Milling Machine
|
Fay Oscar Farwell |
Dubuque, Duduque County, IA |
Abstract:
My invention relates to milling-machines, with special reference to those having a horizontally-moving table upon which the work to be milled is chucked, and has for one of its leading objects to so set the milling-head and prov ide it with such means that it will have a universal movement in both a horizontal and vertical plane, whereby the work chucked upon the table and having a bevel or other angular surface may be operated upon at the different angles without rechucking the work upon the table or without providing other and special forms of cutters with angles especially adapted to attack the different angles of the work upon the table. A further purpose and thought is to adapt a milling-machine for cutting spiral grooves in drills, reamers, and that class of tools without swiveling or changing the position of the horizontally-moving table upon its base and have the work travel in the line of the cutters by arranging the cutters in the milling-head, whereby they will attack the work upon the horizontally-moving table at any angle.
Claim:
In a milling-machine, a supporting cross-rail, a saddle which is moved back and forth thereon, and an intermediate saddle which moves upon a horizontal curved line, combined with a bracket which is adapted to be revolved upon the saddle, and a spindle journaled in the bracket. |

Variable Speed and Reversing Mechanism
|
Fay O. Farwell |
Dubuque, Dubuque County, IA |
Abstract:
My invention relates to variable-speed and reversing mechanism, and has for its object to provide a simple and efficient driving mechanism for use in connection with motor- vehicles and other machines in which the power, speed, and direction of rotation of the driven member are subject to frequent change, while the energy and speed of the motor-shaft are maintained practically constant, the changes in speed ,and direction in the driven member being effected by differential gearing connecting said member with the motor-shaft and with a speed-varying gearing driven from said motor-shaft.
Claim:
A variable-speed and reversing mechanism, comprising a driving-shaft, a hollow shaft geared thereto, a second shaft upon which said hollow shaft is mounted, a revoluble frame on said second shaft, a differential planetary-gear train connecting said frame with the hollow shaft and with said second shaft respectively, a gear from which power is taken connected to said casing, and means operated from said driving-shaft for varying the speed of said second shaft, whereby the frame and power-gear may be driven in either direction and at a variable speed. |
