Title: Improvements in and relating to the Brake Mechanism of Railway Wagons, Trucks, and like Vehicles.
Inventor: GREAVES THOMAS
Filed: 1904-01-07
Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 470. Greaves, T., and Rippeth, T. Jan. 7. Brakes.-In a railway-wagon brake, means are provided for operating the brake from either side and for taking up wear of the blocks. The ordinary hand-lever D, Fig. 2, on each side of the wagon, instead of being fixed to the ordinary weigh-shaft A, is fixed to a box C, which turns freely on the shaft and is formed with a toothed surface R, Fig. 3, which engages a corresponding surface on a clutch ring F. This ring is also loose on the shaft A but has a lug for engaging another lug on a clutch ring G fixed to the shaft. The lugs on the rings F, G are pulled together by a spring X, and the box C is held in engagement with the ring F by a spring W. An additional weigh-shaft H, Fig. 2, fitted with a hand-lever J at each side of the wagon, is arranged to actuate cams 0, one on each side, which engage lugs Y on the boxes C and release them from the rings F, thus putting both levers D out of use and allowing them to fall to their lowest position. On restoring the cams 0 to their inoperative position, the boxes C remain out of gear owing to the fouling of the clutch teeth. On lifting the brake lever D on the side from which it is desired to apply the brakes, the box C on that side re-engages and allows the brakes to be applied by depressing the lever D. To make the levers D right-handed on both sides, the lever D on one side is pivoted on a pin D', Fig. 5, above the shaft A and is formed with a crank-pin D<3> engaging a fork on the box C. When the brakes have become worn, the boxes C are adjusted to fresh positions relatively to the clutch ring F by lifting the levers D to their highest positions, disengaging the boxes C by means of the cams 0, and then allowing them to re-engage.

Granted: 1905-06-03
Abstract: 12,578. Corrigan, J. June 3. Winding-machines; stop-motions. -Relates to apparatus for winding yarn or thread into 'cheeses.' The end of the spindle which carries the bobbin is made hollow and split and a tapering pin or spindle is fixed in it ; the other end carries a cone pulley c, Figs. 1 and 2, adjustable along a screw, to allow of variation in speed, and driven by friction by a cone pulley a. The spindle is held in a bracket k<x> pivotally carried at the end of a lever gx which is also pivoted, and the cone pulleys are held in contact by a weight n acting at the end of the bent lever h<x>. The other end of the lever g<x> carries a projection i which is held under a catch connected with the box j carrying drop-wires k, through the eyes of which the threads pass. If a thread breaks, the corresponding wire drops and is caught by a revolving triangular cam l, the box is tilted, and the catch released, and the pulley c drops on to the brake m. A platform o on the frame holds the weight n, when the spindle drops, and takes the pressure off the brake. A lever r pivoted at s carries at its forked or slotted upper end a bracket u, at the centre of which is a slot v into which the arm w<x> of the traversing guide w fits ; at its lower end, a bowl t works in the groove of the rotating cam p. The bracket u and the guide w move on two parallel bars, or they may be fastened to studs working in brackets which may be united by the projection. A weight z is attached to the arm w<x> to hold the guide against the bobbin. If the thread breaks, a projection 3 on the lever g<x> comes down on to a platform 2 on the guide and tilts it backwards. The bracket u or the guides itself may be lengthened and provided with a bowl to work in the cam-groove. A tension arrangement is provided, consisting of two plates 4, 5, Fig. 5, grooved and tongued to fit one another and with rollers 6 for the thread to run over. The Provisional Specification describes a second arrangement in which two plates with bowls running loosely on pins can be inserted into each other or drawn out as required to alter the tension.

Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 23,493. McNaught, W. Oct. 31. Washing.--In a wool-wasbing machine in which the wool is moved by prongs carried by a frame a, Figs. 1 and 2, a supplementary frame consisting of rods l, i, also carrying prongs, is used to carry the wool up the inclined part r of the trough. The frame a, suspended by links d, receives a vertical reciprocating motion from, for 'example, a cam b through levers c and links d, while the supplementary frame receives a similar vertical motion from other levers c, c'. A horizontal reciprocating motion is imparted to the frame a by a crank e and connecting-rod g, and to the supplementary frame by a crank n and rods o suspended by a link h. The cranks e, n are set at an angle of 180 degrees to one another, so that when the frame a is active the other frame is inactive, and vice versÔ, the result being that the wool is fed to the rollers uniformly. The supplementary frame extends only the length of the inclined perforated platform r. The rod i of the supplementary frame, to which the rod o is attached, is formed with two loops o', Fig. 2, to prevent the frame from fouling the rods d. Two rods are sufficient for the frame a, but more may be used. The bottom of a pocket or chamber s, Fig. 4, in the trough q slopes or curves downwards to one side to collect the sediment, which is removed by a sluice door u ; this door may be mounted in any way, and is shown in Fig. 1 with an extension v pivoted at w. Partitions t in the pocket s prevent the liquid in the trough from surging up through the perforations of the platform r. Beneath the trough, and extending the whole length of the machine, the tank x and the side trough y may be arranged as usual in this type of machine. The settling-chamber with its partitions may be applied to machines of this kind having one or two frames. Specifications No. 15,082, A.D. 1893, and No. 7133, A.D. 1894, are referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Abstract: 27,971. Clegg, A. E. Dec. 21. Blowing and moulding bottles.-In a machine of the turn-over type, two turn-over frames g, Figs. 1 and 2, are mounted upon a horizontally-rotating bracket e carried by a frame a. On the bracket e being turned through half a revolution, the frames g are automatically inverted by a fixed bevel-wheel j, which engages bevel-wheels i fixed to them. The same movement opens and closes the finishing- mould halves y, which are carried by swinging levers z keyed to short shafts 1. To the opposite ends of the shafts 1 are attached short levers 2. the free ends of which engage face cams 5 rigidly fixed to the bracket e. The bracket e is rotated by the compressed-air gearing shown, the air being controlled by a foot-lever m, which also operates a stop-rod k. The halves of the neck mould are carried upon slides 34, Fig. 1, having racks which engage toothed arcs 35 connected with a handlever 15, by which the neck mould is opened and closed. Three nipples, either plain or screwed, are mounted upon sleeves 9, which are screwed to fit holes 11, Fig. 4, in a capstan 8, which can be rotated by toothed gearing connected with a handlever 12, in order to bring a fresh nipple into operation when one becomes overheated. A spring catch 40 holds the capstan 8 in place. The end of each sleeve 9 is suitably notched to engage the end of a screw 17, which is carried by the frame g and rotated by means of a handle 21 through toothed gearing. The nipple 10 is thus rotated and forced into the neck mould. A hollow plunger 43, Fig. 7, is contained in the sleeve 9 and nipple 10, and rests upon a rod 42, Fig. 2, which is raised and lowered by means of a hand-lever 44. In a modification, the nipples are carried upon a slide instead of a capstan. The parison may be formed and the air introduced for blowing in any well-known manner. The bottom of the bottle is flattened by being struck lightly with a disc 48, Fig. 1, mounted upon a rod 49 furnished with a rack which engages a toothed are 54. The shaft 51, upon which the arc 54 is fixed, is caused to rock by a chain 57 passing over a pulley 55 keyed to the opposite end of the shaft 51 and connected to a treadle 58.

Title: Improvements in and Means or Apparatus for the Formation of Spoil Heaps, Banks and the like.
Inventor: ROE JOHN PEARCE
Filed: 1905-04-06
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 7308. Roe, J. P. April 6. Rope railways.-In an aerial ropeway, used for' conveying material for the formation of spoil-heaps, banks, &c., the apparatus for charging or discharging the buckets at the dumping station consists of a frame which is caused to advance with or traverse the edge of the dump, and allows the elevated structures usually employed to be dispensed with. Fig. 2 shows the frame f in position on the edge of the dump e. The buckets d return to the charging-station b, after depositing their contents, without passing to the outward terminal b<1>. This is effected by transferring them from the out-going rope a to a shunt .rail g, round which they are carried to the dumping place and return rope a<1> by projections 48 on a moving chain 46, Fig. 10, or by rotating arms; the ropes a, a<1> are; for this purpose, guided by rollers h. The material may either be deposited -directly upon the spoil-heap or be directed thereon by dumping the buckets upon pivotally-mounted conveying-apparatus. The frame f is supplied with three or more lifting-shoes v, Fig. 3, connected to vertical supports r, with screw attachments q, actuated simultaneously by hand-gear, and also with oscillating legs 1, having shoes 3 and adapted to be swung by connecting-rods 4 attached to a horizontal disk 5. By operating the lifting-shoes v and advancing shoes 3 in a suitable manner, the frame can be raised step by step to increase the height of the damp, or moved forwards step by step to advance the dump, or these movements can be conveniently combined. The legs 1 are also provided with means for shifting the frame laterally so as to preserve the alinement of the guide sheavesh with the ropes a, a'. In a modified form, the shoes 3 are moved along screws placed longitudinally of the frame, and the legs r are adapted to be swung laterally so that the frame may traverse the edgeof the dump. As the bank e becomes extended, short trestles 51 are mounted at suitable intervals to support the cable. Other somewhat modified devices for moving the frame are also described.
