Title: An Improved Feed Measuring Device for Lathes and like Machine Tools.
Inventor: HOLROYD JACKSON
IPC: B23Q17/22
Filed: 1912-09-21
Granted: 1913-09-22
Abstract: 21,496. Holroyd, J., and Thomas, E. L. Sept. 21. Turning.-A gauging-device for lathes and other machine tools comprises two spacing-racks, one C of which is pivoted upon the tool slide and the other B of which is carried by the saddle or other relatively fixed portion of the machine. To give finer feeds than the pitch of the teeth, the rack C carries an eccentric graduated pin D. The rack C carries an adjustable scale J along which runs a pointer carried by the slides; the divisions of this scale are half-size, so that the readings give change in work diameter as the tool is fed in. In a modification, one of the racks is in the form of a screw, by turning which the fine feed is obtained; in another modification, one rack is replaced by a polygonal bar with rack teeth on each side set ahead of each other

Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 25,229. London, W. J. A. Nov. 10, 1911, [Convention date]. Stuffing-boxes, substitutes for. - In steam turbines &c., the packing is pressed against a shoulder on the shaft by means of a sleeve supported by a flexible diaphragm. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the packing 15 is fitted between a shoulder 14 on the shaft and the sleeve 6 which is connected to the casing 8 by a diaphragm 16. Any fall of pressure within the turbine casing 1 causes an increase of pressure on the packing, which may be augmented by live steam admitted to the casing 8 through a port 17. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which packing 21 is held against the shaft collars 19 by floating rings 20 supported by two flexible diaphragms 23. In this arrangement, any change of pressure outside the diaphragms causes pressure of the packing on the collars 19

Title: Improvement in Processes of Hydrogenating Oily Material.
Inventor: ELLIS CARLETON
IPC: C11C3/12
Filed: 1913-07-22
Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 16,782. Ellis, C. July 23, 1912, [Convention date]. Catalytic processes and apparatus. - Oily material containing unsaturated bodies is hvdrogenated by repeatedly and continuously bubbling a strong current of hydrogen or hydrogen-containing gas through the oil in which is suspended a catalyst, and withdrawing the gas at a very rapid rate so as to maintain above the oil a gaseous atmosphere preferably slightly under atmospheric pressure, so that any substantial accession of pressure and consequent formation of lactones is avoided. In the apparatus shown, the vessel 1 used for carrying out the process is conical, and provided with a heating-jacket 2. Hydrogen introduced through the pipe 4 is forced through the oil by the pump 13, which takes its supply from a point above the oil-pool so that any increase in pressure at this point is avoided, the pressure being preferably kept below atmospheric. A further convenience consists in preventing the catalyst from being withdrawn with the oil, and to effect this a filter block 20 carried by a rod 19 is provided, so that this can be lowered to close 'the outlet when the oil is being drawn off.

Abstract: 27,644. Lundmark, L. A. Dec. 1 Seed distributors.-In a corn-planter in which the seeds are automatically fed from the hopper to the seed-tube or coulter by a sliding valve, the hoppers 22 are mounted on a frame 7, which is pivoted to the main frame 4 at 10. The sliding valve 28, Fig. 3, has an opening 29 adapted to register alternately with the opening 23 in the hopper 22 and an opening 25 in a plate 26 covering the seed-tube 30. The bar 28 is also provided with a longitudinal slot 34 in which is adjustably fitted, by a pin 35, the tongue 33 of a member 32 pivoted at its upper end to a bar 38, the reduced end 40 of which slidably engages a slot 41 in a lever 42. The lever 42 is pivoted at 43, Fig. 1, to the frame member 44, and also at 48 to a transversely slidable bar 47 which is operated by the engagement of one or more cams 59 on the road wheel 3 with a roller 57 carried by a bar 54 pivoted at 55 to the bar 47. The valve 28, after operation, is returned to its normal position by a spring 60, and the lever 54 may be moved out of the path of the cam 59 by a lever 61 passing through a staple 64 and provided with a bent portion to engage the frame when the lever is in the operative position. Before starting the sowing the wheels 2, 3 may be raised by a foot-lever 68 which works in a slotted member carried by the frame, the machine being then supported by one or more shoes 70 so that the position of the cam 59 can be adjusted. The seat 76 is resiliently supported by a U-shaped frame 77 pivoted to the main frame, the legs being secured to the ends of a pin 80 carried by the upper end of a spring 81 secured to the member 13. The wheel 3 with the cam 59 may be set in the desired position by a pawl and ratchet-wheel 65. The rear wheel 11 is carried by the member 13, pivoted to the frame, and is raised or lowered by a foot-lever 16. The frame 7 with the furrow disks 31 may be swung out of the working positions by a lever 82 connected by a lever 85 to a bell-crank lever 83 mounted on the frame member 6. The lever 82 is provided with a divided ring member 86 which engages the central hopper 22 and is secured to the frame 7 by plates 87.
