Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 19,707. Spencer, C. M. Sept. 29. Lathes; screwing; milling; chucks.-In an automatic screw-machine, the hollow spindles 11 are mounted in a head which is intermittently rotated in a frame 13 by cams on a disk 18, a lever, and a pawl 15, and is locked by a pin 20 controlled by a lever 21 and a cam on the disk 18 when the blanks are in position to be operated on by turning, shaping, cutting-off, knurling, and other tools and threading-dies mounted in the rest 1, which is longitudinally adjustable on the bed, and in the rest 50, which is traversed along the bed by cams on a drum 52. The tool-holders of the rest 1 are simultaneously advanced by a cam disk 10, an oscillating plate 7 with an attached arm 9, and toggles 6, the outer toggle of each pair being pivoted on a block 4, adjustable by means of a screw 5. As each work spindle comes into its lowest position, a cam on the drum 17 moves the slide 32 to withdraw the wedge 30 on the said spindle from beneath the levers 29 to allow the tube 26 to move longitudinally and the jaws 28 to release the bar or rod and then another cam on the drum 17 moves the slide 25 and tube 22 to feed the bar forward. The split end 24 of the tube 22 always grips the work lightly, and its collar 23 engages a ring 33 while the spindle head is rotating in the frame 13. All the work spindles are rotated in one direction from the central hollow shaft 37 by gearing 36, 35 and a clutch 43, with the exception of the one carrying the work being screwed, which is rotated in the opposite direction by the shaft 41, the gearing 40, 39, and the clutch 43, which has been moved out of frictional engagement with the wheel 35 aud into position to engage a pin 46 on the wheel 39 by means of a lever 47 and another lever 49 controlled by a cam on the drum 17.

Abstract: 8000. Goldberg, H., E. April 3. Typewriters. - In applications oftotalizing- counters and differential setting.mechanism therefor to typewriters in which, the counters, of which there may be one or more, are moved laterally by the carriage and operated successively at the different denominations by master setting-elements, as set forth in Specification No. 1366, A.D. 1905, provision is made for (1) giving a counter, irrespective of its lateral position, one of three positions corresponding to addition, subtraction, and non- actuation ; (2) varying the position of any counter in this respect as it moves along its lateral path ; and (3) varying the position of the second or third counters in this respect differently to the first. Fig. 13 shows a counter 23 hanging loosely from the rod 29, upon which it is adjusted laterally by means of a clip and a scale, all carried by the typewriter carriage. The bevel-gear shown rotates the addition and subtraction shafts 11, 12 in opposite directions through angles determined by the master setting-wheel 6, and the receiving-wheels 22 of the counter may by slight movements of the casing either engage with a spur-wheel upon-the adding shaft or an opposite wheel upon the subtracting shaft, or remain in the disengaged position shown. To effect this, there may be either a projection upon the counter engaging a groove in a fixed bar 37, or the equivalent arrangements of Figs. 18 and 19, and in employing the apparatus for making-up accounts in which several columns have to be typed and computed side by side, the fixed bars have the grooves designed to put the counter in the proper position for each column. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, movable blocks 32- fit into recesses and carry eccentricallyplaced pins 34, whereby the three positions may be obtained, and the counters carry. guides for engaging the pins. Four grooved bars or pin rows are shown, so that by stepping the'engaging element upon the successive counters each'may be separately controlled. The differential setting- mechanism may be of the kind described in Specification No. 68, A.D. 1905.

Abstract: 12,697. Gloy, O. May 31. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Platform machines; indicating - mechanism. - A weighing-machine, the platform of which remains immovable when unloaded or loaded with a weight under a certain minimum, has a plate f hinged at g on the movable scale c of a box case a, the plate f being connected by a link h to a lever k on the other arm of which is a counterweight m. When the load exceeds the minimum, the plate f is pressed down on the scale c, operating the lever k and thus turning a toothed segment l fixed on the axle i of the lever. The segment engages with a rack n on the scale c, freeing the scale from its locked position when the weighing is performed in the ordinary way. A counting-device, operated by the movements of the scale c, indicates the number of weighings.

Abstract: 5107. Scott, C. H. March 6. [Patent of Addition to No. 21,031, A.D. 1907]. Switches.-Relates to the regulation of electrically-driven fluid-compressors, which are arranged in the manner described in Specification No. 21,031, A.D. 1907, so that they can be stopped and restarted in succession, and consists in providing a device of the differential-piston type with a liquidcataract arrangement whereby it is adapted to effect a quick off" movement and a slow " on " movement of the controller switch of the driving- motor in accordance with the pressure in the mains fed by the compressors. The chamber b containing the differential piston a communicates with a reservoir d containing oil, water, or other liquid and divided by a partition e into compartments, the communication between which is controlled by a number of non-return valves f of adjustable lift, and an adjustable screw-down valve g. A pipe c puts the smaller area of the differentialpiston in constant communication with the pressure main. When this pressure becomes abnormal, it is admitted to the chamber d, rapidly driving the liquid through the valves y, moving the piston to the left, and effecting a quick off' movement'of the switch (not shown). When the pressure falls, it is out off from the chamber d, and the piston is moved slowly to the right, the liquid having to pass solely, through the regulated opening provided by the valve g, and a slow 'on' movement of the switch is effected. The reservoir d may be located at the opposite end of the cylinder ; or, reservoirs may be provided at both ends.
