Title: Improvements in or relating to Multiple Spindle Drilling Machines.
Inventor: SMITH OSCAR AUGUST
IPC: B23B9/08
Filed: 1912-03-04
Granted: 1913-05-05
Abstract: 5452. Smith, O. A. March 4. Drilling-machines.-A multiple-spindle drilling and tapping machine is described, in connexion with Specification 5932/13, with reference to the production of pipe couplings. The drill spindles rotate in the opposite direction tn the work spindles which are mounted in a turret. The first drill spindle pushes a blank into the chuck and then drills part way through, the remaining spindles completing the drilling in successive stages. The blank-supplying mechanism has a yielding device, and the cam-shaft drive has an automatic stop in case of obstruction. The blanks are fed from a magazine 70, Fig. 5, by a plunger 77 into a hole 74 in a slide 73 which conveys the blank into line with a chuck, into which it is transferred by a drill during the forward motion of the tool slide. The chuck is then closed and the drill penetrates the blank for a third of its length. The slide 73 is linked to a cam-operated lever 82, Fig. 12, provided with spring plungers 92 engaging recesses in the link 89 to permit yielding in case of sticking or obstruction. The slide is slotted at 75 to clear the drill. The work spindles are driven by a pinion on a central shaft extending the length of the machine and driven through back-gearing from a belt pulley and are mounted in a turret indexed by a sector gear' on the cam - shaft which is driven through a clutch loose on the shaft, by worm, chain, change, and bevel gearing from a bevel-wheel located within the belt pulley. The drill spindles are driven from a pinion on the central shaft through a countershaft having a pinion in mesh with wheels on the second and third drill spindles. The first drill spindle is driven from the second through an idler.

Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 18,297. Clarke, R. H. Aug. 8. Brain centres, localizing.-Relates to means for indicating or representing the position of a point inside a solid, and for replacing a part of the indicating-means by an operative instrument for the purpose of applying it to the point, in question. The apparatus is primarily intended for use in surgical operations on the brain, the instrument employed being described in Specification 22,455/12. The position of the point is defined by the usual x, y, z co-ordinates and three surfaces A, B, C are provided graduated by parallel lines to enable a pointer, preferably a star-shaped body 0 formed by the intersection of three wires parallel to the axes, to be set. The pointer is mounted on a graduated arm d carried by a graduated upright d' sliding in a block D<1>, which slides on a scale parallel to the remaining axes. Instead of three graduated planes, two may be employed, one with two sets of graduations at right-angles. The planes are preferably grids of wire or thread, and may be made adjustable, as shown in Fig. 7, to facilitate exact settings of scale. A convenient arrangement of grids composed of rods with scale variable by parallelogrammatic displacement of the framework is shown in Fig. 12, the indicating star 0 being carried at a known distance above a block R sliding on a pair of rods attached to blocks sliding on arms P<1>, P<2>. The blocks have pins to enclose the graduating rods, and the arms P<1>, P<2> are secured to spring-controlled sleeves on a sleeve sliding on a pillar N supporting the system of planes. A methol of mounting the graduation bars of the planes so as to allow of scalar adjustment is shown in Fig. 11. A cubical frame E is adapted to be placel around the planes and to carry on any face a graduated slide F<1>, upon which slides the base F<2> of a pillar H rotatable around its axis and carying a pivoted frame G<1> in which slides a " finder " G. As is shown in Fig. 5, every adjustment can be given to the " finder," and a surgical instrument, such as a probe or that alluded to above, is intended to take the place of the " finder " when any position sought has been located.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Lasting Mechanism.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: A43D21/12
Filed: 1913-03-12
Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 6145. Wade, H., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. March 12. Lasting.-The wipers of a lasting-machine are mounted in a holder which can be rotated to invert the wipers, thus enabliag the alteration necessitated by the change from operating upon right boots to left, or vice versa, to be made quickly. The wiper holder 20 has projecting from its rear a stem which can turn in a cylindrical bearing on a carriage 16. The carriage 16 is horizontally pivoted between arms extending upwards from a carriage 12, which can be adjusted about a pivot 10 by a screw operated by a hand-wheel 14. The carriage 16 may be adjusted about its pivot by a screw 18. The wiper holder comprises a box-like structure having at its rear on either side a backwardly-projecting spring bolt 34. A groove in the middle of a barrel-shaped block 32, which can be vertically adjusted relatively to the carriage 16 by a screw 30 passing through the end of an arm projecting from the carriage, is adapted to contain one of these spring bolts, and thus to lock the wiper holder in position for operation upon a right or a left boot. The wipers are removably held by clamps 23 in carriers 24, which are connected by links to the cross-head of a rod operated by a hand-lever and are guided in their movement by studs on the holder projecting into cam slots in carriers. The wipers have U-shaped forward edges, as shown in Fig. 6, so that the upper may be pressed over the thin projecting arm 85 of the U by the hold-down 90, whether the wiper holder is in its erect or inverted position. The toe is sustained for lasting upon a rest 40 mounted in a carrier 42, which is pivoted at 43 upon the slide 4 carrying the end-lasting mechanism. To tilt the rest automatically when the wipers are being inverted, the carrier 42 is provided with a lateral stud 44 engaged by a yielding latch 45 upon a block 48 projecting from a slide bar 50. The bar 50 is slotted, and through the slot passes a pin 53, which enters the slide 4. A slot is formed in the carriage 12, through which the pin passes, thus permitting the carriage to be adjusted. The rear end of the bar 50 carries a post 55, which is connected through an arrangement permitting the movement of the carriage 12 with a cam 56 on a short shaft carrying a pin 58 meshing with a pinion 60 on a shaft 62 geared to the stem of the wiper holder. As the wiper holder is turned to invert the wipers, the cam 56 is operated to push the toerest towards the heel end of the machine. The foot 65 of the toe-rest is curved to facilitate the tipping of the rest, and the toe-rest is automatically adjusted for height, as the toe-head is moved by the slide 4, by the foot 65 moving along an inclined support. This inclined support is also adapted to be raised or lowered by hand for adjustment relatively to the cam operated slide which engages it in the ordinary jacking operation. Specification 22,630/08 is referred to.
