Abstract: 18,656. Weber, R. Sept. 15. Lathes. - In an automatic machine for threading screw taps, the magazine M containing the blanks is moved by means of a camgroove h' to bring the lowest blank in line with the chuck a', the centre b is advanced by the cam drum T<1> to engage the push - bar q<1> and thus force the blank i into the chuck a', the chuck is caused to grip the work by means of a cam drum T', the centre b is withdrawn by a weight b<2>, the magazine moved away, and the centre b is then advanced to support the work i and the chuck b<1> caused to grip the centre by means of the cam drum T<1>. The tools e are secured on a drum d pivoted to a slide f which can move transversely on the saddle g, and are traversed along the work as shown at 2, retracted as at 3, returned as at 4, and advanced into operative position again as at 6. The movement 2 is effected by a screw p and nut o, and the movement 4 by weights b<4> when the nut is disengaged from the screw by a cam r<1>. The movement 3 is effected by a sliding rod l and projections h<1> on an intermittently rotated wheel h, and the movement 6 by a spring, the extent of this movement and consequently the depth of cut being determined by a stop g' and set-screws d<1>, one for each tool e. During each movement 3, the rod l withdraws the locking-bolt t and rotates the drum d one step by means of a lever s, a link s<4>, and a pawl s<3>. When the threading is completed, and while the tap is being ejected by the spring rod a<3> and another blank inserted, the drum d is kept away from the spindle a by a long projection on the wheel h, but the saddle g continues to be traversed to and fro along the bed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Road Rolling and like purposes
Inventor: TIMMERMANS DONATUS
Filed: 1907-01-21
Granted: 1908-01-21
Abstract: 1564. Timmermans, D. Jan. 21. Motor road vehicles.-The acting weight of a road roller is increased by loading it with the broken stone. The stone may be loaded by means of a rotary crane, and a grab mounted on the roller or otherwise ; it may be screened in a separate wagon or on the roller itself. When the roller is fitted with screening - apparatus, the stone falls from the hopper a upon a shaking screen 1, from which the largest stones are shot into the chamber 2. The finer material drops through to a shaking screen 3 from which the medium-grade stones slide on to a sieve 4, through which the finer particles pass into a chamber 5. The finest-grade material passes through the screen 3 into a chamber 6. The shaking screens in descending have their meshes cleared by spikes ; other forms of screening-apparatus may be used. The largest stones are first distributed and rolled lightly, and during subsequent rolling, the medium-grade stones are distributed. The pressure of the roller is then increased by recharging, and the rolling is continued till the bottom layer has been uniformly rolled in. The finest material from the chamber 6 is then distributed and rolled into the gaps in the mediumgrade material. For distributing the stones, a device as shown in Fig. 3 may be used, in which gripping-rollers 7 are rotated from the driving-shaft or wagon axle, the rate of rotation and the distance between the distributing-rollers being variable in order to regulate the rate of distribution. Springs 8 allow the rollers to separate for the passage of exceptionally large stones. A reciprocating rake may be placed diagonally to the track. The roller can be driven in either direction from a motor b through toothed wheels.
