Patent GB-191124750-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Turning Machines for use more especially in Turning or "Finishing" Cast Metal Hollow-ware.
IPC: B23B5/14
Filed: 1911-11-07
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 24,750. Holcroft & Sons, T., and Holcroft, A. Nov. 7. Lathes.-An automatic machine for turning shaped articles such as cast metal hollow-ware has the tool mounted on slides capable of motion in two directions under the action of shaped cams. The tool k is carried by a holder K mounted on slides N', N adjustable on each other and carried by a slide D capable of longitudinal reciprocation, which in turn is mounted on a slide C capable of transverse reciprocation. The slide D is actuated, by a cam F, which is rotatably mounted in the slide C and is rotated by worm gearing h, h<4> actuated through bevelgearing from a shaft G, the pinion h being splined to the shaft H to allow the cross motion of the slide, and the slide being kept up to the cam by weights F<1>. The cross slide C is actuated by a cam E rotatably mounted in bearings on the frame and driven by worm gearing from the shaft G, a weight serving to keep the slide up to the cam. The cam F is so shaped that no longitudinal motion is given to the tool during the time it is in operation on the bottom of the work, the tool receiving all its motion then from the cam E. Spring buffers Q with removable heads q are provided to aid the weight in giving a quick return to the slide C after the working stroke. During the idle stroke of the tool, the cam shafts are driven at an increased speed, and for this purpose the clutch S' is unclutched from the gear j<7> and put into gear with an independently-rotated pulley S driven at a fast speed. This operation is effected by a projection u<3> on the cam E engaging a roller u on a pivoted plate U, thus rotating the plate, which in turn through a pin v actuates a bellcrank lever t and other linkage to shift the clutch to the quickdrive pulley S, Fig. 2, a spring - pressed pin W<1> with bevelled end engaging a roller u<1> on the plate to retain the clutch in this position. The slide C is thus rapidly returned by the weight until a bevelled projection c<2> on it engages a roller u<2> on the plate U and presses the roller u<1> out of contact with the retaining-pin W<1> and causes the clutch S<1> to clutch again with the gear-wheel j<7>. This gear-wheel is driven through suitable gearing from a pinion on the main spindle B, which is driven by a cone pulley R through a claw clutch member r. To stop the rotation of the work 0, this claw clutch member is declutched by means of a ring P having an internal camgroove p<13> and adapted to be slid along until the surface r<3> of the claw engages the groove, whereupon, as the pulley rotates, the member r is pressed into the shaft B and the shaft stops. The ring P is actuated by a spring-pressed lever p' when a notch on a lever p<5> is disengaged from the lever, this being brought about by a stop f<3> on the weight F<1> actuating a bell-crank lever p, which in turn, through suitable linkage actuates the lever p<5>. The shaft B is again put into rotation by depressing the lever p<7> by hand.

Abstract: 26,134. Garcia, A. I., [Garcia, J. I.]. Nov. 22. Sounding - apparatus. -Relates to ship's sounding - apparatus of the type in which a sounding-bar is pivoted at one end to the keel and is connected between its ends with a sliding rod which actuates an indicating- device and alarm bell on board ship. The sounding-bar 3 is pivoted to the keel so that it is free to rotate in fore- and - aft and athwartship directions. Between its ends it is connected bv a double lever 2 to a vertically-guided rod 1 working in ball-bearing sleeves 6. The upper end of the rod is provided with an eyed piece 10 to which are attached the chains 11 of the electrically-actuated hoisting - drum 12. Springs 13 arranged on either side of the rod and tied to a piece 14 splined thereon tend to return the sounding-bar into alinement with the keel. The upper part of the rod 1 is connected by a chain 16 passing over a pulley 17<a>, Fig. 13, to a spring-controlled rod 17<b> carrying an indexneedle 18 over the face of a dial 20 graduated to give the depth at which the sounding-bar touches bottom. Arrangements can also be made for recording the movements of the needle on a chart 21, and for sounding an alarm bell when the depth becomes dangerously shallow.

