Patent GB-190803571-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Carriage Feeding Mechanism for Lathes.
Inventor: POTTER JAMES CHARLES
Filed: 1908-02-17
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 3571. Potter, J. C. Feb. 17. Lathes in which carriages, particularly turret slides, have an increased range of traverse imparted by mechanism independent of the cam-drum, as described in Specification No. 19,267, A.D. 1907, are provided with means whereby the independent mechanism can be operated at a fast speed during the greater part of the travel and at a lower speed during the reversal of the carriage and indexing of the turret. Means are also provided to correspondingly increase the speed of rotation of the cam-drum while the high-speed mechanism is in operation. A shaft B<4>, Fig. 7, is gear-driven from a belt pulley and is geared to the chuck spindle C and to a wheel E<1> through a sleeve A<1>, D<1> loose on the shaft P. The wheel E<1> is mounted on a sleeve G<1> adapted to be clutched to the shaft F' at I<1> for a fast drive of the shaft P at K<1>, and a wheel N' is mounted on a sleeve M<1> adapted to be clutched to the wheel E<1> when the latter is not clutched to the shaft F<1> for a slower drive of this shaft at N'. The shaft P is geared at o<1>, o<2>, Fig. 2, to the turret-slide actuating-means described in the said Specification. The cam-drum F is driven from the chuck spindle C through a belt pulley W<1> containing differential gearing, and at a faster speed from the shaft F<1> through gearing X<1>, Y' ... Y<5>, the spindle C then over-running its normal drive as permitted by a clutch in the wheel B<9>. The sleeve G<1> is traversed by a bell-crank lever P<1> operated by a cam-path in a yoke P', which is traversed on a rod Q' and controlled by a spring S' and cam R', rotated by a star-wheel T<1> engaged by pins on a disk U' on the cam shaft. The sleeve M' is traversed by a lever Z<1> linked by a rod A<2> to a lever B<21>, Fig. 4, having a bowl b<2> engaging a camgroove g<2> in the rack-bar G which traverses the turret slide, so that the turret slide and cam-drum both control their speed-changing mechanism and ensure operation at correct points of the travel.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Shuttle Guards for use in connection with Looms.
Inventor: HERDMAN FREDERICK SEPTIMUS
IPC: D03D49/58
Filed: 1909-04-26
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 9825. Herdman, F. S., Hutchinson, J., and Culbert, J. April 26. Shuttle guards of the kind constructed to be brought into action automatically when the loom is started, and to move so as to clear the temples during the movements of the lay, and capable of being folded up when the loom is stopped. According to the invention, links c<1>, c<2> are pivotally attached to brackets a on the lay-cap b, Figs. 1, 3, and 4. The links have angular checks c', c<4>, and one end of each link is riveted to a rod d extending the whole length of the shuttle-race. To give the movement to clear the temples, levers c are pivoted at each end of one of the rods d and to levers f pivoted to lugs on the brackets a. Adjustable rods h are pivoted to the loom frame j, and engage the levers f by means of a spring l. A cord m, attached to one end of a rod d, passes over pulleys o on the laycap, and is attached to a bolt p<4>, which passes freely through a lever p and is engaged by a spring p<3>. The lever p is pivoted to the frame of the loom and to a lever r<2>, which is pivoted to a lever r having a tapered end r<1>. The end r<1> of the lever r is engaged by an adjustable roller s<2>, carried by a lever s pivoted to the knock-off lever E. A projection s<4> of the lever s engages the end of a slot u, and thereby prevents the lever s from being raised till the handle E is shifted. When the levers E, s are moved into the position shown in dotted lines, the loom is stopped and the guard is raised into its inoperative position, as shown in Fig. 8.

Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 12,764. Garvie, J., and Cole, S. A. May 29. Fluid-actuated gears; slide valves. - Relates to a rock drill or fluid-pressure engine wherein the admission of fluid is controlled by a ball valve 16, and the exhaust is controlled by the piston 2 which passes a central exhaust port 5 placed nearer the forward than the back end of the cylinder. The valve-chest, which is preferably cast with the cylinder, is bored longitudinally, and receives two hollow perforated adjustable plugs 14, which are internally tapered at their hollow ends to form the seats 15 of the valve. When the piston opens the port 5 to exhaust one end of the cylinder, the compression of fluid in the other end of the cylinder moves the valve 16 from its seat 15. The pressure fluid completes the motion of the valve to the other seat.

Seaming.-In a rotary-work, can-seaming machine the levers for operating the seaming-tools are controlled by a swinging frame operated by a foot-lever, which also raises the work-table. The levers 32 are mounted on adjustable fulcra, and are actuated by a cam on a worm-driven shaft 39 carried by the swinging frame 50; when the frame is raised by the engagement of a bowl 55, operated by a foot-lever, with a projection 57, the driving-belt between pulleys 48, 49 is tightened, and the worm is driven. A pivoted catch 60 holds the frame in the raised position for one revolution of the shaft 39, and is released by a pin 61, the frame then dropping on to a brake block 56. The work-table 2 is lifted by a spring- toggle 14, 19, the operating-rod being spring-actuated from the catchlever 52. The roller slides 5, two in number, are mounted in a box 28, which is pivoted horizontally in a tubular portion 29 of the frame, and is adjustable horizontally by screws 31. An angle-bar 70, Fig. 6, acts as a gauge to position the can on the table, and is moved away as the table is raised ; as the table falls, the gauge moves back against the rotating can and knocks it down a runway 76.
