Title: Improvements in Machines for Milling, Facing and other Metal Cutting Operations.
Inventor: PEARN WILLIAM ALFRED
Filed: 1907-06-29
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 14,922. Pearn, W. A., and Pearn, F. June 29. Boring; milling; lathes.-In a machine of the type described in Specification No. 11,870, A.D. 1905, for milling, facing, boring; drilling, and like operations, the operative end of the headstock spindle carries a toothed wheel, to which a tool-holder is detachably connected and which may be driven from a back-gear. Power-operated means are also provided to give a quick movement to the work table and headstock. The headstock spindle a is driven from a pulley g, driven by a belt n from the main shaft at the bottom of the machine, the guide - pulleys h, i, Fig. 2; ensuring a large angle of contact. The pulley g is arranged between the bearings of the spindle, and drives the spindle direct or through the back-gear shaft d which is driven from pinions j or m. A pinion c on the shaft d drives a pinion b, connected to the spindle a and detachably connected to the tool carrier e. The quick -movement of table and headstock is obtained by depressing a foot-lever o, Fig. 5. This operates jockey wheels r, r' and drives pulleys q, q<1> by a belt p from the main shaft of the machine. By means of a clutch q<2>, the shaft w is then driven, and from this shaft the feedscrew shafts 1<a>, 1<b> of the table and the feed-shaft 2<a> of the headstock are driven through a clutch z and gearing. The shaft w may also be driven from a hand-wheel s, which can be put out of action by sliding on its spindle to obviate danger when power feed is used. Ordinary slow movements can be obtained by driving the shaft w from a clutchoperated worm 4.

Abstract: 15,534. Lake, H. W., [Umnitz, C.]. July 5. Hooks and eyes.-Relates to a hook for a hook-and-eye fastening of the type in which primary and secondary fastening loops are employed and in which a portion is bent over between the bill to form a locking arrangement for the eye. The hook is made from a single piece of wire bent to form the usual bill 2, Figs. 1 and 2, at the shank of which are formed two secondary fastening-loops 5, 7, the wire then being brought to form two primary fastening loops 6, 8. From the loop 8, the wire 9 runs forward to form another loop 13 at the nose of the hook, at the same time tying the members 3, 4 of the bill together. The end of the wire finally runs up between the members of the bill to form an elastic eye-retaining stem 11, which engages with a hump 10 formed on the branch 9 of the wire. An eye 12 is shown which may be used with the hook.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Making Paper and the like Bags and for Packing Goods therein
Inventor: SNOEK MICHIEL VICTOR
Filed: 1908-01-01
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 86. Snoeh, M. V. Jan. 1. Packeting; paper and like bags.-Relates. to apparatus for. making paper, bags and filling them with loose substances, such as tea, tobacco, groceries, &c., and, if desired, applying a paper, strip thereto. A blank of paper, tin-foil, &c. is introduced between the former or casing 26, adapted to move in a clamp 31, and a bar 27. The casing moves in the clamp 31 through the aperture of the bar 27, the paper being thus folded about three..sides of the casing. The sliding block then moves to the left over a block 34, which folds one part of the bottom while a slide 39, Fig. 1, moves to fold half of the front of the bag. The casing then moves to the right, where the bar 27 folds the other part of the front, and over pieces 35, 36, 37, which close the bottom, completing the bag when the casing reaches a plate 41, whereupon the bag is Riled from a hopper 30 by a plunger 55. The plate 41 is then withdrawn, and a weight-supported block 48 engages the bottom of the bag through an aperture in the table. The plunger then thrusts the bag, against the action of the block, through the aperture in the table and clear, of the casing 26. A plate 46 with a curved end 47 is brought over the bag, folding down one side. The folding is completed by adjustable blocks similar to 35, 36, 37, below the table. A, strip of paper may be introduced above the aperture in the table before the bag is thrust through, being thus folded up with the bag. The arrangements for filling the bags may be absent, the apparatus being used only for making bags, in which case the plunger thrusts the empty bag through the aperture. The drum 9 has camgrooves both on its peripheral and lateral surfaces, in which work studs on levers for actuating the various parts. A clutch operated by a treadle may be provided for starting and stopping the machine.

Abstract: 18,579. Rateau, A. Sept. 16, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907J. Elastic - fluid turbines. - A throttle valve for a low-pressure turbine, employing exhaust steam in a dynamo-plant, is under the joint control of a centrifugal governor and a piston actuated by the successive average pressures of an accumulator receiving the exhaust-steam supply for the turbine. The accumulator 10 is connected to a reservoir 11 by a pipe having a constricted orifice controlled by a screw 13. By this means the pressure in the reservoir 11 is maintained equal to the mean of the pressures occurring during a certain period in the accumulator, the length of the period depending on the area of the orifice. The reservoir 11, which may contain a number of iron trays filled with water, is connected to a cylinder 9, from which a piston 8 operates the turbine throttle valve 1. A centrifugal governor 2 acts in opposition to the acumulator pressure. When this pressure falls below a certain limit, a valve 16 actuated by a diaphragm 17 opens a by-pass 15 and accelerates the operation of the governor.

Inventor: COLLIS ALFRED
Filed: 1908-12-05
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 26,372. Collis, A. Dec. 5. Cutting-machines for paper.- For delivering sheets from printing, cutting, and other machines, the delivery mechanism is mounted on vertically-movable frames 3 sliding on columns 1, 2 and balanced by weights 4 or by a spring. Side gauges 34 and an adjustable end gauge 32, as well as a knocking-up device driven by an eccentric, are carried by the frames 3 so that the sheets may be laid directly on a truck. The sheets pass in this case from a cutting- machine, with revolving knives co-operating with fixed knives, to the delivery mechanism, along a felt or band 10, which runs round and drives a roller 9, from which are actuated, through spur and worm gearing, including a variable - ratio face gearing 18, 19, the wheels 7 that gear with the racks 5 for raising the mechanism at the desired speed. When the pile of papers on the truck is sufficiently high, a catch 27 engaged by a stop 26 lifts the worm 22 out of engagement with the wheel 8, so that further elevation of the mechanism by automatic means is stopped. The apparatus is then raised by turning the handle 28, until the bands 32, 34 are clear of the pile, which is wheeled away, and the apparatus is lowered by hand.

Abstract: 28,176. Boult, A. J., [Perfection Razor Strop Co.]. Dec 24. Sharpening.-The holder 9, Figs. 1 and 3, of a machine for stropping or honing thick razor blades, is locked in position upon the upper ends of pivoted levers 2 by a spring-controlled catch 13, pivoted by the shaft 14 in the frame 1, and having a jaw 17, on an extension 15, which is engaged by a spring-controlled lever 16. When it is desired to remove the blade, the lever 16 is moved out of the jaw 17, the spring 28 draws the catch 13 back off the blade-holder 9, and a projection 24 on a lever 22 fixed to the catch engages one of a number of notches in a disk 25 on the shaft of the driving- wheel 7, thus locking the rotating members. The levers 2 are capable of a slight rocking motion, controlled by levers 4 and a spring 3, thus holding the blade resiliently against the stropping or honing element 11 arranged spirally around the rollers 6 which are geared together and rotated by the cogwheel 7. A holder for thin blades consists of two bars 30, Fig. 5, having positioning-pins and pins which engage the usual holes in the blade ; the holder being held in slots 31 in the frame, and the levers 2 being dispensed with. A handle 29 is provided on the machine. In a modification for sharpening thin blades, each roller has two sharpening-elements and the locking-catch is of simpler construction. The driving-wheel is provided with a pawl to prevent reverse action.
