Patent GB-190909780-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Horn Operating Mechanism of Slugging, Nailing or like Machines.
Inventor: DENNE MARK THOMAS
IPC: A43D71/02
Filed: 1909-04-24
Granted: 1910-04-25
Abstract: 9780. Denne, M. T. April 24. Work-supports.-A horn for use in slugging, nailing, or like machines is lifted to clamp the work by the action of a spring which rotates a screw-threaded nut engaging a thread on the horn-supporting rod. The horn rod d<1> is attached by a screw g and a nut j to a spindle i carrying at its lower end a crown-wheel k. The wheel k gears with a bevel-wheel 22 clamped to a casing 12 containing a spring 13, which is secured at one end to the casing, and at the other to a sleeve 19, adjustable on a pin 20 to vary the tension of the spring. The casing 12 has an extension 14 provided with a groove 15, in which a chain, attached to a treadle, rests. Depression of the treadle causes the casing 12, and so the wheel k and the nut j, to rotate, and causes the horn to be depressed. On releasing the treadle, the horn is raised again by the spring 13. To lock the horn in its raised position to take the blow of the hammer, a hollow cone I, normally held up against a spring by a cam-operated lever, is released to engage the back of the wheel k, thus preventing it from rotating. The horn is lowered, to permit the work to be fed, by a second cam-operated lever u, which rocks a short shaft s, thus bringing a flat at one side under the bottom part q of a vertical slide carrying the pin 20.

Title: Improvements in Hammers Driven by Steam or Compressed Air.
Inventor: MASSEY LEONARD FLETCHER
IPC: B21J7/24
Filed: 1909-06-14
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 13,884. Massey, L. F., and Snow, W. H. June 14. Steam and other fluid-pressure hammers.-In a hammer in which motive fluid is supplied constantly to the underside of the hammer piston through a port i, Fig. 1, fluid is admitted to the upper side of the piston through a passage l overrun by the piston, and controlled by a valve m moving in a casing q. Exhaust takes place through a pipe u when the valve m is lowered. For light blows, or for holding the tup down, fluid passes direct from the pressure chamber g through ports v in the casing q and small ports w in the valve m. In a modification, shown in Fig. 3, fluid may be supplied through the passage l only, or, for heavy blows, fluid is supplied during the entire stroke when the valve is turned by a handle 2 to bring the ports 4 in the valve into register with the ports v in the valve casing. The tup b, Fig. 1, may work on a fixed guide e, which acts as a cushioning - device by compressing the air in the space x. At the end of the up-stroke, the space x is placed d in communication with valve m by a port z, passage y, and a non-return valve 1. The invention is stated to be applicable to hammers of the oscillating-vane type.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Phonographs.
Inventor: GEMMILL JAMES IRWIN
Filed: 1909-08-09
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 18,330. Gemmill, J. I. Aug. 9. Multiple machines; mandrels; driving; feedmotions. -In an automatic multiple phonograph for reproducing long speeches &c., the records successively roll down an inclined plane to the e reproducing position, where they are frictionally rotated, and then roll further down the plane and are restored to the magazine. The records A are held by springs 89, Fig. IV., in slots 86 on hollow supports having flanged ends 85, 87, the end 87 being composed of a detachable ring. When in position under the stylus, the recordsupport is rotated by resting on its flanges on four wheels 56, Fig. I, driven by intermediate gearing from the motor 17. The stylus is traversed by means of a sleeve 33, Fig. IX, attached at 80 to a cord 73 which is wound up on a drum 64 rotated by frictional contact with a worm-wheel 30; this is turned by a worm 31, operated by intermediate gearing from the motor. Frictional contact between the flange 66 of the drum 64 and the worm-wheel 30 is secured by the pressure of a lever 71 in rollercontact at one end with a pivoted frame 58, which carries the wheels 56, and at the other end having a pin 69 and cross-pin 70 held against the flange 65 of the drum 64. At the end of the reproduction of a record, a projection on the upper surface of a drum 36, Fig. 1, rotated by intermediate gearing from the motor, raises, by means of a rod 39, the frame 58 pivoted on the shaft 55. To the frame 58 are attached rods 62, Fig. IX, which raise the reproducer, and the lever 71, being freed from contact with the frame 58, sets free the drum 64, allowing a weight attached to the cord 73 to unwind the cord, thereby moving the reproducer to the starting-point. Meanwhile the record, having been simultaneously raised by the wheels 56 on the frame 58, has run down the incline 81 to the magazine, and a roller on a lever 41 has come to a vertical part in a cam 43 on the drum 36, allowing a weight 50 to pull down the lever 41, and thereby also links 48 and rods 49 having projections 49<1>, which press down the record into the magazine. A record at the other end of the magazine is thus pressed up and rolls down the incline till by its weight it lowers the frame 58, which lowers the stylus. The records pass round the lower part of the magazine with very little friction, a chain of specially-shaped links 11 with small rollers 12 being carried round inside the castings 5, the rollers engaging flanges on the castings.

Abstract: 12,206. Pickles, M. May 18. Take-up motions.-In apparatus for letting- back the warp a predetermined distance when the loom stops owing to breakage of the weft, the ratchet-wheel C, Fig. 1, of the take-up motion is engaged by a pivoted toothed device A. While the loom is running, the device A is held in a raised position by the teeth of the ratchet-wheel C, but when the loom is stopped, the catches E, F are raised and the ratchetwheel C turns back until it is arrested bv a stop L on the ' device A abutting against a projection K<1> on a fixed bracket G. If the loom stops without the weft being broken, the parts may be returned to their original positions by pulling the handle A' to the left until the stop L strikes a part K of the bracket G. The catch-rod that carries a device for disengaging the pawls E, F is turned by an arm P<1>, Figs. 2 and 4, operated by the slotted end P of a lever N pivoted on the stud L<1> of the weftfork slide-lever M. When the lever M is turned to stop the loom, the lever N is turned, to operate the arm P<1>, by the faller lever Q of the loom brake acting against an incline N<1> on the lever N.

Abstract: 14,625. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., and Collins, N. June 17. Controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism for.-Motor controllers, starting-switches, &c. are provided with step-by-step retarding- mechanism comprising two series of stops in different planes, one for each direction of travel of the arm, the stops in each series engaging consecutively with a pawl mounted so as to travel with the handle. A pair of reversed pawls 11, 12, one for each series of stops, are pivoted on a revolving member 2 operated by the handle 1 and itself pivotally mounted on the controller spindle 4 so as to rotate therewith and also to enable the handle to be depressed. The member 2 carries a piece 6 pivoted at 3 and ending in a roller 8, and bearing on a spring 7 so as to maintain the handle level. The reversed pawls 11. 12, having one end connected by a spring 17 and bearing against the member 2, are pivoted thereon so as to engage with a series of stops 9, 10 and cam-surfaces 15, 16, one set on each half of the casing. On rotation of the handle, one pawl engages a stop and prevents further rotation of the handle and controller; but on depressing and rotating the handle, the pawl disengages from the stop and engages an inclined surface to raise the handle so as to make the pawl engage the next stop. The same action is repeated with every stop until the 'full on ' position is reached, whereupon the pawl engages a stop preventing further rotation. The handle can be quickly returned to the ` off ' position as the one pawl wipes idly over the stops and the other pawl does not engage its corresponding stops, which are on the other half of the casing. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the cam-lifts 15, 16 are on the bottom of the casing instead of on the sides, and the member 2 has a hanging web 20 to engage the surfaces 15, 16. The pawls 11, 12 have separate springs.
