Title: Improvements in or relating to the Lubrication of the Wheels and Axles of Railway, Tramway and the like Vehicles.
Inventor: ABBOTT JAMES
IPC: B61F17/26
Filed: 1913-02-11
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 3567. Abbott, J. Feb. 11. Force-feed lubricators.-Oil is introduced into the wheel hubs of railway or tramway vehicles by stationary apparatus comprising a force pump actuated positively by wheels passing in either direction. The cylinder 1 of the pump is mounted on three crank-arms 9, 11 so as to move in a circular path. without altering its perpendicularity to the direction of motion of the vehicle. The crank-arm 9 is operated by bevel-wheels 25, 26 from a shaft 23 carrying a number of forked arms 22, engaged by the bosses 24 of passing wheels 8. The plunger 2 of the pump is moved outwards by a spring, sucking in oil through a pipe 30. The nozzle 5 of the plunger 2 comes into contact with a central opening in the wheel hub, and a stud 13 opens both a valve 6 in the opening and a valve in the nozzle 5. The plunger then moves with the wheel over a portion of its circular path, and is pushed into the cylinder 1, oil being thereby forced into the oil-box 7 of the wheel hub. The pump makes one complete revolution by the engagement of one of the arms 22 with a wheel. To prevent the arms 22 from moving too far by momentum, a plate 35 is pressed against them by a spring 34. In order that the arms may accommodate themselves to the wheel bosses, they may be made of spring metal, or the boss 32 may be tapered internally, allowing the arms to rock. The suction pipe 30 revolves with the pump, in an opening 31 in the cover of the oil-reservoir 28.

Granted: 1913-08-28
Abstract: 4274. Schweinburg, A. Feb. 20, 1912, [Convention date]. Rope grips.-The carriage or truck a of a suspended ropeway is started on an adjustable inclined track b so that when it reaches the hauling-rope d, it is moving at a speed equal to or slightly greater than that of the rope, and is then automatically coupled thereto. As shown in Fig. 1, the coupling is effected by a rail c. The truck is uncoupled and arrested by a similar rail c and incline e. In the mechanism shown in Fig. 2, the rail c is dispensed with, and the coupling is effected by the retardation of the track as it runs on the level. The grip may comprise screw-operated jaws controlled by a weighted arm i, normally supported on a lever carrying a spring pawl. A pulley f engaged by the hauling-rope d is coupled to a ratchetwheel g engaging the pawl. The truck, after descending the incline b, slows down until its speed is less than that of the rope, thereby causing the ratchet-wheel to rotate in a clockwise direction, releasing the lever i, and applying the grip.

Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 6214. Heaton, A. March 13. Folding.-In machines for folding and papering fabric preparatory to pressing, means are provided for avoiding the entire removal and reinsertion of the sheets between the first and subsequent pressing operations. The usual paper-holding table 4 is provided on one side of the rising and falling folding table 1 whereon the pile of fabric is supported on a trolly 6, but instead of a second paper-holding table, a table 5 similar to the table 1 is provided on the other side. After the fabric has been piled on the table 1 and pressed in a press 7, it is returned to the table 1 and the folds are then drawn one by one, with the papers, on to the trolly 8 of the table 5. Owing to the distance between the two tables, the folds are formed at different places. In operation, a length of fabric is drawn over with every alternate sheet, and the next sheet is then laid on this fold, the table 5 falling and the table 1 rising as the transfer is effected. The fully-pressed fabric is laid on the table 1 and the table 5 is raised to the level of the table 4, to receive the press papers as they are removed.
