Abstract: 8074. M÷bus, W. May 1. Casting and moulding.-A moulding-machine, specially suitable for belt pulleys or other circular parts of machinery, has a plate 26 for supporting the half pattern of the hub 28 and arms 28<a>, and the box 29 in which the sand is compressed. A moulders' knife 6 carried by arms 5<b> on a rotatable and vertically-movable head 5, is then rotated and gradually raised till it projects half the width of the rim above the plate 26, as shown in Fig. 1. The knife is then reversely rotated and gradually withdrawn, leaving a smooth annulus representing half the rim. A similar mould is made for the other half of the pulley. The mechanism for operating the knife comprises a handle 20 with gearing for driving a pinion shaft 12, on which is a pinion 15 engaging a long pinion 5<a> on the head. A pinion 11, loosely mounted on the shaft 12, can be clutched to it by a disc 21, and then drives a pinion 10 gearing with pinion nuts 9 on screws 8 which raise a table 7 in which the head 5 can rotate. When the knife has reached the desired height, a finger 7<a> on the table engages an adjustable slider 25 on a scale rod 24, and operates a lever 23 to disengage the clutch disc 21, thus stopping the vertical movement of the knife. The scale rod is hinged at 24<b>, so that the lever 23 may be released and the pinion 11 again clutched to its shaft before the apparatus is reversely rotated. The arms 5<b> carry scrapers 30 to scrape loose sand falling on the table 7 into funnels 31, 32. The knife is made like a tuning-fork, and has rounded sides g, Fig. 9, and a rounded top to produce smooth surfaces. Several mould cases are used when pulleys are required with more than one series of arms.

Title: Improvements in Air Brakes for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1901-06-11
Granted: 1901-09-14
Abstract: 11,921. Thompson, W. P., [Wisner, A. J.]. June 11. Brakes.-In compressed-air brakes, the auxiliary reservoir is charged to the full braking- pressure before the brakes can be released. The rear end of the brake cylinder 9, Fig. 1<a>, leads to the auxiliary reservoir through the pipe 10 having a branch 11 leading to the chamber C of the valve box 12, which also has chambers A, B, D, E, F, of which A is connected to the train-pipe by the pipe 13, and by the port 16 to the chamber B, which has a valved piston 19 and communicates through the ports 23, 27, and 17 with the chamber C containing the slide 30, which controls the port 14 leading to the forward end of the cylinder 9. The valve 45 controls the passage 44 between the chambers C and E, and the valve 37 is fitted to the wall 35 between the chambers A and E The brake piston is double-acting and normally the brakes are kept off by admitting air to both ends of the cylinder. When the tram-pipe is vented, the fall in pressure in the chamber B causes the piston 19 to rise and take the valves 22 and 25 with it closing the ports 23 and opening the atmospheric ports 26, allowing air in the front end of the cylinder 9 to escape through the ports 29, 28, and 26, and the pressure on the rear side of the brake piston applies the brakes. When the pressure in the auxiliary reservoir falls to that in the trainpipe, the piston 19 and valves 22 and 25 resume their original positions, and check the application of the brakes, which are released by increasing the pressure in the train - pipe, thereby closing the ports 26 and opening communication between the chambers B and C and at the same time acting on the diaphragm 39 to open the valve 37 and withdraw the cam plate 49 from the slotted spindle of the valve 45, which is closed by the spring 47. Air now passes from the chamber E through the passage 34, Fig. 6, to the chamber D, and forces up the piston 32 and slide 30 uncovering the port 14, thus establishing communication between both ends of the cylinder 9 and the train-pipe.

Abstract: 919. Crawford, M. Jan. 13. Toothed gearing.-Relates to variable-speed and reversing gear. The casing A carries, on spindles D<3>, sets of compound pinions D, D<1>, D<2>. The pinions D gear with a pinion B<6>, fixed on the driving-shaft B<2>, and the pinions D<1>, D<2> respectively with pinions E, E' fixed on tubular concentric shafts, either of which may be coupled to the driven shaft G' by means of the clutches E<5>, E', formed on their ends, and the sliding- clutch G. The casing is formed with coned ends,and may be moved axially to clutch it to the conical shell B', fixed to the driving- shaft, or to the conical shell C, fixed to the framework of the gearing. In the first case the gearing all rotates with the driving-shaft, and the driven shaft runs at the same speed as it, irrespective of which of the clutches E<4>, E<5> is engaged. When the casing is held stationary, by clutching it to the shell C, the gearing comes into operation and the tubular shafts are driven at reduced speeds, either of which may be communicated to the driven shaft by shifting the clutch G. Upon placing the casing in its central position, so that it runs free, and locking the pinion E<2>, by the application of a brake H to its tubular shift, the gear acts as an epicyclic train. and the pinion E is drawn in the opposite direction. In a modified arrangement, an additional set of pinions is employed, and an additional speed in one direction or the other is obtained. The casing A is drawn up to the shell B' by springs B<5> acting on a ball bearing collar. It is moved in the opposite direction by a collar A<6>.