Title: Improvements in Provisions for Supply to Fuel in Certain Types of Internal Combustion Engines.
IPC: F02M59/00
Filed: 1912-04-03
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 8060. White & Co., J. S., and Sillince, W. P. April 3. Double-acting piston pumps; regulating delivery by opening suction valves.-Each cylinder of an internal-combustion engine has two liquidfuel pumps which supply it with fuel under pressure alternately when the engine is running continuously in either direction. This admits of the plunger speed being sufficiently low to ensure the passage of the correct quantity of fuel into and from the pumps. In a casing 1 are two pump barrels 4, 5, delivery valves 7, 8, suction passages 9, 10, and suction valves 11, 12. The plungers 13, 14 are reciprocated by a rocking lever 17 pivoted to a bracket 19 on the casing 1 and oscillated by the rod 23 of an eccentric 21 on the cam shaft 22. The suction valve rods 15 are reciprocated by a rocking lever 27 oscillated by a pin 28 on the rocking arm 17, and a governor acts on these valves by controlling the position 30 at which the rocking lever 27 is pivoted. The rod 21 carrying the pivot 30 slides in a guide 32 and is operated by a crank on a cross-shaft which is oscillated by another crank, the end of which bears against a sliding rod passing along the centre of the cam shaft and actuated by the governor.

Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 8398. Marguet, L. Aug. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Rotary strainers.-A combined reciprocatory and rotary motion is given to a paper-pulp strainer by means of belts 5, 6, Figs. 1 and 2, which pass round cranks 7, 8 on a driving- shaft 9 and round flanged portions 4, 4' of collars at the ends of the drum. The extent of the reciprocatory movement is varied by the adjustment of bearing-pieces 14, 15 on which the drum can rest at either end. Suitablyshaped blocks 16, 17 act as guides for the belts and can be pushed apart by screws with handwheels 21 to take up elongation of the belts. The ends of the drum have flanges 22, which engage in grooves on the brackets and prevent axial movement of the drum. The elongation of the belts may be taken up by raising the bearings of the shaft 9.

Telephonic repeaters; exchange apparatus.-A telephone line which is provided with a repeater at an intermediate point is also provided with leakage resistances between the lead and return in order to keep the energy of the electric field equal to that of the magnetic field. The leakage resistances 318 are placed at intervals along the line, and consist of a line of graphite or a pencil mark 347, Fig. 3, made on a glass plate 346 enclosed in a vacuum tube 345. In repeating from a line 301 to a line 302, two relays of the kind described in Specification 7482/12 are used. The line 302 terminates at the intermediate point, which may be an exchange, in a line 310 which is made identical with the line 302 and may lead to an operator's speaking set 312. Between the two lines 302, 310 are the transformer windings 308<a>, which transfer the telephone currents through the windings 308<c> to the energizing- windings 308<d> of the relay 304. The relayed currents are sent over the transformer 306 to the line 301. A similar relay 303 is provided for transmission from the line 301 to the line 302. The windings 308<a> are arranged so that impulses from the relay 303 do not affect the relay 304. Loading inductances may be inserted in the lines. Specification 2929/13 is referred to.

Further to lessen wear, ball bearings are preferably arranged between the front and rear faces of one or both of the blocks and plain or grooved surfaces z on the bracket. The blocks may be mounted loosely over sleeves l screwed upon the axle, the outer block r being pressed against the part i by a nut v, which is screwed upon the axle and flanged to bear upon the block; or the blocks may be screwed upon the sleeve, a nut being threaded upon the sleeve between the bearing- cone and the inner block. The control springs h are held between the nuts v and outer nuts w, and their lower ends are connected to the out-turned portions f of the brackets. A strip x, recessed to receive the limbs k, l, limits the downward motion of the axle. To absorb excessive shocks, resilient means are arranged upon the blocks or the sleeve and within the slot m above and below the axle. For a cycle front wheel, the races j are straight.
