Abstract: 191,414. Imray, O. Y., (Schmick Gear & Screw Co.). July 6, 1921. Gear-cutting; attachments for planing.- In a machine for cutting gear teeth, cam grooves &c. the cutter and work are moved relatively in a rectilinear path which is substantially at right angles to the blank axis, the blank being angularly indexed and the tool moved axially of the blank between successive cuts so that a worm &c. is produced by a series of overlapping cuts. In some cases the blank may be rotated in either direction during the cut so that the bottom of each cut may be of convex or concave form. In Figs. 2 and 3 the blank 17 is mounted on an arbor journaled in a frame 12 supported on a table 11 reciprocated beneath the adjustable cross-rail 14 carrying the cutter 15. The work arbor carries a gear 20 engaging a loose gear 21 on a shaft 22 carrying also a splined gear 23. The latter may engage a rack 24 on the machine frame to rotate the blank during the cutting stroke or may be held stationary by means of a stud 25. The loose gear 21 is provided with a series of holes in which a pin 27 on an arm 28 may be engaged to connect the gear to its shaft. The cutter 15 is mounted on a slide 16 adjustable by a handwheel 30 micrometer 31 and scale 32 the depth of cut being determined by the adjustment of a screw 34. In operation the work is rotated through a small angle prior to each cut by setting the pin 27 in the next adjacent hole and the cutter 15 spaced axially of the work by the micrometer 31. The groove is thus produced by a series of cuts 55 each displaced circumferentially and axially of the blank with reference to adjoining cuts, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10. In a modification Fig. 6, cutters 35 may be radially arranged on a pivoted cutter block 36 and rotated intermittently between successive cuts bv means of an indexing device 37 the blank 39 being indexed as above described. In a further modification Fig. 8, the work arbor provided with an index plate 44 may be mounted in a frame 43 supported on the table 47 of a planer and the side cutting edges of each tooth of the cutter 48 are preferably set one in advance of the other, one such arrangement being shown in Fig. 11. Multiple threads may be cut in the blank by increasing the axial displacement between successive cuts. The frames 12 and 43 may be mounted on a milling machine or shaper table the method of operation being as above described.

Abstract: 146,432. Optische Anstalt C. P. Goerz Akt.-Ges. Jan. 19, 1916, [Convention date]. Periscopes more particularly for submarines. In order to use practically the whole of the space available in the vertical direction and also to allow for a convenient observation position for any desired vertical adjustment of the light admission opening. the tube carrying this opening is adjustably mounted on the instrument carrier in such a manner that its lower end can occupy a position below the eye-piece, the light being reflected from the adjustable tube towards the eye-piece by a reflector arranged below the eye-piece. For this purpose, the longitudinal movement of the tube may take place between two telescopic systems belonging to the instrument, or, if there are more than two such systems, between each two. Or the tube 4, Fig. 1, carrying the opening 3 may have an optical system of finite focal length and provision be made for simultaneous adjustment of the tube and the reflector 9, 10, so that the focal planes of the system in the tube and that of the eye-piece 8 always coincide. As shown in Fig. 1, this adjustment may be effected by screwed stems 11, 12, which are rotatably mounted in a plate 13 carrying the reflector, engage with nuts 20, 23 upon the fixed casing 21 and tube 4 respectively, and are simultaneously driven by a central gear-wheel 15, which is driven from a shaft 19 through the bevel and spur gearing 18, 17<1>, 17. By these means, the tube is moved at twice the rate of the plate 13. An airpressure equalizing chamber 24 is provided. In a modification, instead of four screwed stems being employed, two only are used, and their upper and lower halves are constructed with opposite threads to engage with the fixed nut and the nut on the tube 4 respectively. If the tube 4 has a telescopic optical system it can be raised in the usual manner without corresponding adjustment of the reflector being necessary; or, as shown in Fig. 8, the tube 38 with telescopic system 39 may be adjustable over the limb 42 of the fixed U- shaped casing carrying the reflector 45 and eyepiece 44, a second tube with telescopic system 41 being adjustable within the limb 42. In order to allow a sweeping of the horizon without the observer having to walk round the object-glass tube itself, this tube and a tube carrying the eye-piece may be geared together so as to rotate in the same direction, the U-shaped reflector casing participating in the longitudinal movement of the object-glass tube but not in its rotation.

Class 7(4) [Also in Group XXXVI] In a sparking plug having a glass seal 31 between a ceramic insulator 10 and a central electrode 24, a metal band 22 is embedded in the glass and spaced from the electrode to compress the glass against the electrode. The lower end of terminal 20 may be cup-shaped, forming the band 22 surrounding conductor 24 which joins the terminal to the sparking portion 18. The bore 12 of the insulator 10 has a shoulder 16 on which rests a steel ring 32 which fits closely on portion 18 to prevent the glass from lowing' into the lower bore 14. A piece of glass tubing surrounding the conductor 24 rests on ring 32 and the assembly is heated to soften the glass. The terminal 20 is pressed downwardly until flange 21 rests on the insulator, causing the glass to form the seal 31. The band 22 is of cold rolled steel and has a coefficient of expansion greater than that of the glass, which is thereby compressed around the conductor 24 as the seal cools. In modified forms the band 22 may be formed integral with the portion 18 on ring 32.
