus two different speeds may be obtained, say for cranes &c. A motor having separate exciting and compensating windings and fixed brushes may be reversed by reversing the currents in the exciting-windings, and simultaneously changing the connexion of the supply conductors to two of the phases. Specification 9638/08 is referred to.

Abstract: 10,353. McHardy, R. H. April 27. Player-pianos; blowing and exhausting air; treadles; winding-mechanism.-The bottom door of a player-piano is removable and carries the exhaust bellows 4,.the equalizing-bellows 33, the governor 45 for the motor, and a wind-chest 2 in which are arranged valves 56, 58 for cutting- off the action and connecting the motor directly to the wind-chest respectively, during the rewinding of the tune-sheet. The treadles 5 are mounted on a hinged platform 10, which can be folded up flush with the bottom-door. The exhaust bellows 4 are connected to the wind-chest by ports covered by flap-valves, and to the atmosphere by valves 28 mounted on springs 30. The pneumatic action is connected through a pipe 35 and chamber 36 to the wind-chest 2. The motor is connected to the wind-chest 2 through a pipe 38, chamber 40, port 44, and a port 52 which is controlled by a valve 53 connected to the moving-board of the governor bellows 45. The bellows 45 are controlled by a spring 46 which bears against the stop-piece 47 mounted on the wind-chest. Before re-winding the tunesheet, air is admitted to the chambers 54, 54<a>, so closing the valve 56 and opening the valve 58. The pneumatic action is thus cut off from the wind-chest and the motor is directly connected to the wind-chest through the port 59. The treadles 5 carry pins 16 passing through slots 21 in hoops 18. The connecting rods 7, which are pivoted to the moving boards of the bellows and pass through the hoops 18, are provided with notches 7<a> which normally engage the pins 16. To fold up the treadles, the pins 16 are disengaged from the notches 7<a>, permitting the hoops 18 to slide on the rods 7 until the treadles 5 contact with the stops 25. The platform 10 may then be folded up into a recess in the bottom door, the support 14 folding down against the platform 10.

Abstract: 20,957. Soc. Anon. Ateliers H. CuÚnod. Sept. 13, 1909, [Convention date]. Fluid relays. - In a fluid relay, shown as controlling an electric switch, a slide valve 9 is constantly rotated, and is raised or lowered according as a valve 8<1> allows fluid under pressure to escape from the chamber 9<9> slower or faster than it enters such chamber, the valve 8<1> being prevented from rotating along with the valve 9, and being connected through a lever 7 to an apparatus sensitive to changes in voltage, current, power, or speed &c. of the system to be regulated, the lever 7 being connected to the relay motor 11 through a device for preventing over-regulation. The valve 9 is rotated by gearing 9<18>, 16 from the driving-shaft of a centrifugal pump 10, which forces a liquid into the space 13<1> and thence through holes 9<6> into the interior of the valve 9. Some of the liquid passes through the hole 9<10> into the chamber 9<9>, and serves to operate the valve 9. When the valve 9 is lowered, liquid under pressure passes through the port 9<16> and passage 11<7> to one side of a vane 11<3> in a circular casing 11, and escapes from the other side of the vane through ports (not shown) into the upper end of the valve 9 and into the casing, thus causing the arm 4 to be rotated and the necessary regulation effected. When the valve 9 is raised, liquid can escape through the passage 11<7> and port 9<17> from one side of the vane 11<3>, and is admitted through ports (not shown) to the other side of the vane, causing the arm 4 to be rotated in the reverse direction. For preventing overregulation, a pinion 18 acting through a sector, a lever, a dash-pot, flat springs 18<2>, 18<3>, and a spring 18<5>, tends to bring the lever 7 back into its normal position after the arm 4 has been moved consequent on the first movement of the lever 7 and valve 8<1>. The springs 18<2>, 18<3> are perforated at intervals for the reception of a resilient distance-piece 18<6>.

Abstract: 25,229. Kennedy, D. S. April 25, [Convention date]. Assembling matrices; driving-mechanism.-In machines having a number of moulds, means is provided (1) for adjusting the descent of the first elevator to permit of the use of matrices of different sizes or styles, and (2) for stopping the machine through mechanism similar to that described in Specification 14,582/90, if the elevator does not descend to the full extent or if the proper mould is not presented to the matrices. (1) The elevator N is provided with a stop-screw B arranged to contact with the top of the main frame A and to arrest the descent of the elevator. A pinion C on the screw engages a gear-wheel D on a rotatable disk E having a knurled head F. Notches in the disk E are engaged by a spring latch G to hold the screw B in adjusted position. (2) The machine is stopped by a bar a<12> which controls the main driving-clutch and is connected to a lever a<22> adapted to be acted on by a bar a<23> which can rock and move vertically. The bar a<23> is supported by a spring a<24>, and its upper end is adapted to be depressed by a set-screw I on the elevator. When the elevator descends to its full extent, an arm a<26> on the bar a<23> comes opposite to a hole in a plate J carried by the mould-disk through which the arm passes when the mould moves up to the matrices. If the elevator fails to descend fully, the plate J strikes the arms a<26> and stops the machine. The plate J is pressed by a spring into contact with a projection K on the mould or its keeperplate. If the proper mould is not brought into use, the hole in the plate fails to register with the arm a<26> and the machine is stopped. When the mould moves forwards in the ejecting position, the stoppage of the machine is prevented by a projection n on the elevator which acts through a lever P to depress the bar a<23>.
