Tapping.-In a multiple nut-tapping machine, a number of rotating taps are mounted in a head automatically and intermittently rotated so as to be brought in succession into alinement with the blanks which are fed from a shoot; the taps are rotated only when in the working position and the shank of each tap is filled with nuts before the head is rotated. Two tap spindles G<1> are mounted in a head C, which surro unds the driving-spindle B, the head being rotated in a housing D on an axis which is eccentric to the spindle B, so that a tap is rotated only when opposite the nut slide M; the taps are driven by a pinion F on the spindle B engaging pinions e<1> on the tap spindles. The head is rotated from the spindle B by spur gears 1, 2, 3, 4, p, c<1> through a friction coupling L. The head is normally held in its two fixed positions by stops c<3>, c<4> engaging a lever U, which is operated by a cam v on a shaft V rotated by ratchet gear v<2>, v<3>, toggle levers x, x<1>, and spur gear W, b<3> from the shaft B, so that the lever may be timed to move and so release the stops when the tap shank is full. The blanks drop from a shoot K on to a shelf m on a slide M which is pressed forward between guides which prevent rotation of the blank, by a spring- operated lever N, retracted by a cam O. Two bevelled spring plungers project into the path of the slide so as to press the blank against the front wall of the slide. The slide is provided with a hole in alinement with the hole in the blank, which is made L-shaped for the removal of chips. In order to prevent the feeding of blanks during the rotation of the head, a catch Z is moved into a notch in the slide by a link z<1> and lever y<1> on a shaft Y pressed down by a spring y<3>, so that a lever y on its other end engages a notch in a disk v<5> on the shaft V. The spindle B also carries change-speed gears F<1>, F<2> moved into position on replacing the two wheels e<1> by other gears.
