Abstract: 2704. Dymond, G. C., [Fuller, C. D.]. Feb. 10. Sharpening.-R e l a t e s to an improved machine which gives the proper variation in the clearance between the point and the periphery of a twist drill, enables the clearance to be varied, and allows drills of different sizes to be ground without special adjustment. The drill is laid in a V-shaped holder E, adapted to be swung to and fro on an axis C<11>, which makes an acute angle with the face of the grinding-disc B<1>. The apex of the groove in the holder meets the axis on the surface of the disc, and at such an angle as, when the holder is oscillated, to cause the drill to rock upon its axis, and so to have a greater clearance imparted to it at the point than at the periphery. The angle of the side of the V is such as to lift the axes of the drills in proportion to their diameter by an amount required to produce the proper clearance. The holder is mounted in the arm D on a curved seat struck from the apex of the groove, Figs. 8 and 9, and may be set at different angles on this seat, so that the position of the axis of the drill, in reference to a vertical plane passing through the apex of the holder, is adjustable. At the front end of the holder is an adjustable lip-rest d, Figs. 5 and 6, which holds the drill with its cutting- edge at the periphery in advance of that at the centre ; the lower part of this rest is flanged to lie against the lips of the smaller drills. A pivoted plate e, provided with a thumb-piece, is fitted in a slot in the holder for the purpose of lifting out the drills. The tail-rest consists of a block F provided with a clamping-yoke G and with a hollow stem H secured by a clamping-screw ; a screw I with an abutment I' fits in the end of the stem, and is adjustable by a nut I<11>.

Abstract: 8042. Allison, C. A., [Gomes, W. H.]. May 1. Engines actuated by mixed steam and air.-Relates to an arrangement of mechanism, which is practically automatic, for compressing air, for refrigerating, ice-making, and other purposes. Air is compressed by a pump P, actuated by a pair of cylinders N, in one of which expands the cooled compressed air, and in the other a mixture of steam and air from the boiler A. The compressed air passes through a surface cooler r into a reservoir I, when it is further cooled and compressed by water from a pump F, which is operated by a motor E supplied with steam from the boiler A. The rise and fall of the water in the chamber I is controlled by a float g, which simultaneously shuts the stop valve a of the motor E and the outlet valve c in the pipe k, and vice versÔ. The air is delivered through a water separator h into the reservoir M, whence part of it passes to the boiler A and part to the compressed-air engine N, the exhaust from which is conducted by a pipe T to the ice-making or refrigerating chamber V after further expansion in the motor cylinder A' of the liquid pump D<1>. The air and steam to the air engine N are automatically controlled by the air pressure in the pipe q, and the air and water supplied to the boiler are controlled by the pressure of the former and the level of the latter therein respectively. The oil for heating the boiler A is supplied automatically to the burner B from the tank C by the air or steam pressure.

