Improvements in Machinery for Gauging and Sorting Steel Balls,
Bullets, and other Spheres, and for Heating and Hardening the
same.
We, ROBERT FREDERICK HALL, of 154, Sherlock Street, in the City of Birming-
ham, Manufacturer, and HENRY JAMES TAYLOR PIERCY, of Broad Street Engine
Works, Birmingham aforesaid, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to machinery or apparatus for use in gauging and sorting
and also heating and hardening steel balls such as are employed in the bearings
of cycles and other vehicles, and for other purpose, also other balls and spheres.
The machines at present in use for gauging and sorting steel balls employ straight
hardened strips of steel which are placed a certain distance from each other leaving
a space between them which is arranged to be slightly taper, that is to say, they
may be ten thousandths of an inch closer together at one end than at the other,
(or more or less).
These bars or rails are placed in an inclined position and the balls to be gauged
are set rolling down between them.
It happens frequently that when a ball reaches a position between these rails,
the space of which is nearly equal to its diameter it will stick and refuse to move
further. This necessitates a knife edge longitudinal piece of metal being arranged
so that it can be lifted either by hand or mechanically to raise the ball from its
stuck position, thus causing it to move slightly further down the inclined plane,
enabling it to drop through the rails into one or other of the divisions placed under
to receive it.
This constant rolling of the hardened balls on the knife edge surfaces of the steel
rails quickly wears their edges and necessitates their removal for re-grinding.
Another disadvantage is that the balls are not gauged uniformly neither do they
have the same percentage of accuracy, this being by the impetus obtained on the
inclined plane. For instance, a ball abnormally large would stand higher from
between the rails than one much smaller so that the larger ball would have a
longer distance to travel down the inclined plane and thus gain increased impetus
before it reached the wide portion of the slot corresponding to its diameter. This
impetus is calculated to carry it past the exact position in which it should have
fallen. The ball that is so much smaller would not get the same amount of impetus,
but would stick between the slots, and upon being removed by the knife edge blade
would be pushed or caused to roll further down the slot than it is absolutely neces-
sary for it to have done. This might happen midway between the divisions or
boxes, and would cause the ball to fall into the box next to it instead of the one
preceding it.
Now our invention consists in a method of gauging and sorting steel and other
balls, spheres and the like and lies in imparting a positive and defined movement

page_text: to every ball thereby compelling each one to undergo exactly the same conditions
as its fellow, thus ensuring uniformity in the process of gauging and sorting.
By imparting this positive movement to each ball we overcome the wear and tear
caused by the rolling and provide ample provision for the renewal of fresh gauging
surfaces, thus dispensing with the continual necessity of having to remove and re-
grind the gauging edges.
We use flat bars of steel with so-called knife edge gauging faces or edges;
through the whole length of this slot we fit a flat blade of sheet metal. The edge
of this blade is serrated, each serration having about half the circumference of the
ball, so that the edge presents a series of semi-circular serrations. On the edge
of the two steel rails we fit sheet metal guides which are open slightly larger than
the diameter of the ball so as to prevent the ball from falling sideways out of
the semi-circular serrations, as they are lifted. In fixing the two hardened steel
rails we place them perfectly horizontal, that is to say, we dispense with the system
of the inclined plane.
The sheet metal blade with semi-circular serrations upon its upper edge is con-
tinued sufficiently long to extend beyond the mouth of the hardened steel rails,
and enters into a hopper containing a large number of balls ready for gauging.
Underneath the two hardened steel rails are a number of divisions, so placed
that the balls, as they drop in these divisions, will be sorted and will measure the
size determined by the adjustment of the rails. The method in which we work
the mechanism is as follows:-
The serrated metal blade is connected underneath to an eccentric shaft running
parallel to the open slot and the serrated blade. Motion is imparted to the serrated
blade by two connecting rods, one at each end, terminating in a bearing which
embraces the eccentric shaft.
On revolving this eccentric shaft it will be obvious that the serrated blades with
the semi-circular serrations will rise vertically and fall with the throw of the
eccentric.
