Title: Improvements in Variable-speed Gearing.
Inventor: SCHOEPPNER CHRISTOPHER
Filed: 1905-08-29
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 17,443. Sch÷ppner, C. Aug. 29. Variable - speed gearing in which the variation is brought about by varying the engaging pressure between friction surfaces. A driving- pulley &c. 3 loose on a driven shaft 2 is provided with gear teeth on a conical internal surface 4. Bearing-blocks 9 are pivoted upon lugs 8 projecting from a hub 5 slidably secured to the shaft 2 by a screw 6 and slot 7. Double pinions 12 connected by shafts 13 bearing upon the blocks 9 are kept in mesh with the surface 4 by springs 10. Stops 11 are also provided for the blocks 9. As the hub 5 moved to the left against the action of a spring 20, the rotating shafts 13 are made to press more strongly against the blocks 9 so that the slip is diminished and the speed of the shaft 2 increased. The actuation is effected by levers 16, 19 attached to rings 14, 17 which embrace the shaft 2 and are provided respectively with projections 15 and inclines 18 so that a relative turning produces axial motion. End thrust is taken up by ball bearings 21, 22, 23.

Title: Improvements pertaining to the Loading or Charging of Vaccination Tubes or the like.
Inventor: ENTRICAN JAMES
Filed: 1905-09-28
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 19,651. Entrican, J. Sept. 28. Tubular containers, filling.- For the purpose of filling, vaccination tubes &c. are arranged in bundles in holes 7<a> in a plate 7, and are supported by a rubber band which encircles them and rests on the plate 7, which is lowered by a rod 5 passing through a gland 6 in the cover 3 of a glass vessel 1 containing the lymph. The open ends of the tubes having been lowered into the liquid, the air above it is exhausted through a cock 9. This sucks the air from the tubes, and upon the cock 8, which connects the vessel 1 with the atmosphere, being opened, the increased preseure causes the liquid to rise into the tubes. The plate 7 is then raised, and a little of the lymph discharged from the tubes by partly exhausting the air from the vessel 1. The last of the lymph runs into a well 10, from which it is removed by a bundle of tubes placed in the central hole 7a.

Granted: 1907-02-16
Abstract: 4009. Meiklereid, D. G. Feb. 17. Mounting toothed gearing, pulleys, and clutches on shafts shaft couplings. -Relates to a special form of key for mounting clutches, gear-wheels, pulleys, and other sliding members on shafts and the like. In the application to differential speed gears of motor-cars, the sliding pinions, such as C, Fig. 5, are each keyed to the driving-shaft A by balls B arranged in a race formed in the shaft and pinion. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement applied to a known form of safety clutch in use with mechanical stokers, in which the driving -ratchet D is connected to the shaft A through the coupling - member F, the members D, F being connected by balls E lying in recesses of the two parts. The member F is keyed to the shaft A by a row of balls G, and is pressed against the ratchet-wheel D by a spring J. When the strain on the shaft A is excessive, the coupling- member F is forced to slide over the balls G out of engagement with the member D against the. action of the spring. This form of key is stated to prevent chattering and to facilitate lubrication. Hard seatings may be provided for the balls.

Abstract: 7735. Siedentop, H. March 30. Hat-pins.-Consists in providing ladies' hats with fasteners comprising a flexible steel spring, extending across the hat and provided with prongs for gripping the hair. The device is shown fixed to a hat in Fig. 1 and separate in Fig. 2. Two T-shaped plates 1 are fastened to the sides of the hat by means of pins 3 and hooked slides 10. B, C represent two wires of the hat frame. S-shaped plates 6 are hinged to the plates 1 and to links 7. The latter are hinged to flexible plates 8 secured to a flexible spring 5 carrying triple prongs 13. The part 6 may be hidden by an artificial leaf 6'. To fasten the hat on the head, the device is unlocked as shown in Fig. 2, and the spring 5 is pulled downwards so that the prongs extend away from the spring and enter the hair. The hat is then placed on the head and the device locked as shown in Fig: 1, the spring 5 being gripped between the extension of the plates 1 and the S-shaped links. For use with straw hats, the means for securing the plates 1 to the hat is modified.

Shearing. - In making chain mail for moneybags, satchels, purses, gloves for polishing or scraping the bark of trees, &c., instead of making each mesh separately, each row of meshes is made by threading helically coiled wire through the meshes of the preceding row, and forming the meshes by shearing, as indicated in Fig. 12. The wire, alternate rows of which are wound in opposite directions, is held between fingers n, o adjustable by screws on two jaws D, E, of which D is fixed to a platform S and carries lugs for supporting the spring-pressed pivoted jaw E, the distance apart of the jaws being regulated by a screw and nut r and projection q, and-the height and transverse adjustment by screws u, v. The base-plate T of the work-holding means may be placed in guides y under springs z on a platform F normally raised by a spring G. The work is moved upwards into contact with the tools when placed in the guides y. The shears consist of two combs with engaging teeth j, j<1>, which are actuated by eccentric-rods g, g<1> operated by a lever h, which carries a spring stop K, and is moved between stops on a sector I, according to whether the wire is wound in a right or left handed direction. The displacement of the combs is such as to push back the sheared metal beyond the desired point, the return being made by the elasticity of the metal. The sheared meshes are then soldered while held in the clamp.
