Inventor: COLIN MAURICE
IPC: D03J3/04
Filed: 1911-10-10
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 22,330. Colin, M. Oct. 10. Weavers' shuttle-threaders.-A suction device for threading shuttles comprises a cylinder a, Fig. 1, and a spring-controlled piston b having a hollow rod c carrying a shuttle support f provided with shuttle-guiding rods j, Fig. 1<a>, and with an adjustable piece h<1> to receive the nose of the shuttle. The end of the weft is placed over one of a pair of brackets k, the weft being at the same time arranged in the usual recess in the top working face of the shuttle, and the support f and piston b are then lowered by pressing the shuttle downwards with both hands. When the hole c communicates with the interior of the cylinder, air is sucked through the mouthpiece m to thread the shuttle. When the piston again rises, the air in the cylinder escapes through a valve o, another valve n preventing air from passing back through the mouthpiece ‹m. and unthreading the shuttle.

Title: Improved Tapping Mechanism for Multiple Spindle Metal Working Machines.
Inventor: SMITH OSCAR AUGUST
IPC: B23B9/08
Filed: 1912-03-04
Granted: 1913-04-04
Abstract: 5932. Smith, O. A. March 4, 1912. Drilling-machines; tapping.-Multiple-spindle drilling-machines of the type described in Specification 5452/12 are provided with special tapping-mechanism, the combined machine being particularly suitable for the manufacture of pipe couplings. The drill spindles rotate in the opposite direction to the work spindles, which are mounted in a turret, and the tap is stationary and has a curved shank for the continuous discharge of the finished couplings. Oil is supplied during tapping only, and the cam-shaft drive has an automatic stop in case the tap fails to remove the finished blank. The work spindles are driven by a pinion on a central shaft extending the length of the machine and carrying a belt pulley, and the turret is indexed by a sector gear on the cam shaft, which is driven through a clutch 22, Fig. 5, by wormgearing 18, Fig. 8, and chain, change, and bevel gearing 13, from a bevel-wheel 11 attached to the pulley 10, which is loose on the central shaft and drives it through back-gearing. The tap is carried by a slide 50, on the drill head, reciprocated by a cam lever engaging between a fixed abutment 63 and a yielding abutment 64. The tap is supported and held by aid of the couplings on its curved shank engaging a bush 51 and a swivelling bush 52. The work spindles are hollow and fitted at their rear ends with bushes coned at 116, Fig. 4, to make a joint with a cam-operated plunger situated at the tapping station. When the plunger is advanced to make the joint, the passage in it registers with the oil - delivery port 119 and permits the flow which is cut off during indexing. Between the tapping position and the blank-supplying position, an arm is so situated that in the event of a finished or defective coupling remaining in the chuck the arm will be rocked to throw out the clutch 22 by means of a rock-shaft and lever 109, Fig. 5.

Abstract: 1327. Rasmussen, C. Jan. 17, 1913, [Convention date]. Transfer mechanism for calculating-machines having actuating-wheels with a variable number of teeth comprises two radially adjustable teeth on the actuating-wheels adapted, when a single tooth on a numeral-wheel rocks a cam-lever, to be protruded into the path of the teeth of an intermediate wheel to rotate said wheel and thereby actuate the next-higher numeral-wheel of the totalizer. On the completion of a revolution by the lower wheel k, a tooth k' rocks a lever h and thereby moves its arm h<1>, which carries a cam-surface g, away from the periphery of the next higher actuating-wheel a. These wheels have, in addition to the setting- teeth b, two transfer teeth d for addition and subtraction. Each tooth d has a lateral projection (not shown) adapted to engage the camsurface g, when this is in its set position, to project the tooth d so as to cause it to actuate the corresponding intermediate pinion n and thereby the next-higher numeral-wheel. The lever h is held in set position by a pawl o, operated to release it at the beginning and near the end of a complete rotation of the main spindle q. This release is effected by means of a system of levers u, v, w, y and a pin s engaging a cam-groove r on a disk on the main spindle.
