Title: Improvements in Machines for Grinding Die-making Driving-punches, Reamers and the like
Inventor: HORTON JAMES ALEXANDER
Filed: 1904-11-09
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 24,271. Horton, J. A. Nov. 9. Pointing bars; copying.-The object is to make reamers of the form shown in Fig. 29 or punches having a similar profile but of circular cross-section, these reamers and punches being for use in trueing the holes in the die-plates used for drawing wire. The grinding- wheel, enclosed in the hood 92, Fig. 1, is driven by the puiley 1 and is mounted on a slide 5 itself mounted on a slide 67 which is reciprocated by a cam in a direction parallel to the axis of the grinding-wheel. The slide 5 is reciprocated at right-angles to this direction by means of a bearing-piece 33 which travels over the face 35 or 350 of the fixed piece 34. The shape of the face is thus copied upon the tool blank T. The grinding-wheel can be adjusted relatively to the piece 33 by means of screw mechanism provided with a knob 99. At the end of its backward stroke, the grinding-wheel is moved back from the work by a bell-crank lever 88, one end of which is connected to the slide 5 while the other is adapted to strike a fixed stop 90. The work is backed by a piece 45, Figs. 1 and 17, with suitable faces 46, 47. The former block 34 and support 45 may be simultaneously adjusted on the vertical axes 109, 114, so as to vary the inclination of their acting faces, by means of a handle 12 and link work. The work T, Fig. 7, is connected to a spindle 40 mounted on a slide 44. This spindle is rotated continuously by means of a pulley 59 when a punch is being formed, or is rotated step by step by means of a ratchetwheel 62 and a pawl 61, Fig. 1, when a reamer is being formed. To prevent the edges of the reamer from being injured against the work-support 45 during this rotation, a squared part of the spindle 40, Fig. 22, bears against the piece 78. The bearings 42, 43, Fig. 7, are universally jointed and thus the spindle can be deflected as it turns against the fixed piece 78. Set-screws 82, 83 normally keep the spindle 40 in position. The work is fed step by step to the left by a cam 51 which acts on the rod 50 connected to the slide 44. The cam is turned by a ratchet-wheel 53 and a pawl on the lever 54. This lever is struck, when the slide 7 has reached its farthest position to the right, by one of the pins 56 on a piece carried by the slide 7. In making reamers, these pins are thrown into and out of operation by means of a pawl 72 acting on the ratchet-wheel 70. The pawl 61 mentioned above is carried by a lever 60 hinged to a fixed bracket 64. The lever 60 is operated by a wedge 67 which is carried by the slide 7 and moves to and fro beneath the lever. The pawls 61, 72 are thrown out of action when punches are being made. The grinding-wheel may be mounted on a vertical shaft, if desired.

Granted: 1906-06-26
Abstract: 13,191. Piepenbring, E. June 27, 1901, [date applied tor under Patents Act, 1901]. Miners' safety lamps.-The burner is ignited and regulated by rotating the reservoir a relatively to the outer casing i constantly in the same direction, and magnetically - operated locking-bolts are employed. Studs s on the reservoir engage a cam-curve n, Fig. 6, fixed to the interior of the outer casing i. On rotation of the reservoir, it is at first raised. When the highest position is reached, the wicktube c projects above'the cover k and an igniting- tube d registers with an aperture in the cover. At this moment the igniting-tube is kindled by a fulminating-pellet arranged on a band f. The igniting-device is operated by a loosely-mounted ring h to which is attached one end of the kindling- band f. When the ring h is pressed' upwards by the reservoir against a spring ring u, it is held stationary, consequently there is relative movement between an igniting-spring g, fixed to the top of the reservoir, and the igniting-band, the ring h being so arranged that the extent of this movement is equal to the distance between two pellets. Farther rotation of the reservoir raises or lowers it for the purpose of regulating the flame. The apertures in the cam-curve n, through which the studs s are inserted, are closed by bolts q carried from a ring p, which is pressed downwards by springs o and which can only be raised by a magnet.

Abstract: 25,865. Paperella, E. Dec. 12. Rope grips.-As a protective device to a train, a small pilot motor A, preceding the engine and connected therewith by a long cable, carries a number of contacts any one of which is closed, for signalling to the driver, if the pilot motor meets with an obstacle. The length of cable intended is several hundred metres, andtwo or more independent supporting-cars are employed. The pilot motor A covered with contacts is shown connected to the engine by the cable 17 passing over supporting - cars. Pearahaped bodies 13 on the rope prevent alteration of the distance between two support cars, as the " pear 13 cannot normally pass through either of the rings 6, 9. If, however, the car A is to be drawn in, a winch 14 on the car nearest the engine winds in the rope and projecting pieces on the cars 11 lift and maintain raised arms 1 of bell. crank levers on the adjacent cars. The arms 1 carry uprights -10, which form the top of the rings .9, and, when raised, permit the passage of the " pear" 13. When the car A is to move ahead, the pressure of the "pear" 13 on the ring 6 auto-. matically releases the catch 11, 12. Each "pear" is small enough to pass through all the rings 6 nearer to the engine than itself. The electric circuit closed at once permanently closes another' circuit through lamp, bell, &c., or brake on engine.
