Title: Apparatus for Removing Fins or Scrap from the Links in the Manufacture of Weldless Chains.
Inventor: STRATHERN ALEXANDER GEORGE
Filed: 1902-06-06
Granted: 1903-05-07
Abstract: 12,908. Strathern, A. G. June 6. Punching.-Relates to apparatus for cutting off the fin or scrap from the links of weldless chains manufactured from cruciform bars by die stamping or rolling processes in apparatus such as is described in Specification No. 14,451, A.D. 1899. The chain bar C' passes through an opening or orifice C, formed at the front end in a cylindrical part C<2> mounted in a frame A. The part C' may be rotated through a right-angle, by means of a lever D and links D', so as to bring the horizontal and vertical webs of the bar alternately into position under cutting-dies E, F. The bar is fed forward by means of a hooked rod, or rods, G, one end of which engages a link of the chain, and the other end is pivoted to a cross-bar H on a slide I connected to an operating-lever K by links J. Cam grooves or slots i in the slides engage pins l on the bottom die-blocks E<1>, F<1>, which clamp the chain in position. Upon operating the lever K, the blocks are moved to free the chain and allow it to be fed forward, the blocks being again moved to clamp the chain after the feeding operation. A lever arm h on the bar H comes into contact with an adjustable stop h<1> to release the rod G when the chain has received the desired feed. The cutting-dies E, F are brought into operation by means of a foot-lever N, which is freed from a retaining-catch 0 by the forward movement of the lever K. One of the dies E. F serves to remove the fin or scrap from the outside of a horizontal link, and the other acts upon the inside of another horizontal link. The part C<2> is then turned through a right-angle and the chain fed forward so that the dies can act upon fresh links. The dies may be formed so that they clear off the scrap surrounding a single link, or trim the scrap from halves of two adjacent links.

Axles; axles, attaching to body; springs, bearing; undercarriages.-Relates to the mounting of motor car and other vehicle wheels upon axle-trees pivotally connected through springs to axles or other supports on the vehicle. As applied to a steering-wheel, the spindle B, preferably directed downwards, as shown, has a sleeve b which is free to slide and turn on a pin E, a spring D being disposed between the sleeve and the upper jaw of a bracket C carried by the axle. The steering-lever H is connected to an arm b<2> of the sleeve. The pin may be secured in the jaws of the bracket, or it may be free to slide to a limited extent. The sleeve is lubricated by a lubricant passing by a central channel E* in the pin to radial openings e*. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 for the driven wheels of a motor vehicle, the spring-supported axle has end brackets C<1>, and the wheels are mounted on spindles B' which extend through sleeves b<3> carrying the pins E<1> mounted in the brackets. The spindle carries a driving-pinion J, and, if desired, a brake drum. A radius rod K may be attached to the sleeve, or the pin may be made of other than circular cross-section. To aid in preventing the wheel from turning round the guide pins, they may pass through openings in the jaws of the bracket so shaped as to allow of only vertical movement, or two pins may be used, or a single pin may be rigidly secured to the bracket, and the sleeve adapted to slide. In a further arrangement for a non-steering and a non-driven wheel, to prevent the wheel from turning round the pin, a projection on the boss of the spindle has a central groove arranged to receive and move on a guide on the bracket C. The spring D may be disposed between the upper jaw of the bracket and a collar on the guide-pin, the boss of the spindle being attached to the lower end of the pin which is extended through the bottow jaw of the bracket. As shown in Fig. 5, the pin may be carried by a bracket B<2> on the spindle, and pass through a boss C<3> on the axle, or the axle may be bent downwardly to form the guide-pin, or by providing the lower end of the pin with an adjustable stop for the spring, and attaching the boss of the spindle to the upper end of the pin, the bracket B<2> may be dispensed with. Two springs may be used, and in this case, the bracket C is provided with a central jaw. One spring may be disposed between the central jaw and a stop, the other spring being arranged between the upper jaw and the boss of the spindle, or both brackets B<2>, C may be used. Fig. 10 shows an arrangement with three springs, the spring D<3> bearing on the boss of the spindle, impinges against a cup P in which rests a second spring D<2>, in turn resting against a second cup P' with a third spring D<1>. The springs may be arranged to be in tension instead of compression.

Inventor: FUTERS THOMAS CAMPBELL
Filed: 1903-10-09
Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 21,793. Futers, T. C. Oct. 9. Winding- engines; valve gear; brakes.-Relates to brake and valve-controlling gear for winding- engines for collieries &c., applicable also to cranes, hoists, &c., and consists in controlling the reversing- gear &c. by two opposing motions, one effected by band, the other by the engine itself and in such a way that, on the cessation of the former, the continued motion of the engine brings the gear to its central stop position. The link 7 and a valve controlling the steam supply to a brake cylinder are connected to a vertical spindle 2 which rises or falls when rotating relatively to a bevel-wheel nut 49 mounted in fixed bearings and geared to the engine crank shaft. The spindle 2 is geared to a telescopic hand-wheel spindle 62, the hand-wheel part of which gears through a fixed nut and is fitted with stops 36 so that it can only receive a limited number of revolutions in either direction. Thus, on rotating the hand-wheel 32, the brake is taken off and the link 7 shifted to start the engine, but, unless the rotation of the hand-wheel is continued, the rotation of the nut 49 returns the link to mid position and stops the engine. To allow of a further small movement of the engine after the cage is brought to bank, in the case of double deck cages, a movable stop piece 37 is normally held in the position shown by a spring but is capable of being lifted out of the way by a pedal and link. When winding coals, the hand-wheel 32 may be rotated by a motor.
