Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 21,309. Curtis, C. G. Oct. 3, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Slotting; planing and shaping. -Relates to improvements in the type of machine described in Specification No. 6618, A,D. 1902, for cutting curved slots across the peripheral surface of turbine or other discs, rings, or segments. The work is clamped to an index-plate vertically adjustable on a bracket 3 on the bed 2, and is held in the indexed position by a clamp 6. The bracket and clamp are connected by a rod 7, and are advanced after each cut by the intermittent rotation of a screw 9. The cutting-tool 10 is held in a spindle 11, Fig. 4, eccentrically mounted in a sleeve 12 which is eccentrically mounted in a barrel 13 rotated in bearings 14 by gearing 15 from a pulley 16. The sleeve 12 is connected to a plate 20 on the barrel by links 19, Fig. 6, a roller 21 on one of the links engaging a stationary cam-track 22 so that the sleeve is turned in the barrel during the rotation of the tool to produce the "orbital" movement of the tool described in the prior Specification. The plate 20 is connected by a similar arrangement to a block 26 feathered on the tool spindle so that the tool is maintained normal to the cut. The tool is withdrawn during the idle portion of its movement by a link 33 connected by ball joints to a block 31 on the spindle, and to an arm 32 on a shaft 34 rocked by a cam 36 on a shaft driven from the pulley 16. The cam returns the spindle to the cutting position, the spindle being then held longitudinally by a guide-plate 38 on it passing between plates 39, 40 on a stationary frame 41, the separation of the plates 39, 40 being adjusted by wedges, the plate 38 engaging the plates 39, 40 only during the cutting movement. The block 26 is held against longitudinal movement by engagement with the plate 20.
Patent GB-190322249-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Meters or Registering Devices.
Inventor: BEAL ALBERT REYNOLDS
Filed: 1903-10-15
Granted: 1904-01-21
Abstract: 22,249. Beal, A. R. Oct. 16, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Counting-apparatus.-In gas meters, liquid meters, and like devices, counting and registering apparatus, which can be correctly and easily read by the unskilled, comprises gearing, of which the wheels 13, 12, 10 are driven by a pinion 7 on the first spindle 6, which is actuated by the fluid or material to be measured. In the gas-meter apparatus shown, each rotation of the spindle 6 indicates on the dial 9 the flow of two feet of gas. The spindle 14 of the wheel 13 carries a fixed pinion 15 and a loose wheel 16, which can turn relatively to the spindle 14 to an extent determined by the length of the slot 18 in the wheel 13 with which a pin on the wheel 16 engages. The wheel 16 has a smooth periphery with the exception of one tooth, and forms together with the wheel 19 a Geneva gear. The wheel 19 is connected to a wheel 21, loose on the spindle 20, by, preferably, two coiled springs 39, 40. As the pinion 15 actuates the loose wheel 21, the springs 39, 40 are extended, the wheel 19 being locked by the smooth periphery of the wheel 16 until its single tooth meshes with the wheel 19, which is then released, and moves forwards one-tenth of a rotation with a snap action due to the extended springs 39, 40. The wheel 22, having a smooth periphery excepting five teeth, mounted on the spindle 20, is thus moved forwards with a snap action, the motion being imparted through the gearing to each of the numbering-wheels. The pinions 23, 29 are locked by the smooth peripheries of the numbering-wheels 22, 27 when not being actuated by the teeth thereon. Should the springs 39, 40 break, the wheel 16 would positively drive the wheel 19. and the operation of the register would continue as before, except that there would be no snap action. The wheel 16 may be turned backwards without damaging the gearing. The dials 36, 37, 38 may be dispensed with, and the arrangement 33, 34, 35 for showing the characters on the numbering-wheels may be varied.

Patent GB-190406528-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Coin-controlled Vending Machines.
