Title: Improvements in Drill Chucks or Holders
Inventor: MUEHLBERG KARL OSWALD
Filed: 1903-04-27
Granted: 1903-07-30
Abstract: 9478. Muehlberg, K. O. April 27. Chucks : tool-holders. - A chuck or holder for drills, taps, and similar tools is provided with an axial bitreceiving opening 2, Fig. 1, which is slightly conical, and communicates, at its upper end, with a transverse slot through the body of the chuck. This slot may extend down to the slot in which two jaws 5 work. The inner ends of the jaws are wedgeshaped so as to grip V-grooved drills of various sizes, but the extreme ends are hollowed out so as to hold a small round drill. The jaws 5 are pressed outwards by a bow spring 10, and are forced inwards when the sleeve 14 is screwed down the chuck body 1. The sleeve is in two parts, and, in a groove between these parts, is a bar 17, which passes through the transverse slot. The bar is for ejecting ordinary Morse taper bits, which fit into the conical recess 2 with their flat ends in the slot, or for preventing a broken Morse bit from rotating in the holder by entering a slot cut in the end of such a broken drill. The chuck is forced out of the machine spindle 25 when the sleeve 14 is screwed upwards to engage with the spindle. When the chuck is for use with a hand-drill, the shank 26 is made to screw out of the body 1, so that the body may be screwed into the socket of the hand-drill spindle. The sleeve 14 and the cross-bar 17 may be used without the jaws 5.

Abstract: 10,750. Nicholson, R., and Nicholson, R. J., [trading as Nicholson & Sons, J., also as Osborne& Co.]. May 12. Rock drills, percussive. Renewable bits e of triangular, square, or other section, with one or more cutting-edges, are held by jaws b, which have tapered shanks c to fit in a socket on the end of the boring-bar a. One or more of these bits are used with two or more holding-jaws to form a straight or X-form of cutting-tool. The socket may be of non-circular section, or stops &c. may be provided to prevent rotation of the bit. The holders may be secured in the socket by a cottar h, and may be loosened by driving a wedge into the hole f in the socket. They may be hinged or otherwise attached to each other, or may be made in one piece as a split spring holder, or the bit may be wedged between jaws on the shank, as shown in Fig. 13.

Title: Improvements in Hoisting Apparatus.
Inventor: HEALEY BRIERLEY DENHAM
Filed: 1903-07-03
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 14,801. Healey, B. D., and Healey, L. T. July 3. Lifts; hoists; winding-sheaves.-Relates to hand actuated lifts and the like and is applicable to the hoisting - apparatus described in Specification No. 4775, A.D. 1901. Figs. 1 and 2 show the hoisting-gear fitted with a self-sustaining brake. The shaft E, when turned, by a crank or otherwise, in the hoisting direction, drives both the loose winding sheave F and the loose brake disc G by means of lugs D engaging jaws J on the sheave and disc. The abutting faces H of the sheave F and disc G are inclined, and thus, on releasing the shaft E, the sheave F, under the action of the load, forces the disc G against the standard A and is thus locked. The diameter of the lugs D is less than that of the sleeve C so that the shaft can be withdrawn on withdrawing the sleeve. The cage and balance weight are guided by tubular guides L, Figs. 4 and 5, secured on brackets M by cruciform studs N so that a flush joint is obtained. Sound-deadening material T is inserted in the brackets M where these are fixed in the main walls of the building. Wire ropes, which are used as guides for relatively short lifts, are fitted with compensating springs, Fig. 6, having top and bottom cups P and an eyebolt R to which the rope is attached.

Abstract: 22,323. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Oct. 17. Hyposulphites. - In an improvement on the process described in Specification No. 7397, A.D. 1904, hyposulphites are obtained from their aqueous solutions by heating them with the liquids or vapours described in the above-mentioned Specification, the temperature being sufficient to cause the hyposulphite to lose its water of crystallization, and the liquid being used in sufficient excess to remove the water. An example is given in which three volumes of nearly pure alcohol are heated in an enamelled vessel, and one volume of concentrated sodium - hyposulphite solution is gradually added with constant stirring; after stirring for some time, the hyposalphite is allowed to precipitate, the bulk of the alcohol is poured off, and the precipitate is filtered. The product may be used as an alcoholic paste or may be washed with a liquid which rapidly evaporates, and then dried in vacuo. Where a salt is precipitated by, say, glyceriue or amyl alcohol, the product may be washed with alcohol.
