Title: Improvements in Cutlery Grinding Machines.
Inventor: JOY CHARLES LITTLE
Filed: 1905-11-13
Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 23,285. Joy, C. L. Nov. 13. Screw-and-nut mechanism.-In a cutlery grinding-machine, the reciprocation of the table carrying the tool to be ground is obtained from a continuously-rotating screw. The screw 13 is driven from a pulley 14 and carries two screw-threads, one a coarse left-hand thread 13<b> and the other a finer right-hand thread 13<a>. The table 15 carries a pivoted lever 34, the ends of which are formed with threads to fit the screws 13, and are alternately depressed into contact with them. The difference in the pitch of the screws gives a quick return motion. The end 34<a> is depressed on to the finer screw 13<a> by the rod 38 operated by a pivoted lever 36 above the table 15. The lever 34 is held in this position during the grinding operation by a pivoted catch 39, which is maintained in position by the spring 40. When the table reaches the end of its journey, a stop 41 releases the catch 39 and the spring 42 forces the end 34b of the lever 34 on to the coarser screw 13<b>. If the spring fails to depress the lever, the bevelled face of a screwed stop acts on a pin projecting laterally from the end of the lever and ensures its contact with the screw. When the table has reached the end of the return journey, the end 34<b> of the lever 34 rests on the plain surface 13<c> of the spindle 13, giving an interval of rest while a fresh knife &c. is being inserted in the holder. The stop 39 can be operated manually at any position of the table.

Title: An Improved Cord-wood Making Machine.
Inventor: WILLIS PERCY RICHARD JULIUS
Filed: 1906-12-01
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 27,332. Willis, P. R. J., [Taylor, L. S.]. Dec. 1. Sawing; cutting-up.-In a machine for making cord-wood from logs, heavy drums are used to hold the wood and drive the tools, so that the intermittent shocks necessary for sawing and splitting the logs are absorbed ; the arrangement enables a motor of small power to be used. The logs are first placed on the bench 43 and reduced by the saw 39 to a thickness required for the holder in the splitting operation. They are then run along a series of rollers 17 to a rectangular stop 20, adjustable by a slot and bolts 21 according to the length of log 19 required. The rollers are mounted on beams 15, 16 on the flattened part of a drum 3, which has its underside cut away, so that by being heavier on the upper side it is easily tilted by handles 67 into contact with the saw 39. The drum is provided at each end with holes 10, which may be ferruled, Fig. 3, to engage studs 4 screwed to plates 5 on the beams 2, or may be coincident with perforations in metal strips 8, Fig. 2, engaging pins 4, the heads of which rest on the base 1. The extent of the rolling of the drum is limited by curved blocks 11, beams 13 keeping it in position longitudinally. The saw is mounted, to increase its velocity, on a sleeve connected by chain or toothed gearing, or by pulleys and belts 74, 70, with a second heavy drum 27 mounted on a concentric shaft 37, Fig. 3, and driven by a belt 34, so that with little power the saw will have sufficient momentum for cutting. This drum 27 carries a hammer 28, which is fitted in a socket and retained by angle-plates 29 and has a metal face 30, or is surrounded by a metal socket, or is entirely of metal with flanges 29. After the logs are sawn to length, they are separately placed within plates 47 secured in a recess in a drum 66, and carrying two crossed blades 48, 49. The drum has its underside cut away, and when in the position, Fig. 3, for the log 56 to be split, the outer end of the blade 49 and also the rear end 53 of the operating- handle 51 rest on a metal plate 55 secured to a cross-bar 54. In this position, the log is held down by a lever 68 supported by a lever 58, pivoted in a recess in the drum and resting against a stop 59 The split wood may fall on to a band conveyer 61 or an incline.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Means for Preventing or Lessening Skidding or Side Slipping in Vehicles Designed to Run on Common Roads but more particularly Motor Driven Vehicles.
Inventor: AGAR MORLEY FREDERICK
Filed: 1906-12-19
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 28,924. Agar, M. F. Dec. 19. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-To prevent side-slip of motor-omnibuses and other vehicles, a medium that will offer resistance to the lateral motion is applied in the rear angle between the wheel and the ground, the point of application being thus to the rear of a vertical line through the centre of the axle. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement, in which the resisting-medium is a trailing loop of chain g<1> which, when the slip occurs, is pulled forwards by the driver by means of a lever j so that it becomes wedged under the rear part of the side of the wheel that faces the direction towards which the skid is taking place. When travelling on a good road, the chain can be held up out of contact with the ground by a cable h. Various other arrangements in which the chain loop is employed as the resisting- medium are described. In one modification, shown in Fig. 3<a> in plan, the chain is divided into two loops by an intermediate length of chain g<*1> which trails in the circumferential recess between the two twin tyres. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, a single length of chain g<1>, attached at its front end to a strut g and stay g<2>, trails in the recess between the twin tyres, the action being automatic. In Fig. 10, the resisting-medium shown consists of a bar g<1> bent round the back of the wheel and carried by the hinged strut g. In Fig. 16, the resisting- medium shown consists of a pair of rollers g<1>. In other arrangements, it consists of a brush and of a block of raw hide.