Inventor: HOFHEIMER MAURICE
Filed: 1904-03-17
Granted: 1904-09-08
Abstract: 6528. Hofheimer, M. March 17. Sale apparatus ; casings; storage.- Upright boards, at the bottom of a glazed case 3 on a base 2, carry a casting 5 which forms at the back a raised shelf, three parts enclosed by a sloping wall 12 and upright wings 10. The shelf supports two columns of packages of goods 6 in tubes or open compartments 7, which have side staples 9 fitting over the upright wings, and are held to the thickened centre of the wall by a bolt 8 passing through a cross-piece 11. The money drawer 21 fits between the casting 5 and runners 22 on the upright boards, and is secured in place by a latch 23. Actuating-mechanism; coin action.-An ejector 13 on a plunger 16 is provided for each column of packages, and a coin guided into it by the sloping wall 12 is supported by a tooth 15 so as to catch the bottom package when the ejector is operated. Thus the package is thrust off the shelf and drops into the space below the casting. Coin-discharging mechanism.-The coin, having lost the support afforded by the package, drops laterally into the money drawer. Money shoots.-In a front plate 24 a hole 26 of the exact size of the coin admits it to a short #-shaped passage 27 which delivers it behind a lip 44 to a fraud-preventing device. A notch in the edge of the hole enables any coin which jams therein to be picked out, and the shoot being wider inwards affords an easy passage to the coin admitted. Fraud, preventing.-Between the coin shoot and the delivery slide is a trunnioned tray 1 which can be tipped up into the position shown in dotted lines by arms 35 on the plunger. In slipping down the tray, a coin of deficient diameter drops through an aperture into the money drawer. An overlying finger 45 having a lug 47 and a tooth 48 arrests a thin coin, a non-resilient disc, or a washer, the latter being impeded by striking a pin 50. The coins of ample diameter and right thickness also strike the pin 50 and make a sidewise movement where the flanged edge of the tray has a step. The distance between the flange and the pin forms a second gauge for the diameter of the coin so that an overlarge one is arrested. A washer may however be caught by a pin 51 in front of the finger. When the tray is tipped, the arrested coin or substitute drops off to a discharge shoot 59. Iron discs are attracted by a magnet 55, and drop off it into the money drawer.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Steam Turbines.
Inventor: DUNLOP JOHN GIBB
Filed: 1905-01-14
Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 750. Dunlop, J. G., and Bell, T. Jan. 14. Elastic-fluid turbines.-To prevent the axes of the casing or stationary part and the shaft of the rotating part of Parson's or other turbines from getting out of alinement due to expansion of the parts caused by heat, the frame E, Fig. 3, is provided with two symmetrically-arranged radial faces D to carry corresponding faces C on brackets B formed on the casing. The shaft K of the rotor is carried in bearings in a bracket H which is not subject to heating by the motive fluid, and normally the axis of the casing A is coincident with that of the shaft ; when the casing is heated, expansion would raise its axis out of alinement if the casing were fixed on ordinary supports, but, in the construction shown, the distance between the planes C increases sufficiently to counteract this movement by allowing the casing to fall as the planes C move radially over the planes D. Lateral play is prevented by a feather J, Figs. 1 and 3, engaging grooves formed in pieces F, G attached respectively to the casing and frame. The faces C, D may be horizontal, or above the axis, provided they are radial.

Abstract: 5136. Logan, J., and Landon, J. M. March 11. Paper tubes.-Relates to machines for making paper tubes, in which the mandrels have a constant motion of rotation as well as a periodic progressive movement. Fig. 1 is a front elevation, and Fig. 2 a side elevation uf one form of machine, and Fig. 6 is a front elevation of a modified machine. A main axle b, Figs. 1 and 2, carries a hollow axle v with driving-wheel w and large spur-wheel u, the spur-wheel rotating all the mandrels p through pinions r. Outside the hollow axle v is another hollow axle o' carrying two plates n, o, in which are mounted the mandrels p. The outer hollow axle o<1> receives a periodic rotary movement from a pawl k and pivoted levers f, h, i, operated by an eccentric pin e attached to a disk d on the main axle. A sheet of paper, pasted on one or both sides, is partly folded round one of the revolving mandrels by hand, and carried forward on the next periodic movement beneath an adjustably-mounted steam-beated chamber z, where the rolling is completed and the tube is pressed and partly dried. A heavy roller 5 is used to assist in the rolling. In a the modified machine shown in Fig. 6, the main axle 18, carrying spur-wheels 14, 17 on sleeves 11, 15 which are driven from two pulleys 37, 38, receives its periodic forward movement from ratchet gearing 29, 30, which is operated from an eccentric 35. A band - brake is used in both machines to prevent the mandrels from moving when the pawl is inoperative. The mandrels are loosely mounted within six disks, of which two 19, 20 are keyed to the main axle 18, and the others 13, 22, 23, 24 are loose upon the axle 18. In order to discharge the tubes when the mandrel reaches the back of the machine, a construction of the following type is used. Two pivoted rods 46, moved by eccentrics 44 and bevel-gear 42, 43 from a shaft 36 in the lower frame of the machine, engage with grooves in sheaths 28 attached to the mandrels and cause them to separate in the middle 26 and then come together again.
