Abstract: 11,707. Veignault, E. H. May 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Circular-saw machines. -Universal metal-working machines have spindles, for carrying tools or work, provided with heads constituted by rectilinear blocks each bored (1) axially of the spindle and (2) at right-angles to the bore. Slow and rapid rotary and reciprocating movements are provided, and the machines can be u s e d either independently or mounted on any main machine standard or in a socket The body 4, Fig. 1, of the spindle headstock is vertically adjustable in the base and carries an angularly adjustable bed provided with a slideway for the spindle head 6. The spindle 8 may have direct hand feed by a projection 16 working through a slot as controlled by a limit stop 19, or a cap 13<1> may be screwed in position to give a screw feed. A hand-wheel 9 drives the spindle by a splined sleeve 7. Stops 11 may engage projections on the head to determine a limited angular movement. A clamping- device comprising two screw-controlled blocks is adapted to engage the sleeve to lock it against rotation when straight cuts are required. The hand-wheel 14 may be splined between two collars to have a movement on its spindle to cause a snug to engage and drive the cap 13<1> through a corresponding snug to give feed alone, or both feed and rotation, as required, from the one hand wheel. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the application to sawing &c., the work being sometimes carried by a headstock 2 adjustable on the bed 1. A power head provided with two spindles is shown in Fig. 8 (Cancelled), the belt pulley 41 is loose but may be clutched directly to the spindle-driving sleeve 7 at 48, or may drive the sleeve through bevel-gearing 49, change gearing 51, worm gearing 58, Fig. 10 (Cancelled), a back shaft 58, and a wheel 42 provided with a clutch pin 47. The spindle may be oscillated by a variable-throw crank 80 linked to a sector 82 meshing with a wheel 43 provided with a clutch pin 47. A sliding pinion 64 transmits motion to the second spindle. Change gearing 52 and worm gearing 59 drive a sleeve, which may transmit motion through a sliding pinion 66 to a cam-drum 77 which feeds the upper spindle. The lower spindle is fed by the screwed sleeve 76. Fig. 11 (Cancelled) shows a modified spindle mounting applied to the power head. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Lace on Lace Braiding Machines and in Machines therefor.
IPC: D04C1/00
Filed: 1912-06-10
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 13,508. Price, W. H., and Shepshed Lace Manufacturing Co. June 10. [Cognate Application, 14,675/12.] Braid; braiding-machines.-Torchon lace with improved Cluny spots is made on lace machines of the Barmen type by providing pairs of taper pins or points C, E leading from the spot-forming sections of the machine to the braiding-point F. The spots are made from, say, three warp threads A and threads from four braiding-bobbins S, and the later threads are passed round the pins C, E, which thus support the edges of the spot until the work arrives at the braiding point. The machine may be provided with centre-disks K, reversing- races D, G and switches grouped together as shown, in which case the pins C, E are mounted obliquely on pillars C', E<1> standing in the centre of the raceways D, G. If the pattern is so draughted that the braiding-threads are brought in and carried out again to points well away from the spots, the ends of the spots will be narrowed off so as to present the characteristic Cluny appearance. The work made on the spot-forming sections between the spots may be made of a more open character, presenting a greater contrast to the spot than would otherwise be the case, by the use of dummy spindles, which are distributed to other parts of the work during formation of the spots In making Cluny crosses, two pairs of points E, C, N, M, Fig. 6, are placed on adjacent sections to overlap as shown.

Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 17,324. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. July 25. [Addition to 23,841/10.] Loading-appliances.-Relates to means, of the kind described in the parent Specification, for operating the powder-charge doors of a gun-loading cage by mechanism actuated by an hydraulic ram and controlled by a differential-valve under the influence of the rammer. According to the invention, the control valve is placed in proximity to the hydraulic ram, and is under the influence of the rammer-head. A positively-acting device is also provided for closing the powder doors when the loading-cage descends. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the apparatus, and Fig. 3 a longitudinal section of the valve-gear and ram carried by the loading-arm B. The ram D and differential valve C are normally both subjected to pressure by a common port c<2>, and the valve is held in the position shown, against the fluid pressure, by an arm C' on a spindle C<2>. A second arm C<3> on the spindle engages behind the rammer-head B<r>. When the rammer moves outwards to ram the projectile, the arm C<3> is released, and the excess fluid pressure acting on the larger area of the valve C, moves the valve to the right and admits pressure behind the ram D. The ram then moves outwards, and the slot d therein is engaged by a roller E on an arm E', which arm is pivoted to the hoist cage A and connected to the cage door-actuating device E<3> through bevel-gearing E<2> and a link. The return of the rammer reverses the valve C, and, through the ram D, operates the powder doors of the cage. When the cage is lowered, the roller E engages a cam-plate F on the loading-arm B, and is moved thereby into the doorclosing position.

