Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Electrically Operating Planing Machines and the like Reciprocating Tools.
IPC: B23Q5/027
Filed: 1915-02-04
Abstract: 1774. Lancashire Dynamo and Motor Co., and Hargreaves, W. Feb. 4. Systems for controlling reciprocating motion.- Planing - machines and like reciprocating tools are driven through a pair of co-axial shafts one of which may be the armature shaft of an electric motor or is driven from such shaft. The co-axial shafts are connected by epicyclic gearing so controlled by electro-magnetic clutches that, for drive in one direction, the planet pinion carrier is held stationary, while for reverse, the gearing rotates as a solid whole. A friction clutch on the reversing-shaft operates a throwover switch f<4> putting resistance into one clutch circuit f<1> and cutting it out of the other g<1> to give light engagement during reversal and full grip for subsequent driving, thus avoiding shock. The tappet gear on the machine which controls the clutch switches S<1>, either directly or through other switches and solenoids, is arranged also to throw a pair of manually adjustable resistances Q, R alternately in and out of the shunt circuit of the motor thus providing for varying the speeds of the cut and reverse.
Patent GB-191503520-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Electric Signalling.
IPC: B66B19/06
Filed: 1915-03-04
Abstract: 3520. International Electric Co., Roose, H. E. R., and Le Noir, R. G. March 4. Mine signalling systems; order apparatus.-An arm F is moved step by step over contacts H I, K, L connected to lamps N, O, P, Q and relays R, S, T, U, by means of a pawl E and solenoid B. The apparatus is particularly for use in mines, and is such that a single key at any one of the transmitting-stations, such as a seam of the mine, transmits all the signals from that station. A delaying- apparatus then retards the illumination of the signal until a sufficient interval has elapsed from the receipt of the last impulse. The circuit of the coil B is completed in series with that of a magnet D when a key Z or Z' is depresed, this circuit also including a relay X or Y which closes a local circuit through a lamp V or W to indicate from which level the signal is being received. Additional contacts 21, 9 on the relays close a circuit through a lamp 20 if a second signal is received after the arm F has been moved, the contacts 16 being then closed. An important feature of the invention lies in the fact that the magnet D closes its contacts 5 only after a predetermined time-interval, and then completes the particular lamp and relay circuit prepared by the arm. This circuit passes by way of contacts 12, which are normally held closed by a spring locking- pawl 22. The lamp relay acts quickly and completes a local maintaning-circuit for itself at 19, 13, &c. before a magnet C, also energized by the closing of the contacts 5, is able to open the contacts 12 by attracting the locking-pawl. When this happens, the arm is returned to starting position, and, the maintaining-circuits for the signal lamps passing through the engineman's switch A<1>, the previous signal can then be cleared. In practice, the switch Z' is at one of the mine levels, and the switch Z on the bank.

Abstract: 6306. Locomotive Superheater Co., [Assignees of McKee, N. T.]. July 7, 1914, [Convention date]. Pipe - end closing; forging-dies; welding. -Work-holding dies are adapted to grip the work more firmly as the operative pressure of a cutting and forging die increases. The dies 3, 4 which hold tubes 24 to be operated on by a die 8, in the manufacture of superheater pipe-bends as described in Specification 6304/15, are provided with a subsidiary holding- block 9. As the dies 3, 4 are closing, a camblock 19 acting on a projection 18 on the lever 17 moves the block 9 to the left, and after the dies have closed and before the die 8 begins to operate on the tubes 24, the projection 18 is released and the block 9 is moved to the right by a spring 22 and, by reason of the toggle block 11, forms an additional clamp. If the tubes 24 tend to slip, the grip of this clamp increases.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Clocks.
Inventor: HAHL AUGUSTUS LOUIS
IPC: G04B1/26
Filed: 1914-06-02
Granted: 1915-08-03
Abstract: 9665. Hahl, A. L. June 2, 1914. Pneumatic clocks.-Relates to pneumatic clocks such as are described in Specification 13,449/14, and has for its object the provision of an improved form of detenting-mechanism for controlling the impulses. Figs. 28, 29, and 31 show the timetrain and intermediate mechanism of the master clock, for controlling the spring motor which operates the impulse bellows. The time-train 308 has its first arbor 305 co-axial with the motordriven vertical shaft 154<a>, and a lateral train from the shaft ends in a long arm 301 to be released for a number of revolutions by the action of the timetrain. The spring 309, which drives the timetrain, is attached to its first wheel 306 and to the shaft 154<a> so as to be rewound by this shaft. The slower arbor 319 of the side-train carries cams 327, 331, 328, the third being really only a bevelled finger projecting from the second. A counterbalanced lever 323 on an horizontal axis 324 carries a V-detent 302, 332 in the plane of the second cam 331, and the axis has two arms 325, 326 projecting to the top and bottom cams respectively. Normally, the long arm 301 with buffer spring 302 is locked by a lug 300 on the short arm 302 of the V-detent; but as this arm has a notched end engaging with a pin-wheel 303 driven by the timetrain, the long arm 301 is presently released. Then, during one revolution of the cams and, say, ten of the long arm, the V-detent is drawn down clear of the pin-wheel, is given its initial position, and is raised again into engagement and locking position. A secondary clock, Figs. 8 and 9, comprises a suitably-driven great-wheel 81 with two cams 74, 75 on its arbor, a pinion 82 with a long arm 83 on its arbor, and two detent levers 63, 64 bearing pivoted pallets 55, 56. A lever 54, on an arbor 60 between the bellows 53 and the pallets, supports the pallets by a pin 59 passing through slots therein. As shown, the pallet 55 is obstructing the long arm, the other pallet being clear both vertically and horizontally; but when the bellows shuts up, both pallets are slightly raised, and the arm revolves until the great-wheel has made half a revolution. During this action, a bell-crank lever 67 subject to a spring 85 is operated by the cam 74 to shift the detent lever 63 back, and therewith the pallet 55. At the conclusion of the action, the cam 75 lets a fellow bell-crank 68, pulled by the spring 86, shift the lever 64 to put the pallet 56 in the path of the long arm. When the bellows opens, the pallets are lowered and a similar cycle ensues.
