Title: Improved Automatic Machine for Shaping Nuts.
Inventor: MEISCHNER FRIEDRICH AUGUST
Filed: 1900-08-09
Granted: 1900-12-01
Abstract: 14,265. Meischner, F. A. Aug. 9. Milling.-A machine for shaping nuts by rotary tools has a countershaft 1 and driving-shaft 2, on which are two worms, one of which (not shown) drives two tool spindles 9, 10, and the other 3 drives a cross-shaft carrying cams 5. The cams serve to reciprocate vertically spindles 11, 12 carrying tables 13, 14. The rocking-levers 25 (only one being shown), by which the spindles are reciprocated, are connected to the spindles by an arrangement such as is described in Specification No. 13,261, A.D. 1900, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.], causing the reciprocation to impart an intermittent rotation to the tables. Under each table is a concentric plate partaking of the reciprocating but not the rotary motion of the tables. The nut blanks are placed in prismatic holes in the tables, and a pair of them are operated on by tools on the spindles 9, 10 when the tables are raised. By lowering the tables, a fresh pair is brought into line with the tools, the previous pair dropping out through a pair of holes in the non- rotary plates. In the event of there being any obstruction to the reciprocating or rotary motions of the tables, the levers 25 compress springs 23 instead of raising the tables, and thus disengage toothed clutches by which the rotary motion is imparted to the tables, the tables neither rising nor rotating.

Title: Improvements in the Rolling of Tubes.
Inventor: MANNESMANN MAX
Filed: 1902-03-22
Granted: 1903-03-19
Abstract: 7072. Mannesmann, M. March 22. Rolling.-In a process for rolling tubes from hollow blanks, the blank is assisted in its passage through the stretching or reducing rolls by a set of feed or pushing rolls, the speed of the pushing rolls being sufficiently in excess of that of the reducing-rolls to produce a slight upsetting of the blank between the sets of rolls, and thus loosening the blank on the supporting-mandrel before it reaches the reducing-set. The size and gripping- surfaces of the pushing-rolls are so proportioned that excessive upsetting is prevented by the slipping of the pushing-rolls. The pushing-rolls are preferably arranged to groove or flatten the blank, to facilitate its reduction without the formation of longitudinal fins or bulges at the edges of the reducing-rolls. Fig. 1 shows four pushing-rolls c acting on the blank b before its passage through the reducing-rolls a. If two or three reducing- rolls are used, two or three pushing-rolls, intermediately placed, are employed to produce flat surfaces on the blank. If fins are produced by the passage through the rolls a, they may be removed by cutters r, Fig. 5, and the tube smoothed and loosened on the mandrel by rolls a<1>. A positive movement may be imparted to the mandrel by attaching it to the chain d of a draw-bench. In place of the pushing-rolls, other devices may be used to push the blank forwards.

Title: Improvements in Electric Clocks
Inventor: ROMANZE OTTO
Filed: 1902-05-14
Granted: 1903-04-30
Abstract: 11,101. Romanze, O., and Elliott, F. S. May 14. Electric clocks; winding - mechanism; escapements.-The mainspring in the going-barrel of a master clock with a pendulum and the spring of a barrel driving a periodic brush switch j<1> are kept wound by an electromagnetic ratchet for which the switch makes and breaks circuit. The arms j<3>, j<4> of the switch escape successively from one and the other of a pair of notches i<1>, i<2> in an arbor of the movement, and the switch then flies round ; but, to ensure sufficient time of contact, a pin on it is stopped by a pin on the lever armature till the latter is attracted. A fellow switch sends currents to the secondary clocks. In a modification, dispensing with the second spring barrel, the switch has to- and-fro movement with the lever armature and with a spring, the arm j<3> being reduced to a tooth which lodges on a finger lying over a cam on the clock arbor. A cam on the arbor replacing one of the notches lifts the finger, to let the arm j<4> on the switch drop again through the single notch to complete the circuit.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Compressing Small Coal for Coking Ovens.
Filed: 1902-06-09
Granted: 1903-04-30
Abstract: 13,120. MÚguin, F., and MÚguin & Co., F. June 9. Moulding fuel.- Stamps for compressing coal for coking-ovens, are raised by cranks d, connecting-rods y, and sleeves which slide on the stamp rods i, and are clamped to the rods by screws p when projecting arms 0 of the screws come in contact with stops q projecting from horizontal sliding bolts. When the slide l is at the top of its stroke, the arm o strikes a fixed pin z, and the stamp is released. When it is required to throw the stamp out of action, a hand-lever is turned to the right to throw a brake or clutch n into action, and the stamp rod is then raised until an angle piece s of the stamp lifts a vertical cam rod r, and moves the stop q back out of action. The sleeve then slides freely on the rod i, which is held by the clutch n. A lever, connected by a link u to the clutch n, is introduced into the path of the arm o, when the clutch is thrown into action, in order to reduce the effective stroke of the slide and the movement of the rod r. The main shaft is driven by a motor and toothed gearing, and the machine is moved along rails in either direction by cranks, connecting-rods, pawls, ratchet-wheels w<3>, and a clutch coupling x.
