189,725,999	Oct. 15, 1898	Improvements in Machine for Manufacturing Open or Reticulated Metal Work	Christopher William James	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #25,999 of the year 1897. Abstract: Relates to machines for reticulated metal work or expanded sheet metal between built-up corrugated and straight shear blades. The slide 1, actuated vertically by an eccentric shaft 15, carries at its lower end a saddle 2 capable of being reciprocated horizontally between each stroke of the machine to form the meshes. The slide 2 to which the separate blades 5 forming the corrugated blade are secured is movable by a roller 25 engaging deep cams 20 and 21 carried by a plate 19 on a shaft 18 driven at half the speed of the shaft 15. When stops or fingers 8 are used to regulate the feed of the sheet metal and therefore the distance between successive series of cuts, they project over the lower blade 6 between the separate blades 5, and they are reciprocated horizontally by a pin 27 on the saddle 2 which is always in engagement with a block 28 connected to the shafts 9, 10 carrying the fingers.
190,514,829	May. 03, 1906	Improvements in Planing, Shaping, or Slotting Machines with Reciprocating Strokes of Variable Length	Joseph Hartley Wicksteed	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #14,829 of the year 1905. Abstract: Planing, shaping, slotting, and similar machines with reciprocating beds are provided with springs of any elastic solid or fluid material to absorb the energy at the end of the stroke, such springs acting in conjunction with reversing-mechanism. The springs are arranged so that they may be simultaneously adjusted with the reversing-mechanism for variations of stroke, and may have relative adjustment so as to make the cushioning precede, coact with, or follow the reversal of the stroke. Tappets C<2> on the table engage cushioning and reversal springs E', K<2>, mounted on screw rods G<2>, J<2>, the former being fixed and transferring the compression of its spring to the framework of the machine, and the latter admitting of slight movement to alter the position of links O<2>, P, &c. communicating with switches, clutches, or belt forks for reversing the travel of the bed. The thrust of the cushioning-spring E' is taken by a carrier D', shown to larger scale in Fig. 3, provided with a nut F<2> engaging the screwed rod G'. The carrier also passes round the sleeve N' which forms an abutment for the reversing-spring K<2> and encloses the reversing-rod J<2>. The sleeve is feathered into the carrier and is formed at the end with a nut engaging the rod J'. The screwed rods have equal pitches of opposite hands and are connected at the ends by pinions M<2>, L<2>, the latter being connected with its rod by a clutch g<2>, so that on turning the squared end of the rod J<2> both springs move to an equal extent for adjusting the stroke, while, if the clutch g<2> be put out of action and the rod J<2> turned, the spring K<2> may move to a limited extent to bring it above, level with, or below the cushioning-spring E<2>. Instead of the position of the springs being adjusted to vary the stroke, the tappets may be adjusted as shown in Fig. 5. In this case, one rod D<2> does duty both for reversing and cushioning, the reversal being obtained through cams Q<2>. In the latter case, a weak spring e<1>, Fig. 6, may be used to cause reversal before cushioning, and a spring p, Fig. 5, may be used if reversal is required after cushioning. In another modification, there are two reversal rods and only one spring which comes into action whichever way the table is travelling.

190,605,511	Jan. 10, 1907	An Improved Mode of Arranging Worm Driving Gear	Christopher William James	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #5511 of the year 1906. Abstract: Relates to a method of arranging worm gearing. The driven shaft B, Figs. 1 and 2, has a number of worm-wheels A', A<2>, &c. which are driven by a corresponding number of worm shafts C<1>, C<2>, &c. The ends of the worm shafts are enclosed in thrust bearings D<1>, D<2>, the end thrusts being balanced by an arrangement of levers H', H', G. The lever G is pivoted at F and secured by a bolt f to the bed - plate. In the collar thrust bearing shown in Fig. 1, the half-bushes D<4> are nested in the sliding sleeve D<2>, which in turn is fitted in the bed-plate or headstock E of the driving- gear. Arrangements of levers are also deecribed for three or four worm shafts so that each worm similarly acts as the support or abutment of the other. In an alternative hydraulic compensating arrangement, the ends of the sleeves D<1> &c. project into a pressure box G, Fig. 5, kept full of oil or other liquid by means of a pump &c. through the pipe G'. The arrangements may be used with racks in lieu of worm-wheels, and they may be applied to planing-machines.

