Filed: 1919-11-06
Abstract: 157,594. Taylor, W. G. Nov. 6, 1919. Milling-machines.-In an horizontal spindle milling-machine the work-table may be automatically reciprocated vertically or horizontally either at right-angles or parallel to the cutter spindle, and means are provided for automatically stopping the table at either end of its travel. The cutter spindle 3 is gear-driven from a driving- shaft 1 carrying a pulley 4 which has an open belt 5 and crossed belt 6 running normally over loose pulleys on a shaft 8. A belt shift 10 may be operated either automatically or by means of a pivoted hand-operated lever 13 to move either belt on to a fast pulley 9. The belt shift is held in one of its terminal positions by means of a spring catch 19 engaging a projection 20, while a weight 15 on a bell-crank 16 tends to move the belt-shifter to its other terminal position. The shaft 8 drives, through spur and bevel gearing 21 and a universally jointed telescopic shaft 23, a worm 22 engaging a worm-wheel 25 on a screw 26 controlling the work table 27. When the table reaches a predetermined position, a projection 28 on the table engages a lever 29 and slides a rod 31, which operates a lever 32 to disengage the catch 19 and allow the belt shifter to move over and reverse the drive. The table may be stopped at either end of its travel by means of a fixed finger 33, which may engage a collar 47 or rod 36 to move a rod 41 so as to allow the worm 22 which is carried by a bracket 42 to drop out of engagement with its worm-wheel. The handles 34 and 13 can be used for stopping the table at will. The machine may also be provided with a screw 43 and worm 44 to traverse the table in a direction parallel to the axis of the cutter, and similar means may be provided to traverse the table vertically, a vertical screw 46 being driven by bevelgearing from the intermediate shaft 8. These movements may be controlled by adjustable projections suitably positioned on the work table and adapted to operate the spring catch for the beltshift.

Title: Improvements in and relating to transmission of rotary motion
IPC: G04B45/04
Filed: 1947-10-15
Abstract: 634,459. Clocks moving signs. ROBERTSON, E. O. Oct. 15, 1947, No. 27677. [Classes 3(i) and 139] A mechanism for the transmission of rotary motion from a driving member to a driven member by means of a transparent plate comprises eccentrics of equal amount and phase of eccentricity rotated in the said transparent plate, one eccentric being attached to the driving member, a second eccentric to the driven member, and a third serving to restrain the plate to a circular motion in its own plane. As shown applied to a clock a driving spindle 12, Figs. 4 and 8, is driven by clockwork or by a synchronous motor contained in the base 1, Fig. 1, at a speed of one revolution per hour, and carries an eccentric 15 which rotates in a bush 16 in a transparent plate 11 which is thereby rotated at one revolution per hour. At its centre the plate 11 has a second bush 16 in which rides a second eccentric 15 carried by a shaft 14, Fig. 6, which is thereby rotated at the same speed. The shaft 14 carries the minute hand 7 and through motionwork 8, 9 and 10 rotates the hour hand 6. A third spindle 13, Fig. 4, also carries an eccentric 15 which rides in a third bush 16 in the plate 11. This spindle may serve as an additional driving spindle or may be idly rotated and in either case it restrains the plate 11 to circular motion. The final gear 18, Fig. 8, in the drive from the clockwork or synchronous motor to the spindle 12 is frictionally mounted thereon so enabling the spindle to be rotated by a key for hand setting. In a modification, not shown, the hour hand is driven in the same way as the minute hand by a second transparent plate. The motion work in this case serving to drive another eccentric rotatable on the spindle 12 at one revolution per twelve hours. The driving gear 18 may not be frictionally mounted on the spindle 12 in which case the eccentric 15 on the shaft 14 is frictionally mounted thereon so that hand setting may be effected by rotation of the spindle 14.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electro optical micrometers
IPC: G01B9/00
Filed: 1961-08-02
Abstract: 983,961. Electro optical micrometer. CONTINENTAL ELEKTROINDUSTRIE A.G., [trading as CONTINENTAL ELEKTROINDUSTRIE A.G. ASKANIA-WERKE]. Aug. 2, 1961 [Aug. 2, 1960], No. 28084/61. Heading G1A. An electro optical micrometer device, for the interpolation of a rotatable graduated circular scale, comprises two reading microscopes disposed on the circumference of the scale and angularly displaced from one another by 180 degrees with respect to the axis of rotation of the scale, a photo-electric device associated with each microscope ray path serving to determine the position of the graduation marks observed in the image plane of the reading microscopes and from which electrical control signals are derivable, first means for causing the images of the graduation marks as seen through the microscopes to undergo translatory motions in the same direction as each other and second means for causing the images to undergo motions in opposite directions to each other, the control signals serving to adjust the first and second means. In the embodiment shown, the graduated transparent disc 3, eccentrically mounted on rotatable shaft 1, has its angular position roughly measured in whole degrees by counter 8 and has its graduations viewed at two diametrically opposite points by two viewing systems, each comprising a light source 10 and lenses 12 and 14, focussing an image of a graduation mark on to an image plane 15. Interposed between each lens 14 and image plane 15 are image diverting rotatable discs 19 and 30, equivalent discs of each viewing system being mechanically coupled and rotated by motors 27 and 35 respectively. The two halves A and B 1  and A<SP>1</SP> and B<SP>1</SP> of each field 15 and 16 are viewed alternately by means of beam splitting devices 50 and 51 and rotating shutters 60 and 61. Due to the eccentricity of the disc mounting, the images 40, 41 (Fig. 2a) of two normally opposite graduation marks appear as in Fig. 2a, the centre of the graduations being at 45<SP>1</SP>. The resulting differences in the light content of the two halves of each field are represented as electrical signals which are fed to motors 27 and 35. Discs 19 and 20 are then similarly rotated to bring the centre 45<SP>1</SP> into line with the axis of observation 42 (Fig. 2b) and discs 30 and 31 are oppositely rotated to rotate and centralize the graduation marks (Fig. 2c) to give zero outputs from the photo-cell differential circuits. The apparent degree of rotation of the graduation marks can be read from counter 8<SP>1</SP>. Alternatively, motor 35 may be omitted and a desired degree of rotation can be finely set manually on counter 8<SP>1</SP> and the graduated disc made to follow by a motor coupled to the shaft having a control signal fed from photo-cell 62 (Fig. 3, not shown). Alternatively the apparent motion of the graduation lines by the rotating discs may be replaced by a real displacement of the reading assembly and the apparent rotation of the graduation marks may be caused by actual rotation of the scale on the shaft.
