Title: Improvements in Worm Gearing and in a Method of Manufacturing the same.
Inventor: FLEURY PAUL
IPC: B23F15/06

Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 13,189. Fleury, P., and Morin, [known as Gauthier], H. Dec. 2, 1912, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Gear-cutting.-In worm gearing of the kind in which a worm having a varying pitch gears with teeth projecting from the face of a wheel, a worm having a pitch which varies as described below gears with a face-wheel having cut teeth. The teeth are cut on the face of the wheel by a cutter provided with a thread of a varying pitch identical with the worm which is to mesh with the wheel; the cutter and the wheel blank being rotated at the proper relative speeds and gradually moved closer together as the teeth are being cut. The worm and wheel are shown in Fig. 3, the form of the worm thread being shown developed in Fig. 2, in which the generating line of the cylinder is parallel with the axis y y<1>. The form of the thread is determined by the trace of a point moving in a circular path of the radius of the worm-wheel, upon a cylinder of the diameter of the worm rotating uniformly upon its axis, the relative rates of rotation corresponding to those of the gear elements to be formed. Owing to the circular movement of the tracing-point, the pitch of the thread decreases in one direction from the middle as shown at I and increases in the other direction as shown at H. Specification 1262/79 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) is not restricted to a particular form of worm or crown wheel, and also comprises means for cutting a worm of varying pitch, as described above, by revolving a cylinder blank at the required rate in front of a cylindrical or slightly conical cutter revolving upon its own axis, and carried by a rotating plate corresponding in radius and rate of movement to the worm-wheel with which the worm under construction is to gear. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

The trough a, to the upper end b of which the material and water are fed, is reciprocated vertically by a tappet-wheel e which may be operated by a water-wheel w driven by the effluent from the trough, the teeth of the wheel e being of such form that the roller f on the trough tends, on its descent, to assist the rotation. Weirs h, h<1>, h<2> are provided in the trough, from behind which the deposited material may be removed through holes controlled by shutters operated by levers p. Below the weir h there is provided a transverse row of classifiers k, supplied with upward currents of water through which the coarse sand falls, while the smaller and lighter particles pass on into the trough. At the lower end, the trough delivers into a launder q provided with a settling-tank r and with a ridge t leading to an opening v. Pipes may be provided for discharging water on to the material in the upper part of the trough. In a modification, the classifiers k are dispensed with, and the coarse sands are separated by an inclined screen placed across the trough and sprayed with water; and in a further modification, a number of riffles are provided across the trough spaced from the bottom. Mercury may be placed in suitable positions for amalgamating the gold. The Provisional Specification describes also a form in which two troughs are mounted endto-end, the whole being reciprocated see-saw fashion and fed at the middle.

Abstract: 6012. Heath, A. W., Freeman, R. J., and Phillips, S. March 10. Guards, controlling.-The guard for a power or other press is arranged so that the two hands of the operator are required for starting the press, and means are also provided for closing the guard should the ram accidentally fall. The starting-lever j is returned to the out of gear ' position by a spring and is retained in that position by means of a weighted detent k, which is released by a projection a<1> on the guard a when the guard is moved to the closed position against the action of a spring. Thus, in starting the press, one hand of the operator is required to retain the guard, while the other hand is employed in moving the lever j. A quadrant f adjustably connected to the press ram e. carries a roller engaging a lever c pivoted at one end to a bar b carried by the press and engaging through a roller c<3>, an inclined plate d on the guard. Should the ram fall, the lever e is depressed and forces the guard to the closed position, removing the operator's arm out of danger. The sudden movement of the guard causes abnormal depression )f a buffer n and enables a detent o to engage a pin p on the guard to retain it in the closed position. Specification 9423/13 is referred to.
