Title: Calculating Machines of the Thomas Type.
IPC: G06C11/04
Filed: 1911-08-19
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 18,735. Akt.-Ges. vorm. Seidel & Naumann. Sept. 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Multiplying and dividing apparatus.-In machines of the Thomas type, which are adapted to print the items or multiplicands set, and are provided with a printing-lever in addition to the usual crank, three keys 1, 2, 3 are provided, of which (i) the key 1, when depressed, disables the calculating-mechanism so that the item is printed without being added, (ii) the key 3 is adapted to disable the printing-mechanism, while (iii) the depression of the key 2, or of any key, releases either of the other keys if depressed. The printing-lever, as known, effects the rotation of the toothed disk F<2> and thus of the main shaft through a connecting-rod G, and also actuates the printing-hammers through a link X. (i) The connexion between the rod G and the disk F<2> comprises a sector 4, upon which is pivoted a pawl 7. The shoulder of the pawl in its movement to the left engages one of the four teeth of the disk F<2>, and turns it through a quarter of a revolution. When the key 1 is depressed, however, the pawl is rocked out of engagement with the disk. The key is locked in its depressed position by means of a notched locking-bar 15. (ii) The key 3, when depressed, moves into the path of a pin 18 on the link X, and thus prevents its forward movement and the consequent actuation of the printing - hammers when the printing - lever is operated. This key is locked in the same manner as the key 1. (iii) The key 2, or any key, is adapted to move the locking-bar 15 and release either of the keys 1, 3.

Abstract: 3456. Heaton, J. Feb. 12. Cutting-machines. - A machine for cutting clay &c. into shaped pieces comprises a table 1 above which is arranged a reciprocating frame 3<a> carrying a cutting-frame 13 &c. The frame 3<a> is reciprocated through links 8 by a counterweighted treadle lever 10 and is guided by a rod 3 sliding in guides 4 on a guide-piece 4<a>, which can be tilted by screws 6 if desired. The frame 13 comprises a ring &c. formed with tiers of differently-spaced perforations 13<b> adapted to receive screwed studs 14, Figs. 6 and 7, having hooked ends to which the cutting-wires 15 are attached. By suitably disposing the wires 15, blocks of any desired shape and size can be cut. To produce blocks having re-entrant angles, dies 18, Fig. 7, are employed, attached to brackets 19 secured to the ring. Fig. 6 shows an arrangement for producing curved blocks in which a cutting-wire is bent into a curve by a series of radial straining-wires attached to the studs 14. The blocks may be cut with rugous surfaces as described in Specifications 13,970/10 and 13,255/11, by intcrposing springs between the ring 13 and the nuts of the studs 14. Blocks with inclined faces arc produced by tilting the guides 4 or the table.

Abstract: 3954. Preston, W. R. Feb. 16. Multiple-delivery piston pumps; stroke, varying.-A force-feed lubricator comprises one or more differential piston pumps, the cylinders and passages of which are bored out from an enlarged portion of an oil-reservoir cast in one with the pump bodies, the mechanism for operating the plungers being also contained within the reservoir. Fig. 2 shows a lubricator of this type in which the pump cylinders are arranged in pairs in such a manner that the pistons c of each pair can be operated by a common oscillating lever d. The cylinders a and suction and delivery passages w, x, y, z, 1, 2 are bored out from the thickened portions v of the oil reservoir b, the ends of these passages after the valves &c. have been inserted being plugged in the manner shown. The levers d operating each pair of pistons are carried by a shaft f which is mounted in the manner shown in Fig. 1 and oscillated by means of a forked lever i operated by an eccentric k upon a shaft l rotated by a pawl and ratchet-wheel o, n from the external oscillating lever r. The pistons c are operated by pins 17 carried by the levers d and working in slots formed in the ends of the pistons, the length of these slots being adjustable by means of set-screws 18 so as to vary the amount of lost motion and therefore the stroke of the pumps. In the event of the screws 18 working loose, the stroke of the pumps cannot be reduced by more than one-half as the length of the slots is limited. An auxiliary hand-operating device 27 is fitted at the side of the casing, and a steam - pipe 32 passes through the casing for the purpose of warming the oil in cold weather. The oil can be drained off by means of a cock 33.
