Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 9364. Reid, A. T., and Riekie, J. April 20. Spring wheels with continuous outer rigid ring and rubber cushions and helical springs. - Wheels of the kind in which inner and outer rims are separated by springs in compression and free to move circumferentially on either rim or on both rims, are characterized by forming each spring of a helical coil B, Fig. 1, fitted internally with a solid or hollow rubber cylinder A, A<1>, or embedded in a hollow rubber cylinder A<2>. The springs are fitted in shoes C moving around the inner rim which is lubricated by spring- pressed blocks M of lubricant. In a modification, the helical spring is dispensed with and replaced by telescoping tubular flanges formed on the shoes and enclosing the rubber cushions. The side plates K, Fig. 2, are clamped to brackets G, H, and to the outer rim by bolts L.

Abstract: 19,478. Michelsohn, J. Aug. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Regulating delivery by opening delivery valves.-A container 1 for use in sterilizing surgical instruments &c. can be raised or lowered by means of a pump preferably operated by a pedal 31. The container is secured to the ram 17 working in a cylinder 18 provided with a delivery valve 19 and a ring valve 23 for use in lowering the container.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Metal-bending Machines.
Inventor: VOLLMER WILHELM
IPC: B21D7/022
Filed: 1913-11-15
Granted: 1914-12-17
Abstract: 26,245. Vollmer, W. Nov. 15. Angular bending; bending-dies; power hammers. - Machines particularly adapted for bending angle-iron have a power hammer arranged to deliver rapid blows on the metal at the bend during bending. The angle &c. to be bent is supported in position by an adjustable rest 78, Figs. 2 and 3, between a former 20 adjustable at 29 with relation to a fixed member 25. The bending-lever 50 is cut away to the centre line of its pivot, and after it has been fitted in place, a filling-block 186, Fig. 12, is secured to the member 25. The member and the lever are provided with adjustable portions 54, 60 which engage the top of the angle-iron and prevent it from rising during bending. The former has a pivoted portion 40 which moves with the metal during bending. The end of the angle may be attached to the bender by a notched end stop and clamp 212, Fig. 12, or by an adjustable eccentric grip 67, Fig. 2. The dies shown are arranged to bend to a sharp corner with the flange inside. When the flange is to be outside, a pivoted die 343, Fig. 18, is employed between the former and the member 25. Joggled bends are obtained by the use of loose plates 376, Fig. 19. The bender is actuated by a segment 110 and a worm driven by open and crossed belts. Automatic stop in each direction is provided for by adjustable dogs 111, 112 in connexion with a trip lever 107, which latches a clutch 95 against a disengaging-spring. To permit the clutch to be engaged and locked to commence a fresh bend, the dog 112 is pivotally mounted for turning back to an inoperative position. The hammer has a trip with a striking portion 122, Fig. 1, pivoted to follow the movement of the portion 40 of the former, which acts as an anvil. To take up the shock, the former is supported, not only by the machine base 10, but also by a cross-beam 17 adjustable on side beams 15 to distribute the load by a double wedge adjustment 32, Fig. 3. The strength of blow is varied by interchangeable springs 153, and by a spring 155 attached to the helve by a clip adjustable along the helve. The fulcrum is vertically adjustable at 150, 151, and the pin 134 engaging the slot of the link 132 is adjustable horizontally to vary the stroke. The helve may be held up by a pivoted dog and handle 161. The tappet-wheel is thrown into and out of operation by a hand-controlled clutch 190. In a modified hammer, the tup 220, Fig. 13, has a yoke and trunnion connexion to the helve, is rotatable to follow the bend by a hand-lever 229, and is feathered to slide in a guide-bush 228 secured in the framing 224, which may be laterally adjustable on the standard 223. The tup may have interchangeable foot plates 390 of varying thickness.

Delivery apparatus. -Sheets are delivered from folding-rolls 11 past guides 13 to revolving disks 3 with grippers 5, which drop them on to supports 14 mounted on chains 17, which are moved at intervals to deposit the pile on to travelling chains 34 and at the same time to bring fresh supports 14 into position to collect a further pile of sheets. The supports 14 are sufficiently far apart to allow the chains 34 to pass between, and they are slightly curved, so as to prevent the sheets from sagging. The pile, when lowered by the supports 14, may rest on smooth rails 40 at the ends, and may be pushed along by fingers 39 attached to the chains 34. These chains are provided at intervals with supporting-rollers 43 running on rails 44 and are given a step-by-step movement through ratchet gearing 45, 46.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Driving and Speed-governing Mechanism particularly applicable to Combined Motion Picture and Sound Reproducing Machines.
Inventor: DICKER STANLEY GORDON SINCLAIR
Filed: 1914-07-08
Granted: 1915-09-08
Abstract: 16,349. Dicker, S. G. S., [Webb, G. R.]. July 8. Driving; Speed, regulating and indicating; combined working of phonographs and kinematographs. -In a governing-device for a motion picture machine and a talking or sound - reproducing record, the speed of the drive-shaft, which is geared to two driven shafts, is controlled by a speed governor of the centrifugal brake-shoe type applied to the driving-shaft with hand-actuated means for adjusting the action of the brake to give varyiug speeds. The electric motor 1 drives a two-part shaft, one part 7 having ball bearings 10, 11 in the motor casing, and the other part 8 having ball bearings 14, 15 in a casing 16, which encloses the gearing for driving the projector and the sound-reproducing record. The two parts of the shaft are coupled together by means of a flanged collar 17 pinned to the part 8 and engaged by a key 22 on the part 7 having convex sides, as shown in Fig. 5, which allows of a slight flexibility of the coupling in ease the two sections of the shaft are not in exact alinement. The part 8 of the shaft is provided with a worm 23 which meshes with a worm-wheel 24 secured. to the shaft 25 which carries the supporting-plate 26 for the sound-reproducing records. The part 8 is provided also with a second worm 27 which meshes with a worm-wheel 28 secured to the projector shaft 29. To the end of the sector 8 of the motor drive-shaft, a tachometer 31 is coupled. A collar 32 is rigidly secured to the part 7 of the shaft and carries a plate 33 having, on one side, fan blades 34 and, on the other, a number of pivoted brake shoes 35, Figs. 1 and 3, each formed with a frictional face 36 adapted, under the action of centrifugal force, to bear upon the inner face of an extended portion of the casing 2. The shoes are restrained by springs 37 the inner ends of which are connected to the short arms of bellcrank levers 38 pivoted to the plate 33, the long arms bearing against a disk 39 feathered on the part 7 of the shaft. The disk is moved backwards and forwards along the shaft by means of a flanged collar 42 fitting loosely round the sleeve of the disk and pivotally connected to a yoke 46, Fig. 7, fixed on a rock-shaft 47 journaled in the sides of the casing and having an arm 48 hinged at its lower end to a pitman 49, Fig. 4, which, at its other end, is hinged to a nut 50. The nut can be moved by means of a hand-wheel backwards and forwards along a screw 51 over a graduated scale. By displacement of the disk 39, the pull on the springs 37 is varied, and consequently the speed to which the drive-shaft is governed is varied in accordance with the graduations on the scale. If any variation of the normal speed of the motor drive-shaft occurs, as indicated by the tachometer, the centrifugal brake device is adjusted to bring the speed to normal.
