Abstract: 17,744. Turner, A. July 31. Drilling-machines.-A drilling-machine of the type having a rotary turret carrying a number of spindles has a counterbalancing arrangement for each spindle and a stop device for limiting the feed of each spindle. The turret 21 is rotatably mounted in a casing 23 on the frame of the machine and is supported by a rod 28; it is rotated through a rack 35 operated through bevel-gearing from a hand-wheel. The turret carries three spindles 22 having gear-wheels 33 thereon, and one spindle 22<a> with a different-sized gear-wheel thereon, these gear-wheels being adapted when the respective spindle is in the working position to be engaged with a driving-gear 32, with the exception of the larger wheel which engages a wheel 31 and is driven at a lower speed than the others. The driving-gears, Fig. 2, are mounted on a$haft 16 driven through bevel-gearing and a belt from the main spindle of the machine, this shaft also carrying a sprocketwheel 30 which drives through a sprocketchain a gear 88 connected by change-speed gearing 81, a clutch 83, and worm gearing 77, 78, to a shaft 74 which drives the spindle feed-device. This device consists of a shaft 56 carrying a pinion 59 in gear with another pinion 57 carried on a short shaft mounted on a pivoted block 55 pressed inwards to cause engagement of the pinion 57 with the rock 42 on the spindle to cause feed, by a cam 63 integral with a handle 61. A stop 67 limits this inward movement. Disengagement is caused by depressing the handle, whereupon at the same time a spring-pressed locking-pin 70, Fig. 6, withdrawn by a cam 68 and a stop pawl 50 is pulled out of the path of the stops 49 carried on the turret, by a cam 69. The shaft 56 is operated by hand or through worm gearing 72, 73 from the shaft 74, means being provided to disengage the power feed when necessary. For this purpose, the shaft 74 is carried in a pivoted bracket carrying a yoke 94, Fig. 7, which can be raised to bring the worm 73 into gear with the wheel by a cam 95 on a handle 96, a pin on this handle engaging a notch 107 in a lever 98 to maintain engagement. For disengagement, stops 106 on the drill spindles operate the levers 102, 101, 98, Fig. 2, and allow the handle 96 to fall sideways, whereupon the yoke and shaft 74 drop. Each spindle is counterbalanced by a chain 46 attached to a shell 45 which is connected by a flat spring to a fixed spindle 44, Fig. 10, in such a manner that, during feed, the spring is tightened so that on release the spindle is raised. The work table is fixed to a bracket capable of being raised and lowered by a screw operated by hand through bevel-gearing.

Abstract: 20,557. Michaud, G., and Delasson, E. Sept. 9. Tin, obtaining and depositing; band-conveyer apparatus; cells; diaphragms; electrodes; treatment after electrolysis.-An electrolyte for the recovery or refining of tin is made by dissolving tin protochloride in water, say to a strength of 80 grammes per litre, and adding first enough sulphuric acid to dissolve any precipitated hydrate, and then one per cent each of magnesium chloride and boric acid, dissolved in sufficient water to bring the final density of the electrolyte to 20‹ BÚ. During electrolysis the electrolyte is continually circulated through a tank containing tin waste, to prevent accumulation of acid. In one form of apparatus, granulated impure tin is contained in a wicker basket b lined with felt, and supports a copper block e making electric connexion. Copper plates c are embedded in insulating-material in the bottom of the cell so that their upper edges form the cathode surface. Scrapers h reciprocated by endless chains remove the deposited metal into wells at the ends of the cell. In a modification, the scrapers sweep the tin over one end of the cell into a separate receptacle. An endless band to which the scrapers are attached may also carry tinned articles making contact with flexible metal strips so as to form the anode; a second band removes the articles from the cell.