The throw of this eccentric is sufficient at its highest point to lift the ball clear
of the knife-like edges of the hardened steel rails, and at its lowest point to descend
sufficiently clear of the inside of the said steel rails to allow any ball to drop past
it into the division arranged to receive it.
It is necessary to state that the balls during this operation are following on
close together the whole length of the aforementioned rails.
It is obvious from the above that if the vertical movement were the only one,
the balls would be simply lifted from the steel rails (perpendicularly) and re-
deposited in exactly the same place they were lifted from. But to give the neces-
sary travel we introduce a compound movement by fixing on the afore named
eccentric shaft, a small spur or cog wheel and gearing into this another one
carrying on its face a projection. We arrange that when the eccentric shaft has
lifted the sheet metal blade with its serrated edges, carrying as it does in each of
its serrations the balls, clear of the steel rails, then it receives from this projection
on the face of the spur wheel a forward movement, of a distance equivalent to
the diameter of the ball (or more or less as may be desired), the sheet metal blade
then descends placing the balls gently on the edges of the two steel rails but in an
advanced position to that which they previously occupied.
Any of these balls will drop through the slot in the rails if they have obtained
the position equal to their diameter.
The same movement which accomplishes this lifts a fresh ball from the hopper
(previously mentioned) and places it upon the rails to be carried forward in turn.
We have now explained how we dispense with the rolling or gravitation system,
and thus among other advantages prevent undue wear from taking place on the
steel rails but will point out that the space measured by the distance between
where the balls are lifted, and deposited, has never been touched, and is, con-
sequently, ready to. be brought into use, when the portion which is already in usc
becomes worn.

page_text: This wear may be compensated for in two ways; either the two rails may be
removed longitudinally by adjusting screws so that a portion of the new and unworn
space is presented to the balls or the blade with the semi-circular serrations may
be adjusted longitudinally so as to lift and deposit the ball in a different place than
it has previously been doing.
The machine is driven by a small pulley on the eccentric shaft, and a small
band, or we may arrange to fix a handle and turn same by hand.
The horizontal or sliding movement of the blade with the semi-circular serrations
we carry out by allowing the connecting rods to slide in their bearings over the
eccentric shaft, or we may fit the eccentric shaft in bearings permitting of its
horizontal movement and arrange for this said shaft to strike against a projection
at a given point of its revolution and thus transmit to it the required horizontal
movement which will carry with it the two connecting rods and the metal serrated
blade thus carrying the balls and allowing it to deposit same in their advanced
positions then returning to its normal point to again repeat the operation.
In applying the above described machine for use in connection with the heating
and hardening of steel balls, we substitute the rails by gas tubes or Bunsen burners,
the blade being made of steel or iron, and the balls, after being taken along the
length or a part of the length of the apparatus, are precipitated into a cooling
medium. By arranging the traverse of these balls to take place entirely enveloped
by the blue flame, we avoid oxidisation and by dealing with each ball singly, we
ensure equality or uniformity of hardening.

Bullets, and other Spheres, and for Heating and Hardening the
same..
We, ROBERT FREDERICK HALL, of 154, Sherlock Street, in the City of Birming-
ham, Manufacturer, and HENRY JAMES TAYLOR PIERCY, of Broad Street Engine
Works, Birmingham aforesaid, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to machinery or apparatus for use in gauging and sorting,
and also heating and hardening steel balls such as are employed in the bearings
of cycles and other vehicles, and for other purposes, also other balls and spheres.
The machines at present in use for gauging and sorting steel balls employ straight
hardened strips of steel which are placed a certain distance from each other leaving
a space between them which is arranged to be slightly taper, that is to say, they
may be ten thousandths of an inch closer together at one end than at the other,
(or more or less).
These bars or rails are placed in an inclined position and the balls to be gauged
are set rolling down between them.
It happens frequently that when a ball reaches a part of these rails where the
space between them is nearly equal to its diameter, it will stick and refuse to
move further.
This necessitates a knife edge longitudinal piece of metal being
arranged so that it can be lifted either by hand or mechanically to raise the ball

page_text: from its stuck position, thus causing it to move slightly further down the inclined
plane, enabling it to drop through the rails into one or other of the divisions placed
under to receive it.
