Filed: 1920-07-27
Abstract: 149,630. Barth, C. July 31, 1919, [Convention date]. Gear-cutting.-In planing spur or helical wheels B with a multiple-tooth tool A of the rack type, the wheel and tool are first moved in proper relation to each other in the direction of the arrows a, b, Fig. 1, during the cutting operation. They are then returned at quick speed as indicated by arrows c, d, Fig. 2, during one return stroke of the cutter slide, while remaining in rolling contact until in the position shown in Fig. 3. The tool is resiliently mounted to prevent injury due to the effects of backlash. One part, in this case the wheel B, is then moved forward through a distance corresponding to one or more exact multiples of a pitch space while the other member, in this case the tool A, is stationary, and the parts are then in the position shown in Fig. 4. They are then moved together in proper relation for the next cutting operation. In some cases a backward movement slightly in excess of a pitch length is given to both parts, and in such cases a small combined movement, corresponding in amount to the excess backward movement will take place to eliminate backlash. All portions of the forward and retiring motions, except when cutting is actually taking place, may be at quick speed.

Patent GB-229302-A (GB)
Abstract: 229,302. Schubode, A., and Hannovera Rechenmaschinenfabrik Oventrop, Heutelbech, & Co. Feb. 11, 1924, [Convention date]. Adding and subtracting arpparatus with operating-means; transfer mechanism.-Transfer is effected, while the totalizer 6 is disengaged from the actuating-mechanism, by means of a reciprocated toothed lever 31 pivoted at 32 through a member 28 capable of displacement in two directions. In the machine shown, the item is set by differentially positioning a toothed and circularly slotted member 3. A pivotal arm 11 having a lateral tooth 11<xx> is then engaged with the member by the lateral sliding of a comb X, after which a yoke 18 is rocked up and down to enter the item in the totalizer now in engagement with the member 3. The totalizer is invariably thrown into engagement for the second third of a rotation of the main shaft, and whether the item set is added or subtracted depends upon the direction of rotation. At transfer a pin 6<111> on the lower wheel displaces an arm 23 towards the rear, where it is temporarily retained by a positioning spring 25. Consequently in the last third of the revolution, the counter meanwhile being disengaged from the actuating mechanism, a pin 43 or 44 comes into contact with and tilts upwardly or downwardly a lever 28 pivoted to the arm 23 at 26 and connected by a pin and slot 30, 31<1> with the transfer lever 31. Consequently the latter is shifted up or down to effect transfer to the next higher wheel. The arm 23 is restored to normal position by a cam nose 37 which in the position of rest, as shown, urges the arm 23 forward in readiness for the next actuation, but the remaining parts are not returned until the next succeeding actuation of the totalizer, whereupon cams 39, 42 return the lever 31 to its normal or mid position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to power assisted steering mechanism for mechanically propelled vehicles
IPC: B62D5/06
Filed: 1955-08-11
Abstract: 847,213. Vehicle power steering. BISHOP, R., and JOHNSTON, R. H. Aug. 10, 1956 [Aug. 11, 1955], No. 23236/55. Class 79(5). In a power assisted steering mechanism having a fluid pressure operated piston and cylinder servomotor acting in association with a manually operable steering gear the steering shaft comprises parts 1, 2 capable of limited, relative rotary motion, the shaft parts carrying elements, a helical slot formed in each element, the slots 38, 40 being oppositely inclined and engaging a pin 42, whereby the relative rotary motion causes rotary and axial movement of the pin 42 relative to the steering shaft and consequential axial displacement relative to the steering shaft of means engaged by the pin 42 for controlling the supply and exhaust of the pressure fluid. As shown the element secured to the part 1 by a nut 15 comprises concentric sleeves 10, 12 interconnected by a radial wall 11. The sleeve 12 has tongues 13, 14 projecting through slots 22, 23 in a radial wall 20 interconnecting concentric sleeves 19, 21 forming the element secured to the shaft part 2 by a nut 24, a rubber sleeve 45a or a helical spring urging the walls 12, 20 apart. Tongues 26, 27 on the sleeve 21 and the tongues 13, 14 are engaged by springs 30, 31 carried by pegs 28, 29 on the wall 20. The slots 38, 40 are formed in each side on the sleeves 12, 21 and the pins 42 are carried by a sleeve 44 having circumferential flanges 46, 47. An extension 51 on each leg of a V-shaped member 52 engages the flanges 46, 47, and the member 52 is pivoted at 50 to a casing 6 and is connected at 53 to the movable member of a valve 54 controlling power assistance to the steering. In operation manual rotation of the shaft part 1 causes by means of the lost motion between the tongues 13, 14 in the slots 22, 23 against the action of the springs 30, 31 movement of the sleeve 44 due to the pin and slot connections 38, 40, 42. The axial part of the movement of the sleeve 44 is transmitted through the member 52 to operate the valve 54. In the event of hydraulic failure manual steering is maintained by taking up the lost motion between the fingers 13, 14 and the slots 22, 23 or by the slots 38, 40 being closed at both ends. Specifications 745,202 and 779,647 are referred to.
