Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 28,184. Sterling Telephone and Electric Co., [Telephon Fabrik Akt.-Ges. vorm. J. Berliner]. Dec. 2. Interlocked switches.-In a switch device for telephone systems, in which a number of levers 1 are adapted to be engaged by a common locking-bar so that the operation of one lever raises the locking- bar and releases another, a lateral projection 12 upon the plate-like end of the lever is adapted to engage auxiliary contact-springs 13, 14, 15 beside the pivoted lever so as to control various circuits. The auxiliary contact-springs 13, 15 are separated by an insulating disk 16, and, in the position of rest, the spring 13 bears against the fixed contact 17 and the springs 14, 15 are in contact. When the lever 1 is operated, the projection 12 engages with the curved part of the spring 13 and presses it and the disk 16 to one side so as to break the circuit at the contacts 13, 17 and between 14, 15. Additional spring contacts may be employed according to the particular purpose which the system is to serve. When the telephone is replaced upon the holder 9, the lever 8, which is connected by a pin-and slot mechanism with the locking-bar 5, is raised so as to lift the locking-bar and release the switch levers 1.

Abstract: 4693. Fawcus, T. Feb. 24. Gear-cutting.-A hobbing-machine for cutting double helical gears comprises a rotary blanksupporting table and two hobs mounted on one slide to be fed together in the same direction, the one cutting the teeth at one side of the peripheral centre and the other at the other side thereof, the hobs being driven at different speeds to enable them to cut teeth at rcverse angles to the axis of the blank. The blank A on the rotary table 3 is driven by shafts 39, and the cutters 7, 8 on the slide 11 are driven by shafts 18 on either side of the machine gearing with a main driver 23 through differential gearing 26. A shipper rod 67 first connects the table 5 to the driver till the required depth of cut is attained, and then puts the slide feed screw 14 into gear and connects the worms 28 with the external threads 27 of the differential gear thus causing the hob 7 to rotate slightly slower and the hob 8 to rotate slightly faster than its normal, to produce the proper angularity of the teeth as the hob slide 11 is fed downwards. After the hobs 7, 8 have operated, a hob on the shaft 80 may be used to cut out the apexes of the teeth and form clearance spaces as described in Specification 29,461/10, [Class 80 (i), Gearing, Belt &c.]. The differential motion of the hobs may be produced by mounting each to be driven by a shaft 83 with a helical keyway 84 engaging the gear 85 driving the hob 82, the downward feed of the gear 85 causing an increase or retardation of its speed in accordance with the direction and pitch of the helical keyway. Change gears 88, 89 may be employed.
