Inventor: KRANTZ HERMANN
IPC: D06C15/10
Filed: 1913-03-25
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 7041. Krantz, H. March 25. Folding.-Cloth-pressing plants having a table rising and falling between floors to receive folds of a number of fabrics secured together and papered, are provided with means to facilitate the removal of the pile of fabrics from one section of the plant to another. The fabrics are piled on wheeled tables 7 which run on rails on the folding-heads 3 and on the heads 6 of the presses 4, and on wheeled travelling carriages 8 which are movable to and fro between the sections. The table 7 may be locked to the heads by a racked spindle 9 which may be raised into a recess 10 by actuation of a handle 17, through bevel and tooth gearing. To prevent operation of the folding-ram until the table is locked, the shaft 12 has a pinion 18 gearing with a rack on an horizontally moving rod 19, which, when the table is unlocked and the ram in its lowest position, enters an opening 21 in the valve-rod 20 of the ram. Similar means are also provided to lock the tables to the travelling carriage. Fig. 4 shows a carriage provided with locking-rods 22, 23 for two tables, the handles 27, 32 being mounted one fixed, one loose, on the same shaft 24, the latter being geared to a pinion on the other shaft 25. To prevent unlocking except when the carriage is correctly positioned opposite the various sections of the plant, openings 28 are provided at these positions into which the locking-rods 22, 23 are lowered to unlock the tables. The carriage 8 is moved along between the sections by a handlever 36 on a shaft 35 in a pillar 34, the shaft 35 being chain-connected to the axle 40. The locking-spindles may alternatively be carried on the tables.

Title: Improved Construction of Safety Appliance for Lifts.
IPC: B66B5/18
Filed: 1913-09-19
Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 21,218. Waygood & Co., R., and Carey, R. F. Sept. 19. Catch gear and like safety retaining-mechanism. - Safety suspending - apparatus for lifts comprises gripping-appliances on the cage which engage the guides, and are operated through the medium of travelling and other ropes when the speed exceeds a certain limit, or when the hoisting-rope stretches or breaks. Special forms of grips which also form guides are described. As shown in Fig. 10, the member 3 fitted to the cage is hollowed out to receive guide-blocks 7 which form the grips, and also to receive right and left hand screws 8, secured to which are levers 9 connected together by members 10. Connecting the members 10 on opposite sides of the lift is a cross floating shaft 21, Fig. 5, which is screwed at its ends to engage the members 10. A toothed wheel 22 is keyed to the shaft 21 and together with a sleeve 25 screwed on the shaft forms bearings for a drum 24. Friction disks 23, 26 are splined to the shaft and drum respectively, and are pressed together against the wheel 22 by a spring 27, which bears at its other end against the sleeve 25, by means of which the tension of the spring may be adjusted. A cap 28 and lock-nut 29 prevent tampering with the mechanism after it has been adjusted. The wheel 22 is normally held by a shrouded pawl pivoted to a spring- pressed plunger mounted in a casing bolted to the cage. To the drum is connected one end of a rope 41, Figs. 2 and 3, which, after being coiled on the drum, passes between pulleys 42 to a shackle 43 on an endless rope 44 passing over top and bottom pulleys 45, 46. The rope 44 passes between a fixed abutment and the end of a screw 56, an arm 54 on which is drawn down by a spring which tends to cause the rope to be gripped. The arm is normally held up by a trigger 53, which is connected to a governor 50, Fig. 2, and by a rope 59, Fig. 3, to the balance weight 61. If the hoisting - rope lengthens or breaks, or if the speed of the cage is excessive, the trigger is released and the rope 44 gripped. The rope 41 is thus pulled out and the shaft 21 rotated, causing the grips to be applied to the guides. The floating shaft permits all the grips to be applied to the same extent, and the friction disks allow the drum to slip when the grips are applied to a predetermined extent. Three kinds of guide grips are described for rectangular, round, and triangular guides respectively. Fig. 16 shows the first form which has stepped parts to engage one another, the plain surfaces a engaging the guides. In the second form, the gripping-pieces are hollowed to engage a round guide. In the third form, a shaft 8 having three eccentrics passes through a sliding frame 7 which grips the back of the guide, as shown in Fig. 14. The middle eccentric presses a V-block against the face of the guide.
