Granted: 1914-02-12
Abstract: 5156. Lavertine. A. G. Feb. 28. Reels and winches, rod.-In order to assist in casting, the drum is rotated, in the direction required, by means of an axial spring, overwinding being prevented by a band brake, and the reel is arranged to rotate freely on its spindle after the cast is made. The drum a, mounted on the spindle b, has attached to it a casing 2, in which is a spiral spring 1, the outer part of the casing acting as a drum for the band brake d. The casing is prevented from rotating against the action of the spring 1 by means of projections 4, which are engaged by a catch 5, a spring 15 arranged to slide along the guide bar 16 holding it both in its off and on positions. A spring-controlled pawl 7 mounted in a recess 6 in the spindle b engages with a slot in the end of the spring 1, or in the sleeve 8 to which the spring is attached. This pawl serves to hold the spring while it is being wound and is under tension. The pawls 7, 5 are put into action by means of a slide 12 carrying a pin 14<a>, which engages with the lever 14 on which the catch 5 is carried, the lower end of the slide being forked and engaging the lever 10 attached to the spindle of the pawl 7. The lever 18 has attached to it one end of a brake band d, the other end being connected through a spring 17 to the pivoted lever 17<a>, which is connected through the link 17<b> to the lever 18. On making a cast, the lever 18 is depressed, thus releasing the band brake, and at the same time the link 18<a> is pulled, removing the catch 5 from engagement with the stop 4. The spring 1 is now liberated and rotates the spool, which may be checked at any time by releasing the lever 18, the band brake being put on by means of the spring 19 acting on the lever 17<a>. As the spring 1 is now released, the pawl 7 returns into the recess 6, and the spool is free to rotate'about the spindle b.

Title: Improvements in Threading Dies.
Inventor: SMITH OSCAR AUGUST
IPC: B23G5/12
Filed: 1913-07-21
Granted: 1915-05-20
Abstract: 16,736. Smith, O. A. July 21. Screwing dies and die-heads.-In a selfopening die-head, the die-operating means are also effective to draw the die body axially towards a fixed part to set the dies. The die-head consists of a die body 2 having undercut radial slots 8 and a shank 3, and a dieoperating cam-plate 16 with projecting arms 17 adapted to enclose the die body and having a bevelled portion 18 to actuate the dies. The dies 9' have a rear cam-surface 28 and a stepped surface 28<1>, Fig. 11, and are mounted on blocks 9 having a rear cam-surface 14 of greater eccentricity than that on the die and side pin 10 to coact with springs to release the dies. The cam-plate 16 is provided with a peg 31 adapted to be adjusted against the action of a spring 40 by a micrometer screw 31<1>, Fig. 16, mounted in the casing 19, for adjusting the set position of the dies. The parts are secured together by shouldered bolts 22 in such a manner that the die body has limited axial motion in relation to the holding-shank 32, cam-plate 16, and casing 19. To close the dies, the cam-plate is rotated, causing the arms 17 to actuate the cam-surface 14 and push the die blocks inwardly a greater amount than necessary; this movement causes an inclined groove 24 in the cam-plate to actuate a pin 24<1> on the shank 3 and draw the die body towards the cam-plate, thus bringing the cam-surfaces 28 of the dies under the ends of the actuating-arms 17, so that when the lever 30 is released, the dies are held in the adjusted position allowed by the micrometer screw. On the completion of the threading, the holding-shank 32 is stopped by a stop (not shown), and the work draws the die body forward slightly, Fig. 4, whereupon the recessed portion of the die comes opposite the cam-arms 17 and the dies are released. The casing 19 has a floating connexion with the shank 32, this being obtained by a pair of square studs in the casing engaging a pair of notches in a loose disk 29 of less diameter than the bore of the casing. The disk has also two other notches engaged by projections on the flange of the shank 32, which is also of less diameter than the bore of the casing.
Patent GB-191318101-A (GB)
Title: A Method of and Means for Obtaining an Abutment, Fulcrum or the Equivalent in Space, by Means of Gyroscopic Mechanism.
Inventor: GORDON JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B61B13/04
Filed: 1913-08-08
Granted: 1914-08-10
Abstract: 18,101. Gordon, J. W. Aug. 8. [Cognate Application, 23,696/13.] Gyroscopic apparatus.-An abutment or fulcrum in space to serve as a base from which to maintain resistance to a couple applied to a gyrostat is obtained by combining forced precession (i.e. rotation of the axis of spin in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the applied couple) and free precession (i.e. rotation of the axis of spin in a plane containing the axis of the applied couple) in a compound constrained precessional movement such as imposes no angular limit to the continued operation of the gyrostat as a source of resisting power, the gyrostat in its constrained precessional movement being always in, or on the way to recover, the operative position. In the form shown in Fig. 1, forced precession about the axis p1, p2 under the action of the weight W is accompanied by free precession about a rotating transverse axis resulting in a constrained precessional movement indefinitely continued around the ring R. In the form shown in Fig. 2, forced precession about a transverse axis under the action of the weight W is accompanied by a free precession about the longitudinal axis p1, p2 which is, however, suppressed by the free precession of the gyroscope G1 about a transverse axis, the descent of the weight W thus takes place against a constant resistance and an alternating couple is transmitted to the second gyroscope G1. The fulcrum in space obtained can be utilized in various ways by imparting forced precession to a gyroscope and loading the axis of free precession by a guide so that the forced precession imparts a turning movement to the guide opposite in direction to that of the forced precession by which it is imparted, i.e. in the same direction as the reaction through its support of the couple bringing about the forced precession. When using the device as a balancing-mechanism, a gyroscope arranged for free precession is combined therewith to prolong the period of oscillation or to protract the overturning movement sufficiently to allow the fulcrum device to act. The device may, inter alia, be used for steering a ship or for counteracting the rolling thereof; as a gyrostatic fly-wheel by driving it in constrained precession alternatively by the engine the running of which it controls and by a maintaining-power so arranged as to produce torque about an axis at right-angles to the axis of the engine shaft; as a governor to control a throttle valve; as power-transmitting mechanism taking advantage of the variation of the apical angle of the cone in which the axis of the precessing frame moves under varying loads on the driven shaft to vary automatically the stroke and so the power of the power cylinders.
