Patent GB-191025704-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Feed Mechanism for Capstan or Turret Lathes.
Inventor: SMITH ALBERT HENRY
IPC: B23B13/00
Filed: 1910-11-05
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 25,704. Smith, A. H. Nov. 5. Lathes; chuckcs.-Stock, in a hollow spindle lathe, is fed by an intermittently - advanced carrier connected by a ratchet or like device to a bar reciprocated in one direction by a spring and in the other direction by gearing from the spindle. A stop determines the precise amount of feed, and the mechanism is controlled by the chuck-operating mechanism, which is of the type described in Specification 15,744/08. The collet 26, Fig. 1, is drawn into a bevelled socket 27 to grip the stock by a cam-sleeve 28 engaging a mating-cam on the spindle 22 and rotated by inclined slots 31 in a sleeve splined to the spindle and traversed by a hand-lever 35. A ball thrust bearing is interposed at 37. The hand lever slides a boss 34 on a fixed tube 2, which guides a rack-bar 3 connected to the stock carrier 8 by a pawl 6. Motion of the bars to open the chuck advances a cam bar 39, Fig. 9, to trip a catch 12 and release the bar 3. A spring 4 then effects the feed as limited by an adjustable screw stop 47. At the same time, a second bar carried by the boss is advanced into a recess in a quadrant plate 23 and maintains it in the position shown in Fig. 9. When the boss is returned to close the chuck, this bar is removed and the quadrant is rocked by a spring 24, to engage a worm 15 driven from the spindle at 21, Fig. 1, with teeth 14 on the bar 3. On the completion of the return movement, the catch 12 snaps into place and a projection 42 disengages the worm 15. According to the Provisional Specification, the worm 15 is driven through spur gearing, and the quadrant plate is rocked by a bell-crank operated by the boss 34; and, in a further modification, a continuously-rotating screw driven from the main spindle is employed in connexion with a half - nut carried by a pivoted rocker to effect the return of the bar 3.

Inventor: WILSON WILLIAM
IPC: A63G1/00

Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 989. Wilson, W., and Mitchell, J. T. Jan. 13. No Patent granted (Sealing fec not paid). Railways and tracks for recreation.-Relates to switchback roundabout tracks in which cars run on their own wheels on plain-surface circular tracks, and consists in providing a guide-slot just inside the outer track 4, which slot is engaged by perpendicular guide - rods 10 depending from the cars. With this arrangement, the guidewheels 11, which are mounted on the rods 10, engage in approximately the same positions on the sides of the slot even when the inner wheels rise off the track under the influence of centrifugal force. Owing to the fact that the inner wheels rise from the track, the car is driven through its outer wheels only by means of an electric motor the current for which is collected by a slipper 22 arranged at the lower end of the rod 10, and a leaf-spring slipper 25 projecting from the axle of the car from live rail 23, 24 respectively. The cars may be loaded from both the outer and inner sides of the track, the passengers passing in the latter case through passages beneath the higher parts of the track.

Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 14,137. Sperryn, G. N., and Wood, W. H. June 14. Incandescent gas burners ; burners, attaching and mounting.-In inverted incandescent gas lamps, the burner is loosely mounted, as by depending projections q, upon a supporting ring or frame, as a flange p or tongues, or ledges on the globe-holder, which is detachably mounted, as by the bow-piece f and collar g resting on the shoulder c on the gas-nipple a. The shoulder c is of heat-insulating material, such as fibre. There is thus no mechanical connexion between the burner and the gas-injector, and the complete burner including globe-holder may be lifted off the gas injector, and the body of the burner may readily be removed from the globe-holder. The funnel-shaped upper part k of the burner tube may be screwed into the body of the burner in order that the part k may be adjusted relatively to the nipple. In a modification, the burner body u, Fig. 10, is formed with a shoulder resting on a flange v on the globe-holder, and a gauze diaphragm to which a cup 2 is attached is placed in the burner tube.

Abstract: 5629. Bentall, E. E., and Bingham, G. C. March 6. Magnetos, driving. - In driving-gear for ignition magnetos in which the driven shaft is stopped and then released under the action of a spring, a catch is provided for holding the trip mechanism out of action when the engine attains normal speed. Fixed on a cam a on the driving-shaft is a pin c to-which is attached a spring d. The other end of the spring engages an arm g pivoted to a disk e on the driven shaft. The latter is stopped during a portion of each revolution by a catch h carried by a pivoted lever k which rests on the cam a. At low speeds the cam throws the lever k upwards just enough to release the arm g, but at a higher speed the throw is sufficient to enable the end of a lever l, pivoted to the lever k, to engage a stationary catch m and so hold the catch h clear of the arm g. A projection n on the cam a protrudes in the pathway of the hooked end o of the arm g, but the catch h tilts the arm g so that it clears this projection. When, however, the catch is thrown out of action, the projection engages the hook o and drives the disk e directly.
