788,483	Apr. 25, 1905	Head-Stock for Engine-Lathes	William Lodge	Cincinnati, Hamilton County, OH	Wood & Wood, patent attorneys Our invention relates to an improvement in the head-stock, spindle, and driving-pulley of an engine-lathe. In the conventional type of lathe, in which the cone-pulley has a bearing upon the spindle, there are two serious defects. First, the entire upward pull or strain of the belt on the cone-pulley is transmitted to the bearings in which the spindle or live-center is journaled, thus having a constant tendency to destroy the accuracy of the live-center; second, when the ordinary back gearing is in use, the cone pulley revolves directly on the spindle at a relatively higher speed, which results in great friction and wear on the spindle. These defects have been greatly augmented since the high-speed steel has come into use in which the cone-pulley is driven at a considerably higher speed. For instance, in the conventional lathe-head it frequently happens that the driving-pulley on the spindle is revolving at an excessive speed, say at two thousand revolutions per minute, while the spindle is revolving, say, at one hundred revolutions per minute, or sometimes the ratio is as high as sixty to one. This enormous friction on the internal bore of the driving-pulley and the external periphery of the spindle is very destructive to both, and it is impossible to keep the contacting bearing-surfaces of the pulley and spindle properly oiled without frequently stopping the machine. These defects are entirely obviated in this improvement.

799,973	Sep. 19, 1905	Speed Control for Machine-Tools	William Lodge	Cincinnati, OH	Wood & Wood - patent attorneys Our invention relates to a machine organization employing a rotary member and a rectilineal moving member driven from a common source, the object being to provide in combination therewith mechanism automatically actuated by the longitudinally moving member to change the speed of rotation of the rotary member. This is useful in machine tools wherever it may be desirable to change the speed of the rotary member relative to the carriage travel while operating upon a given job, the gradations of cutting speed being produced by the moving carriage. Our invention particularly and as exemplified by the drawings is applied to an engine lathe in which the tool-holding carriage causes a gradation of spindle-speed, whereby a given job is subjected to varying cutting speeds selected to best satisfy the character of the work. Our invention also provides means for cutting out the automatic arrangement and controlling the speed by hand devices located on the carriage. Our invention also provides means for automatically throwing out the automatic speed controlling mechanism at a predetermined point of carriage travel.

4,173,368	Nov. 06, 1979	Apparatus for Frictionally Gripping the Interior Surface of a Container During Handling by an Article Transferring Means	Paul J. Haverbusch	Cincinnati, Hamilton County, OH	Abstract: An apparatus employed with elements for transferring articles, such as open mouth containers like glass jars, is actuable to frictionally grip the interior surface of a container during handling. The apparatus includes a cup which forms a cylinder. A post member is mounted in the cylinder and depends downwardly to a point outside the interior of the cup. A piston is slidably mounted within the cup. A flexible element, such as four circumferentially spaced straps, is secured at one end to the piston and at the other end to the post member at a point outside the cup. A duct connects the cup to a controllable source of air pressure. An urging element, such as a coil spring disposed between the post means and the piston, normally urges the piston to the top of the cup. Upon application of air pressure to the cup, the piston is driven downwardly, and the straps flex radially outwardly so as to frictionally grip the interior surface of a container. When air pressure is removed, the spring drives the piston upwardly, and the straps draw inwardly to release the container. Preferably, the post member includes a threaded sleeve mounted to the cup and an adjustment screw which threads into and out of the sleeve to set the initial flexure of the straps to accommodate containers with different mouth sizes.
