Patent GB-190822763-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Milling Cutters.
Filed: 1908-10-27
Granted: 1909-10-27
Abstract: 22,763. Kendall & Gent, and Lindley, H. Oct. 27. Tools.-In a rotary milling-cutter for shaping or cutting metal and other material, removable blades c of high-speed steel of rectangular cross-section and approximately semicircular in profile are secured in correspondingly-shaped slots or recesses b in the cutter body by wedges d, which pass through holes f in the body and have flat taper surfaces e to abut the blades. The blades may be arranged tangentially to spirals round the body, two spirals, one lefthanded, and one right-handed being provided, if, desired, to neutralize end-thrust. The wedges may be removed by a drifting- appliance as described in Specification No. 13,155, A.D. 1906, but in the case of cutters with a small bore, a small drift is inserted in the holes f by an appliance i, Fig. 6, with a cut-away portion k for permitting the removal of the appliance, and is driven against the wedges by an inclined surface on a rod inserted in the bore. The cutter body, instead of being bored out or screwed out internally for attachment to the machine spindle, may be in one with a shank for the same purpose. The slots are cut by a circular saw or milling-cutter. According to the Provisional Specification, the face of the cutting-blade that bears against the wedge may be serrated or grooved to prevent rotation ; also the wedges may be removed, in cases in which an odd number of spirals are employed, by drilling holes right through the cutter body to meet the wedge holes for insertion of a drift.

Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 1107. Barnes, J. Jan. 16. Beetling. - In machines in which fallers are employed to give a glossy finish to woven fabrics, the fallers being caused to beat on the fabric as it passes over slowly rotating and transversely reciprocating beams, the construction is modified to enable a larger quantity of fabric to be treated. A number of sets of fallers a... a<3> are arranged in a frame band are operated by sets of lifters c ... c<3>, which are driven in unison by grooved pulleys d...d<3> actuated from the driving-shaft by a pulley on the shaft c<4> of the lifters c. A beam e is mounted on a frame m under each set of fallers, and the beams are driven , by gearing g on a shaft j driven from the shaft c' by straps k<2>, l<2> on speed pulleys k, k<1> and l, l<1>. The frame m is mounted on transverse rails u, and is laterally reciprocated by end connexions to eccentrics n<1> on a shaft n which is driven by a worm and worm-wheel p and a pulley p<1> connected to the pulley d<2>. The frame m has an extension r at one end which carries the feed roller t, and at the other a frame for the batching and plaiting apparatus. The fabric passes from the feed roller t alternately under guide rollers q and over beams e, returning under said guide rollers and over and between guide rollers q<3>, q<4> actuated by straps from a beam shaft, at one end of the frame and thence back again to rollers q. When the required quantity of fabric has been chased round, it passes to the batching or to the plaiting apparatus around rollers q<x>, q<7> at the other end of the frame, these being also actuated from one of the beam shafts,

Title: Improvements in Free-engine Belt-driving Mechanism for Motor Cycles and the like.
Inventor: SANGSTER CHARLES THOMAS BROCK
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1909-02-15
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 3710. Sangster, C. T. B. Feb. 15. Expanding pulleys.-In an expanding pulley for motor-cycles and other belt-driven vehicles, the flanges are separated against the action of a spring by the relative rotation of cam-faced rings until the belt runs on a free ring at the base of the pulley groove. Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the pulley, and Fig. 4 is a section on the line x<1>, Fig. 1. One flange a<1> of the pulley is made integral with the body part a, and the other flange is slidably keyed at f to a ring secured to the body. The movable flange is pressed towards the fixed flange by a spring e which abuts against a fixed plate h screwed to an extension of the body a, which passes through a slotted sleeve d and prevents rotation thereof. This sleeve carries put of a thrust bearing for two rings m, n, the faces of which are formed with coacting cam or ratchet teeth m<1>, n', so that, when one ring is rotated relatively to the other, the sleeve d is moved axially, and, by means of the flanges d<1>, c<3>, moves the sliding pulley flange against the action of the spring. When the flanges are separated sufficiently, the belt runs free on a ball-bearing ring p<1>.

Abstract: 3929. Zins, J. Feb. 17. Bending, forging, and rolling horseshoes.-In a horseshoe-making machine, the blanks are carried on a reciprocating table to bending, die-rolling, and drifting apparatus, which are put into ac:ion by the table on its forward stroke and are re-set on its return. The table b carries a former c and cam-paths for controlling the movement of the bending-rollers d. The die-roll f carries levers f<3>, which are engaged by fingers f<4> on the table, and the drifting-dies g are carried by an eccentric on a shaft g<1>. This shaft has arms i passing through a fixed shaft i<1>, and also arms h, h<1>, one of which is lowered and the other is raised. As the table moves forwards, slots c<2> engage the arms h, thus moving the drifting-means forwards and causing the shaft g<1> to be partly rotated to lower the dies ; the turning of the shaft g<1> raises the arms h and lowers the arms h<1>, which are engaged by corresponding slots in the table on the return movement. Pins j<1> below the former engage an incline j<2> and eject the finished shoe on to a pivoted shoot j. The reciprocation of the table is automatically effected by a projection b<1>, engaging a clutch-controlling lever k, which can be operated from a hand-wheel n<3> for stopping and starting.

Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 29,395. Cater, R. W., and Schofield, G. V. A. Dec. 15. Cutting and perforating appliances.-An instrument for tapping rubber or other gum trees is arranged to be used for any system of tapping in any direction, and comprises a rectangular plate A, Figs. 2 and 3, having a central aperture a<1> in which the cutting- blade B is disposed, and end standards c<1> connected by the handle C, which is arranged directly over the blade so that the entire strength of the arm or body may be utilized. The standards c' may be shortened and turned to constitute dual handles or tangs to which handles may be attached or the handle may be at right-angles, instead of parallel to the plane of the plate and connected thereto by a number of downwordly extending divergent arms. The blades which are interchangeable, and each of which has both incising and paring edges, are adjustably secured by a bolt f in a recess in a lug a<c> on the plate A. To allow more clearance for the fingers, the blades may be bent as shown in Fig. 8<A>, and they may be provided with three arms each with a cutting- edge. The front and rear edges of the plate may be upturned or flat, or may have parts cut away to reduce the weight. A spike d on the front edge of the plate is used for testing the thickness of the bark, for commencing the cut, or for removing any adhering rubber. To assist the movement of the apparatus and the expression of the latex from the incised cells, rollers e, preferably four in number, are arranged in apertures in the plate; and in order to enable the pared channel to be bridged, additional rollers may be incorporated in the plate or in a detachable frame. A finger-guard H may be arranged between the handle and cutter by means of ears h' secured to the standards c<1>.

Abstract: 8122. Iwanoff, I. April 4. Printing - surfaces. - Printing-rollers for printing fabrics &c. are formed from an engraved zinc plate which is passed together with a layer a of lead, or an alloy of lead and antimony, between pressure rollers so as to obtain a relief design in the lead. The layer a is then wound around a wooden roller packed with cardboard and linen, and the edges of the lead are soldered so as to form a cylinder with the design on the interior. This cylinder is coated internally with a layer of copper c in a bath of copper sulphate and is then placed concentrically around a cast-iron tube d with a tinned surface, and a lead or other suitable laver e is cast in the annular space and adheres to the layer c. The outer lead layer is then removed by cutting it lengthwise and stripping it from the copper layer and the roller with the design thereon can then be used as a printing-surface.
