Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.

Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
759,111 May. 03, 1904 Variable Speed Gear for Motor Diven Lathes or Other Tools Israel H. Johnson Jr. Philadelphia, PA Abstract:
The object of my invention is to provide means whereby a lathe or similar tool can be driven from an electric motor through change gearing, which can be quickly and accurately shifted so as to vary the speed of the spindle without altering the speed of the armature shaft of the motor.

While my invention is especially designed to be used in connection with an electric motor, it will be understood that it can be used in connection with any suitable motor in which it is desired that the speed of the main shaft of the motor should not be varied.

7. The combination of a driven shaft, a sleeve thereon, a gear on the sleeve, a driving-shaft, a pinion thereon, a two-part casing, a bolt and handled nut for clamping the two parts of the casing together, a circular bearing-disk mounted in the casing and having an annular rib thereon fitting an annular recess in the casing, an annular rack on the bearing-disk, a pinion with which the rack engages, a handled shaft for turning said pinion, a spring-pin carried by the casing and arranged to enter notches in the bearing disk, a series of shafts extending through the bearing-disk, a gear-wheel on each end of each shaft, the said gear-wheels varying in diameter, the driving-shaft being eccentric to the bearing-disk so that only one shaft of the bearing-disk will be in motion when power is transmitted from the driving to the driven shaft, substantially as described.
807,274 Dec. 12, 1905 Gearing for Lathes or Other Tools Israel H. Johnson Jr. Philadelphia, PA Abstract:
My invention relates to the feed mechanism of the tool-carriage of a lathe or other tool in which the speed of the moving part has to be varied according to the work.
The object of my invention is to make a compact and-easily-operated change-gear by which any number of changes can be made very quickly and without detaching the gearing from the lathe.
