IPC: F16D1/08
Filed: 1910-07-08
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 16,340. Honold, G. July 8. Securing couplings on shafts. -Relates to means for securing to their shafts couplings of the kind described in Specification 16,339/10, which are employed to drive magneto-ignition machines from the internal-combustion engines with which they are used. In order that the motor shaft k and the ignition-armature shaft a may have a definite relative angular position, the coupling-part c is bored to receive a cylindrical bolt p, which is slotted to fit the shaft a. The bolt is then so far tightened by its nut that the part c turns with difficulty on the shaft. The shaft a and part c are next relatively adjusted to their correct positions, and the bolt is so tightened as to secure them together. A tangential slot is then bored or filed in the shaft and a taper bolt b inserted, so that the shaft and coupling - part are positively secured together.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Miners' Electric Safety Lamps.
Inventor: HAILWOOD ERNEST ARTHUR
Filed: 1911-01-07
Granted: 1912-02-07
Abstract: 436. Hailwood, E. A. Jan. 7. Battery lamps for miners are provided with improved locking-means and ventilation passages for the accumulator casings. In one form, Fig. 2, the lamp is locked by a sliding ratchet plate L<5>, which engages opposite flanges on the two parts B, V<1> of a rectangular accumulator casing. The plate L<5> engages a bolt L, which has a slidable guard L<2> operated by an electro-magnet, as described in Specification 19,400/05, [Class 75, Lamps &c.]. The lamp is locked when the first tooth L<4> engages the bolt, but the lamp circuit is not closed until the plate L<5> is pressed completely home, and the accumulator is lifted to make contact at the terminals. In a modification, Fig. 4, this is effected by an incline B<7> on the flange B<6>, with which the plate L<5> engages. Complete withdrawal of the locking- plate may be prevented by a stop. In another modification, Fig. 5, the locking-plate W<1> slides in grooves B<9> in the top of the accumulator casing B, and carries the lamp W<2> and the lamp glass C. For locking a cylindrical casing, a locking-ring L<5>, Fig. 6, is rotatably supported by a flange B<4> on the upper casing B, and forms a bayonet joint with a flange L<Î> on the lower casing V<1>. A rack L<4> on the ring L<5> is engaged by a guarded bolt L on the casing V<1>, and a guard flange L", Fig. 8, prevents access to the bolt. In a modification, Fig. 9, the lower casing V<1> screws into the casing B, and a long bolt L engages a rack L' formed on the casing. The bolt L carries a contact pin L<8>, which only makes contact with the lamp when the casing V<4> is completely screwed in. In another form, Fig. 10, a bar L<9> carried by the part B is inserted to engage the lock L when the parts are screwed together. In a further form, Fig. 12, the parts B, V<1> are hinged, and the locking bar is inserted in corresponding openings L<10> when the parts are brought together. The accumulator chamber is ventilated by means of a long narrow flame-tight passage A between the accumulator V and the casing B, which may communicate with the atmosphere by means of a guarded passage B<1>, Fig. 2. The accumulator casing is preferably of uninflammable celluloid or celluloid substitute.

Granted: 1912-04-10
Abstract: 8888. McKay, H. V. April 10. Thrashing - machines. -In a machine for stripping and thrashing grain, the body frame is made up of a special arrangement of metal bars, and special means are provided for raising and lowering the machine, adjusting the winnower frame longitudinally and transversely, feeding the material from the pegdrum hopper to the riddles, and driving the various parts of the machine from one of the travelling-wheels. The angle-bar body frame is fastened to a diagonal wooden beam 1 loosely connected to the main axle. It comprises an elongated U-shaped beam 5, an offside longitudinal beam, top beams 10, transverse bars, and tubular and angle-iron posts and stays. The frame is adjusted by means of a worm 15 engaging a rack 14 and rotated by means of a crank 16. The worm may be disconnected from the crank by depressing a handle 18 mounted on a pin 18<a> above a lever 19 which is connected with a spring-controlled clutch 21 by a rod 20. The winnower frame 33 is pivoted on a crossbolt, and is tilted by means of a hand-lever 35, rod 37, arm 38, spindle 39, arms 40, and rods 41. In order that the winnower frame may be levelled transversely, the cross-bolt is pivoted at one end and is adjustable at the other by means of a screw operated by bevel-gearing 46, spindle 47, and hand-wheel 48 near the driver's seat. The material falling from the peg-drum hopper 49 is distributed over the riddles by a corrugated sheet-metal fork or comb 50, Fig. 6, terminating in a flat flange 50<a>. The main driving-spindle 27 is driven by internal teeth on the main wheel 51, which may have a flat or rounded rim. Pullies 54 drive the beater drum 9 and peg drum 8 by means of belts 55<a>, 57<a>, respectively, the belt 57<a> passing over an adjustable tension pulley 59. The elevators 23 and rotary screen 30 are driven by a chain 24<a> passing over an adjustable tension sprocket 31 and a driving-sprocket on the shaker spindle, which is driven from the main spindle 27 by spur gearing. The fan 62 is driven from the shaker spindle by a belt 63<a>. The Provisional Specification also states that the frame of the machine may be of wood, and describes rope and other driving - gearing and means for adjusting the tension pulley.
