Abstract: 16,015. Baxter, W. H. July 5. [Cognate Application, 26,705/10.] Moving - container apparatus. -In machines for washing stone &c. a n d mixing it with cement or other substances to form concrete or macadam, the stone is received in a pool of water at the lower end of an inclined rotary container and is elevated by a screw blade attached to the container to the upper end of the container, which is formed as a mixing - chamber. Special means are provided for passing the stone into the mixing-chamber and retaining it there, and the improvements are stated to be applicable to the machines described in Specifications 17,825/00, and 5070/07, [both in Class 82, Metals and alloys], 22,595/08, 220/09, [Class 107, Roads &c.], and 22,071/10. The container a is formed with an enlarged upper end b, which may be conical as shown or cylindrical, serving as a mixing -chamber. The stone is washed in a pool of water at the lower end of the container and is carried up by the blade p, which is perforated to allow the dirty water to drain off. As the stone approaches the upper end of the cylindrical portion of the container, it is met by cement and sand supplied through a central pipe 3, and the whole mass is conveyed into the mixing-chamber. Figs. 4 and 6 show one means for passing the materials into the chamber b. At the entrance of the chamber is fixed a partition 8 provided with central openings 13 and blades 9 lifting the material thereto. The size of the openings 13 can be controlled by means of doors mounted on a spindle passing through a bearing 18 in a boss in the partition 16. Another device for the same purpose is shown in Figs. 13 and 14, and consists of a ring 8 provided with openings 10, beside which are hinged or fixed plates 11, 12. The plate 11 is plain, and the plate 12 is perforated and formed of angle-iron. The material may be fed into the cylinder a through a hopper such as that described in Specification 8503/01, [Class 117, Sifting &c.].

Abstract: 28,117. Simpson, J. Dec. 3. Making wire netting; coiling.-In a machine for making wire netting, of the type in which the lower sets of halfpinions are replaced by notched disks and oscillating levers for engaging the swift wires, the levers are operated from the upper traverse bars, and the two series of bobbin spindles are connected to one set of half-pinions by Hooke's joints. The traverse bars 8, which are reciprocated by a tappet 24 on a disk 23 on the driving-shaft 2 engaging antifriction rollers 29, 30 on the bars, are connected together by a lever 25 on a rocking spindle 26, which carries a lever 31 connected by a link 32 to the operating bar 33 of the oscillating levers 34, through which the swift wires pass. The levers 34 are pivoted on a support 35 and transfer the swift wires from one series to the other series of notched disks 37, 38, Fig. 4, which have squared recesses to receive the ends of the bobbin spindles 40, by which they are rotated, and on which the bobbins 39 are mounted with ball bearings 44. The bobbin spindles are driven from the half-pinions 5, through sliding coupling pieces 41 and Hooke's joints 42, and the pinions are rotated by a rock-bar 7 reciprocated by a slotted bracket 27 and a roller 28 adjustable on the disk 23 to regulate the length of the twists. The taking-up roller 13 is operated from the driving-shaft 2 through spur gearing 14, 15, which drives a countershaft 16 coupled by bevel-gearing 17, 18 to the shaft of a guideroller 10 connected by spur gear to two other guide-rollers, one of which drives the roller 13 by a belt. A second or third machine may be superimposed upon the single machine.

Abstract: 5169. Thouviot, J. C. March 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Adjusting height of body from ground.-A hand-truck for stacking goods is provided with a tipping platform and with means for raising the platform before tipping. The main frame comprises shafts a connected by cross-bars, and the platform e is formed with trunnions e<2> sliding in guides n fixed to the shafts. Forked legs k are pivoted to the shafts a towards the rear, and similar legs are pivoted to brackets i fixed to the shafts at the forward end. In the lower position of the main frame, Fig. 1, these legs are held up out of use, and the truck rests on fixed legs d and on wheels c<1> carried by an axle c mounted in bars g pivoted to the legs d. The forward end of each bar g bears against a projection i<1> on the corresponding bracket i. To raise the main frame to the position shown in Fig. 5, the legs j, k are lowered, and, with the truck resting on the legs k, the rear ends of the shafts are pressed down until the legs j swing into the vertical position. The rear ends of the shafts are then raised until the bars g take the vertical position and bear against stops d<1> on the legs d. A curved strut rod h pivoted to the bars g rests at its forward end on stops m on the legs to hold the parts against folding. To lower the main frame, a chain l is pulled to raise the legs k, which carry projections m<1> to raise and release the struts h so that the parts can be collapsed.

Abstract: 18,318. Waeyenbergh, L. van. Aug. 12. Acting on flat sides of drums; force - transmitting mechanism.-A brake for railway vehicles comprises a pair of blocks pressed against the opposite flat sides of a drum secured to the axle, by means of an arrangement of equalizing-levers connected to the brake cylinder by other levers having adjustable fulcra for carrying the braking-force in accordance with the load on the vehicle. Fig. 1 shows one form, in which a pair of blocks 8 are pressed against opposite sides of a drum 1, 2 by means of levers 12, which are pivoted at one end to a rod 14 sliding in a bracket 15 secured to the vehicle, and are connected at the other end by links 16 to a T-shaped lever 18, the third arm of which is connected by a rod 19 to a lever 22, which has an adjustable fulcrum 25 and is operated by the brake cylinder 20. In a modification. the brake blocks 7, 8, Fig. 7, are operated by levers 41, 42, both ends of which are mounted to slide in relation to the vehicle, and are connected to triangular levers 48 as shown, the levers 48 being connected by rods 49, 51 to a lever 50, which is connected to the lever 22 described above. In the actual arrangement shown in Fig. 7, there are two brakes mounted, one in each wheel, on the same axle, the two levers 50 being connected to the lever 22 by links 54, lever 55, and rod 56. Energy-absorbing elements.-The brake drum may consist of halves 1, 2, Fig. 1, provided with central flanges which are bolted together within the drum, the bolts being manipulated through peripheral openings 5.

In the first form, the depression of a key moves a bar 8, Figs. 3 and 4, longitudinally, causing a series of contact springs 11, held down by springs 21, to slide over a series of contacts connected to the appropriate members of a field of lamps In the second form, each key 4 is connected to an upright 35, Figs. 5 and 8, mounted on a transverse foot-plate 32 pivoted at 33 and provided with two series of slots 39, 39<a>. Under all the foot-plates run a set of toothed bars 37 sliding in slots in guide-bars 37<a>, each bar 37 having a switch-member 11<a> adapted to engage contacts 16<a>. When a key is depressed, its foot-plate rocks and engages the teeth on those of the bars 37 not placed under a slot in that foot-plate, so operating the proper switches 11<a>. In order to give a quick break, the switch member 43, Fig. 9, is gripped by the fixed spring contacts till, in the position shown in dotted lines, it strikes the pin 46, when it is released from the contacts and flies back under the influence of the spring 44. In order to allow each key to control more than one group of lamps, the keys and foot-plates are mounted in a frame 26, which can be made to slide trans. versely on rods 27 so as to bring different series of slots 39, 39<a> in register with the bars 37, by means of a handle 30 actuating a cam. A special foot-plate may be provided having an uninterrupted series of slots with pivoted masks, so that it can be set to operate any desired combination of switches.
