Title: Improvements in Automatic Lathes.
Inventor: BALL CHARLES PERRY
Filed: 1898-02-01
Granted: 1898-12-31
Abstract: 2566. Ball, C. P., and Gowdy, W. Feb. 1. Lathes.-Relates to automatic lathes which produce a series of articles from a long rod fed into the hollow spindle B. The spindle is fitted with the usual gripping and feeding devices operated by slides Q, T, actuated by cams on a drum U mounted on the shaft C<1>. The cam shaft C<1>, instead of being driven by an independent belt pulley, is driven from the spindle B by the worm gearing D, D<1>, shaft E<1>, spur gearing F', G, and bevel gearing H<1>, K<15>. The worm-wheel is provided with a reservoir z, covered by a plate J', from which oil can run through passages to the teeth of the wheel and to the worm. An oil cup for filling the reservoir is screwed into the plate J<1> at f. The shaping-tool B" and cutting-off tool C" are mounted in holders secured to a carriage P<1>, operated by levers K<1>, L<1> and cams N<1>, O<1> on a disc M' on the shaft C<1>. The lever L<1> bears against the boss i<1>, and the lever K<1> against the screw Q<1> for adjusting the travel of the tool B", the screw Q<1> being clamped in position by a side screw and plug. To prevent the carriage and tool B<11> from advancing too far, an inclined piece on the end of a screw R<1> in the carriage comes in contact with an incline cut in a pin S' inserted in the bed. The pin S<1> is adjustable vertically, to vary the travel of the carriage, by a screw X', a collar on which engages a groove in the pin. An oppositely-inclined surface is formed at another part of the circumference of the pin, which, acting in conjunction with the incline on the screw R<1>, gives another range of adjustments for the travel of the carriage. The lever K<1> may be fitted with a flat spring which would yield when the travel of the carriage P' is stopped before the lever has finished its stroke. The spring is fixed to and surrounds the lower arm of the lever, its position being regulated by a screw.and the contraction of the spring indicated by a pivoted pointer moving over a scale on the lever. Instead of a spring lever, the cam N' may be pressed in its place on the disc M' by an elliptical spring adjusted by a right and left hand screw, threaded through the spring and into the shaft C', the spring being pressed by the screw against two studs on the disc M<1> on each side of the screw. The tool B" is cylindrical, and its cylindrical shank is clamped in the holder D" by a vertical screw fitting in the slots j<1> in the carriage P' and forcing a shaped sleeve down on the shank. The holder D<11> can be swivelled on the plate E<11> about the axis of the tool-clamping bolt by a short worm fitting in a recess in the holder and engaging threads formed in a curved groove in the upper surface of the plate E<11>. The work is supported by a steady rest consisting of two square bars M", N" with V-shaped ends held in a block L" adjustably clamped on rods J", K<11> secured to the frame. The bars M", N<11 >are adjusted by screws having collars engaging grooves in the bars.

Title: Mechanism for Changing the Note Discs in Mechanical Musical Instruments.
Inventor: RIESSNER ERNST PAUL
Filed: 1899-05-27
Granted: 1899-07-22
Abstract: 11,096. Riessner, E. P. May 27. Musical boxes.-The invention relates to means for changing the tune-sheets N, which are carried loosely on a spindle A capable of sliding longitudinally in the framing of the instrument, and prevented from turning by a feather B. The feather has inscribed upon it the names of the tunes. The spindle A carries a frame S, which encloses the tune-sheets, distance-pieces F being placed between them, and both frame and tunesheets are cut away, to enable the vibrating tongues E and the mechanism immediately connected with them to pass through the tune-sheets, and thus to reach them all in turn. The removal of a part of each tune-sheet also ensures that it always attains the same position under the influence of gravity. The lateral shifting of the tune-sheets, which motion is opposed by a spring t, is effected by a lever J operated by a stepped cam h. This cam is moved by gearing, part of which consists of a toothed segment d, and is thus driven a sufficient distance to change the tune at each revolution of the wheel f. This wheel is operated from the main-spring barrel by a shaft c, which can be pulled out so as to disconnect the gearing when it is desired to change the tune-sheets by hand. As a preliminary to shifting the tune - sheet, the presser-bar L is moved out of the way by a cam, and is subsequently moved back again. The edges of the tune-sheets are toothed, and they are driven by a wheel M, which is lifted by a cam during the operation of changing. In a modification, the tune-sheets are carried in a box which can be moved by a lever J as before, or by hand. In this case, the spindle A rotates and drives the tune-sheet by means of feathers made to engage with the one required.
