Abstract: 354,386. Drilling-machines. ADCOCK, G. and SHIPLEY, H., (trading as ADCOCK & SHIPLEY), Rex Machine Tool Works, Bright Street, Leicester. May 10, 1930, No. 14424. [Class 83 (iii).] In a multiple spindle drilling or like machine, the tool spindles are fed towards and away from the work by means of a slidable grooved collar, concentric with the main driving shaft, which controls bell-crank levers connected to the spindles. The driving shaft 3 of an electric motor 2, Fig. 1, rotates, by means of bevel gears 4, 5, 7, 8, lay shafts 9 which drive the drill spindles 12 through spur wheels 10, 11. Concentric with the vertical driving shaft 6 is a grooved collar 17 which is rigidly connected by rods 19 to a slide 20, normally forced downwards by extension springs 30; a cam 22 fixed to a shaft 23, which is driven by a worm and worm wheel 25, 24 from a secondary shaft 26, imparts a uniform feed and quick return to the tool spindles by contacting with a roller 27 attached to the slide 20. A number of bell-crank levers are rotated by the movement of the collar 17 and simultaneously feed the drill spindles ; allowance is made for the vertical movement of the ends 37 of the levers by providing pivoted blocks 40, Fig. 2, which move in vertical grooves 41 in collars 42 attached to the spindles. Feed of the spindles is automatically stopped by arranging a clutch device, Fig. 3, to uncouple the worm wheel 24 from the cam shaft 23. A bar 45 having a limited movement in a transverse boring of the cam shaft 23 is provided with a groove 48 into which a spring- pressed ball 49 seats when the clutch element 44 is uncoupled from the worm wheel; the bar 45 is manually set and rotates with the cam shaft and worm wheel until a conical catch 50 on the bar contacts with an adjustable stop 51 mounted on the fixed face-plate 52. The tool spindles may also be arranged with their axes inclined or parallel and the whole machine may be bodily reversed so that the work may be more easily introduced and removed from the jig 14. Specification 287,304, [Class 83 (iii), Metals, Cutting], is referred to.

Abstract: 183,968. Lorand, F. May 26, 1921. Switches, quickaction of the stepby-step rotary type operated by the cover comprise a base portion 2 on which the cover 1 is mounted to rotate bv means of its spindle 6, 7, the parts being held together by the spring 14, and a contact-bridging member 11, which may have several contact arms, mounted on the square portion 6 of the spindle to rotate therewith and be capable of some axial movement thereon. The fixed hollow contacts are screwed into the base and have surfaces just above the surface of a recess in which the contact bridging- member 11 lies with a weak spring 17 acting in opposition to the main spring 14 between it and the cover to hold it down on the contacts. The quick action is obtained by the reaction between similar cam formations 3, 4, Fig. 6, of triangular or corrugated section on the cover and base respectively, under the control of the spring 14. The base is cut away at 19 to give access to the terminal screws 10.

[Class 144 (i).] A wheel for motor vehicles and the like comprises a pair of conical discs 1, 2, Fig. 3, bulged slightly at their centres to leave a shallow space 12, and having their outer edges dished or curved to form rims 3 for the tyre 4, Fig. 1. The discs are attached to a hub 6 of the wheel by bolts 7 which, when tightened, force the discs together to give rigidity to the wheel. For use as a spare wheel, holes are provided near the periphery for taking bolts 10 which hold the discs temporarily together. These bolts are removed when the wheel has been secured bv the bolts 7 to the hub. In a modification the hub is placed inside the circumferential member of the brake drum and the discs are secured to the brake drum only.

