Title: An Improved Slotting Machine Chiefly Designed for Cutting Gear-wheels.
Inventor: JANSEN FRANZ
IPC: B23F1/04
Filed: 1913-03-18
Granted: 1914-03-18
Abstract: 6701. Jansen, F. March 18. Gear-cutting machines have a screw - driven cutter ram with selfcontained motor drive through reversing-gearing controlled by a n electro-magnetic clutch. The blank is mounted on a rotary table carried by a slide, the gearing being interconnected to give a rolling motion and being provided with a quick return. The cutter slide is maintained clear of the work during the quick return. and indexing is effected by a one revolution device during a pause just prior to the completion of the return. Such machines are of the type described in Specification 10,460/10, and special clutch and clntch - controlling arrangements are p r ovided. A pinion 4, Fig. 1, loose on the shaft 9 is driven directly from an electro-motor and the wheel 8 is driven in the opposite direction t h r o u g h a countershaft 6. A n electro-magnetic clutch 10 transmits the drive to the screw 15 and is controlled by a switch operated by an arm 34, Fig. 4, from a rod 33 reciprocated by tappets 30, 31 on a dog rod 29 operated by the cutter slide. The blank-slide screw 56 and the table-rotating worm 66 are interconnected through change gearing 54, 60, and are driven from a shaft 41. through gear 49, Figs. 7 and 8, and clutches 92, 96. A clutch 42 controls the rotation of the shaft 41, during the cut, intermittent, from a pawl 38, Fig. 4, carried by an arm from a wheel meshing with rack teeth on the bar 29, and during the return, rapid, through gearing 43, 46 from the shaft 6. The clutch 42 is held in feeding position by a catch 80 engaging a pin on the lever 79. Contact of the slide 57 with a dog on the rod 69, Figs. 1 and 7, rocks a shaft 72 and through gearing 73, 75, Fig. 4, shifts the rod 77 compressing the spring 78 and carrying a stop 83 into such relation with the tail 82 of the catch 80 that, when the cutter slide next reaches the top of its stroke and the rod 33 is actuated, a pivoted arm 81 carried by the rod 33 can no longer slide over the tail 82, but trips the catch. The spring 78 then throws the clutch over to engage with the wheel 43 and an electric contact 100 is broken arresting the cutter slide in its upper position. When the slide 57 has nearly completed its return a pawl 87, Fig. 7, carried by a block 87<b> actuated by the bar 69 rocks a lever 88 and aided by a throw-over bolt 91 ships a clutch 92 unlocking a tappet-wheel 93 and clutching it to the wheel 60. The tappet - wheel actuates a clutch fork 95 to open a clutch 96 and thereby disconnect the feed mechanism of the slide 57 during a complete rotation of the wheel 60. A spring plunger augments the travel of the block 87<b> which has a loose connexion with the bar 69 so that the pawl 87 is carried clear of the lever 88 permitting it to be returned after the complete revolution by a pin (not shown) on the wheel 93. At the same time the clutch 96 closes and the slide 57 completes its return rocking the shaft 72 sufficiently to trip the lever 79, thus setting the clutches for the cutting-stroke.

Granted: 1914-05-11
Abstract: 11,027. Miller, F. May 9. Driving-gear; revolving-cylinder and reciprocating-piston type ; engines with main shaft parallel to axis of cylinder.-In internal-combustion and other fluid-pressure engines in which parallel cylinders are arranged on both sides of a central driving-cam, the pistons move simultaneously both awav from or towards the central driving-member. A two-stroke-cycle engine having terminal ports and stationary or revolving cylinders with annular pistons 4, 4<1> is shown in Fig. 1, the pistons carrying rollers 2 which engage a central cam 1. A modification is described in which the piston rollers engage a recess cut in the periphery of the cam, and in a further modification, the bases of the pistons have undulations similar to those on the cam, ball bearings being interposed between the working faces. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, undulations 16 on the pistons engage rollers 18 carried by a member 1<2> secured to the central shaft. In either of the abovedescribed constructions, each of the annular cylinders may be replaced by two or more parallel cylinders which are displaced, relatively to those on the opposite side of the driving- cam, by one-half an undulation.

Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 15,149. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, Lydall, F., and Fairburn, C. E. July 1. Switching systems.-The operating-coil X, Fig. 1, of a change-over switching system for a two-voltage traction system in which the sectional conductors or collectors overlap, is under the control of a relay B energized from the low-voltage supply and relays A, Y energized from the high-voltage supply. When the car is on the low-voltage system, the coil X is energized to operate the switch against the action of a spring, and the relay B is energized to open the circuit of the relay A at the contacts b1, thereby allowing the circuit of the relay Y to be completed through the contacts a1. When the car passes from a low-voltage section only, to overlapping sectional high and low voltage conductors, the relay Y is energized to open the circuit of the coil X, thereby allowing the spring to operate the change-over switch. When the car passes on to a high-voltage section, the relay B is de-energized, thereby completing the circuit of the relay A, which operates to open the circuits of the relays Y, B to complete the circuit of the switch coil X and open the circuit of the relay B. By this means, the change-over switch is again operated by the coil X when the car passes on to an overlapping section. In a modification, the coil X and relay B are placed in series, and are shortcircuited by the relays Y, A to throw them out of action ; while in a further modification, the relay B may be made to break its own circuit. When the vehicle is running on a low-voltaga section, the control circuits are connected to the supply mains ; but when the vehicle is running on a high-voltage section, the control circuits are fed through a dynamotor having commutators C1, C2, Fig. 2, and separate fields F1, F2. The change-over switch operated by the coil X is provided with contacts which bridge the contacts x0 when the coil is deenergized, and contacts which bridge the contacts x, when the coil is energized. The contacts xo control the starting of the dynamotor, and a coil n across the commutator C2 and field winding F2 inserts a resistance R at a predetermined voltage.

Granted: 1914-05-21
Abstract: 23,053. Bratby & Hinchliffe, and Jackson, S. A. Oct. 13. Bottling.-Relates to filling-heads for rotary counterpressure bottling- machines of the type in which a ball valve is provided in the liquid passage to control the flow of liquid, and consists in the provision in the filling-head of an expansion chamber G, Fig. 4, and passages leading therefrom and an expansion valve G, to remove or reduce the pressure in the bottle when full. The liquid enters the bottle by a nozzle F, Figs. 1 and 4, under control of the ball valve D. The gas-passage f surrounds the liquid-nozzle and communicates by a port f<1>, Fig. 4, with the chamber G, into which the counter-pressure passages b, b<1> also lead. In operation, the valve or plunger G' is pressed in against the action of a spring g<1> by a fixed cam G<2>. Counter-pressure is admitted to the bottle by a cam-operated valve C, Fig. 1, and, on pressure being established, the ball D falls away from its seat and the bottle fills. On the completion of the rotation of the machine, the plunger G<1> escapes from the cam and the expansion valve is pressed back by the spring g<1> so enlarging the chamber G and causing a reduction of pressure which ensures the closing of the valve D. On the removal of the bottle, the pressure in the chamber G is reduced to normal, and the plunger G<1> expands under the action of a spring g, so nearly closing the chamber G and causing any foam in the chamber to enter the ports f<1>, f, where it is retained and returned to the next bottle,
