Title: Improvements in Machines for Boring and Turning Trenails and the like.
Inventor: COLLET ALBERT
Filed: 1901-01-15
Granted: 1901-04-06
Abstract: 1009. Collet, A. Jan. 15. Boring and drilling; lathes.-A machine for boring and turning wooden blanks, more particularly for converting such blanks into trenails for sleepers, is shown in Figs. 1 and 3 arranged for the turning operation. The bored blank, Fig. 11, is placed between the driving-centres 14, 15 of a pair of headstocks mounted on a bed 1. The headstock 2 can be moved by a lever 16 to accommodate different lengths of billets. The tool slide 8 is moved longitudinally by a crank handle 11 and connecting-rod 13. The tool-carrier 9, on which the hollow cylindrical tool 10 is mounted, slides vertically ou the slide 8, its movement to form the boss 20, Fig. 12, on the finished article being effected by a bar 22, loosely mounted on the slide, on which a set-screw 25 on the carrier 9 rests. At the desired time the bar strikes one of two stops 24, causing an incline on it to raise the tool. The other stop returns the bar. The shape of the tool allows the shaving to pass through it to a passage in the bed of the machine, whence they pass to a suitable receptacle. For boring the blank, the headstocks are replaced by boring- heads, Fig. 4, and the carrier 9 by gripping-jaws 28, 29 operated by a right and left handed screw 30 to centre the blank, the screw being placed in a bush 34<1> forming the pivot of the connecting-rod. The slide is first moved towards the head 2, which has a drill 34, a facing-cutter 35, and a sinking- cutter 36, which forms the recess 37 which afterwards becomes the shoulder 38. The slide is then moved towards the head 3, which forms a conical hole and faces the end.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Raising and Lowering Ships' Boats.
Inventor: WELIN AXEL
Filed: 1901-07-31
Granted: 1902-06-05
Abstract: 15,521. Welin, A. July 31. Boat raising and lowering gear.-In order, with davits free to turn in a vertical plane, to equalize to some extent the power required to launch a boat and that required to hoist it inboard, the tackle is so arranged that, as the davit is lowered, the boat is raised relatively to the upper end of the davit, and vice versÔ. When the movements of the davits a are effected by toothed quadrants b rolling on racks c, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the boat is attached to the lower pulley o, and the hoisting-rope h, secured to the upper pulley p on the top of the davit, passes around the pulley o, to the pulley p, back to the pulley o, then to the pulley p, then over a pulley q fixed to the vessel, then over a pulley r carried by the davit, and is finally fixed to a pin i on the bracket e. Thus, when the davit is turned outwards, the pulley r is moved away from the pin i and the pulley q, and so raises the boat relatively to the end of the davit. By securing the end of the rope, after it has been run over the pulley q, to a pin on the davit, the pulley r may be dispensed with. Figs. 1 and 2 show modifications, while Fig. 5 shows an arrangement of two pulleys s, t for use with a davit a, which is pivoted to the vessel.

Granted: 1904-01-07
Abstract: 11,323. Boult, A. J., [Electric Storage Battery Co.]. May 18. Motors, cnntrolling.-A motor for operating a switch for adding to or cutting out any desired number of cells from a battery is arranged in circuit with a handswitch and a reversing-switch at one place, for example the switchboard, and with an automatic switch near the motor. The motor is preferably a series motor. The automatic switch has contacts 5<a>, 5<b>, 5<c>, 5<d> 5<e>, 5<f>, and a knife bridge 6 ; the reversing - switch for reversing the current in the motor armature M<a> has contacts 12, 13, 14, 15 with blade connectors 19, 20, and the hand-switch bas a contact-blade 24, and another (not shown) at right-angles thereto, which bridge the contacts 24<a>, 24<b> and 23<b>, 23<a> respectively. The polarity of the motor field M<f> is never changed. As shown with the knife 24 bridging the contacts 24<a>, 24<b>, the circuit is completed from a dynamo &c. Q to earth, the conductor l<6>, motor field M <f>, conductor l<13>, contact 23<b>, lamp resistance q<2>, contact 23<a>, contact 13, conductor 19, contact 14, conductor l<12>, conductor l<11>, contact 5<d>, blade 6, contact 5<c>, conductor l<10>, contact 24<b>, bridge 24, contact 24<a>, stud 12, conductor 20, contact 15, and conductor l<17> back to source. The armature M<a> is now short-circuited by l<11>, 6, l<10>, 24, l<9>, and l<8>, thus acting as a brake on the motor when the maiu switch brush is in the centre of a contact. If the reversing-switch is thrown over, the armature is still short-circuited. If it is moved so as not to bridge any of the contacts, the field circuit is broken, and the motor cannot be started. By pressing the button 22<a> so that contact is made across the terminals 23<b>, 23<a> by the knife not shown, the shortcircuit is broken, and the main current is established as follows :-Q to l<7>, l<6>, motor field M<f>, l<i3>, 23<b>, 23, 23<a>, 13, 19, 14, l<12>, motor armature M<a>, l<8>, l<9>, 12, 20, 15, l<17>, and back to Q. The motor then rotates, and continues to run until a cam has made one revolution. Instead of braking the motor by short-circuiting the armature, the shaft of the motor may have a brake drum, provided with wedge-shaped peripheral grooves, which are gripped by correspondingly-shaped gripping-faces. The latter form parts of pivoted arms, connected at one end by an adjustable spring which tends to draw them together and thus keep the brake on, and at the other provided with an electromagnet in series with the motor, so that, when the motor current is on, the magnet holds the brake off.
