Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Forming Screw Threads on Bolts, Nuts, Tubes or other Articles.
Inventor: DRON ALEXANDER
Filed: 1903-02-05
Granted: 1903-12-10
Abstract: 2730. Dron, A. Feb. 5. Screwing; lathes; tools; tool-holders.-An automatic die-head for screwing bolts, nuts, tubes, &c. may be used in an ordinary screwing-machine or may be attached to a lathe saddle, or to the table of any machine having a revolving spindle. Figs. 1 and 2 show the invention as applied to a screwing- machine. A sleeve 1, formed with inclined grooves 3, slides on a revolving spindle 2. Dies 5 in holders 4 slide in the grooves 3, and are opened and closed by the sliding of the sleeve 1 on the spindle 2. This sliding may be effected by a hand-lever 8, or by the action of the saddle 9, which carries the work to be screwed, on stops 11, 12 on a rod 10. The spindle 7 of the lever 8 carries a slotted lever 18, which works the curved links 6, and a lever 19 connected to a spring-loaded rod 31. In the forward motion, a pin 13 on the rod 10 frees a pin 17 on the lever 8 from a notch 16 on a bell crank 14, thus allowing the rod 31 to turn the spindle 7 and open the dies by the action of the links 6 on the sleeve 1. The bell crank is normally held down by a spring 27. On the return movement of the saddle, a slot 34 in the rod 10 engages a pin 33 on the lever 8, and restores the latter to its original position where it is again held by the notch 16 in the lever 14. A crosshead 21, the fulcrum of the links 6, is adjustable on a screwed spindle 22 provided with a locking-pin 25. For finishing the ends of the bolts &c., a cutting-tool 28, Fig. 8, on a spindle 29 may be centrally secured in the spindle 2, by means of nuts 30 which also serve to adjust the cutter to the position required.
Patent GB-190303444-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Luminous Gas or Vapour Electric Lamps.
Inventor: TALL FREDERICK WILLIAM LE
Filed: 1903-02-13
Granted: 1904-01-07
Abstract: 3444. Le Tall, F. W., [Cooper - Hewitt Electric Co.]. Feb. 13. Vacuum tubes.-Luminous gas or vapour lamps are provided with starting means, based on the observation that, under certain conditions of purity, the tendency of the discharge is to assume a path between the positive electrode and that portion of the negative electrode which is remote therefrom. Fig. 1 shows one form of the lamp, together with an arrangement to cut out a resistance, which is in series with the lamp when the electrodes are in contact at the moment of making circuit. The negative electrode 5 extends the greater part of the length of the lamp, and, when the lamp is not in use, is in contact with the positive electrode 2, which is supported by a wire 10 from the core 12 of the coil 16 surrounding the extension 19 of the lamp. The core 12 is surrounded by a glass case 18, which prevents it from giving off any vapours after the lamp is made. The positive electrode 2 passes through the guide 17, by which also current is supplied from the terminal 7. When the circuit is completed, the electrode 2 is raised, and the discharge will pass from electrode 2 to the remote end of the negative electrode 5. The coil 16 is provided with an auxiliary armature 26, which, on the current passing, depresses the bar 29 and completes the circuit between the points 28, 30, thus short-circuiting the resistance 22. Fig. 2 shows a form of lamp in which the extension of the negative electrode is entirely cut out of circuit when the lamp is in use. On making circuit, current first passes through the rod 5 and through the rings 51. 52, pivoted at the points 34. The rings 51, 52 are then raised by the cores 12 of the electromagnets 16, and the rod 5 is cut out of circuit. Current passes from whichever ring acts as the positive electrode to mercury 56 surrounding the other electrode. The rings 51, 52 may be so made that, with excessive current, they become red hot and cease to be attracted by the cores 12, falling back on the rod 5 and cutting out the lamp until they become cool, when they are again attracted. The rings, in a modified form of that shown in Fig. 2, may be brought out of contact with the rod 5 by turning the tube and allowing them to fall by gravity. In another form, the extension of the negative electrode is in a liquid state.
