Abstract: 8995. Berry, T., and Isherwood, L. A. April 17. Driving - arrangements. - The tin rollers, which are geared together and to the drawing- roller shafts, are each driven through a belt and coned pulleys, the upper pulleys 14 being driven from the main driving-shaft 3 and being connected by belts 16 to the lower pulleys 18 on the tin-roller shafts 20. The belts are moved to vary the speed of the rollers and spindles as the bobbin is being wound, by guides 37, mounted on rods 36 and actuated from a bar 44 loosely mounted on a rod 45 connecting levers 40 fulcrumed on a rod 41 and having slots 39 engaging pins on the guides. One or more springs 42 tend to keep the levers 40 against stops 43. The movement of the bar 44 is controlled by a shaper plate 51, which is moved by the end 50 of a slidable part 49 having a slot engaging a pin 48b on a bell-crank lever 48 fulcrumed in fixed bearings 47 and operated by the building- lever 59. The shaper plate is moved transversely to the bar by reason of a nut 53, carried by a screw 54 and engaging between guiding-lugs 52 on the plate and actuated from the building- lever through a pawl 58<a>, ratchet-wheel 58, flexible shaft 57 and pinions 55, 56. When the part 62 of the shaper plate is opposite the bar 44, no movement will be transmitted to the bar 44 and belt guides, but as the plate is automatically traversed between the parts 44, 50, a gradually increasing movement is given to the guides until the part 60 engages the bar 44, whereupon a constant movement is given; the movement then gradually decreases until the part 61 comes opposite the bar 44, whereupon no movement is transmitted and the bobbins will have been completed. The wheel 58 and a portion of the shaft 57 may be carried by the building-lever and the wheel being operated by a stationary catch. In a modification, the bar 44 has rack teeth geared by pinions to a vertical rack operated by the shaper plate which is mounted on a screw carried by the building- lever and operated by a ratchet-wheel and stationarv catch. One or other of the coned pulleys may be mounted in arms adjustable to tension the belts and secured in the adjusted position by a peg engaging one of a series of holes in a quadrant fixed on the axis of the arm. Each of the upper pulleys is geared to one of a pair of meshing pinions, one or other of which is driven from the shaft 3 by a pinion 5; by changing the pinion 5 from one side of the machine to the other, the direction of rotation of the spindles is reversed.

Abstract: 14,301. Asbury, D. F. June 13. Dash-pots.-Consists of a dash-pot for cushioning the movement of the swinging breech - screw carrier of heavy ordnance when it swings open. The power-operated cylin - der and-piston device 12, 48 for moving the carrier inwards to close the breech is shown in horizontal section in Fig. 5. Upon the rear of the cylinder is screwed a casing 18 containing a pair of hydraulic buffers 40, each carrying a spring-pressed piston 37 working in a cylinder 35 or 36. In each cylinder is an annular groove 41 communicating with a liquid reservoir 44, shown in cross-section in Fig. 7. From this groove run a number of longitudinal channels 42 of different lengths. During the opening movement of the breech, the piston 48 moves freely in its cylinder until it is arrested by the buffers 40, which are thereby driven into their cylinders, causing the pistons 37 to drive liquid through the channels 42 into the channel 41 and thence to the reservoir 44. Since the channels 42 are of different lengths, the cushioning action of these buffers is progressive. The cylinder 12 is connected to the gun by an enlarged eye 10 engaging a pin 8, so that if the carrier is moved inwards by hand, the eye moves over the pin and opens a passage 17 for the escape of air in front of the piston, this passage being additional to the passage 14 which is open when power is used.
