Title: Improvements in Leather Shaving Machines.
Inventor: HALEY SAM
Filed: 1898-07-20
Granted: 1898-11-26
Abstract: 15,826. Haley, S. July 20. Hides and skins, tanned or tawed, treating.-Relates to improvements in leather shaving, whitening, and buffing machines, such as " Root's " shaving-machines. Fig. 2 shows the machine in plan view. The blades of the revolving helical cutter A are ground by the emery wheels B, which are secured to a boss d, Fig. 7, which turns on the sleeve c shrunk on the shaft T. The driving - pulley W is screwed home on the boss d so as to grip the emery wheels, and the boss is retained on the sleeve d by the grooved boss X, also secured to the shaft. The groove in the boss X receives an arm Z attached to the sliding shaft Z<2>, which reciprocates under the action of a crank and lever not shown. The shaft T carrying the rotating emery wheels slides to and fro with it, being prevented from turning by a keyway into which fits a spline &c. in one of the shaft bearings. The latter are formed in slides J traversed by the screws H, worm-wheels G, worms E, and hand-wheel C on the shaft D. The emery wheels can thus be adjusted to grind the cutters. To withdraw them from the cutters rapidly without disturbing this adjustment, the rod R is pushed back so as to turn the rod N and the cams 0 which it carries. The slides I, which are urged towards the left by flat springs, are now free to move and carry with them a short distance to the left the whole grinding-mechanism, including the shafts D and Z<2> and the slides J. Alternative methods of withdrawing the emery wheels from the cutters are (1) to mount the wheels eccentrically upon the shaft T and to turn the latter slightly in its bearings, and (2) to make the bearings themselves eccentric and to provide means for turning them. The belt which drives the pulley W passes over a cylinder driven through a suitable clutch from the main driving-shaft, and a pulley on the cylinder shaft drives a wheel which actuates the reciprocating-mechanism for the shaft Z<2> through a worm and worm-wheel.

Patent GB-189925453-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Alternating Electric Current Motor Systems.
Filed: 1899-12-22
Granted: 1900-04-07
Abstract: 25,453. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Davis, A. G.]. Dec. 22. Switches.-Relates to alternating-current motor systems, particularly those of the tandem and tandem-multiple types, the object being to enable the motors to be started with full torque and to run efficiently at various speeds when supplied from a source of single-phase currents. A single-phase motor, started by an auxiliary motor of the splitphase type, is conrected in tandem to a polyphase motor driving the same load, e.g., a street car. By means of a controlling-switch, the resistance of the secondary circuit of one or both of the motors is varied, the phase displacement in the intermediate circuits is neutralized or adjusted, and the motors are ultimately ioined in multiple with the singlephase mains. Fig. 1 is a diagram of the system, in which A represents a single-phase motor, B a polyphase motor, and K the controlling-switch with its contact-cylinder developed. In the position 1 of the controller, an auxiliary motor M of the split-phase type is connected with the single-phase mains and rotates a " flux screen " A<3> in the space between the primary and secondary members of the motor A for the purpose of starting the latter. When the controller is moved to the position 2, the primary winding of the motor A is connected to the single-phase mains, and its secondary winding to the primary of the motor B through single sections of condensers C, C', the secondary of the motor B being short-circuited through resistances R', R<2>. The motors now run at a low speed. Tn the position 3 of the controller, the auxiliary motor is cut out, another section of each condenser is connected to the intermediate circuits, and the resistances R, R<2> are cut out. This results in an increase of speed. In the position 4, all the sections of the condensers C, C<1> are thrown in, and the secondary winding of the motor B is short-circuited in small sections by a movable ring under the action of an electromagnet M<b>. The motors now run at nearly half the synchronous speed. Tn the position 5, the secondary winding of the motor A is shortcircuited in small sections by the action of a second electromagnet M<a>, and, in the position 6, the intermediate circuits are opened. In the position 7, the two motors are connected in multiple, their secondaries being short-circuited through resistances R<1>, R' and R<3>, R<4> respectively. In the position 8, the resistances are cut out, and, finally, in the position 9, both secondaries are short-circuited in small sections by the magnets M<a>, M<b>. The motors now run at a speed very near synchronism.