This constant rolling of the hardened balls on the knife edge surfaces of the steel
rails quickly wears their edges and necessitates their removal for re-grinding.
Another disadvantage is that the balls are not gauged uniformly neither do they
have the same percentage of accuracy, this being occasioned by the impetus which
they obtain in running down the inclined plane. For instance, a ball abnormally
large would stand higher from between the rails than one much smaller, so that
the larger ball would have a longer distance to travel down the inclined plane and
thus gain increased impetus before it reached the wide portion of the slot corre-
sponding to its diameter. This impetus is calculated to carry it past the exact
position in which it should have fallen. A ball that is so much smaller would not
get the same amount of impetus, but would stick in the slot, and upon being
removed by the knife edge blade would be pushed or caused to roll further down
the slot than it is absolutely necessary for it to have done. This might happen
midway between the divisions or boxes, and would cause the ball to fall into the
box next to it instead of the one preceding it.
Now our invention consists in a method of gauging and sorting steel and other
balls, spheres and the like and lies in imparting a positive and defined movement
to every ball thereby compelling each one to undergo exactly the same conditions
as its fellow, thus ensuring absolute uniformity in the process of gauging and
sorting.
By imparting this positive movement to each ball we overcome the wear and
tear caused by the rolling and provide ample provision for the renewal of fresh
gauging surfaces, thus dispensing with the continual necessity of having to remove
and re-grind the gauging edges.
We use flat bars of steel with so-called knife edge gauging faces or edges; and
running through the whole length of this slot is a flat blade of metal, the top edge
of which is serrated, each serration having about half the circumference of the ball,
so that the edge presents a series of semi-circular serrations. In fixing the two
hardened steel rails we place them perfectly horizontal, that is to say, we dispense
with the system of the inclined plane.
The metal blade or ball-conveyor plate with semi-circular serrations upon its
upper edge is continued sufficiently long to extend beyond the mouth of the
hardened steel rails, and is adapted to receive balls fed from a hopper containing
a large number of balls ready for gauging.
Underneath the two hardened steel rails are a number of divisions, so placed that
the balls, as they drop in these divisions, will be sorted and will measure the size
determined by the adjustment of the rails. The method in which we work the
mechanism is as follows:
The serrated metal blade is connected underneath to a shaft running parallel to
the open slot and the serrated blade. Motion is imparted to the serrated blade
by a series of cams or eccentrics, so arranged that on revolving the shaft it will
be obvious that the serrated blades with the semi-circular serrations will rise
vertically and fall and traverse longitudinally a short distance forwards with the
throw of the cams, said throws being sufficient at their highest point to lift the
ball clear of the knife-like edges of the hardened steel rails, and at its lowest point
to descend sufficiently clear of the inside of the said steel rails to allow any ball
to drop past it into the division arranged to receive it, and we also arrange that
when the cams have lifted the sheet metal blade with its serrated edges, carrying
as it does in each of its serrations the balls, clear of the steel rails, then it receives
from the traversing cam a forward movement, of a distance equivalent to the
diameter of the ball (or more or less as may be desired); the sheet metal blade
then descends placing the balls gently on the edges of the two steel rails but in
an advanced position to that which they previously occupied.

page_text: Any of these balls will drop through the slot in the rails if they have obtained
the position equal to their diameter.
The same movement which accomplishes this lifts a fresh ball from the hopper
(previously mentioned) and places it upon the rails to be carried forward in turn.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents a longitudinal vertical section,
with parts in section, of a machine designed for gauging and sorting steel balls
or like spheres according to our invention, by carrying them progressively and by
stages along a horizontal taper gauging slot, hence positive and accurate gauging.
Figure 2 is a topside plan of the said machine, but with a part in section upon
the dotted linea, Figure 1, thus removing the hopper of the feed mechanism.
Figure 3 is a transverse vertical section of Figure 2 upon the dotted line ¹,
showing more clearly the arrangements for adjusting the distance between the
opposed edges of the horizontal rails by which the balls are gauged and sorted.
