Title: Improvements in and relating to Polishing Machines.
Inventor: WEIDEMANN AUGUST FRIEDRICH WIL
Filed: 1906-03-23
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 7023. Weidemann, A. F. W. July 14, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Surfacing and polishing.-Round objects, especially round metal cases, are polished in uninterrupted succession by.polishing-disks y. The work is stored in an upright tube c, held in the frame b, by screws a, the lowest object resting on the inturned arms of the spring g. A feed-device f which is oscillated along the slide b<1>, Fig. 3, by the rod l and bent lever k, Fig. 2, operated from the cam 7 on the shaft p', is pushed under the tube c and separates the arms of the spring so that one of the metal cases d falls into it. It is then moved backwards and pushes the work on to the mandrel m, which consists of several parts and can be expanded to grip the work by pushing forward the rod o. The rod o is operated from a cam q on the shaft p by a lever r. The feed-device f then retreats and the polishing-wheels y are advanced so as to come into contact with the work. As the polishing- wheels rotate at a very high speed, it is only necessary for the work to make half a revolution for the operation to be finished. The polishing- wheels then retreat and the rod o is withdrawn so as to loosen the work on the mandrel. A sleeve 14 operated by a spring 13 is then allowed to act on the work and push it off the mandrel into a receptacle. A wiper z on the shaft p<1> controls the action of the sleeve. By the time the cycle of operations is finished, the feeding-device is ready to place another metal case on the mandrel. The mandrel is driven from a separate machine or other source of power or from the shaft p by bavelgearing 20 and if necessary by chain gearing 21, 22. The shafts p, p<1> are driven from a cross-shaft 16 by worm gearing. The polishing-disks are mounted on spindles w in bearings v, which are made to approach one another at the correct instant by cams x on the shafts p, p<1>. The position of the cams x on the shafts can be varied by the screw 19, which works through frames 18 which slide on parallel guide-rods u and engage at each end with one of the cams. The polishing-disks may also be made to reciprocate in the direction of their axes.

Abstract: 13,102. Dawson, A. T., and Buckham, G. T. June 6. Sights.-Relates to devices for correcting for variations in the muzzlevelocity and in the temperature of the charges. The range-dial A, Fig. 1, has a radially-moving pointer B, of the kind described in Specification No. 16,767, A.D. 1904. The pointer is adapted to be angularly displaced, to correct for the above variations, by a toothed sector d<2> gearing with a vertical rack d, hinged to a slotted lever D, which is pivoted at E to a bracket F. A roller D' on the end of the lever D is pressed by a spring D<2> against the cam C, which receives its motion from the dial A through the toothed gears a<1>, a<2>, a<3>. The pivot bolt E passes through a sliding block e, Fig. 4, having a pointer e<2>reading against a temperature-correction scale f and it is also adjuetable with respect to a second slide ex having a pointer e<1> reading against a scale f<1> graduated for decreases in the muzzle-velocity. To set the apparatus, the pointer e<1> is adjusted to the appropriate graduation of the scale f<1>; the block e and pivot bolt E are then moved to the right or left with respect to the slide ex until the pointer e<3> has been displaced through the number of divisions of the scale f<2> which corresponds to the variation of the temperature of the charge from the normal. The apparatus will then make the desired corrections automatically when the sight is elevated for range. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, a longitudinal cam-bar C is rotated by gearing a, a<4>, a<6>, a<7> and actuates the lever D, which turns about a fixed pivot E through the adjustable roller D'. The lever D has a series of horizontal temperature scales, each of which corresponds to a particular muzzle-velocity. The apparatus is set by adjusting the slider e, which carries the roller D', to the appropriate temperature graduation on the scale which corresponds to the particular muzzle-velocity.

Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 363. Sutcliffe, R. Jan. 7. Making wire fabrics.- In the manufacture of wire belting for conveyers &c. formed of interlocked spirals or coils of wire, the section of the coils being in some cases altered to an ellipse, the coils are formed on a mandrel, which is attached to a rotating and traversing shaft ; and to increase the output of the machine, a mandrel may be arranged on each end of the shaft, more than one coil maybe formed by each mandrel, and other mandrels may be added so as to receive their motion from the shaft. When a coil is completed, it is cut and pushed forward in position to be interlocked with the previously formed coil, which is done by twisting it so as to work it in. A shaft a, Figs. 2 and 11, rotates in bearings, and is traversed by the engagement of a screw-threaded portion with a fixed nut d. The shaft is slotted at e for pins g on sleeves f<1>, f<2>, which are capable only of rotation, and transmit such rotation to the shaft. Open and crossed belts, respectively, drive pulleys h, k, forced apart from the sleeves f<1>, f<2> by spiral springs, and forced toward the sleeves so that catch pins i, j engage, by hand-levers n, n<1> attached to collars. The collars carry pins o, o<1> working in fixed cam-slots, and are thrust sideways to force the corresponding pulley into engagement with the sleeve. The wire passes through a notched guide-plate to a longitudinal slot in one end of the mandrel, or to a diametral slot at the other end. When a coil 4<a> is completed, the traverse of the shaft is stopped by the engagement of a cam t on the shaft with one of two levers r, s pivoted respectively on shafts q, q<1>. One of the shafts surrounds the other, and corresponding levers u, u<1> on the shafts are attached by links v, v<1> to the hand-levers n, n'. The shaft is started again in the opposite direction by means of one of the hand-levers. A table fed forward by linkage, ratchet-and-pawl, and rack-and-pinion gearing, supports the wire-fabric belt, and each coil, as it is completed, is pushed forward so that its front end is caught between three rubber rollers, two of which are rotated to revolve and twist the coil so as to interlace it with the previously-formed coil of the belt.

Abstract: 8619. Zedlitz, F. April 18. Testing strength and elasticity of materials.-An apparatus for testing the textile strength and ductility of threads, wires, strips, &c. is shown in Fig. 1 as applied to testing threads. The thread from the cop 26 is passed through a gripping-device 29 and fastened to a swinging arm 6 pivoted on one end of a counterweighted lever 13, which is mounted on a knife-edge 3 and carries at its other end a slidable weight 10 and a fine adjustment 12. A graduated liquid receiver 5 is suspended from the thread-connecting end of the lever, and the receiver is adapted to receive liquid from a pipe 23 connected to a reservoir 20. An auxiliary lever 13, Fig. 2, is also mounted on the knife-edge, and carries at the thread end a pawl 19 normally kept out of engagement with a ratchet plate 17 by the swinging arm 6. The other end of the auxiliary lever carries an arm 38, which normally keeps a pawl 37 on the main lever disengaged from the ratchet plate 34. In operation, liquid flows into the receiver and stretches the thread until it breaks. When this occurs, the main lever drops abruptly and the swinging arm falls and releases the pawl 19 of the auxiliary lever so that the pawl engages with the ratchet plate 17 and supports the lever, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the pointer 16 indicates the extension of the thread. The pawl 37 at the opposite end of the main lever is simultaneously freed from its stop and engages with the ratchet plate 34, which by a pin-and-slot device 36 is moved upwards sufficiently to cause the bell-crank lever 40 and catch-arm 41 to turn a cam 33 to release the valve 24, which closes and shuts off the liquid supply. The levers may be replaced by disks or other mechanical equivalents.
