Abstract: 12,624. Hartwell, L. L. May 24. Bevelling, skiving, &c.-Relates to work supporting and clamping means, particularly for machines used for skiving parts of boots &c. The work-support is adapted to adjust itself automatically to meet the requirements of work of various thickness in order to secure a skive of uniform width, and clamping-means is provided for clamping the work on each side of the line of cut. A support 38 receives the work x, and is mounted to swing about an axis y to clamp yieldingly the work against a fixed member 17, as shown in Fig. 5. This movement of the support is effected by suitable connexions with a shaft which, through a treadle-operates clutch, is coupled for a single rotation to a source of power. The material is severed by a guillotine knife 14, to which is imparted a drawcut movement, and which passes through the material in a vertical plane through the axis y. A presser-member a serves to clamp the work in proximity to the axis y, and is mounted on a rock-shaft b operated from a cam r through the link-work shown in Fig. 2. The operating- means of the presser-member a and the worksupport 38 both comprise spring connexions which serve to release the work from the clamping effect of these parts as soon as the cut has been made. The work-support is provided with a yieldingly supported plug 49 to assist in clamping the work, and it may also carry a block w to support the work below the line of severance.

Filed: 1911-06-28
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 12,687. Floyd, J. H., and Rigby, C. June 28. Valves, reversing. - A reversing-valve for regenerative gas furnaces is arranged so as to avoid waste of gas during reversal. The casing A, having a gas inlet C, contains a tongue valve L, which is rocked by a weighted lever P to open the gas passage to either of the extensions F of the casing. Each of these extensions covers two openings H, J, leading to the furnace and chimney respectively. Liftvalves or caps S fit upon seatings R over the outlets J, and are suspended from arms T rocked from the lever P by the linkage shown. In the position indicated, gas is admitted to the furnace through the left-hand opening H, and the waste products pass to the chimney by the right-hand outlet J. On reversing the valve, the left-hand lift-valve S is not raised until the tongue-valve L and right-hand valve S have nearly reached their new positions, owing to the lost motion introduced by the pin- and-slot connexion between the link W and the lower end of the lever P. Waste of gas, which would otherwise occur during the reversal, is thus avoided.

Abstract: 8648. Murphy, J. April 12. Couplings, automatic, of the wrist-action type, are provided with mechanism for effecting the coupling operation by the impact of the usual side buffers. The buffers are connected by a cross-bar D carrying a rod G, which is adapted, when the buffers are compressed, to engage the reduced lower end of a #-shaped member M, which slides freely in a vertical hole in a member H pivoted to the vehicle underframe. The member H, so operated, bears against an arm P carried by the drawbar B<1> and rotates the drawbar to place the automatic hook A in coupled position. The parts are locked in this position by a pawl C engaging behind a tooth on a wheel Y fixed on the draw-bar.
