IPC: B60G11/46
Filed: 1925-06-22
Abstract: 244,700. Mercier, J. G. Dec. 22, 1924, [Convention date]. Springs, arrangentent of; equalizing load on wheels and springs. - Vehicle suspensions comprise two resilient systems, one of which is the usual leaf spring 3 while the other 5 is of the pneumatic type, the springs 3, 5 acting in series when the axles are displaced parallel to themselves, while the spring 3 acts alone during rolling movements. The springs 3, 5 at each side of the vehicle are connected to the arms 6<1> of bell-crank levers keyed on the ends of a transverse shaft 6 rotatably mounted in bearings on the vehicle frame. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 (Cancelled), in which springs 3, 4 carried by a rotatable shaft 6 resist rolling movements which do not stress the spring 5 also carried by the shaft, and various modifications of this arrangement are described in which a spring is used in conjunction with a shaft or connected in such a manner with another spring system so that it is not affected by pure rolling movements. In another arrangement, part of an ordinary suspension system, such as the portions 5, Fig. 6 (Cancelled), of full cantilever springs, is put out of action, during pure rolling movements, the springs being carried by a rotatable shaft 6 which is held stationary during such rolling movements. In a further arrangement, an anti-rolling spring device is superposed on an ordinary pneumatic or other suspension. Such a device may comprise a rotatably mounted shaft carrying spring arms connected to the axle, or, as shown in Fig. 10 (Cancelled), it may comprise a resilient connection 10 between the arms 8, 9 of levers carrying the wheels, purely vertical displacement being resisted by a piston and cylinder device 5 interposed between .arms 8, 11 of the levers. Springs such as spring washers 12, Fig. 6, may be used to absorb lateral shocks. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Stacking mechanism for sheet material
IPC: B65H31/30
Filed: 1964-04-20
Abstract: 1,062,118. Delivering sheets. FMC CORPORATION. April 20, 1964 [May 8, 1963], No. 16367/64. Heading B6H. Bags are delivered in counted batches and arranged in overlapping stacks on an intermittently movable conveyer. The bags are delivered from a bag-making machine by co-operating belts 12, 13 and deposited on a stack B in a hopper 11. The front plate 31 of the hopper is supported between upstanding members 25 adjustable in position according to the length of the bags. The stack B is supported at its rear end on a ledge 35 and at its front end on the preceding stack. The completed stacks are received on an endless belt 16 passing around rollers 48, 49. The upstanding members 25 support two parallel endless chains 37 passing around gears 39, 40. Pivoted between the chains are two bars 46, 46a. The chains are rotated intermittently through 180 degrees by a drive shaft 70. The latter is driven through a one-revolution clutch after a predetermined number of bags have been fed to the stack. The shaft 70 also reciprocates a rack 85 co-operating with a gearwheel 96 loose on the shaft 51 of the roller 48. The gear-wheel 96 carries a pawl engaging a gear-wheel fast on the shaft 51. Thus drive is transmitted to the shaft 51 during the downward stroke of the rack only. In operation, the first 180 degrees of rotation of the shaft 70 causes the bar 46 or 46a to descend and compact the stack B. In the second 180 degrees of rotation, the bar 46 or 46a moves through a semicircle about the gear 40 and the belt 16 moves forward an equal amount. Thus the stack is maintained in a compact state and fed forwards a short distance beneath the front plate 31. During this movement, the belt is depressed to the position shown at 16<SP>1</SP>, undue stretching of the belt being prevented by movement of the roller 49 in slots 56. The one revolution clutch driving the shaft 70 is operated when a switch 77 is closed, Fig. 7. The operating arm of said switch has a roller 78 running on a disc 74 and is actuated whenever the roller engages a notch 75 in the periphery of the disc. The disc has a plurality of notches 75 with removable cover plates 76 and is rotated stepby-step for each bag produced. The number of bags in each stack may be varied by adjusting the number of notches exposed.

The tensions of springs 46 and 48 can be readily adjusted to provide a desired tension in the belt 34 are balanced. The tensions of springs 46 and 48 can be readily adjusted to provide a desired tension in the material W. Variations in material tension cause the arm 12 to rock thus varying the tension of the belt 34 and altering the effective diameter of the pulley 36, thereby increasing or decreasing the speed of the roller 18 to compensate for the tension variation in the material. In a modification, particularly for tensioning wire, cable, or other types of single or multiple strand material the material W, Fig. 4 is wound several times around a drum 56 driven through a pulley 60. A variable diameter pulley 62 drives the pulley 60 through the belt 34. The pulley 60 and drum 56 are supported on a shaft 54 carried by an arm 50 keyed to a shaft 14 rotatable in frame members 26, 28. The arm 50 can be rocked against the action of adjustable springs 46, 48 spaced apart on an arm 42 attached to the arm 50, the adjacent spring ends engaging a fixed abutment 64. The tension of the material W is maintained substantially constant in the same manner as the previous embodiment.