190,601,893	Jan. 10, 1907	Improvements in Apparatus for Changing the Speeds and or Reversing the Motion of Belt or Rope Driven Mechanism	Joseph Hartley Wicksteed	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #1893 of the year 1906. Abstract: Relates to an arrangement for changing the speed and revers ing the motion of belt, rope, and chain driven mechanism by raising or lowering the pulleys to adjust the tension of the belts &c. In Figs. 1 and 2 are shown a series of pulleys or drums A', A', A<3>, mounted on arms B<1>, B<2>, B<3> pivoted about the shafts C<1> C<2>, C<3> and driven at various speeds through suitably-sized drums by motors H<1>, H<2>, H<6>. Each of the pulleys A' ... is adapted to drive the shaft F through the belts G<1> ... The ends of the arms B<1> ... are supported by rods L<1> ... which are actuated by cranks, cams, or eccentrics K' .. mounted on the shaft J, so that, by rotation of a wheel M, any one belt may be tightened and the remainder slackened to give a particular speed or a reversal. The arms BI ... may be pivoted about the same shaft, or arranged to point towards each other, as shown in Fig. 1, a balance weight b being provided in this case. The eccentric-rods L<1> ... used for raising and lowering the pulleys may be provided with a screwed adjustment l<3>, Fig. 1, and the eccentrics, when used in pairs, may be balanced on either side of the eccentric shaft and, in further modifications, connected by a chain led over suitably - supported pulleys, or by a balance beam. Each pulley arm may also be actuated from the shaft J by a pair of toggle-arms. The mechanism is also described in connexion with a planing-machine. In this application, shown in Fig. 4, the rocking shaft J carries a pinion M<2> actuated by a curved or straight rack M' connected to the starting- handle M by the lever N<1> and rod N<2>. The shaft J is also adapted to be actuated, through the rack M, by some suitably-moving part of the machine the speed and direction of which are to be changed. The motor H on the shaft E drives the pulleys A', A<2> mounted on the pivoted arms B<1>, B<2> through suitable spur gearing, and, in place of the stopped driving-pulley A<2>, a simple pulley with spur gearing as shown in Fig. 4 may be arranged above the driven shaft F. The gearing may also be arranged beneath the table.
190,627,029	Jul. 18, 1907	An Improved Mode and Apparatus for the Self-registration of the Stresses and Strains of a Specimen in a Testing Machine	Joseph Hartley Wicksteed	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #27,029 of the year 1906. Abstract: Testing strength of materials.- Relates to means for obtaining a diagram on a testing-machine of the steelyard type free from the effects of inertia due to the travelling poise. The steelyard arm is over-weighted and balanced by a spring, so that throughout the test the steelyard is in equilibrium. The longer arm B, Fig. 1, has the knife-edge B<1> supported by a spring H fitted on two cylindrical ends H<3>, H<4>, Fig. 5, in which are centrally screwed eyebolts H<5>, H<6>, which allow adjustment and ensure true axial working of the spring. A connection J from the lower attaching-shackle B<2> supports a carrier K for the pencil K<1>, the diagram drum L being driven by a flexible connection M arranged, as shown in Fig. 1, for a tension test. The eye-bolts H<5>, H<6> are irremovably attached by means of pins H', H<2> to shackles B<2>, G<2> as shown. An arm P, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, prevents variation in the length of the connection M due to play between the standards A<1>, G. The balancing-spring and diagram device may be at opposite ends of the machine, or both may be arranged at the end of the short arm ; or the balancing-spring may have a flexible connexion adapted to rotate the diagram drum, the pencil being travelled by the connection M. Fig. 7 shows the application of the device to a torsion test, the flexible connection M being wrapped round the cylindrical mounting M<2> of the specimen, or round the specimen itself if circular. For obtaining a " polar" diagram, the chart is carried on the axis of the specimen, and a longitudinally-moving rod carrying the pencil has a light returning-spring and is operated by a flexible connection to the end of the steelyard. Reducing - gear may be employed for altering the scale of the diagram.
190,717,289	Apr. 23, 1908	An Improved Mode or System of Producing Rolling Motions, applicable to Wheel Gear Cutting, and like, Machines, Requiring Circumferential Work of an Inter-related Character	Robert Arthur Bruce	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #17,289 of the year 1907. Abstract: A system of link-work is applied to produce a true rolling motion between a cylindrical and a plane surface, and the system is stated to be applicable for making or treating toothed gearing by milling, or shaping, or by grinding with reciprocating or revolving tools, and for embossing and for printing upon cylindrical or plane surfaces. In one arrangement, members D, E, F, Fig. 2, form a compound slide, and the member D carries an arbor A which supports a master wheel B and a blank b, and a slide C<3> carrying a worm, screw, or rack C. In the case of a worm or screw, a dividing- apparatus may be attached. A link G is centred on a pin C<4> carried by the slide C<3> with its axis in the plane of rolling of the master wheel, and is slotted to receive a block A<1> on the arbor A and a block on a pin H carried by the member F. The axis on the pin H is in a plane tangential to the blank b. If the slide C<3> is the fixed or anchored portion of the linkage, motion of the slide D in the direction of the arrow will produce a true rolling of the blank b with respect to the plane pp- In a modification the fixture may be the slide D, and in a further modification the pin H. In another arrangement, the slide C<3> moves on ways which are not parallel to the ways connecting the slides D, E, and the link G is replaced by a system of three links. Fig. 3 is an example of the mechanism as applied to cutting worm-wheels. The blank b, master wheel B, and arbor A are carried by the slides D, E, and the slide E is adjustable on the slide F by a screw f<1>, this adjustment being the only one necessary to set the machine for different blank diameters by bringing the central pitch circle into position over the fixed pin h<2>. The link G is shown fitted with worm gearing G' for oscillating the system. When arranged for cutting spur-wheels, the fly-cutter saddle is replaced by the slotting - saddle H<3>, Fig. 3A. More than one cutter may be used, and the apparatus' may be arranged for continuous working, in which case the worm C is given a continuous rotary movement in relation to the cutter speed in known manner. If cutting-tools are mounted on an arm on the arbor A, racks may be cut.