Abstract: A composite article e.g. a cooking utensil such as a cake tin, comprises a metallic subtrate, a layer of cermet composed of at least one metal and at least one ceramic in superposed adherence to the substrate, the cermet layer being porous and having an irregular surface and the amounts of metal and ceramic in the cermet being such that the layer is both ductile and abrasion resistant, and layer of a fluoro-carbon resin in superposed adherence to the cermet layer, the surface of the fluorocarbon layer being either continuous or interrupted by a plurality of exposed cermet surfaces, the total area of said surfaces constituting a minor proportion of the total area of the surface. The cermet layer may be approximately 0.002 inch thick and may be composed of 60 \sB 2% of the ceramic component e.g. aluminium oxide, and 40 \sB 2% of the metal component e.g. aluminium. The cermet layer may be applied by flame-spraying i.e. the metal and ceramic components are deposited simultaneously.  The fluorocarbon resin may be applied in an aqueous dispersion by flow coating, dipping or spraying, and the coating sintered to form a film in superposed adherence to the cermet layer.  The substrate may be of aluminium, an aluminium alloy, or stainless steel.  The substrate may be cleaned, heated and/or roughened e.g. by grit blasting, prior to the application of the cermet.  The metal component of the cermet may be aluminium, which may be in the form of spherical particles in a size range of -150+325 mesh (Tyler Screen Classification), an aluminium alloy, stainless steel, a nickel-chromium alloy, or mixtures thereof.  The ceramic component of the cermet may be aluminium oxide, which may be of particle size of from 10 to 44 microns, zirconium dioxide mullite or mixtures thereof.  The fluorocarbon resin may be polytetrafluoroethylene, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyvinylidenefluoride, poly (fluorinated ethylene-propylene), or mixtures thereof.

Retort furnaces. - In connexion with vertical retorts for distilling coal, shale, lignite &c. of the kind in which the coal &c. passes through zones of different temperatures, and the different gaseous products are drawn off at different levels from the retorts through outlets which are arranged to overhang certain parts of the retorts in such a manner that obstruction of the outlets cannot take place, the heating of the retorts is effected by gas and regeneratively heated air, and the burners and flues are so arranged that the products of combustion pass downwards through staggered passages arranged so as to be easily adjustable for varying the heating and for main. taining a uniform heat throughout each horizontal zone. Cool air may be admitted when desired to the flues. The burners and flues are arranged as in Fig. 2. Each pair nf retorts has a series of flues 17 between them, and these flues receive heated gases from burners 20 supplied from a header 22 and pipe 21 with a mixture of gas and heated air, which the header receives from a pipe 23 and a recuperator 25 respectively, the recuperator 25 serving to cool the coke prior to discharge. The flues 17 are connected by passages 19 arranged in staggered relation to one another, and the openings to the passages 19 may be controlled by dampers preferably consisting of independent bricks 32 operated by a tool inserted through an opening 33 normally closed by a door 34. The passages 19 increase in size according to their distance from the burners in order to secure uniformity of heat, and to control temperature the burners 20 are fitted with valves 29, and valves 31 control the admission of cool air. The products of combustion pass by openings 27 and tube 28 to a chimney shaft.

Abstract: 221,015. Boyd, T. A., Boyd, H. A., and Boyd, Ltd., J. & T. June 6,1923. Clutches; gearing for stopping and starting machinery; securing toothed wheels on shafts.- In means for stopping and starting cheese-winding and like spindles in winding and like frames, a. rotor carries one or more free members which are driven first frictionally and then positively. The spindle 8 driving the cotton yarn winding- drum 14 is driven from the driving-shaft 3 by spiral gearing 4, 12, the wheel 4 being constantly connected frictionally with the shaft 3 by hard wood blocks 2 carried on the wheel and pressed by a hoop spring 4<3> against the shaft. The spindle 8 is normally stopped by an arm 24 on a rock-shaft 16 engaging a lug on a disc 23 secured to the spindle. To start the drive, the shaft 16 is turned by a hand lever 18, so that the stop arm 24 releases the disc 23 and, at the same time, a second arm 17 on the shaft 16 moves a positive clutch 7 to connect the shaft 3 and wheel 4 and a spring-controlled arm 19 on the rock-shaft is engaged by a pivoted latch 20. When the clutch 7 is to be disengaged, the latch 20 is moved to release the arm 19, and the friction coupling 2 ensures that the spindle 8 is rotated until the arm 24 engages the lug on the disc 23.