Figure 4 is an end view of the pair of cams secured to the right hand or hopper
end of the spindle or driving axis of the machine, one of them being adapted to
impart a traversing, and the other a rising and falling movement to the serrated-
edged blade which raises the balls from off the knife edges of the gauging rails
and carries them a determined distance forwards, thereby giving them a positive
movement.
Figure 5 is a side elevation of these cams and their accessory fittings whilst
Figure 6 is a vertical section of the same upon the dotted line a, Figure 4.
Figure 7 represents a side elevation of the single blade-lifting cam, which is
secured to the left hand end of the spindle, Figure 8 an end view thereof and
Figure 9 a vertical section of Figure 8 upon the dotted line ³.
Figure 10 represents principally in vertical section, the ball feed mechanism of
the machine, with a portion of the ball-conveyor blade and its adjuncts, showing
the said blade in its raised position, lifting the balls clear of the gauging rails
and just before it is caused to make its longitudinal traverse movement for carry-
ing the said balls the required distance further along the gap between the said
rails.
Figure 11 represents a transverse vertical section of Figure 10 upon the dotted
line a.
Figure 12 is a like view as Figure 10, but showing the ball conveyor blade or
plate in the position it assumes after the completion of its compound and inter-
mittent lift and traverse movements and showing the balls resting and supported
between the edges of the gauging rails.
Figure 13 represents a transverse vertical section of Figure 12 upon the dotted
line.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures
of the drawings.
a is the main framing of the machine, mounted upon the base board b, and
having a longitudinal middle gap a¹, running throughout nearly the whole length
of the top a², of the same, the sides a³, being open, whilst the ends a³, constitute
the supports of the frame and have within them, the bearings a³, of the right and
left hand ends of the main spindle or axis c, of the machine, which is driven
through a wheel c¹ made fast on its screwed end 2, and adapted to be actuated
either by hand or by power. The interior space between the ends of the framing
is sub-divided up into a series of compartments a, by partition plates d, threaded
upon side pins d', secured to the said ends a', by nuts d², and having distance
pieces or sleeves d³, threaded upon them for separating the said partition plates d,
the spaces between which contain a series of ball-receptacles or boxes d*, whereinto
the balls that fall through the taper gauge-gap e, between the adjustable gauge
rails f, drop.
The said gauging rails f, consist of bars or strips of hardened steel, set in a
perfectly horizontal plane and adjustably secured by means of the screws f¹, one
on either side of the gap a¹, in the framing top a², whereon the said rails rest
as a bed. Their opposed or inner sides f, are inclined or shamfered off towards

page_text: one another into hardened knife edges f³, which together constitute the gauging
or sorting gap e, the said rails being adjusted laterally away from or towards each
other by means of the sets of screws g, g', in such a manner that the gap at its
left hand end e¹, or that end furthermost from the feed, is wider to a very slight
extent than at the right hand end in which position the said rails are locked by
the screws f¹, thereby forming a gradually tapering slot or gap, along which the
balls to be gauged and sorted are moved and through which they are allowed to
fall into the boxes d, set below to receive them, on being brought to a part of
the gap of a greater width than their diameter.
The positive and defined motion which it is necessary to give to the balls in
order to ensure absolute uniformity in gauging is imparted to them through the
plate or blade h, located below the gauging cap and being guided in its rising,
traversing, falling and return movements, by vertical gaps 5, cut downwards from
the tops of the partition plates d, whilst its top edge is provided with a series
of semi-circular shaped notches or seatings h2, into which the balls being gauged
come and rest when lifted off the knife-edges f³, of the gauging rails and whilst
being traversed a further distance along the gauging gap.
The aforesaid movements are given to the said ball-conveyor plate or blade by
means of a series of cams i, i¹ and j, made fast, so as to turn with, the spindle c,
by set screws 3, the cams i, ¹, which respectively come at the right hand and left
hand ends of the said spindle, being the lifting cams, each having a throw corre-
sponding to the height to which the said plate h, is to be lifted, with their acting
faces, working upon the bottom edge h³, of the said plate, whilst j, is the
traversing cam for giving the forward movement by its face acting upon the
end, of the plate, whose backward or return movement is effected by a pair
of springs k, made fast at one end ¹, to the framing and at the other end to the
conveyor plate or to an attachment thereof.
