Title: Improvements in or relating to Screw Cutting Machines.
Inventor: WUTTIG GEORG
IPC: B23G1/04
Filed: 1909-11-23
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 27,236. Wuttig, G. April 17, [Convention date]. Screwing.-In a screwing-machine of the type in which the die rotates in the same direction as, but at a different speed from, the work, and in which the die is axially movable in a sleeve carrying the driving-pulley, the die spindle is coupled to rotate permanently with the sleeve, the movement of the die being adapted to stop rotation of the sleeve on completion of the screw thread. The die spindle 3 is connected by a pin 5 and slot to the driving- sleeve 4, which carries fixed and loose pulleys 6, 8, and is carried by fixed supports B. The spindle is moved axially in the sleeve by a cam 13, lever 11, and spring-returned bell-crank lever 9 until the die grips the work, which thereafter continues the feed. When the screwing is completed, a screw-stop 30 on the bellcrank lever presses down a spring-pressed lever 22, so as to release a catch 20 from engagement with a projection 19 on the belt-fork lever 16, which is thereupon moved on its pivot 17 by a spring 18 to transfer the belt on to the loose pulley. The lever 16 is connected by link 23 to a lever 24, which moves a cone brake 26 into engagement with the fast pulley. The rotation of the work then releases the die, which is returned by the spring 10. A cam 32 then engages a roller on the belt-fork lever to transfer it to the fixed pulley.

Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 3119. K³hl, H. Feb. 8. Slay cements; cements, Portland.-In cements made from blast-furnace slag, or equivalent fused material of like composition, the proportion of calcium sulphate is raised above 2 per cent. In the case of slags containing much lime or alumina, 3 or 4 per cent of calcium sulphate is sufficient; in the case of cements . containing little of these constituents but much silica, from 10 to 15 per cent of calcium sulphate may be required. The calcium sulphate may be introduced into the cement in any manner, such as (1) blowing milk of gypsum into molten slag, (2) granulating slag in milk of gypsum, (3) grinding gypsum with the slag at the final stage of manufacture, (4) grinding gypsum and slag separately and mixing, (5) adding powdered gypsum to granulated slag prior to grinding, (6) wetting the finished slag cement with milk of gypsum, (7) adding substances to the finished slag cement which interact to produce calcium sulphate, for example adding hydrate of lime and wetting with sulphuric acid, (8) oxidizing the sulphur or sulphides already in the slag by roasting or the addition of an oxidizing-agent such as potassium chromate or barium peroxide. Plaster of paris, dead burnt gypsum, or anhydrous gypsum may be used instead of gypsum. Lime-cement may be prepared by adding lime to cement prepared as above described from hydrated calcium sulphate, and a Portland cement may be made by mixing cement prepared as above described with Portland cement poor in alumina, such as iron-ore cement.

Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 10,680. Moir, A. May 3. Automatic-feed weighers. - Relates to automatic - feed weighers of the kind in which a rotary compartmented drum is mounted on a weigh-beam and consists primarily in the provision of toggle mechanism for effecting the dribble feed and cut-off. Means for testing the machine are also provided. The drum has three compartments A<1>, A<2>, A<3>, and is balanced by a weight b<3> on one end of the weigh-beam B. Two cut-off gates d, d<1> for major and dribble feeds are provided, each connected to a pair of toggle levers terminating in extensions e<2>, e<3>. As the drum sinks during the feed, a stud a' engages successively the extensions e<2>, c<3>, and by breaking'the toggle joints drops first the feed gate d<1> and finally the feed gate d. The breaking of the second toggle joint causes the latter to knock back a lever G from a second stop similar to a<1> and release the drum, which then rotates under the weight of its contents and discharges the material. The second compartment A<2> is then brought under the feed shoot and at the same time one of a second series of studs on the drum strikes a pivoted lever and pushes back the feed gates and connexions into the feeding position shown in Fig. 1, the lever G also holding the drum as before. A pawl g<3> on the lever G prevents rebounding of the drum. After the cut-off of the major feed but before the final cut-off, a weighted lever h previously pressing on the weigh-beam is received during the descent of the drum. upon a stop C<2> on an upright C. The upright C has a recess c for limiting the oscillations of the beam. To enable the apparatus to be tested, the end g<6> of the lever G is pivoted and is turned back during the testing operation. The upright C may also be turned aside about a pivot c<3>. A number of the machines are arranged to operate in unison.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Guards for Centrifugal and other Machines.
Inventor: JOHNSTON ERNEST WALTER
IPC: F16P3/08

Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 18,829. Johnston, E. W., and Russell, F. W. Aug. 22. [Cognate Application, 3274/12.] Guards, controlling.-A safety device for locking a guard or cover during the motion of a machine, and particularly adapted for use with hydro-extractors and like machines, is of the type in which a loosely-mounted member adapted to be driven by a rotary part of the machine is capable of an axial movement controlling the guard. This axial movement is independent of the rotary movement, and is in advance of the ordinary direction of rotation. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the loosely-mounted member is a sleeve 10 driven by a pin 11 on a shaft 6 connected to the driving-pulley. A collar 15, Fig. 4, carrying arms 21, 22 is connected to the sleeve 10 by any ordinary ratchet clutch or other arrangement in the manner of a free wheel, so that the collar, when rotated, carries the sleeve with it. The motion of the collar is effected by a handle 18 which is used to slide a plate 25 along a spindle 31, which also serves to operate the belt-fork. The action of shifting the belt to the loose pulley also moves a stop 30, whereupon the plate 25 may be slid along the spindle 31 until the arm 17 meets a suitably-placed stop 24. This motion of the plate 25 by the action of the forked end of the arm 17 and the arms 21, 22 communicates a forward rotation to the collar 15 and therefore to the sleeve 10 which is thereby turned so as to be free of the pin 11; but this action cannot take place unless the sleeve 10 has ceased to rotate. A further motion of the plate 25 causes the spring 14 to be compressed, the stop 24 acting as a fulcrum, and slides the sleeve 10 along the shaft 6; this motion also exposes an opening 27 through which a rod 28 attached to the cover or guard can then pass, permitting the cover to be opened. As long as the cover is open, the rod 28 acts as a stop to prevent the belt-fork from being returned to start the machine. In another form shown in Fig. 6, a pair of arms 37 on the spindle of the machine drives a depending fork 34 running loosely on the cover 4 and terminating in a knob 33. When the spindle has come to rest, the fork 34 is turned by hand and the cover raised. To prevent the machine from being started with the cover raised, a lever 45, Fig. 8, is mounted so as to prevent the rotation of a hand-wheel 51 which shifts the belt-fork. The lever 45 terminates in a slotted part 44 which is protected by a cover-plate 43 containing a keyhole, and a key 41 is permanently mounted on the cover 4. When the cover 4 is closed, the lever 45 can be moved away by the action of the key 41, but at the same time the key is locked beneath the cover-plate 43 and locks the cover 4.