191,101,586	Jan. 11, 1912	An Improved Mode of, and Means for, Tightening and Slackening Driving-bands, Belts, or Ropes	Joseph Hartley Wicksteed	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #1586 of the year 1911. Abstract: Relates to improvements on the invention d escribed in the parent Specification wherein a pulley E keeps the belt at driving tension and is locked by positioning a lever on its dead-centre, a n d consists in means for throwing the pulley out of gear at predetermined times. As applied to an intermittent drive for the feed-motion of a planing- machine, the pulley E is lifted into operation by a lever Q fitted with a releasing-pawl Q<1>, and is carried by a frame C loosely mounted on the axle D. The axle D also carries a disk O, which is operated by chain gearing from the driven shaft b and carries tripping-pieces O<1> ... O<4>, which, when turned outwards, lift the pawl Q' and allow the pulley E to fall back from the belt F. The frame C works in conjunction with a brake R to stop the pulley B more rapidly when the belt ceases to drive.
191,105,422	Apr. 04, 1912	Improvements in Machines for Drilling and Boring Metals.	Christopher William James	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #5422 of the year 1911. Abstract: A radial-arm drilling- machine has a column B rotatably mounted in the base and carrying a vertically adjustable radial arm A which is continued rearwardly at A<3> to form a support for a motor C in a fixed counterbalancing position. The horizontal driving shaft D from the motor passes forwards through a narrow slot A<4> in the column. The radial arm is provided with a clamping- sleeve A<2> and has a swivelling connexion at E operated through a worm-wheel E', and the drill-head F is swivelled to the saddle A<5> so that the spindle can be adjusted to any angle and position. The saddle slides on the side of the radial arm and the actuating-shaft D passes through the standard and the centre of the arm. The standard is received in the base on a floating ball bearing N, n, O and is rotated by a worm Q' carried by a casing on the standard gearing with a worm-wheel Q fixed to the pedestal of the machine and locked in position by means such as screws M, P. In. modifications, flanges on the standard are mounted in fixed ball bearings.
191,121,379	Aug. 08, 1912	Improvements in Testing Machines	Christopher William James	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #21,379of the year 1911. Abstract: Testing physical qualities of materials.-Relates to machines of the steelyard type, and comprises arrangements for enabling specimens of different sizes to be dealt with at a convenient height above the floor level. A fixed bed-plate B carries four grinding-pillars A', A<2>. A<3>, A<4> supporting an entablature C. On two of the pillars slides one cross-head L<1>, through which pass two screwed shafts K', K<2> engaging the cross-head for the purpose of moving it up and down as required, by means of gearing and a motor C', or by hand. The screwed rods move freely on the entablature. The rods K<1>, K<2> are attached to a second cross-head L<2> carrying a flat for one knife-edge of a steelyard J, the other knife-edge of which bears against a flat G<2> attached to a hydraulic cylinder G' secured to the bed-plate B. Guided on the other two pillars A<2>, A<4> are two uprights D', D<2> notched to take at any height a crosshead E which can be locked to them, the uprights being connected to a similar adjustable cross - head F attached to the hydraulic ram. The stress is applied between the cross-heads E and L'. The steelyard J is linked to a weighing - steelyard at a convenient height. The weight of the floating frame formed by the screwed shafts K', K<2>, cross-head L<2>, and an upper connecting-piece M<2> is counterbalanced by a lever M. The pinion C<5> for turning the screwed rods is elongated so as to remain in gear in all positions of the floating frame.
191,211,413	May. 14, 1913	Improvements in Gearing for Driving and Reversing Planing Machines for Metals	Christopher William James	, England	Note: Early English patents (pre 1916) were numbered by the year and started at patent #1 at the start of each year in January. The patent # used in DATAMP represents the year of issue of the application and the patent #. This patent is #11,413 of the year 1912. Abstract: A planing- machine drive consists of gearing by which the lay shaft of a changespeed box is used to give different cutting speeds while the main shaft gives a direct constant return speed drive, or to give different cutting speeds on both forward and return strokes when d o u b l ecutting. The main shaft A driven by a pulley J passes through the change-speed box E and carries a pinion A<1> on its end in gear with a pinion A<2> loosely mounted on an independent shaft C which also carries a double clutch portion D fixed to it and another loose pinion B<2> on its other end. The lay shaft B is adapted to be driven at different speeds and carries at its forward end a pinion B<1> in gear with the loose pinion B<2>. The pinions A', A<2> are proportioned to give a quick return drive to the shaft C which, through worm gearing G, G', drives the main spindle G<2>, In a modification, Fig. 4, in which the reversal can be effected at different speeds for cutting in both directions, the lay shaft has a further pinion B<1'> adapted to drive at different speeds a pinion A<2'> on the independent shaft C through an idle pulley which is mounted at one end of a lever K, while the main shaft pinion A<1> is mounted at the other, so that both pinions cannot be in mesh at the same time.
