Abstract: 6287. Reading, H. C., [trading as Reading & Co., H. C.]. March 21. Clutches.-Relates to band clutches for motorvehicles &c. actuated by electromagnetically-operated plate clutches. A plate D is carried on pins h<1> on a loose sleeve H, a projection on which forms a pivot for one end of a band F, the other end of which is pivoted on the driven part e of the device. When the electro-magnet A is energized, it attracts the plate D into frictional contact with it, and the sleeve H is rotated against the action of springs f<3>, f<4> so that the band F is expanded against the flange g on the magnet A. For use with an alternating current, the disk A may be built up of a series of concentric channels contained within a recess and containing the wire, the inner and outer faces of the recess forming the poles. The channels may be insulated by brazing metal. In the case of direct current, the release of the armature may be effected by reversal of the current or by a suitable winding. The clutches may be used in variable-speed gearing.

Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 11,994. Copeland, R. J., and Chatterson, A. E. June 2. Escutcheons, keyhole.-The keyholes of locks for filing-cabinets, drawers, &c. are closed by a plate F as shown in Fig. 2, the plate F being locked in this position by the end of a lever J abutting against it. To uncover the keyhole E, notches G<8>, G<9>, G<10> of combination plates G, G<1>, G<3> respectively must be brought into coincidenee so that the end of the lever J falls into the recess thus formed and allows the plate F to be moved back. Each combination plate is provided with a series of ten equidistant holes H, H<1>, H<2> along one of its edges, and the edges are so recessed that the holes of each plate can be seen through an opening C in the cover B. The notches G<8>, G<9>, G<10> are so arranged that, when certain predetermined holes in the combination plates are brought by means of the pointed end of the lock-key into coincidence with the numeral 1 at the opening C, the notches G<8>, G<9>, G<10> are also coincident, and the plate F can then be moved back by means of the lock-key, the pointed end of which is inserted into the hole F' in the plate F.

Other models may be supported on the piece F as shown at f<1>. The frame E is engraved with horizontal and vertical lines to aid in teaching. The frame E is also provided with an adjustable arm L carrying a wire loop l<3> serving as an eye-piece. The eyepiece may be carried by a separate support resting on the desk. When not in use, the various parts of the appliance are stored in a receptacle which may rest on the ledge N or be suspended by hooks from the side of the desk. The glass frame and other parts may be applied to existing desks as shown in Fig. 8. The frame E and the extension piece F are in this case hinged to a plate Z secured to the desk, the frame and extension piece being supported when in use by struts e', e<7>. The frame E may be swung into an horizontal position E<2>. A protecting-cover E<1> is hinged at e<3>. In a modification, the plate Z, instead of being secured to the desk, is carried by an adjustable standard resting on the ground. In a further modification, the piece F is clamped by bolts to its support instead of being hinged.
Patent GB-190900306-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Semi-automatic Turning and Screwing Lathes and the like.
Inventor: TIMBRELL WILLIAM
IPC: B23B7/12
Filed: 1909-01-06
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 306. Timbrell, W. Jan. 6. Lathes; screwing.-In a semi-automatic turning and screwing lathe &c., of the type in which one blank is turned while another is being screwed, a hand-lever is used to control the feedingof predetermined lengths of stock and a second hand-lever controls mechanism for automatically screwing one body w h i l e another is being formed. The stock b which is rotated in the headstock A and is fed by weights, is gripped by a chuck a<1> operated by a cam C through a lever Z, the cam being connected to a bar e, having an inclined end so as to turn a telescopic stop d<1> in a pivoted lever into the path of the work just prior to its release and to withdraw the stop when the work is gripped. The forming-tool f and the parting-tool g are mounted on a cross slide operated by a lever Y. After the first screw-blank is formed, the waste end is cut off, the tool withdrawn, and the rod b advanced to the stop, so that the forming-tool acts on the portion b<2> of the rod. At the same time, a projection on the tool slide rotates the movable part l of a clutch on a shaft J which, through a cam o<1>, moves forward the screwing-die slide Q so that the second blank is screwed. The fixed part of the clutch j<4> is rotated by worm gear j<3>, and the movable part l, which is pressed forward by a spring m, is provided with a camshaped face l<2> engaging a stop n. The rotation of the part l causes the cam shoulder to trip over the stop and the clutch is then engaged, but after a revolution the cam face l<2> again abuts against the stop and the clutch is released. The screwing is thus completed independently of the turning, and remains at rest until the tool slide is again moved forward. On the backward motion of the tool slide, the screw is severed by the tool g. The die-head slide Q is returned by a spring and its motion is adjusted by a screw p<3>, a similar adjustment on the bed restricting the movement of the lever P. For screwing, the die-head h is rotated in the same direction as the work but at greater speed, and is stationary during unscrewing. The diespindle S, which is pressed rearwardly by a spring s', carries a clutch s<1> which engages a clutch r<1> on a hollow sleeve R rotated by belt gear and fixed relatively to the slide. On completion of screwing, the slide is retracted by a spring and the teeth are disengaged. A spring abutment t on the slide then engages a groove in the clutch s' to prevent rotation of the die-head which is thus unscrewed from the work. thereby causing the spring to re-engage the clutch teeth. To cushion the spindle S, it is made to abut against an adjustable spindle U having a leather or like pad v<1>.

Abstract: 22,608. Such, R. S Oct. 4. Moulding-machines.-In a sand-moulding machine, a cradle or flask support is employed to co-operate with a pair of swinging tables, the cradle being capable of being lifted, lowered, or turned over, and being utilized for compressing the sand and for withdrawing the pattern. The apparatus is mounted on three wheels, the axles of which are used as shafts for levers. The cradle D is mounted in bearings which are raised or lowered on guides a<3> by a foot-lever d<8> and spring-pressed links d<4>, d<3>, or by a hand-lever F and a tappet engaging the link d<3>. The swinging tables E, E' are mounted on vertical spindles, so as to swing into and out of line with the moulds supported on the cradle. The tables are brought into and out of operation by a hand-lever e<4> and linkage, the arrangement being such that one table is moved before, but more slowly than the other, a lost-motion linkage being employed. In operation, the pattern plates are fixed to the cradle D, the moulding-boxes B, C are placed on top, the cradle is raised up and down by the foot-lever to pack the sand by jarring, a bottom board is put on top and fastened, and the cradle is raised and turned over by hand. The cradle is then lowered so that the moulds rest on the swinging tables, and the sand is rammed by the cradle, through the hand-lever and tappet, this giving a slow and powerful stroke. Afterramming, the moulds are unfastened aud the cradle is raised to withdraw the patterns, first slowly by the handlever and tappet, and then, more quickly, by the foot-lever. To take the strain of ramming, the tables are supported by blocks a<1> carried by the bed.