This latter cam j, is made adjustable by being threaded over a sleeve c, (see
Figures 4, 5 and 6) one end of which carries the cam i, whilst the other end c5,
is screwed to take an adjusting ring c, by the rotation of which the said cam j,
is moved along the sleeve to which it is locked after adjustment, by the screw c.
These cams are so set relatively to one another that when the lifting cams,
which each have acting peripheral parts 2, 3, and pauses, are imparting a
lifting movement to the conveyor plate, the traverse cam, which has inclines j, j',
and pause flats 12, 13, is inoperative, and vice versa; that is, assuming that the
spindle is moving from left to right and that the parts 2, of each of the cams i
and ¹, are wiping under the edge h³, of the conveyor plate and gradually raising the
same, then its end h, is bearing against the pause or rest and inoperative part 2,
of the cam face j, so that during this time the plate makes no forward movement,
but so soon as its edge comes upon the rests 4, of the said cams i, i¹, whereby it is
for a time sustained in its elevated position, then the incline or acting part j¹,
of the cam commences to wipe past the end h, of the plate and traverse it forward
to the required extent. By the time that this movement is completed the flats
or drops 23, come under the plate, thereby allowing it to fall, the pause j³, of the
cam, meantime wiping inactive, past the end h, but so soon as the plate has
completed its fall and drops onto the rest ³, the receding incline j, comes against
its end, and allows it to be drawn backwards (into the position shown in
Figures 1 and 12) by the contracting force of the springs k.
The conveyor plate thus makes four movements to every rotation of the spindle,
viz., it first is lifted to a height corresponding to the full throw of the cams i, i¹,
and its top edge comes against the undersides of the balls supported by the knife
edges of the gauge rails, which balls fall into the semi-circular seatings h², and
are lifted clear of the said rail edges. The plate, with the series or row of balls
now carried by it, next makes a forward traverse to the extent approximating to
the diameter of one single ball, and then descends depositing or leaving the balls
gently again upon the edges of the rails, but in an advanced position to that which
they previously occupied and when the plate has descended to a sufficient extent

page_text: below and clear of the underside of the rails to allow any such balls as can do
so to fall through the gauging gap into the receptacles set to receive them, it
then makes a return traverse, back to its original position ready for the repetition
of the operation.
The balls to be sorted are placed in a hopper m, the reduced neck m³, of which
fits (and is made fast by a set screw m³) into the mouth of a socket m³, carried
by the attachment plate m³, secured by screws or otherwise to the top of the framing,
and from this hopper they fall down a throat or shoot m4, onto the bottom m³, of
the said socket from whence they are fed, one at a time into a vacant recess in
the top edge of the conveyor blade, which is at the time in its elevated position
and just about completing its forward movement, through the medium of an
arm n, carried by the supplementary plate n¹, lying within the recess h6, of, and
adjustably connected by screws n², to the said conveyor plate, with which it makes
a common movement. Thus the feed arm n, is lifted, by the upward movement
of the said plate h, through a slot m, in the socket bottom m5, and comes at the
back of the ball o¹, which last descended the throat (see Figure 10). Then the
plate traverses and the arm is carried forward with it to an extent equal to
the diameter of one ball, and this movement is communicated through the inter-
mediate balls o³, o³, to the ball o, lying in the mouth p¹, of the exit passage 1',
which is thereby expelled and drops into a vacant recess in the scolloped edge of
the conveyor plate and thus becomes one of the series which are being gauged.
The arm then drops with the plate and makes its return movement, clear of the
balls lying above the slot me. This movement is repeated once to every rotation
of the spindle, one ball being fed onto the conveyor each time it makes a forward
traverse and is deposited on the edges of the gauging rails on the plate falling,
and thus the feeding of the balls is maintained constant and pro rata with the
intermittent transportation of them along the gauging slot.
