Patent GB-190922759-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Driving and Reversing Gear for Engine Shafting.
Inventor: FERGUSON WILLIAM
IPC: F16H3/60
Filed: 1909-10-06
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 22,759. Ferguson, W., and Ferguson, D. R. Oct. 6. Reversing-gearing.-Relates to reversing-gearing, suitable for marine propulsion, of the type comprising a coned clutch member C secured to a driving-shaft B and connected to a toothed gear E', a corresponding member D secured to a driven shaft A and connected to a gear E, and planetary gears E<2> meshing with the gears E, E<1> and connected to a coned member H which may be slid into engagement with a coned surface J' inside a fixed casing J. Bevel-gearing is used, and the member C is connected to the gear E<1> by arms F extending from the gear between guide projections G so as to form a lost-motion coupling. This device allows the arms F tu move longitudinally along with the toothed gearing E', E', E and the members D, H when the shaft A is slid longitudinally by an operating-lever K. When the shaft A is slid to the left, the member D engages the member C, and a direct drive is effected. On sliding the shaft A to the right, the member H is caught by the surfaces J', and radial spindles I carrying the gears E<2> are held stationary. Power then passes through the coupling G to the gear E<1>, and through the gears E<2> to the gear E and shaft A, which are driven reversely.

Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 24,731. Brown, H. M. Oct. 27. Stoppering. - Relates to bottle sealing or stoppering devices adapted to operate, without readjustment, upon bottles of different lengths. In the head of the machine is a bodilymovable main spring 6 of adjustable tension provided with bearings 7, 8. As the head D of the machine descends, the spring rises until the upper bearing 7 is clutched to the head by a clamping-ring 11 adapted to be contracted by cams operated through a rocking arm 20 by a stationary post 23, a pin 22 on the post engaging a slot 21 in the arm. The machine head and spring then descend together for the remainder of the stroke to effect the sealing- operation. Mounted universally in the lower spring bearing 8 is a stoppering-tool and bottle centring and guiding device, which are all described in Specification 7837/10. A spring 21 returns the main spring to normal position.

Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 29,097. Wagner, G. Aug. 7. Lathes.-Variable-speed gearing of the class comprising two sets of stepped toothed wheels such as d, e, Fig. 3, connected in pairs alternatively by a pinion h longitudinally movable upon an oblique axis is described in connexion with lathes. As described in Specification 18,274/09, [Class 80(ii), Gearing, Variable-speed &c.], the pinion h is loosely mounted on an obliquely-bored box h<1> carried by an axle a, which has a parallel movement in a plane at right-angles to the plane of the driving and driven shafts k, l. The axle a is secured to slidable guide bars q, q', and the pinion h is movable along the axle a by a forked handlever u. In the arrangements shown in Figs. 3 and 5, a fixed plate p is provided having a long slot o parallel to the axle a. The hand-lever u embraces the pinion h, passes through the slot o, and carries a lug z<Î> for engaging any one of a number of notches y. To change the gear, the lever u is drawn outwards, slid along the slot o, and thrust back again. In a modification, shown in Fig. 4, the bars q, q' are connected also by a notched cross-bar z, which is threaded through an eye u' in the hand-lever u. To change the gear, the parts are drawn outwards together, the lever u is slid along the bar z, and a spring pin x is caused to engage a notch y on the bar z.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Cutting Gaskets and the like.
Inventor: ROSE JAMES ALONZO
IPC: B23D29/02
Filed: 1910-01-15
Granted: 1911-01-16
Abstract: 1092. Rose, J. A. Jan. 15. Ellipsographs &c.-Relates to machines for cutting-out gaskets &c. of either oval or circular shape, and to that type of machine comprising two vertical shafts 28, 16, which are adjustably connected by a member 22 and are adapted to move in paths at right-angles to each other while the cutters, which are attached to the lower end of the shaft 16, are moving in elliptical paths. According to the invention, a machine of this type is provided with improved means for guiding the shafts 28, 16 in their respective movements and with adjustable members for clamping the inner portions of the work. The work is held down by a ring-shaped base 1, carrying one or more annular segments 3, which are adjustable within the base 1 and serve to clamp the inner portions of the work. The cutters 20, 21 are clamped in their required relative positions in the lower slotted end of the shaft 16, which passes loosely through a bearing 15 supported by a wheeled carriage 9 adapted to move along guide-rails 8. The upper end of the shaft 16 is provided with a T-shaped member 22, which engages the lower end of the shaft 28, and to which it is clamped in the required position by a binding-screw 30. The shaft 28 is mounted to slide within guides 24 at rightangles to the guides 8, the mounting of the shaft being the same as that described with reference to the shaft 16. The height of the cuttersupporting means above the work is controlled by a screw 33, which passes through the actuating-handle 31 and bears on the upper carriage 26. At each revolution of the handle 31, a pinwheel 34 on the screw is intermittently rotated by a vertical pin on the upper carriage, thereby allowing the cutter-supporting means to descend to cut through the work. The apparatus may be adapted to cutting-out circular washers by a relative adjustment of the shafts 28, 16 to their coaxial position.

Abstract: 2392. Newton, P. A., [Hoe & Co., R.]. Jan. 31. Rotary and oscillating type for cutting rectilinearly. - Relates to a machine for severing a web of material transversely, and of the type in which the severance is effected by the co operation of a knife on one roller with a recess or the like on another roller, the knife being withheld from operation during one or more revolutions of the knife-carrier. The knife box 7 carrying the knife 5 is mounted in bearings in the brackets 10, and is normally maintained in its inoperative position, as shown in Fig. 2, by a spring-controlled rod 13 and link 11. The knife is swung into its operative position to engage with its co-operating grooved member 38 by the engagement of a roll 25 on the link 11 with the curved portion of a controller 16 pivoted to the shaft 17. Normally this controller is not in a position to engage the roll 25, but is adapted to be brought into such position at the required moments by a grooved cam 23. An arrangement of change-gearing is described for varying the speed of rotation of the cam 23, and consequently the intervals at which the knife acts.

Abstract: 7345. Lawton, G. W. March 24. Clutches; variable-speed gearing.-Relates to claw and friction clutches in which a circular disk or similar part is moved eccentrically to the shaft on which it is mounted, in order to put the clutch into operation, the application to variable-speed gearing for motor vehicles being shown and described. The clutches are applicable to punching, shearing, and like machines. The disk a, Fig. 1, which may have a cam surface or projection formed upon it, is provided with a rectangular slot b engaging a square shaft c. A spring f keeps the disk central until a key g with an outer inclined surface engaging a similar surface h on the disk is moved axially, whereby the disk is moved into such a position that it contacts with a plate d carried by the outer clutch part e. Instead of the plate d, a roller ball, slide block, or plunger may be used. As shown in Fig. 2, the disk may bear against a wedge o or a ball or roller bearing between the ends of a band k adapted to be expanded against the outer clutch part l. The clutch may be disengaged by the key g, and engaged by the spring f. For transmitting oscillating motion, the engaging parts have projections and recesses. Screws or cams may be used to operate the disks. Fig. 3 shows the application to a variable-speed gear. The driving-shaft r is provided with the outer part l of a clutch m similar to that shown in Fig. 2, and a pinion w gearing with a wheel 11 on a countershaft t.