Title: Improvements in Indicating and Totalizing Apparatus for Cash Delivering Machines.
Inventor: LENTZEN ERICH
Filed: 1913-07-25
Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 17,084. Lentzen, E. July 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Coin and metal-check machines.-Relates to apparatus for indicating and totalling monetary sums delivered by coin-ejecting machines. Each ejecting - slide 1, Fig. 1, can be raised to different extents by means of the keys, so that, when it is reciprocated horizontally, by means of an eccentric 3 upon the m a i n operating - shaft, it may expel from one to four coins. A lateral pin 4, thereon, engages and gives a corresponding movement to a stepped slide 5, 6 and when the slides are returned in succession by engagement of staggered arms 22 with lugs 23, the wheels 24 upon the sleeves 25 of actuating-wheels 26, Fig. 2, are driven through a one-way ratchet device. For each kind of coin there is a pair of toothed wheels 19, 24, and the coins are grouped into more or less arbitrary groups by securing the toothed wheels 24 of a given group upon a common sleeve, the ratio between the wheels 19, 24 depending on the relative value of the coins in the group. Coins of such values as 25 pfennig are provided for by communicating the return movement of the slide by suitable gearing to both the units and tens sleeves. The toothed wheels 26 upon the sleeves actuate, through ratchet mechanism, a totalizer 31, Fig. 2, and also, by means of gearing 39, 40 and racks 41, the visible indicator drums 43 for the item paid out. Retaining-pawls 47 for the racks are disengaged at the beginning of each operation by means of tappets 46 upon wheels driven by the main shaft, and the racks are thereupon restored by springs 51 attached by cords, so as to reset the indicators and the wheels 19. Transfer mechanism.-Fig. 4 shows the travelling-tooth mechanism for effecting transfer upon the totalizer. The stationary cam 34 forces a spring-controlled tooth 35 upon the lower wheel radially outwards, so that at the transfer point it engages with pins 37 upon and moves the higher wheel. Transfer between the sleeves driving the indicator and totalizer takes place on account of the composing of the monetary values by means of a limited number of keys distributed in groups, and is provided for by means of pins upon the lower wheels 19 engaging teeth upon double-armed levers attached to the sleeves of the higher wheels. The teeth are pivoted so as to yield during resetting.

Title: An Improved Process and Apparatus for Counting Objects of Approximately Equal Size.
IPC: G06M1/08
Filed: 1914-06-18
Abstract: 14,637. Maggi Ges. July 7, 1913, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Counters for articles.-A method of counting objects of approximately equal size, such as boxes, cubes, and small packages, consists in causing the objects to fill an inclined channel, then holding one of the objects at a predetermined place by a pin, feeler, or the like, which at the same time releases a shutter at the end of the channel, thus allowing the objects below the one held to be discharged; the pin &c. is now released, the shutter closes, and the channel fills again ready for the next discharge. A counting-apparatus connected to the shutter indicates either the number of strokes of the shutter or the number of objects which has passed through the channel. Fig. 1 shows one form of apparatus. The objects to be counted are contained in a hopper 1 and are fed one behind the other into the channel 2. The pin or feeler 10 is carried in a bar 4 which is operated by a rotating cam 5 acting against a counterweight &c. which tends to lift the bar. A spring 13 within the bar 4 presses the pin 10 towards the channel 2, a stop 12 preventing the pin from falling out. When the channel has filled with objects, the bar 4 moves downwards and brings the pin 10 into contact with the object at 3. The further movement of the bar causes the upper end of the pin to operate on the lever 8 and withdraw the shutter 15, whereupon the objects below that held at 3 are discharged. The bar 4 then moves back, the shutter 15 is closed by a spring 16, and the pin 10 is withdrawn, thus allowing the channel to fill with objects ready for a fresh series of operations. A counting - device may be connected with the shutter 15. In a modification, several channels are arranged side by side, a single bar 4 provided with a pin 10 being used for each channel. As an additional means for securing the closure of the shutter, spring-pulled levers 22, Fig. 3, are pivoted on pins 23 connected to the frame, their upper ends moving in a guide on the bar 4, and the movement being limited by the bar and by a pin 24 thereon, which, during part of the travel of the bar, acts positively on the lever.
