Patent GB-190808568-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Stop-motions for Winding and Spooling Machines.
Inventor: REINERS WILHELM
Filed: 1908-04-16
Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 8568. Reiners, W. April 16. Stop-motions. -Consists in providing winding or spooling machine stopmotions that are actuated by individual cops and act when the cops have grown to the required diameter with means for simultaneously adjusting the stop-motions of a group of spindles or of all the spindles in the machine. The device may also be fitted with a broken-end stop-device. In one form of the invention, the spool-holders a, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, are rotatable about a fixed axle b, and the arms c of the spool holders are acted on in the usual way by spring-pressed brake tongues d having abutments e, which lift the cops out of contact with the drum roller when they have attained the required diameter. In order to allow the stopmotions of the spindles to be simultaneously adjusted, the axle f carrying the tongues d is carried by levers g which are rotatable about the axle band are provided with a pin-and-slot securing-device k, k<3> and marked with a scale of diameters. By means of this adjustable lever device, the spoolholders are locked in such a position that the stopmotions will come into operation when the cops have attained the required diameter. In a modification, the pin-and-slot locking-device is reversed in position, and the brake tongues are in the form of brake springs. In another modification, the cop-holders a<2>, Fig. 8, are mounted on an axle b<2> and have a sliding rod u formed with a toothed edge adapted to engage with a toothed hinged catch u<4> carried by a slide u<1> on the sliding rod. The lower end of the sliding rod normally rests against a double-cranked lever y, y<1>, Fig. 10, adapted to be held by the tension of the thread A against a crank-arm u', which can be locked in any required position by means of a pin-and-slot device g'. In operation, as the winding proceeds, each cop grows and raises its sliding rod until the lower end slips past the lever y. This allows a rotating pin x on the split drum to engage a recess on the slide u<1> and force it into engagement with the sliding rod, and so raise the sliding rod and the cop from the split drum and stop the winding. The quadrantal lever of the pin-and-slot device g<2> for adjusting the positions of the crank-arms u<2> is marked with a scale of diameters, so that the device can be set so as to stop the winding on all the cops when they have attained the required diameter. The form of the invention shown in Figs. 8 and 10 is adapted for use as a broken-end stop-motion, the double-cranked lever y, y<2> being hinged to the support w<2>, so that if the thread breaks, the lever falls and releases the sliding rod, which is then raised to lift the cops out of action as before.

Patent GB-190819987-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Turbine Drives of Gyroscopic Steering Gears for Torpedoes.
Inventor: JONES ALBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1908-09-23
Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 19,987. Jones, A. E. Sept. 23. Gyroscopic-apparatus. -In compressed-air turbine-driven gyroscopic steering-gears for torpedoes, in which the gyroscopic system is held in a fixed position at the time of launching and during the time that the compressed air acts upon the turbine-wheel, special devices are provided for cutting off the supply of compressed air to the turbine-wheel and for releasing the members holding fast the gyroscopic system. The channel b, Fig. 1, leading to the air nozzle a, Fig. 4, of the turbine-wheel A is fitted with a piston valve c. A spring-controlled lever d acts upon one end of the valve c and normally opens the channel b ; the action of this lever is counteracted by the compressed air acting upon the back of the valve c after a controllable lapse of time. To act upon the valve c the compressed air is admitted indirectly to the chamber i by way of two chambers m, n, Fig. 3, and passages 2, 3,5, 14. The valve c thus remains in the open position until the action of the compressed air in the chamber i overcomes the action of the spring f and lever d upon the valve. The members which retain the system in the fixed position are also controlled by the air pressure in the chamber i and by the spring f. As described in Specifications No. 22,296, A.D. 1894, and No. 12,169, A.D. 1897, these members consist of an axially-movable centre-pin z, which enters a boss u attached to the horizontal ring v, which supports the wheel A, and of an oscillating fork t mounted concentrically with the pin z and having prongs 18, which, in the raised position, embrace closely the vertical ring w and also engage the horizontal ring v at two points equidistant from one pivot ; in this position, the fork t retains both rings v and w in their normal pusition ; in the lower position, the fork t engages a reduced portion of the ring w, and thus both rings v and ware free. The pin z is actuated by one arm of a three-armed pivoted lever k, the lower arm of which is engaged by a compression spring 9 and the third arm of which carries a pin 10 working in conjunction with a pin 7 on a sliding rod r, which also carries a second pin 6. The rod r is connected to the lever d. The fork t is actuated from the rod r by means of the pin 6 engaging one or other of two cam surfaces p, q. Before launching, the parts assume the positions shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4. At the moment of launching, the compressed air sets the wheel A rotating, and acts upon the wheel until the valve c is moved by pressure in the chamber i to cut off the air supply, as described above. This movement of the valve operates the lever d and consequently the rod r, which, in rising and by means of the pin 6, lowers the fork t ; the pin 7 then acts against the pin 10 of the lever k and withdraws the centre pin z, thus setting free the system. Specifications No. 23,683, A.D. 1897, and No. 19,763, A.D. 1903, are also referred to.
Patent GB-190824927-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hack Saw Machines.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1908-11-19
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 24,927. Lake, H. W., [Thompson & Son Co., H. G.]. Nov. 19. Sawing.-Relates to reciprocating-saw machines, and consists mainly in special means for raising the saw on each return stroke aud for imparting a quick-return motion to the saw. The saw frame 17, Fig. 1, is reciprocated by means of a crankdisk 15 on a shaft 14 and a connecting-rod 16. The crank-pin 26 eogages in a radial groove in a plate 27 on the side of a cam 28 carried by a shaft 8, the shafts 8, 14 being out of line with each other. The cam shaft 8 is rotated from a belt-pulley 12 through the medium of gearing 10, 9. The rotation imparted to the disk 15 by the cam-plate 27 is such as to increase the speed of the saw on the return stroke. The saw frame slides on a guide-bar 21 carried by an arm 22 pivoted on the shaft 8. A vertical rod 29 pivoted to the bar 21 extends through a gap 32, Fig. 5, formed between a lever 30 pivoted to the bed 2 of the machine and a clamping-plate 31 secured on the side of the lever. The bevelled ends of the lever 30 and the plate 31 are adapted to fit into a bevelled notch 33, Fig. 6, in the lower end of a lever 34, the upper end of which engages the cam 28. On the return stroke the cam 28 rocks the lever 34, the notched end of which first clamps the plate 31 to,the lever 30 to grip the rod 29, and then rocks the lever 30 to raise the rod 29. and saw frame 17. At the end of a cutting-operation, a shoulder 37 on the saw frame strikes a transverse lever 38 which, striking a cam 39 on, the lever 30, lifts the latter out of reach of the lever 34 to enable the saw frame to be raised by a handle 40. The lever 38 also turns a vertical spindle 42, a belt-fork 44 on which throws the driving-belt on to an idle pulley, and stops the machine. The saw frame is. held in the raised position by a projection on the arm 22 engaging a notch 49 in a pivoted oblique bar 45. To lower the saw frame the bar 45 is pushed out of engagement with. the arm 22 by means of a lever 50 pivoted on the arm and, operated by a hand-pushed rod 51. The arm 22 is counterbalanced by a weight 25 slidable on a bar 24 attached to the arm..The end of the arm 22 surrounding the shaft 8 is guided between two wall brackets projecting from the bed 2, the brackets being connected by a bolt which enables wear between the brackets and the arm to be taken up. The distance through which the bar 21 and the saw frame can fall is adjusted by means of a stop 47 on the bar 45.
