Title: Improvements in Lathes.
IPC: B23Q16/00
Filed: 1911-08-01
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 17,477. Schellenbach, W. L., and Lodge & Shipley Machine Tool Co. Aug. 1. Lathes.-Engine lathes are provided with a multiple tool-holder with special tool-posts arranged to operate a selector stop-bar device for gauging the surfacing and traversing motions and for automatically stopping the power traversing gear. The slide-rest carries a series of tool-holders 10, Figs. 1 and 2, pivoted on removable trunnions to engage, when required, a common support F, Fig. 6, having a key I, with inclines i<3> and a screw-down action controlled by a handle and racks and pinions J. which engages a T-slotted recess h<2>, Fig. 3, in the base of the tool-posts, which have a swivelling upper portion G. Each tool-holder is recessed to contain a slide k<1> adapted to engage, when the tool-holder is in the operative position, with one of a series of pins K which stand in the path of surfacing stops 30 adjustably secured at 29. The slides k<1> are shouldered at k<5> and the pins K at k<8>, to provide for roughing and finishing cuts. The slides k<1> can be slid out of the paths of the pins K if the stops are to be dispensed with temporarily. The saddle is traversed from a spindle shaft by bevel and spur gearing, partly shown in Fig. 2, and including a hand crank and a friction clutch M<1>. The train terminates in a pinion engaging the rack d<2>. A second rack O adjustably secured to the bed engages a pinion P journaled in the saddle and meshing with a pinion splined to a cam-shaft Q which is carried by the slide-rest, and carries a number of axially and angularly adjustable stop cams R, one for each tool-holder. A rock-shaft S, Fig. 14, carries pivoted arms 40, with screws 46 preferably having stepped heads to provide for roughing and finishing cuts, and rocked into and out of operative position by levers 50 controlled by the pins K. The shaft Q has a screwed connexion with the slide-rest q, to permit the cams R to make one or more revolutions before contacting with the stop-bars to enable the diameter of the cams to be kept small without restricting the saddle travel. When a cam contacts with a stop, the shaft S is rocked, and, through a series of rods and levers, slides the sleeve m<2> to disengage the clutch M<1>. The feed is then continued by the hand crank till the end of the lever 40 in action is brought against the dead stop 48, Fig. 14. In a modification, the tool - posts are detachable instead of being pivoted, and have fixed tail-pieces with slides similar to the slides k<1> adapted to engage each with a particular one of the pins K. When turning a number of similar articles from stock w, a centre rest T is employed, and, at the beginning of the operation, the graduated rack-bar O is set with the stop O<2> in contact with the saddle. After the finished article has been parted, the bar O is unclamped from the bed and shifted along until the stop again contacts with the saddle.

Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 22,869. Ridlon, J. F. Oct. 17. Penholders.-A penholder provided with means for ejecting the nib comprises an inner tubular member 13, Fig. 4, secured to the reduced end 11, Fig. 3, of the staff, and having two longitudinal slots 15, 16 separated by a bridge 17, and an outer tubular member 18 having two inwardly-stamped tongues 22, 23 engaging the slots 15, 16. One of the tongues 23 is adapted to eject the nib 20, which is inserted between the two tubular members, when the outer member is slid forward on the inner member. The extent of movement of the outer member is limited in either direction by the engagement of the tongues 22, 23 with the bridge 17. An annular rib 21 may be formed on the outer tube to serve as a gripping-member.

Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 23,892. White, J., and Gray, F. W. Oct. 28. Strainers; rotary filters or strainers.-A to- and-fro movement that can be varied while the strainer is in operation is imparted to the diaphragm A, Fig. 1, of a pulp strainer by means of a rotating crank G and a vibrating rod H passed through a rocking member J which serves as a movable fulcrum. These parts are contained within a chamber D forming an oil-bath. A saddle K in which the member J is fitted can be traversed in the chamber by means of a screw-threaded shaft with an external handle M. The vibrations of the rod H are communicated to the diaphragm A by a piston B, which works in a vertical part C of the chamber D and is partly supported by a spring P. Fig. 2 shows a form in which a diaphragm S is oscillated about a spindle S' by means of a crank X and connecting-rods W, W<1>, T, the rod W extending through a vertically-adjustable fulcrum Y. The arm V<2> of the oil-bath casing V is closed by a flexible oil-tight diaphragm U or by a cover connected to the arm by a flexible sleeve. The straining-vat and diaphragm may be constructed as described in Specification 8599/10, but a stationary strainer is preferred.

Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 11,841. Lohrmann, P. May 21. Fish, dressing.-An apparatus for cleaning fish comprises a pair of opposing conveyer belts between which the fish are placed after being washed and decapitated, the belts serving to carry the fish past appliances by which the belly fins, entrails, and bones are removed. The fish are placed in a drum 40 in a tank 1, Fig. 1, and are cleansed of scales and dirt by a rotating spiral brush 3. They are then lifted by an elevator 5 on to a table 6, on which is arranged an endless band 9, Fig. 2, carrying the fish forward to a pair of rotary disk knives 12, 13 for removing the heads. During this process, the heads are held on spikes on a rotary drum by means of a spring 45, and the bodies are steadied by a spring 46. The fish are then placed on a travelling band 17, Fig. 3, and are carried forward in a channel formed by the band 17, an upper band 18, and two bands 24, 25, all of which are corrugated on their engaging surfaces, as shown in section in Fig. 13. A shaped roller 21 ensures that the fish are correctly placed in a longitudinal position on the band 17. The protruding belly fins &c. are removed as the fish are carried past vertical disk knives 19, 20. An horizontal disk knife 22, shown in plan in Fig. 8, then splits the fish open, and a rail 26<a> holds them open while the entrails are removed by a revolving scraper 23. A reciprocating brush 27 protruding through a slot in the rail 26 completes the cleaning, which is effected under a spray of water from a nozzle. The bones are then loosened by a pair of parallel disk knives 29, and are removed by a rotary scraper 30. If desired, the fish may now be fed by an endless band to a series of parallel disk knives by which they are divided into sections. The various conveyer belts are backed by spring-pressed plates such as 14, Fig. 2.

Abstract: 13,019. Haigh, H. R. June 5. Races, indicating and recording apparatus for. - Relates to apparatus for timing motorcars &c. of the kind in which electric connexion between the stations is normally dead. A stopwatch b is mounted on a base-board a between rubber or other buffers 3 so that the knob 1 can be struck by a pivoted spring - controlled hammer 4, normally held off by a catch on an armature 10 of a magnet 18. The watch is preferably at the starting station, and the catch is released by a spring bolt 11 when the car or timed object breaks a thread 15 stretched across the track. The attendant then re-sets the hammer 11, and on the car attaining the second station a similar spring bolt 24 makes contact at a terminal 26 and energizes the magnet. This releases the hammer 7 and stops the watch, at the same time breaking the circuit between the hammer and the armature. To ensure the action, a relay armature 19 operable by a feeble current is fitted to connect the battery through a local circuit 43, 44 with the magnet and actuate the armature 10. Telephone plugs t may be fitted at both starting and stopping stations to utilize the timing lines. A contact may be arranged operable by the mere flexure of the thread which then draws a contact 50, Fig. 2, on the bolt against a contact 54 which can be adjusted.
