Abstract: 16,969. Reichwald, A., [Krupp, F.]. July 31. Milling.-Worm-wheels for gearing with worms of the type known as " Hindley's endless screw " are cut by a number of tools C of the required profile mounted in a segmental cutterholder B secured to a shaft A, and concentric with the wheel blank, the shaft and blank (not shown) being driven at the velocity ratio of the finished worm gearing. The tools are arranged to correspond to an axial section of the worm, each tool entering the groove cut in the blank by the preceding one, and being separately adjusted to take equals depths of cut. The tools are adjusted by turning nuts G, held longitudinally in the cutter-holder by pins H, and engaging the screwed shanks c<3> of the tools which are prevented from rotating by squared collars c<2>. The cutter-holder may be adjusted on the shaft concentrically with the blank by means of bolts F and slots, after the teeth have heen cut to the full depth, to cut a new profile. The gearing connecting the shaft A to the blank is disconnected in order that the shaft may be advanced the same fraction of a revolution that the adjustment of the cutter-holder is of the pitch. Any desired number of profile cuts may be taken according to the accuracy desired. Two cutter shafts may be used, or one shaft may carry more than one cutterholder. Profiled milling-cutters may also be used in place of the cutters shown. The milling-cutters C<1>, Fig. 5, are carried by spindles connected by gearing K<1> and driven by gearing R, N', N, 0 from a shaft S, the wheel O being carried by links so that it remains in gear with the wheels K<1>, N during any angular adjustment of the cutter-holder B'.

Title: Calculating or Computing Machine
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1902-12-30
Granted: 1903-03-26
Abstract: 28,738. Fairweather, W., [Shattuck Manufacturing Co.]. Dec. 30. Calculating-apparatus for solving problems in addition and subtraction, operated by the metal point 21 of a hand-tool 20, comprises a figured plate or face, which is divided into columns by slots 5, through which the operating- tool works upon the spirally-grooved rollers 6. The figure plates are inclined, and the figure spaces are separated by raised lugs 22, to facilitate the accurate introduction of the point 21 of the tool 20. The shafts of the rollers 6 carry, at the one end, the figure wheels 11, and, at the other, the intermittent gear, which preferably comprises a locking-disc 15 provided with a single tooth 16, and a ten-tooth gear 17 provided with concave surfaces which interlock with the locking-disc upon the shaft to the right. The gears 17 are sufficiently wide to allow, when making an addition, of the shafts 6 being drawn forwards against the action of the springs 14 by the insertion of the point 21 in the grooves of the rollers, and thus disconnecting the roller concerned from the locking- disc to the right. The movement of the point 21 then causes the roller to rotate and communicate movement to the shafts at the left, until the tool is withdrawn at the straight part 8 of the groove, whereupon the spring 14 forces the shaft back to the position in which it is interlocked with the gears to the right. In subtracting a number, the tool is forced backwards, the gearing being in this case disconnected by pushing the projecting end 25 of the shaft of the roller required. The number of grooves in each roller or the number of turns of the single spiral may be varied to suit the relative value of the article to be counted, and a longitudinally-movable rack or bar may be provided for returning the figure wheels 11 to zero. Additional gears may be employed as a further preventative against overthrowing.
