Abstract: 21,748. Bauer, G. Oct. 29. Planing and, shaping; milling.- A machine for shaping the surfaces of propeller blades has an arm A pivoted on a stud B secured in the propeller boss N. The arm is rotated by an electromotor E, countershaft V, belt pulleys T, and worm s engaging a worm-wheel R fixed on the stud B. A slide S on the arm carries a tool-holder F, which is moved vertically, as the arm rotates, by a wheel on a shaft w engaging a rack on the holder, the shaft being driven by change-wheels z<1>, z<2>, z<3>, z<4>, from the worm shaft, the whole of the driving-gear being carried by the arm. The combined motions cause the tool K to trace a helical path to shape the blade, the driving-mechanism being provided with suitable reversing-means to cause the tool arm and tool to reciprocate, the slide S being fed along the arm after each stroke by the engagement of a star-wheel M on a screw Q with a fixed stop. The outer end of the arm may be supported on a guide G. To form helical surfaces, the generating-lines of which form an angle with the axis X, X, the tool is raised vertically at the end of each stroke by means of a star-wheel 0 on a screwed spindle engaging a tool-slide H on the holder, or the arm may be set at the required angle to the axis. The feed-motions may also be varied to form helical surfaces, the genera ting-lines of which are curves or have sections making various angles with the axis. The shaping-tool may be replaced by a milling-tool.

Abstract: 767. Hollingworth, E. Jan. 10. Loom change-box motions; reversing-mechanism.- The mutilated toothed wheels 3 employed for driving, in the usual way, the mutilated toothed pinions 5 from which motion is transmitted positively to the boxes, are rotated by means of toothed wheels 11 and pinions 10 mounted on an auxiliary shaft 12 concentric with a hollow picking- shaft 9. This shaft 12 is driven from the usual pattern-mechanism by means of a shaft 19, bevelwheels 17, 18, and toothed gearing 14. The shafts 9 and 12 are connected, so as to rotate as one shaft, by a clutch comprising a member 20 fitted to slide along the shaft 9 and carrying pins 21 which are adapted to pass through apertures in a collar 22 fixed to the shaft 9, and a collar 23 fixed to the shaft 12. The clutch is actuated by arms 25 mounted on a rocking-shaft 26 which carries an arm 27 connected to a weighted lever by means of a rod 28 ; when the loom is stopped, to allow of its being turned back to find broken ends or for other purposes, the weaver disengages the clutch by throwing back the weighted lever ; the shaft 12 can then be rotated to any extent independently of the loom. During the reversal of the pattern mechanism in the usual way, motion is transmitted through the gearing 18, 17, 14, 10, 11, to the toothed wheels 3. The auxiliary shaft may be mounted separately from the picking-shaft if there is sufficient space to allow of this being done. When dobby pattern-mechanism is employed, the pinions 5 are thrown into gear with the wheels 3, for effecting changes of the boxes, by arms 4 mounted on the pinions 5 and adapted to engage with starting teeth on the wheels 3 in the usual way ; the arms 4 are actuated by bell-crank levers 6 mounted on a shaft 7 and connected by rods 8 to the pattern mechanism. When a harness jacquard is used, the cords or wires from the jacquard are connected to levers having catches which are raised or lowered by the cords or wires, so as to miss or hit oscillating-levers formed with slots through which the catch levers pass. The catch levers are connected to pivoted levers which actuate the arms 4.

Abstract: 12,685. Purrott, A. E., and Willard, E. W. June 5. Acetylene lamps. - Relates to an acetylene generator for use with motor car or other lamps, which may or may not be independent of the lamp, and also to means for clearing the gas-supply passages from condensed moisture and other impurities. The carbide may be held in cartridges d with suitable removable airtight ends. The cartridges are supported on a perforated and pointed carrier e, with a flange at the bottom, or carbide may be supported on the carrier without the cartridges. A considerable space is left between the perforated carrier and the water-supply tube b<1>, which has a perforated cap at the top, and is screwed at the bottom to fit a cycle air pump for cleaning. The carbide holder b fits a cover/, in the upper part of which, above a perforated plate c', the purifying-materials are situated. The cover f has a screwed cap f<1> carrying a supply cock f<2>, and fastening on to the water chamber a. The water level being high in the chamber a, the water passes by gravity up the pipe b<1> on to the carbide, until sufficient gas has been generated to prevent any more water from passing, and, as the gas is passed through the cock f<2>, and the pressure reduced, so more water passes up the pipe b<1> to the carbide. The carbide cartridges are taken off the stem e when the carbide is used up, and may be refilled. In some cases, where the water is dropped on to the carbide, the cartridge itself has a perforated metal tube down the centre. The gas passes from the cock f<2> to a gas bag, from which condensed moisture &c. may be removed by a cock placed at the lowest point. A similar cock is also placed under the burner.