The exit end of the passage p, is fitted with an attached cover or hood p²,
whilst in order to prevent the balls jambing or sticking in the neck of the hopper,
it is provided with a loose and vertically movable false bottom q, having a central
hole q¹, coincident with the throat m4, and a depending stalk 92, adapted to be
raised, into the position shown in Figure 10 (so as to ease or loosen the balls and
facilitate their entrance, one by one, into the said throat) by the arm n, coming
against it, when making its upward movement through the slot m6, and when the
said arm moves forward in completing its feed stroke, it leaves the said stalk,
which then, together with the loose hopper bottom, fall by their own weight into
the position shown in Figure 12.
Those balls which are too large in diameter to pass between the gauging rails
or plate, on reaching, the end of the gauge gap, may fall onto an inclined tray,
lead or shoot, which passes through the opening a³, into a suitable receptacle set
to receive them, whence the balls thus sorted may be removed to another machine
adapted to gauge balls of a larger diameter.
For adjusting the gauge plate, the screws g, pass through screwed eyes g² in
the brackets g, and into nuts g, made fast to the said plates and constitute the
means for drawing the plates away from one another and increasing the width
of the gap, whilst the ends of the screws g¹, which pass through holes 95, in the
said brackets bear against the edges of the plates and when screwed inwards force
the plates with them and narrow the gauge gap to a corresponding extent.
In applying the above described machine for use in connection with the heating
and hardening of steel balls, we substitute the rails by gas tubes or Bunsen burners,
the blade being made of steel or iron, and the balls after being taken along the
length or a part of the length of the apparatus, are precipitated into a cooling
medium. By arranging the traverse of these balls to take place entirely enveloped
by the blue flame, we avoid oxidisation, and by dealing with each ball singly we
ensure equality or uniformity of hardening.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-

page_text: tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
First. A machine for gauging and sorting steel balls having a bed or framing
carrying a pair of separated gauging rails set in a horizontal plane and with a
slightly taper gauge gap between them, and having disposed in a vertical line
with the said gap and adapted to work between the sides thereof, a ball carrier or
conveyor blade or plate, which is raised, lifts the balls off the gauge rails, makes
a forward traverse and then again descends, depositing the said balls again upon
the rails but at a position in advance of that which they previously occupied
substantially as and for the purpose described and set forth."
Secondly. In a machine for gauging and sorting steel balls, having horizontal
gauge rails a graduated gauge slot and a guided ball carrier or conveyor plate,
as referred to in the first claim, imparting the compound movement to the said
blade by means of a series of cams or excentries upon, or in connection with, the
spindle or driving axle of the machine, whose acting faces are sa set or timed as
to first raise the plate, next traverse it forward to the desired extent and then allow
it to again fall below and clear of the gauging rails, the back traverse or return
movement being effected by springs or equivalent means, substantially as described
and set forth.
Thirdly. In ball gauging and sorting machinery, the combination with
horizontal gauge rails, a taper gauge slot and a rising, traversing and falling ball
conveyor or blade working in said slot of the ball feed mechanism in which the
balls are fed from the bottom of the throat or equivalent part of the hopper onto
the gauge rails or into the recesses of the conveyor blade, by means of an arm or
shoulder made as an extension of, or attachment to, the said blade, and adapted
to have a movement in common with it, substantially as and for the purpose
described and set forth.
Fourthly. In ball gauging and sorting machines, the combination with horizontal
gauge rails, a taper gauge slot and a rising traversing and falling ball conveyor
or blade or plate, of a ball-feed hopper provided with a loose false bottom or plate
having a passage coincident with the throat or shoot and adapted to be raised
or lifted vertically, in order to ease the balls and prevent them sticking or jambing,
by the feed arm coming against the end of, and lifting a depending stalk or
equivalent, part or making its rising movement, substantially as described and
set forth.
Fifthly. The general construction, arrangement and combination of the parts
of the mechanism for gauging and sorting steel balls and other spheres, less the
feed mechanism, substantially as described and set forth.

Seventhly. The method of hardening and heating steel balls by the herein-
described machine, in which gas burner tubes are substituted for the hardened