Granted: 1902-01-09
Abstract: 2600. Vining, R. W., and Woolner, H. Feb. 6. Magic - lanterns.- Advertisements may, during the daytime, be displayed behind a window on a roller or like blind b, Fig. 1, which at a determined time in the evening is automatically wound up to permit the display of advertisements thrown on a translucent screen a by means of a magic-lantern. The time of actuation is determined by clockwork f, Fig. 2, having electric contacts g, g<1>, connected with the terminals n<5>, n<6> of a controlling-device, and having a finger g<2>, actuated by the clockwork, which is in connection with a battery r<3>, the other pole of which is, by means of wires the circuits through which energize the electromagnets r<1>, r<2>, connected with the terminals n<3>, n<4>. The pivoted arm carrying the armatures s of the electromagnets has a downwardly - projecting arm s' which, when the finger g' reaches the contact g', thus completing the circuit of, and energizing, the electromagnet r<1>, is tilted to the right. This movement serves to slide a clutch j<3>, Fig. 4, with which the arm is connected, into engagement with a pinion k loosely mounted on the shaft j, which is rotated, through worm gearing, by the motor r h. The pinion being thus put into gear with the shaft, actuates, through the pinions k<1>, d', the drum d, by which, through a cord c, the blind b is wound up. The ahaft d<3> of the drum is, through the pinion l, in gear with a pinion l<1> loosely mounted on the shaft j, and carrying cams m, m<1>, m' by which, when an electromotor is used, the switch o of the main motor-circuit t', and the switch o' of an electric arc lamp o<3> are actuated, and the switch n' is transferred from the terminals n<4>, n<5>, Fig. 2, to the terminals n<3>, n<6>. The lower end of the arm s' is held in the extreme position to the right by engagement with a shoulder on a pivoted lever s<3>. When an electromotor is used it is actuated in the first instance by a shunt circuit t<1> which is made by the tilting of the upper portion s<4> of the arm s<1>, through the spring contact t. The shaft actuates, through a cam u<2>, and ratchet mechanism, a wheel u<1> carrying along its periphery the lantern slides u, thus bringing them in succession before the lens. A cam on the shaft j also actuates a shutter w so as to cover the lens while a slide is being changed. A projection t<4> on the pinion l<1> trips a lever t<5> and releases from the lever s<3> the arm s', which, by means of the spring s<6>, Fig. 2, assumes a vertical position. When the finger g<2> reaches the contact g<1>, the electromagnet r<2> is energized, thus causing, through the arm s<1>, the disengagement of the pinion k and the engagement of the pinion j<1> with the shaft j. The pinion j<1> is directly in gear with the pinion d<1> on the drum d, and thus the reverse movement of all the parts is effected and the motor is stopped. A water or other motor may also be used.

Inventor: HEFTLER VICTOR
Filed: 1901-12-02
Granted: 1902-12-02
Abstract: 24,466. Heftler, V. Dec. 2. Fares and receipts, registering and checking.- The apparatus is described for registering and checking tram fares by distance, but is applicable for doing the same according to time, and in checking receipts and payments for goods. A printing-roller c<5> and a printing-drum D, having a pair of guide-rollers geared in series with them, convert a strip of paper into tickets as they unwind it from a reel C. Simultaneously counters J, K, L record respectively the number of tickets issued, their total value, and the number of tickets of only unit value, that being the fare between two consecutive stations. The roller bears set type for printing matter common to all the tickets. The drum contains dating- w h e e l s E, numbering- wheels F, and three wheels G, I, H for printing the initials or names of the places where a passenger mounts and alights, and his fare. The dating - wheels are set by hand, when the casing is opened, for which purpose it has a sliding back. The numbering-wheels are fed by a ratchet lever passing a catch. The place-printing wheels G, H are set by pressing in and turning two knobs g<5>, h<6>, and the fare-wheel is turned with them because they must be pushed in till they clutch it. A central rod attached to one place wheel thrusts the other so as to prevent it from being simultaneously turned, and detents are provided to fix the knobs when the wheels are not co-axial with them. The counters J, K, L being provided with star-wheels j, k, l, the first is operated by a fixed tooth j<1> on the drum, and the second by a fixed tooth k<1> and by a variable number of pivoted teeth k<2>, k<5>, to k<10>, which are thrown in and out of gear by a cam M turning with the farewheel ; the third counter is operated by a pivoted tooth l<1> which is put out of gear if any of the other teeth are put into gear. The place and fare wheels are provided with stops i<14> to prevent continuous rotation in the same direction. The upper half of the casing which holds the reel and the rollers turns down on a hinge b<3> to allow insertion of a fresh strip of paper, but a shutter b<9> connected to it by a link b<11> closes the hole in the partition b<4> between the drum and the rollers. In a modification, the fare-wheel is shifted in and out of gear with the place-wheels. In another modification, the gear between these wheels provides that the tickets shall show the direction of the journey. When nsed for recording the price to be charged for commodities, the device is operated by setting two indexes representing respectively the quantity of the commodity sold and the character or quality of such commodity, and bills are consequently printed.
