Abstract: 28,539. Favarger, A. Dec. 24. Indicating at a distance electrically.-Relates to electrom a g n e t i c apparatus for producing synchronous movements by means of alternating currents, applicable to electric indicators. In its simplest form, the apparatus consists of an electromagnet E, provided with toothed or beaked pole-pieces p, p<1>, and an armature in the shape of an iron or steel disc, formed with ratchet teeth, and polarized by a permanent steel magnet A. The arrangement is such that, when the pole-piece p is immediately opposite an armature tooth, the polepiece p' is opposite a space between two armature teeth. When an alternating current is sent through the magnet E, the armature rotates through the space of half a tooth with each alternation of the current. Several modifications are described. In one of these, the pole-pieces are each formed with a number of teeth. In another, both the pole-piece and the armature are in the form of discs having teeth on their opposed surfaces. In a further construction, the armature consists of a pair of toothed discs, arranged side by side between a pair of beaked pole-pieces, or between two pairs of beaked pole-pieces. Finally, the armature may be polarized by a coil carrying a continuous current instead of by a permanent magnet.

Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 7394. Foster, R. J., and Buckle, J. W. March 28. Linotype machines. -Relates to the construction of the shifter or carriage of linotype machines, and to means for adjusting the assembler - s lid d e to accommodate a given length of line. To one part d of the delivery carriage is pivoted a ratchet-toothed bar g having teeth one pica apart. The long delivery finger k is attached to the part c of the carriage, and has secured to it a rigid pawl which engages the teeth of the ratchet-bar g. A coiled spring m, attached to the part c of the carriage, bears upon the top of the bar g, and another spring connects the two parts of the carriage. When the carriage is returning after the delivery of a line, if the finger k should catch on the top of a line of matrices which has not been lowered into alignment with the mould, the bar g will slip over the pawl l and breakage will be prevented. This construction also allows the finger g to be easily adjusted. The length of the line is determined as usual by means of an adjustable stop s and a fixed stop t. The assembler-slide e is provided with a slot u through which passes a projection v, Fig. 4, on the stop s. On the other side of the slide e is a retaining-plate w having a projection y which enters the slot u. The stop s and plate w are connected by a screw 2. The stop s is caused to lock itself automatically in any required position on the assembler-slide by means of a pin 4, which is pressed by a spring into engagement with one of a number of perforations 3 in the slide. The perforations 3 are one pica apart, or the same distance as the teeth on the bar g. To enable the stop to be adjusted to smaller distances than a pica, a piece 10 is hinged to the stop s so that it may be swung down between the stops s, t. Scales r, r' enable the line to be centered or justified.

Lathes.- Relates to a variable-speed driving- mechanism for lathes &c., of the type described in Specification No. 122, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Velocipedes]. As applied to the driving-wheel of a tri-car, the hub d is driven through the sliding drum c, sleeve b, clutch f, g and a central boss e, which may be a solid disc or a serios of drums to which the chain-wheel or belt pulley is bolted. The toothed wheels h, i are loosely mounted upon the sleeve b and axle a respectively, and are separated by the toothed end j of the sleeve b and a support k secured to the axle a. On the disc k are mounted three sets of wheels l, m, n with preferably four wheels to each set, which are adapted to gear with the wheels h, j, i respectively. The wheels n are formed with spindles o on which are secured the wheels m, l, which may be in one piece. When the clutch members f, g of the drum c and sleeve b are in engagement, a direct drive is obtained. On moving the drum to the left until the clutch g engages with the clutch p of the wheel h, motion is imparted to the hub through the train of toothed wheels j, m, l, h. The remaining speed is obtained when the clutch members q, r of the drums c and wheel i respectively are in engagement. The clutch members are preferably of the square-toothed type. The driving-mechanism is reversed when one of the clutch members s formed at the ends of the drum is moved into engagement with one or more of clutch members t formed on the wheels l, n. The drum c is operated through a rod u passing through the axle a by a Bowden transmission mechanism or the like v connected by a swivel joint w. The rod u is surrounded by two springs x, y separated by an abutment 1 on the axle. The spring y serves to take the pulling strain when the clutches are not directly opposite, and is interposed between the abutment 2 on the rod u and a pin 3 which is connected to the drum c and slides through slots 4, 5 of the rod u and axle a respectively. The spring x maintains the drum c in its normal position. The ball-bearing cone 8 is preferably fixed at the driving end of the axle a. The boss 9 of the hub d is screw-threaded so that a sprocketwheel driven by a pedal may be attached.

Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 25,266. Heaton, W. Nov. 21. Nailing.-Relates to tack-separating mechanism for a nailin g-machine. The tacks gravitate down an inclined shoot 3, shown in plan in Fig. 7, until they meet the rear end of a slotted rectangular slide 4, which is reciprocated transversely across the lower end of the shoot. This plate is connected by a pin or screw 24, Fig. 2, to a vertical arm bolted to a horizontal sliding bar 20<a>; it is positively actuated in one direction by the action on this bar of a cam 20 on the main shaft 19 of the machine, and returned to its inoperative position by a spring 23. A blade spring 25 bearing on the upper end of the arm 21 allows the latter to yield when a tack jams, and so prevents damage to the machine. As the slide 4 moves across the shoot, a bevelled finger 9 separates the foremost tack, and feeds it through a vertical gate 10 cut in the slide, into a recess 14 in a block 12 detachably secured to the front plate of the machine. The tack remains in this recess, with its point resting on a carrier plate 15, until the latter is moved outwardly by a sliding bar 16, which is reciprocated by a rocking lever 17 operated by a grooved cam on the main shaft 19. The tack then falls into a throat 5 removably fitted in the p!ate 15, and is carried thereby beneath the tack driver 6 as the plate returns. The slide 4 is provided with another recess on its rear face, as shown at 11, so that on its return journey it will allow the next tack to come sufficiently far forward to ensure that it will be properly engaged by the finger 9 at the next inward movement of the slide.
