Abstract: 1641. Altenhoff, E. Jan. 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Percussive drills.-In a percussive boring-machine of the kind in which an automatic feed is obtained by means of clamping-devices which are operated by the reactions on the cylinder so as to grip the guide-rail or release it, according to the direction in which the machine tends to move, the clamping-device comprises a ring embracing the guide-rail at an angle. The clamping-ring o is fixed or pivoted to the drill casing c or the forward slipper d, and prevents rearward motion by engagement of the edges p, q with the guide-rail e. In another form, the ring o is connected to the machine by a pin and an inclined slot, the pin engaging opposite sides of the slot in turn and so tilting the ring to engage or release the guide-rail. The guiderail e is fixed to the rock by wedges f secured to the rail by chains. To apply the device to existing drills, forks t, u, Fig. 3, are provided, these forks engaging the side bolts v and carrying the rings o and slippers d.

Abstract: 11,576. Austin Motor Co., and Austin, H. May 13. Compression-spoke wheels; hubs.-A wheel is formed from a number of sheet-metal segments which have the adjacent edges welded or brazed together or to diaphragms which separate the segments. Each segment is formed from a sheet-metal blank B which is of sufficient size and shape to form a portion of the felloe A, halves of two adjacent spokes A' and a portion of the nave A<2>. The blank is bent roughly to shape by hand and then placed on a fixed die F, the final shaping being caused by moving dies G, H, J, as shown in Fig. 6, the die portions being of such cross-section as to give the material a finished shape. The die F is made in two parts, so that, after the shaping operation, the top portion may be removed to allow of removal of the finished work. The nave is finished by riveting a ring d made in two halves round it, a liner a<5> being employed if necessary, and a rim C is secured on to finish the outer circumference, all the parts being subsequently welded together. Diaphragms a<3>, a<4> may be employed to strengthen the joints and these diaphragms may be bulged on alternate sides if desired. The section of rim shown is that shown also in Specification 9580/11, [Class 144 (ii), Wheel tyres &c.].
