Title: Improvements in Machines for Screwing Up or Unscrewing Nuts.
Inventor: MCCUTCHAN ALBERT HOSEA
Filed: 1909-01-18
Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 1256. McCutchan, A. H. Feb. 29, 1908, [Convention date]. Bolts, nuts, and screws, assembling or inserting.-In a machine for screwing-up or unscrewing nuts from the tyre bolts of carriage wheels, the wheel hub is secured at 33 to a slide normally raised by a spring but depressible by a treadle 18 working in connexion with a retaining - device 21. When the treadle is depressed, a nut is brought into a spanner socket in a spindle rotated at 24. The socket is located within a supporting- ring 31, which can be turned back when required. The treadle is also connected to a sliding rod 13 carrying a tool 41 adapted to press down the head of the bolt. The wheel is turned by hand between alternate motions of the treadle to present a fresh nut to the socket.

Abstract: 5173. Wanderer-Werke vorm. Winklhofer und Jaenicke Akt.-Ges. July 29, 1908, [Convention date]. Platen-shift mechanism. -The platen 3 is removably supported in plates 2 secured to a bar 1 of U- shaped section, against which a roller presses from below for raising the platen. By this means irregularities in the writing are prevented. Sheet-feeding arrangements.-Bearing-plates 4 fit into shallow notches in the bar 1 and are held in place by a shaft 9* supported in the plates 2. Pairs of three-armed levers 5, 6 pivoted to and between the plates 4 support shafts 12, 13 carrying pressure-rollers 19. The arms 17 of the levers 5 rest upon arms 18 of the levers 6. which in turn normally rest upon flats on the shaft 9, so that by rotating the shaft the rollers 19 may be thrown away from the platen.

Abstract: 6069. Bruce, Peebles, & Co., [Bragstad O. S., and La Cour, J. L.]. March 13. Rotary converters; exciting. - To improve the commutation and also to regulate the voltage of dynamo - electric machines, particularly motor converters, the compensating - winding through which the whole or a suitable proportion of the armature current flows is arranged unequally and unsymmetrically over the pole arc. The effect of the compensating-winding is to produce a flux distribution represented by a flat curve F<1>, Fig. 1, in the case of a generator and by a peaked curve F<2>, Fig. 2, in the case of a motor. The compensating- winding W may be used to compound the machine by displacing it relatively to the neutral zone in the direction of rotation or in the reverse direction according as the machine acts as a generator or a motor. The armature cross - field may be compensated fully or partly, or it may be overcompensated so as to produce a commutating-field. In addition to the compensating-winding, commutating-poles, wound or unwound, may be used.

Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 3794. Hulme, S. Feb. 16. Coiling ropes.-The coiling-down of ropes &c. is done without twisting or entanglement by means of an appliance which comprises a receiving table or disk, to which is imparted an horizontal eccentric motion and a usual angled revolving delivery tube whose axis of rotation coincides with that of the eccentric device. The horizontal table or disk 3 has a central circular boss 4 on its under surface, which fits in a hollow boss 6 on the upper surface of an horizontal gear-wheel 5, eccentric to its centre of rotation. The solid and hollow bosses may be reversed. As the wheel 5 revolves it gives an eccentric motion to the disk 3 which is prevented from rotating by a lever 7 rotating with a wheel 8 and jointed to a bar 9 secured to the disk 3. As the disk 3 moves eccentrically, the warp 1 is delivered from the rotating delivery tube 2 in a succession of coils or layers without any twisting. Other methods of giving the disk its eccentric motion may be used. According to the Provisional Specification the delivery tube may be reciprocated instead of rotated.

Abstract: 13,200. R÷thlisberger, U. May 31. Fats &c., extracting by solvents. Apparatus for cleaning fabrics &c. by means of benzene is arranged to work continuously. A series of rotarv ribbed drums d, adapted to contain the clothes, are mounted in casings open at the bottom and running on rollers on guides b above a number of vats f containing the cleaning - liquid. In operation, the drums are fed continuously to the machine, the first drum is run over the first vat, and the vat is then raised until the glycerine seal h forms a closure between the vat and the casing. After the cover e has been placed in position, the drum is rotated by gearing (not shown), and the clothes are cleaned. The vat is then partially lowered, and the drum rotated at an increased speed above the surface of the liquid to rid the material of the liquid. The cover is then removed, and the drum is transferred successively to the second and third vats where the clothes are rinsed, and then to the last vat where they are centrifugally dried. The material is dried finally by hot air. A return rail m above or at the side of the apparatus allows the empty receptacles to be returned to the charging-place.

Title: Improvements in Boot and Shoe Making Machines Operated by Fluid Pressure.
Inventor: PARMENTIER GEO
IPC: A43D23/00
Filed: 1909-12-04
Granted: 1910-12-05
Abstract: 17,370. Parmentier, G. Dec. 4, 1909. Lasting ; finishing.- Machines for use in the manufacture of boots &c., in which a number of tools are actuated by a fluid-pressure medium, are so arranged that all the separate admission members controlling the supply of the pressure medium to the various tools are arranged close together and out of the sphere of operation of the tools. Thus the machine becomes divided into two parts, operative and controlling, and the tools become adjustable independently of the controlling- mechanism, and freely accessible from all sides. The machine described has tools 24, each operated by a separate cylinder and connected to its admission valve 1 by a conduit 8. They are mounted on arms 25 detachably connected to a column 22, which is rotatably mounted and adjustable in height. All the valves are placed side by side in a valve chest 2, which is suitably divided into compartments by partitions 3 having passages 4 to enable a single supply conduit 5 to furnish the fluid medium. The valves thus arranged may be operated by any automatically-driven part of the machine, such as a drum 9, which is driven from a pulley by worm gearing. The drum is axially displaceable so that it may be clutched to its driving- gear by means of a treadle 21. Tappets 10 on the drum act upon cam-wheels 18 coupled to cams 19, which operate levers 20 to shift the valves. By actuating the cam-wheels 18 or the lever 20 separately by hand, any tool may be operated at will independent of the automatic mechanism. The base 7 preferably serves as a reservoir for the fluid medium, such as compressed air, which is supplied by a pump 6.

The plunger 19 corresponding to the key depressed projects from the plate 21 and is engaged by a cam 22 having a circular edge 24 for holding the plate in actuated position dnring operation, the plungers in the plate being locked by a latch plate 32 with a pin 36 engaging a notched cam disk 35. A pin 25 on the cam 22 engages a tongue 26 on the differential plate to restore it to initial position.
