Patent GB-190512429-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Automatically Released Clutch or Screw-socket for Driving Tools and Shafts, Inserting Studs, and other purposes.
Inventor: ERRINGTON FRANKLIN ALFRED
Filed: 1905-06-15
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 12,429. Errington, F. A. June 28, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Tool - holders; chucks. - Relates to means for driving rotating parts such as shafts, tools, &c. or for setting studs, and to means for automatically releasing the driven part when the resistance to driving becomes too great. Fig. 2 shows the appliance as used for setting a stud, but it may be provided with a socket suitably shaped to engage the end of atool. The driving- shank 1 is provided with a flange 2 which presses a fibre washer 10 into frictional engagement with a sleeve 8 when acted on by an adjusting- nut 9, an intermediate washer 11 having a lug 12 which engages a slot 13 in the sleeve 8. A left-handed screw 5 slides in, but turns with, the shank 1 and carries a spring 7 which bears on a bar 20 passing through an external ring 22, the sleeve 8, and a longitudinally split nut 25.. The split hut is provided with friction faces 29, 30 adapted to engage corresponding faces 15, 16 on the sleeve 8. To set a stud 28, the sleeve 22 is moved into the position shown and the nut 9 tightened. The stud 28 first screws into the right-handed part 27 of the nut 25 and, when it abuts against the surface 33, is screwed into the hole 31. When it reaches the bottom of the hole, the resistance causes the part 2 to slip so that the screw 5 rotates more quickly than the nut 25 and is moved up into the shank 1 against the spring 6 until it abuts against the surface 3, when continued rotation will move the nut 25 so that the surfaces 29, 30 will be pushed into the recesses 17, 18 in the sleeve 8 and the parts of the nut will separate, releasing the stud 28 and screw 5. Where the stud is not to be set by the tension of a friction clutch, it may be positively set by the use of a piece of tubing between the sleeve 8 and the work to prevent motion of the sleeve. Where small studs are set. the sleeve 8 and clutch nut 25 may be pulled apart when the setting is completed

Title: Improvements in Dough Feeding Mechanism.
Inventor: COPLAND ALEXANDER WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-11-15
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 23,514. Copland, A. W. Nov. 15. Bakers' ovens; charging.-An apparatus for removing sections of sheet dough from the conveyer C of a biscuit-cutting machine and depositing them, differently arranged, on a conveyer B which carries them through an oven, comprises a suction box E supported by a frame F on a hollow standard G and adapted to be swung from a position over the band C to a position over the band D which carries the dough to the conveyer B. An auxiliary conveying band H in alinement with the conveyer C and passing under the suction box is preferably used. The suction box is connected by pipes with a sleeve on the hollow standard G which is fitted with valves opening to a suction conduit and to the atmosphere. The valves are actuated by the swinging on the frame, so that the suction valve is opened when the box is at the end of its swing over the band H to raise the dough, and the suction valve is closed and the air valve opened when the box is at the end of its swing over the band D to deposit the dough. The horizontal surface of the band H is raised by a cam surface, to bring the dough into contact with the suction box. The box is swung and the belts H, D are driven from a shaft connected with the biscuit-cutting machine. To adjust the rate of travel of the belts H, D they are driven by adjustable belts passing round reversely-arranged conical rollers. A swinging frame, carrying two suction boxes at right-angles to each other and adapted to feed dough from a biscuit-cutting machine to two oven conveyers, may be used.

Granted: 1907-12-17
Abstract: 23,009. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Dalton, W. H. Oct. 17. Arc lamps.- Downward feeding of inclined or parallel electrodes is regulated by means of a slider u hung on a flexible connexion for the electrodes, and forming, with a rotatable prismatic rod which passes through a polygonal hole in the slider, a clutch device. In the inclinedcarbon lamp shown, cords ware attached to the carbonholders c, pass over pulleys x on the cover and under pulleys v on the slider u, and are secured to the central tube at y. The prismatic rod 1 is normally turned, so as to seize the slider, by a weighted bell-crank lever which engages an horizontal arm 2 on the rod. Release of the slider is effected by the bell-crank lever being rocked by a projection on a rod, which is attached to a lever pivoted to the cores of series and shunt solenoids k. A spring may be interposed between the bell-crank lever and projection. The rod carrying the projection is attached at its lower end to a frame q which bears by means of rollers upon slotted tubes b. These guide the carbons and are pivoted to a cap a. The lamp frame consists of a central tube f and a yoke 10 carrying a reflector g. To facilitate trimming, the yoke may be mounted so that it can be rotated, being locked when required by means of a device such as a spring- urged pin and a slot. A perforated plug in the lower end of the tube f serves to guide a pin s attached to the frame q. When mineralized carbons are used, a conical fume-shield 7 is attached to the reflector g and to the casing of the mechanism.

Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 9434. Mainprize, V. April 23. Cut-outs; switches.-Relates to devices wherein two fusible cut cuts are arranged so that on one blowing the other is automatically switched into circuit. In the form shown in Fig. 1, one fuse stretches from d tof, and is passed behind the pin p on the spring-pressad switch arm n. On the first fuse blowing, the spring causes the switch to make contact with the block r, thus switching in the fuse extending from e to g. The lever s, being thereby moved to the right, indicates the blowing of the first fuse. Fig. 3 shows the fuse carrier. The fuse wire w is held by screws u on the insulating- carrier, and then passes round projections v on the metallic contact-pieces t. Fig. 4 shows a modification, in which both fuses are attached to the terminal 2, which serves also as the pivot of the switch lever, one of them being also connected to the terminal, 7 after passing behind the pin 11 on the insulating-arm 3, while the other is connected to a contact-piece. On the fuse 12 blowing, the spring 4 draws the arm over and switches in the fuse 13.

Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 10,009. Goodwin, J. M. May 15, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Door opening and closing apparatus. -In a dumping vehicle the bottom is formed of centre valves 5 supporting pivoted side valves 4 which, when released, swing outwards and are retained in the position to which they swing, at a considerable distance above the discharge opening, so as not to obstruct the free escape of the load. The centre valves 5 are pivoted on a shaft 6 and are provided with brackets 7 carrying rollers resting on detents 8 of the rock-shafts 9, which are turned to dump the load. The side valves 4 are formed of a number of flanged plates bound together by an angle-bar 10 and a Z-bar 11 and are carried by arms 12 pivoted on a shaft 15. The shaft 15, Fig. 3, is mounted in the lugs 161 of U-shaped brackets 16, the webs 16<a> of which are riveted to the vehicle wall 2, and the flanges 16<b> to hanger plates 17. Keyed to the shaft 15 are two oppositely faced ratchet-wheels 18, 19, separated by an operating-arm 20 and adapted to be engaged by spring pawls 23, 21, respectively, mounted on a shaft 22. A throw-out arm 24 carrying pins 25 is placed between the pawls so that, by rocking the shaft 22 by means of a handle 27, one or other of the pawls may be lifted out of engagement with the ratchet-wheel. The arm 20 is rigidly connected to the shaft 15 and passes through a lug 29 on the back of the valve 4. In operation, when the load is to be dumped, the handle 27 is adjusted so that the pawl 21 is in engagement with the ratchet-wheel 19, the detent 8 is tripped, and the ratchet-wheel 19 rides under its pawl, which prevents the return of the valves to a vertical position. The valve is placed in the closed position by releasing the pawl 21 by the arm 24 and rotating the shaft 15. The pawl 23 then engages with the ratchet-wheel 18 and holds the valve 4 in an horizontal position until the centre valves are lifted.
