Title: Improvements in Lathes or Machines for Turning or Shaping Wood and other Material.
Inventor: WEISS JULIUS HERMANN
Filed: 1898-06-27
Granted: 1899-09-27
Abstract: 14,194. Weiss, J. H., [Preble, W. P.]. June 27. Lathes.-A lathe of the 'baluster' type is made to produce balusters, table legs, chair legs, &c. of round or any polygonal shape. The work 35 is mounted in a reel having discs 16<a>, 16<b>, 16<c>, the disc 16<b> being adjustable on screws 16<d> operated by a hand-wheel 27. The disc 16<a> carries two chucks 17, diametrally placed, and the disc 16<b> has two corresponding tail-stocks 18, so that one blank may be operated on between one pair of centres, while a blank is being inserted in the second pair. The reel is held in either one of its two positions by a spring catch 16<a>, the active chuck being driven by a sliding shaft 25 on which is feathered a driven worm-wheel. The shaft and chuck spindle have coned ends forming a friction clutch, the shaft being moved by a hand-lever 26<b> to start the work. The cutter arbor 32<a> is mounted on a reciprocating carriage 34 operated by adjustable cranks and rods from a cam shaft 8, driven by a train of change-wheels 5, 6, 9 from the main shaft, the value of this train determining the angular shape of the work produced. The cutter arbor has driving-pulleys 32<b>, and is mounted in bearings so as to be easily removable for exchange. The carriage may be adjusted by a hand-wheel 28, or a fine feed may be given by operating through a hand-wheel and worm gear adjacent to the lever 26<b>. The cam 10, Fig. 12, on the cam shaft 8 actuates a rock shaft 12 through an arm 11. the adjustable cranks being secured on the shaft 12. An arm 11<a>, pivoted on the shaft, and connected by springs 11<b> to the arm 11, also bears on the cam and ensures a non-vibratory reciprocation of the carriage at a high speed. The tail-stock centre 18, Fig. 8, is withdrawn by turning a pinion 18<b> engaging a racked portion 18<a> of the centre. This pinion is turned by first pulling down a handle 18<h> against a spring and then rotating it, the handle being locked when released by teeth 18<c> on it engaging a quadrant rack 18<f>, thus holding the centre in any position. A stay for supporting long work or the free end of shorter work held in a chuck consists of a double arm 36 mounted on the central spindle 16*, Fig. 10, of the reel and having revoluble and removable discs 36<a> held in place by catches 36<b> and having hinged caps 37 to allow the work to be inserted. The cutters 41, Fig. 15, are of the centrifugal' class, and are mounted in grooves 40 and slots 42 in the heads 39. The projection of the cutter is limited by a screw 43 passing through the head from the outside, allowing the cutter to be easily reset.

Abstract: 16,924. Boyd, T. A. Aug. 5. Spindle apparatus; rollers and roller heads.- Improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 18,920, A.D. 1888. The spring holding- down hook 7 is provided with a brake block, so that, when left free, it will brake and stop the spindle. Normally it is held with its brake block out of action by reason of a projection on the vertical rod 1 engaging a horizontal arm of the hook. When the rod 1 is released automatically on the breakage of a thread, the top roller is raised, the driving-band 4 is slackened, and the brake lever 7 is applied to the wharve. As regards means for bringing the stop-motion into action by the hand of the operative, the rod 1 may be held in its lowest position by means of a cam lever, one end of which may serve as a thread-guide. Or the lever 2 carrying the tension pulley 3 may be disconnected from the rod 1, and the latter may be held in its lowest position by its own weight and that of its connected parts ; when it is desired to raise the roller and stop the spindle the vertical rod is raised and held in the raised position by a cam lever similar to that above referred to, the free end of which may serve as a thread-guide. The pulley 3 may be formed of two sheet-metal discs 3<1>, 3<2>, which are flanged at their edges to form the rim, and united together by their webs, which are perforated, the edges of the perforations in the one being folded around those of the other as shown in Fig. 5. Its axle takes within bushes 2<1>, 2<2>, adjustably mounted on the end of a forked lever, the ends of the bushes being formed each with a chamber for holding a felt washer or material saturated with lubricant.

Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1898-08-16
Granted: 1898-10-22
Abstract: 17,648. Boult, A. J., [Otto, L.]. Aug. 16. Stamping.-Relates to a cutting-out press for cards &c., applicable also for use in cutting tin or other thin sheet metal. The strips of material are fed by the action of gravity down an inclined chute C over against a supporting-tongue P<2> and against a movable stop m<3>. When the cutter descends, the supporting-tongue P<2> is withdrawn, and the blank is cut out and drops through the die plate I. As the cutter rises, the stripper T detaches the strip of material, which falls on the tongue P<2> and slides forward. The stop m<3> has meanwhile been raised, and descends to stop the strip in position for a second cut. The position of the tongue P<2> is adjusted relatively to the stop m<3>, so as to leave sufficient space for the end of a strip which has been used up to fall away and allow a new strip to come into position without loss of stroke. The inclination of the feeding- clutch C is adjustable, and its sides are adjustable to suit the strips to be operated upon. The blanks, when cut out, slide down the delivery chute J to the receiver L, which has a supporting-shelf L<2> cut away in front to enable a pile to be readily taken hold of.
