Title: Improvements relating to Toothed Driving-gear.
Inventor: HUMPHRIS FRANK
IPC: B23F1/06
Filed: 1909-06-21
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 14,506. Humphris, F. June 21. Gear-cutting.-Bell or helmet shaped teeth and recesses, of the kind described in Specification 22,535/08, are generated by a rotary cutter the axis of which corresponds to the axis of symmetry of the tooth or recess. As arranged for generating teeth on spur-wheels, a blank B, Fig. 1, rolls in relation to a fixed cutter A as if it were in gear with a wheel with its axis at e. The wheel blank is carried by a dividing-head carried by a base D pivoted at e, guided at K and traversed at K<1>. Rolling motion is produced by a segment G on the dividing-head engaging a fixed segment H. In a modification plain segments are used, slipping being prevented by various arrangements of bands or wires. The same principle is applied to internal wheels, the segment H being in this case an internal one, and the axis e being correspondingly displaced. In the case of large wheels, the blank is fixed, and the cutter spindle is mounted in a frame oscillating about the axis of the blank and also oscillates in the frame about an axis corresponding to the axis of the pinion of which the cutter represents one tooth. In an arrangement for bevel-gears, the cutter axis is fixed, and the blank is carried in proper relation on a mandrel carrying a corresponding toothed segment engaging a fixed segment. The mandrel is carried in an adjustable trunnioned support. Fig. 13 shows a construction particularly adapted for generating the elements of the change gearing described in the Specification referred to above. The blank B is mounted on a dividing-head trunnioned in a frame D and carrying a mandrel C' guided at D' and carrying a segment at G to produce the rolling motion by engagement with a corresponding member H. In this type of gearing, concentric rows of holes are generated in the blank B to engage with the same pinion. The same member H suffices to generate all the spaces, it being adjusted to and from the centre of the mandrel C', and the cutter being correspondingly adjusted. The segment G must, however, be changed. In a modification, the mandrel C' is angularly adjustable in the frame D to suit bevelgears of which the axes are not at right-angles. In further modifications for bevel-gearing, the blank is fixed, and the cutter has the rolling motion. Machines may be arranged with a rectilinear bodily movement between the blank and cutter in order to produce rack-and-pinion gearing.

Filed: 1910-04-09
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 8650. Sulman, H. L., and Picard, H. F. K. April 9. Dry processes of extracting lead.-Complex ores or products are subjected to a reducing roast, so that only the more readily reducible oxide is converted into metal, which is then separated by a differential surface-tension method such as is described, for example, in Specifications 7803/05 and 2359/09, [Class 82(ii), Washing granular &c.]. J. Sulphide ores or concentrates are subjected to a preliminary calcination to form oxides; if, however, some of the sulphides are converted into sulphates, the sulphates of the more readily reducible metals are converted into sulphides during the reducing roast, and separated by the subsequent concentration. The process is particularly applicable to the separation of lead from zinc-lead ores; such ores are heated to a temperature of about 600‹ C. with carbon or in a current of reducing-gas, and the metallic lead separated by concentration as above described.

Abstract: 12,701. Adams, A. H., and Adams Manufacturing Co. May 25. Electro-magnetic switches. - Electric switch apparatus for automatically changing-over the connexions of a consumer's circuit to a secondary or alternative supply in case of failure of the normal supply comprises a relay excited from the normal supply mains, and electro-magnetic switches excited alternately in the two contact positions of the relay. In the arrangement for single-pole connexions, Fig. 5, normal current in the supply mains 8, 9 excites the coil of the relay a sufficiently to keep the upper bridge-piece g across the upper contacts, and the lower bridge-piece g<1> off the lower contacts. In a constructional form of the relay, Fig. 1, the bridge-pieces g, g<2> are spring-seated copper disks mounted on a screw-threaded part of an iron plunger-rod f working up and down in a hollowed core c, which itself can work up and down in the solenoid. A non-magnetic stop c<1> and a non-magnetic lining c<2> prevent the iron parts from striking. The relay is self-resetting. So long as the upper bridge-piece is on its contacts, an exciting-circuit is maintained through a connexion 13 to the coil m<1> of the contact or switch between the positive supply main 8 and the positive side 23 of the consumer's circuit. The contact or switch is constructed with main contacts r, s and auxiliary sparking - contacts v, w, magnetic blow - out t, and an auxiliary carbon-contact switch 2 for inserting a resistance 7 in the exciting-coil circuit. When the bridge-pieces of the relay fall, the coil m<1> is deenergized, and the coil m<3> of the alternativesupply contactor is energized to effect the change over. The separate switches are mechanically interlocked so that only one can be closed at a time, by means of inclined abutments on the switch-levers, co-operating with a lever carrying a pair of rollers in the path of the abutments. A double-pole arrangement is provided with four contactor switches working in pairs simultaneously. Electrically-released switches.-The changeover device shown in Fig. 1 may be designed so that the coil will not lift the core to reset the switch when once it has fallen due to failure of the supply. In this case a resetting handle h is provided, and the winding is designed to maintain the core when manually raised.
