Abstract: 3756. Lauterjung, E. Feb. 13. Slotting; tools; copyi n g a n d reproducing mechanism. - H o l e d work 12, Figs. 1 and 4, to be slotted out to correspond to a non- circular templet is clamped at 13, 16 to a compound table mounted on a roller bearing slide 4 traversed by a weight to maintain the templet 15, which is clamped upon spacing-blocks above the work, in contact with the upper and larger portion of the tool 17, Fig. 7. The cutting-edge of the tool is at 17<c>, and the cut is limited by the reduced portion 17<b> of the tool or by an abutment screw 17<d>. The slide 4 is clamped during the cutting-stroke by a pad 61, Fig. 1<a>, operated by a lever 57, with hinged extremity 62, and a cam 59 adjustable by a screw 58 on the tool slide. The stroke of the tool slide 20 is limited by blocks 50 which are adjusted so that at the top of the stroke the cutting-edge of the tool occupies a position between the work and the templet. The blocks 50 control a reversing-lever 49 provided with handlever and spring throw-over for operating a clutch situated between the pulleys 27, 29. The cutter slide is rack-driven through a gear train 34, and the shaft 32 carries a clutch box 38, Fig. 6, driven through friction washers 45 and limited in oscillation by stops 46 on opposite sides of a fixed stop 47. An adjustable-throw crank 40, on the clutch box, actuates a worm 10 through ratchet mechanism to rotate the table 8 to bring the various parts of the work and templet into operative position. The cutter is clamped in the slide by the coned jaws 21 and nut 24, Fig. 7, and a shield 25 is provided to protect the jaws &c. from cutting lubricant. The table 8 is rotatably mounted in a support 5 pivoted to the slide 4 about the worm shaft and has guides receiving a slide 11 which carries the work. The slide 11 has flanges 68 at opposite ends which embrace a ring 67 mounted on the support 5 and adjustable to varying degrees of eccentricity with reference to the table 8 for use in shaping oval holes. A slide with straight line traverse may be provided for use in connexion with profiles which have rectilinear sections. The angular adjustment of the support 5 is effected by an eccentric 7 and is provided for cutting conical holes, for example, in dies. The part 17<a> of the tool may be fitted with a sleeve to engage the templet in order to cut a hole of smaller size. Modified forms of tool are employed having detachable cutting- edges, and in a further modification a multiplepointed tool of star section is employed.

The levers f may be so inclined that the lower trough falls when the upper trough rises, so that the troughs convey in the same direction. The levers f may be pivotally connected with the lower trough or they may have curved surfaces on which bearing-blocks on the lower trough rest. The Figure also shows an intermediate trough j carried by projections on the rollers e, and conveying in the opposite direction to the upper trough c. Fig. 9 shows a trough h having bearing-blocks n resting on curved surfaces m formed on links f having rolling surfaces r resting on blocks o on the frame a.

The crank 86 is solid with a sleeve which is surrounded by a second sleeve carrying a crank 91 connected by a link 108, a rack 109, and a pinion to the brake-valve handle 112 and a bracket on the outer sleeve supports an electro-magnet 103<1> the armature of which, when energized, withdraws a tooth thereon from the inner sleeve, leaving the latter free to turn without the outer sleeve, but when de-energized locks the outer sleeve with its attachments to the crank 86. The bracket carrying the electro-magnet is further linked to a rock-shaft 123 which actuates an auxiliary or relay slide valve 120 which connects the back end of a throttle-valve operating cylinder 144 to a source of fluid pressure or to the atmosphere. The front end of the cylinder is open to the atmosphere. The throttle valve, Fig. 21, is actuated by a lever 128 pivoted on a bracket 129 and held in a given position by a catch bolt 135. The catch bolt may be withdrawn by the handle 142 and the lever moved by hand or the valve may be closed by the piston of cylinder 144 which rocks the bell-crank 139 linked to a bellcrank 137 pivoted on the lever 128. A valve rod 177, Fig. 14, depressible against the action of a spring 183 carries a valve 180 having a packing 182 and a flange which fits a corresponding flange on the valve seating.

Granted: 1914-10-15
Abstract: 10,923. Day, C., and Windeler, G. E. May 4. Stop-gear. - The lubricating system of an internal-combustion engine is provided with a device that gives an audible signal when the pressure of lubricant is insufficient, and if the pressure falls still further, cuts off the fuel supply to the engine. The lubricant acts through a pipe c on a spring-pressed piston b, the rod of which carries a cone f, the function of which is to actuate levers g, p. When the cone moves to the left, indicating that the pressure of the lubricant is low, the lever g closes at k the circuit of an electric bell n or other audible signal. The pump supplying fuel to the engine is controlled by a rod 3 supported by a bobbin t. The bobbin is first raised by hand until it is held by a hook z engaging under a collar 2. When the engine is started, the cone f moves to the right and allows two arms p, s of a lever to be moved over by a weight r. The arm s engages under a collar w of the bobbin, and the end of the piston-rod 4 engages an arm x, knocking away the hook z from the collar 2, so that the bobbin is supported solely by the arm s. When the pressure of lubricant is dangerously low, the cone f moves to the left, and by engaging the arm p removes the support s from the bobbin, which together with the rod 3 then falls, cutting off the fuel supply.

Abstract: 13,831. Spencer, A. L. Hitchcock-, Sharman, P. A., [trading as Spencer & Co., W. H.], and Cabena, R. H. June 8. Heating gases.-A beater for steam, air, or gas intended more particularly for use in connexion with a steam-boiler consists of a nest of Field tubes standing up from a two-chamber header and arranged so that the hot gases deflected by a baffle or damper in a flue or uptake flow around the lower part of the tubes and then flow around the upper part to an outlet above the baffle or damper. The steam-superheater c, Fig. 1, is arranged in a casing at the side of the uptake of a vertical boiler, the uptake being cut away to allow the gases to pass into and out of the casing. The course of the gases is determined by balanced pivoted dampers f' operated simultaneously through intermeshing pinions. The dampers may cut off the superheater entirely from the uptake. The wet steam may enter the header through a cone t, Fig. 10, serving as a steam-separator, the separated water collecting in a vessel t<2>. Baffles may be provided to force the gases to take a zigzag course in their upward passage among the tubes. The outer tube of a Field tube is screwed into the top wall d, Fig. 7, and into the partition d' of the header, and the inner tube e has a swelled end and is screwed into the end of the outer tube and into the bottom wall l of the header, the end of the inner tube being closed by a plug q. The dampers may be provided with flat or dish-shaped removable facepieces, and instead of being pivoted at their inner edges, as shown, they may be pivoted at their outer edges. Instead of pivoted dampers, a single sliding fire-brick damper or inclined baffle-plates may be used. Specifications 14,853/86 and 5546/05, [both in Class 123, Steam generators], are referred to.
