A method of making a self-tapping screw having a round shank portion and a tapered lobular thread-forming portion comprises inserting a blank having a round shank portion between a pair of threading discs. and rolling the blank to generate a continuous helical thread on the blank having circular pitch diameter crosssections on the shank portion and lobular arcuate polygonal pitch diameter cross-sections on the end portion. A disc 50, which is one of a pair between which a blank is rolled, has generally flat portions 54 and 61-63 and an inclined portion 56 (Fig. 14, not shown) for rolling the end of the blank. Portions 57 and 58 of the die are relieved, and the die is suitable for blanks having a preformed lobular end portion. For rolling blanks having circular section end portions, dies are provided having a longitudinal section of the inclined portions as indicated in Fig. 10 (not shown), the depressions in the die causing lobes to be formed on the blank. A blank for the screw of Fig. 1 (not shown), for example, is formed from bar stock which is cold headed and extruded to form a lobular end portion. Rotary or planetary thread rolling dies may replace the reciprocating generally flat ones.

Abstract: 431,737. Vehicle spring-suspensions; steering arrangements. PALMER, G. M., 53, Hallowell Road, Northwood, Middlesex. May 16, 1934, No. 14829. [Class 108 (ii)] [See also Group XXXI] In vehicle independent wheel spring-suspensions for steerable road wheels the stub axle or the like is carried by two members, one serving solely to control the plane of rotation of the wheel for steering purposes and the other solely for transmitting the load. The wheel hub or stub axle comprises a sleeve 12 integral with a rearwardly-directed arm 15 pivoted to an arm 18 mounted on the steering pivot 19 through a pin 16 and shock absorber 22. The arm 18 is carried by the steering pin mounted on the axle 23. The arm 15 is free to move in a vertical plane and therefore does not transmit load to the axle but controls the plane of rotation of the wheel. The load is transmitted from the axle 23 to the wheel by means of a spring 24 and an arm 27 which is jointed to the end of the spring and to a fixed plate 30 of the wheel, slight angular adjustment being permitted by the sleeve 29 in the fixed plate 30. The arm 18 is controlled by the crank 20 and rod 21 while the usual track rod 32 is provided. In another arrangement the load is transmitted from the axle 23, Fig. 3 through a torsion spring housed in tube 44 to arms 42, 43 which are universally jointed to a bracket 34 secured to the fixed back plate 30 of the wheel 10. The bracket 32 is pivoted at 35 to arms 36 pivotally mounted on a pin 39 carried by the steering arm 40 which is mounted on the steering pin 19 carried by the axle 23.

A cam-milling machine comprises a support 2 carrying a milling cutter 1 movable normal to the surface of a rotary workpiece 7, a shaft at right-angles to the cutter movement carrying an eccentrically-mounted disc or roller 12 and geared to the work-spindle through an adjustable gear system 11, and an intermediate member having surfaces engaging the roller and the cutter support, the member being freely movable in the direction of movement of the cutter support and being coupled to the shaft for transverse movement, and the surfaces being inclined to one another to modify the movement due to the eccentric roller. The workhead 10 can be swivelled through 90 degrees for producing face cams. The work 7 is rotated by an electric motor which also rotates the roller 12, through the gearing 11. The eccentricity of the roller 12 can be adjusted by a screw 13. The intermediate member comprises a plate 14 resting on the roller 12 and guided by projections 34 on a block 15 traversed by a gear 19 along a guideway 17, the plate carrying an angularly-adjustable plate 21 upon which bears a follower 25 attached to the cutter support. Tilting of the plate 14 is prevented by linkage 27. The follower 25 can be withdrawn and the support 2 locked when it is desired to adjust the plate 21 or the eccentric roller 12. The gearing 11 contains a clutch to enable a dwell to be formed on the cam. The curves produced are of sine-acceleration form, but may be modified by making the surfaces of the members 21 and 14 non- rectilinear. Specification 900,469 is referred to.

A method of embossing a fabric made mainly from thermoplastic fibres comprises superimposing under pressure the fabric to be embossed and a pattern fabric made from a hard yarn and subjecting the fabric assembly to a steaming operation. Fabrics woven, knitted or laced from cellulose triacetate, cellulose diacetate, polyethylene terephthalate or nylon yarns or yarns composed of any of the acrylic fibres may be subjected to the process. The pattern fabric may be woven, knitted or laced from hard twisted multifilament yarns or hard monofilament yarns such as nylon 66, nylon 6 or polyethylene terephthalate. The embossing may be effected on both sides of the fabric by sandwiching it between two layers of the pattern fabric. The fabric assembly and a backing fabric are wound under pressure round a perforated roller, steamed and then dried while still on the roller.
