Abstract: 14,568. M÷schet, W. July 9. Making tags for laces.-In a machine for securing tags to laces, the laces are carried edgeways by an intermittently moving conveyer ; two metal tags are cut off from a strip, and are bent and pierced and pushed on to the lace, which is then turned horizontally and cut, the tags being subsequently bent round the laces in two operations. A guide-rod is provided, down which the finished laces run, and means are provided to stop the machine if the lace or tag-strips break or run out. The conveyer 16, Figs. 1, 4, and 5, which is intermittently driven by mutilated gearing, carries a number of jaws a, b normally spring-pressed to engage the lace 20 ; projections 21 on these jaws engage the sides of the wheels 15 and so release the grip. The tag strips 23, Fig. 9, are fed by a pivoted gripper 26 moved by a cam-operated bell-crank lever 27 ; a camoperated slide carrying perforating punches 41 then moves forwards and carries with it a slide 38 carrying a shear-blade 40 and die 39, which coact with a stationary die 33 and shear-blade 32 to cut off, bend, and pierce a tag'blank,. whichthen falls in an inclined position within the die 39.. The blanks are then pushed by cam-operated rods- 42, Fig. 1, into position to be pressed on to the lace. The lace is turned horizontal by clamps a. These consist of fingers 50, 51,. Fig. 13; connected by rack and pinion, and pressed Logether by a spring, a cam 55 normally holding them apart. The whole is carried in a segmental pinion 57 engaged by a camoperated rack 59, and the cam frees the fingers 50, 51 directly the pinion rotates. The cutting of the lace is effected by a knife 69, Fig. 12, and the closing of the tags round' the lace is performed by dies 84, 77, actuated by a cam 85. The closing is effected in two operations, the lace being given a partial turn between them. The free end of lace hanging over the end of the wheel 15, Fig. 1, is held by a pivoted slanting rod, and, as the other end drops from the machine, the finished lace drops on to this rod and slides doww it. The stopmotion is controlled by stirrups which hang: over the lace and the tag strips ; when either breaks or gives out, these stirrups drop and allow a lever to come into action with the driving-clutch and throw it out.

Title: An Improved Portable Drill.
Inventor: PEALING JOHN ALFRED LAWRENCE
IPC: B23B47/06
Filed: 1909-05-19
Granted: 1910-07-19
Abstract: 11,858. Pealing, J. A. L. May 19. [Addition to 24,733/08.] Drilling-machines.-In a portable electric drill of the type described in the parent Specification having holding-on electro-magnets a, a<1>, Fig. 1, and an electromotor b, the same coils serving for the motor and for the magnets, the connexion between the core of the magnet a' and the other magnetic parts of the apparatus is weakened, and the feed sleeve is surrounded by a coil o, the magnetic parts in the neighbourhood of the coil being strengthened to concentrate the flux at this part. The feedsleeve j is screw-threaded and surrounded by a screw-threaded sleeve n capable of rotation only. A hand-wheel m is mounted on the sleeve n and is provided with a non-magnetic cover r, a magnetic centre part p, and pole-pieces q, Fig. 7. Recesses t in the part p serve as air gaps, which, by adjusting the part p relatively to the pole-pieces, vary the reluctance of the magnetic circuit. The wheel m rotates with the feed-sleeve and receives a braking action where the field from the coil o is most concentrated, the surrounding casing being suitably thickened at the two sides for this purpose as shown in Fig. 1. A switch for the coils consists of a shaft z, Fig. 4, operated by a handle and bevel gearing, a circular weakened pole-piece for a blowout flux and contacts w, x, y. The contact x is connected with the supply and occupies a large part of a circle, so that a slit contacting member w is always in contact with it. Insulated contacts y form the rest of the circle. The ordinary drilling- feed may be thrown out of action by cutting off current, and a hand-wheel on the spindle f is then operated to bring the tap into engagement with the hole. A pin g limiting the motion of the drill is also withdrawn and turned slightly so that a projection on it moves along a bayonet slot in the support 7.

Abstract: 13,509. Wilson, E., and Wilson, W. H. June 9. [Cognate Application, 28,699/09.] Transformers of which the coils are wound of metal strip 5, Fig. 1, in the form of flat spirals, have the spirals connected by flat strips 6, the planes of which are parallel to the planes of the spirals. Wire, preferably of aluminium, is rolled flat between rollers 8, Fig. 3, and passed through an insulating-bath 9, in which it is covered mechanically with enamel &c., or electrolytically with oxide. It then passes through a drying-chamber 10, and is wound on to a clock-driven spindle between cheeks 13 until a complete spiral is formed. The upper cheek is then removed, and the strip twisted and bent so as to pass radially inwards in a plane parallel to the plane of the spiral. It is then bent away from the spiral and further twisted so as to be ready for winding up into a second spiral. The core of the coil is made of flattened iron wires wound around a grooved pulley and bound round by clamping- pieces passed through cross grooves in the pulley. The finished ring of wire is then cut through on the ends of a diameter for example, and the flat edges of the resulting sections placed together and bound up to form a cylindrical core. The insulating cover for the coil is made of a cylinder with an annular groove 22, Fig. 7, turned out around a central hole. The cylinder screws into a central partition 24, which also receives a tube 19 fitting in the central hole of the cylinder. A similar cylinder and tube are screwed to the opposite side of the flange, the parts of both being thicker in the regions of greater electrical stress. The ends of the coils are connected to leads, each of which is embedded in an extension 27 of a cylinder, the extension being either integral with or screwed into it.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Friction Gearing.
Inventor: ALQUIST KARL
IPC: F16H13/12
Filed: 1909-08-07
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 18,222. Alquist, K.. Aug. 7. Friction gearing.-In friction gearing combined. with magnetic means for effecting the necessary pressure between the driving and driven elements, the magnetic field is produced by exciter coils arranged between the cylinders between which the pull is acting, such cylinders being either the drive elements themselves or separate masses. A closelyfitting magnetic conductor or core may be arranged between the coil and the cylindrical parts to diminish the air resistance. As shown in Fig. 3, the driving and driven elements a, b are provided with a coil e arranged around their line of contact, a core f filling the adjacent space so as to leave only a small air-gap. The circuit is completed by means of a second pair of driving and driven elements upon the same shafts, with or without a similar exciter coil. The coil or coils may be arranged between cylinders g not in contact, as shown in Fig. 5, in which the driving-elements a, c are small and need not form part of the magnetic circuit. By the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, a complete magnetic circuit may be obtained with one pair of cylinders. Arrangements embodying several magnetic circuits in parallel may be used, or the magnetic flow may pass through a single coil and pair of cylinders, of the kind shown in Fig. 5, and be divided between driving-elements as a, b, c, d on either side. The cylinders &c. may be laminated, and provided with air ducts for cooling purposes. Other arrangements of shafting with similar magnetic devices are described, in which the driving-shaft may be placed between a pair of driven shafts, or several independent driving-shafts may be arranged around a single driven shaft, or the driving and driven shafts may be co-axial and connected by countershafts between which the magnetic device is arranged. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 10, two independent driving-shafts a, c each consist of several sections connected together by flexible couplings and having separate bearings. Thrust bearings may be provided, or the bearing supports may be so arranged, for instance, on inclined planes, that an axial movement may tilt the shaft whereby it is automatically returned to its correct position. Several sections as described with reference to Fig. 10 may be slightly tilted so as to tend to move axially in opposite directions, only a small thrust bearing being then required. The friction elements may be provided with flexible peripheries by forming them of tbin cylinders fitting inside annular flanges formed on end disks. The invention is also applicable to V-grooved gearing members, and to conical or bevel gearing.