Abstract: 255,064. Weymann's Motor Bodies (1925), Ltd., (Assignees of Weymann, C. T.). July 7, 1925, [Convention date]. Wind-screens. - Relates to motor and like vehicle bodies of the kind in which, in order to facilitate access to or egress from the seating-space, a wind-screen, which is mounted to swing about an axis remote from one side of the body, is operatively connected at its free edge with a hinged door so that the screen is moved about its pivot as the door is opened or closed. According to the invention, the pivotal axis of the wind-screen is arranged to extend in an upward and rearward direction, and the operative connection between the screen and the door is adapted to accommodate the resultant upward movement of the free edge of the screen, while the door is allowed to open to a position approximately at right angles to the side of the vehicle body. In the construction shown, the wind-screen is formed of two sections 2, each of which is hinged to a centrally disposed pillar 21, and is connected by an anglepiece 34 to one half 11 of a divided dashboard, the parts 11 each pivoting about a tubular hingepin 15 receiving the pillar 21. The hinge-pin 15 is supported by brackets 14 at the apex of a triangular framework 6, 7, 8 mounted by brackets 9 on uprights 10. The connection between each part 11 and the door 24 comprises a telescopic tube 25 the outer portion of which is attached to a clip 29 pivoted to a bracket 28 on the part 11, while the inner portion is pivotally connected to a bracket 27 on the door, the tube 25 also passing through a vertically-slotted bracket 26 on the part 11. Owing to the fact that the hinge axis of the screen sections 2 and parts 11 is inclined, the slot in the bracket 26 allows the necessary up and down movement of the tube 25 as the various parts swing with the opening and closing of the door. An apron of canvas or leather extends between the transverse member 8 and the screen 2 or dashboard 11 to form a flexible cowl which folds as the door is opened, the apron being strengthened along the edge lying above the door by a resilient steel band sewn in or on the material or otherwise connected thereto and attached to the transverse member 8 so that the band bends upwardly at its central portion and carries the apron with it.

Abstract: 318,952. Miller, H. C., and Dainton, E. H. June 13, 1928. Fluid - pressure actuated and screw-and-nut actuated load. handling apparatus; jacks and the like. - A number of hydraulic jacks I for raising a vehicle body H from the chassis F at a loading bank Bare operated simultaneously at the same rate by a single ram 12, Fig. 6, which actuates plungers 10 in separate cylinders 9, one connected with each jack. The ram 12 may be driven by screw- and-nut gear, or as shown by hydraulic pressure. The pump and hydraulic cylinders are immersed in a tank 7, the pump being driven by a motor 42. The ram 12 forms a cylinder moving over a fixed plunger 13 to which oil is delivered at 30 by the pump through a non-return valve. The movement of the ram 12 is limited by relief ports 48 which pass beyond the cupleather 32. The plunger 13 is held in a frame comprising end-plates 16, 17 connected by stayrods 18. The ram 12 carries an end-plate 14 with wings 19 working over the stay-rods 18, and a head 11 connected with the plungers 10 of the cylinders 9. The plungers are returned by springs 21 to lower the jacks when a relief valve in the passage 30 is opened by turning the spindle 56, Fig. 2. The jacks are fitted with springs d to aid in lowering. The stroke of the plungers is limited automatically by trip gear. When an arm 64 on the head 11 engages a nut 65, which is adjustable on a rod 63, the rod 63 is moved and opens a relief valve between the pump delivery and the non-return valve in the connection 30. Any jack may be controlled separately, e.g. for tilting the load, by a relief valve 69. The cylinders 9 are of greater capacity than the cylinders of the jacks, and inlets 33 in the cylinders 9 are uncovered by the plungers 10 to admit oil from the tank at the end of the stroke. The heads of the jacks may be formed as cantilever brackets which can be turned aside. In operation, the vehicle is brought into position against guides G, and bearers K fitted with rollers and arranged between the body and the chassis are raised by the jacks to register with roller-ways D on the loading bank. The bearers may be removable or fixed to the vehicle body.
