Title: Improvements in or relating to Massage Apparatus.
Inventor: JOHANSEN JOHANNES CHRISTIAN
IPC: A61H23/02
Filed: 1913-04-29
Granted: 1914-07-29
Abstract: 10,057. Johansen, J. C. April 29. Massage.-In a massage apparatus, the driving-shaft is in two parts E, G, rigidly coupled together, and a removable tool-carrier support H is adapted to receive interchangeable tools or tool-carriers, with or without the interposition of differential transmission gearing. In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 1, the shaft E is operated by ordinary gearing C, and the head H is fixed in a housing D by means of a screw I &c., and provides a bearing for the driven shaft G. A tool-carrier 1 is eccentrically pivoted on the head by means of a screw 5, and is oscillated by means of a crank-pin 4 on the shaft engaging a slot in the carrier, so that a rubbing movement is imparted to the tools T. A fly-wheel 6 or an eccentric weight is mounted on the shaft G. Fig. 5 shows a tapping-tool T<1> mounted in a radial recess in the head H, and the inner end of its stem is in the path of the oscillatory movement of the carrier 1. A spiral spring embracing the stem and abutting on a shoulder thereon tends to draw the stem away from the carrier. A movable sleeve 15 limits the movement of the tool T'. Two eccentric weights 16, 17 are mounted on the shaft G, the upper one rigidly, the lower one loosely, and the two weights are connected by a spring- actuated pin 19 in the lower one engaging one of a series of holes in the upper one, thus enabling the eccentricity to be varied. In a modification, these weights are enclosed in a housing extending from the head H, and provided with openings which are normally closed by a rotatable sleeve on the housing. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the head H carries a housing 24 closed at the top by a piece 25 in which is pivoted a shaft 28 connected to a toolcarrier 32, and oscillated by a crank-pin 4 on the shaft G engaging a cylindrical sliding member 30 in the end of the shaft 28. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the head H carries a case 33 enclosing a differential gear train 34, 35, 36 driven from a gear-wheel 37 on the shaft G. One of the tool-carriers 38 is mounted on the shaft of the planet-wheel 36, and the other is driven by the wheel 35, so that they are driven at different speeds. In a modification of this form, motion is transmitted from the shaft G to the tool-carriers through wormgearing. In another form, the head H carries a housing in which is mounted a large wormwheel driven by a worm on an extension of the shaft G. The worm-wheel carries a disk provided with a crank-pin, which engages a slot in one end of a connecting-rod; the other end of the rod is secured to a shaft on which is rigidly mounted a tool-carrier. In a modification of this form, a slotted connecting-piece is interposed between the connecting-rod and the toolcarrier shaft, so that the throw of the toolcarrier may be varied. The shaft E may be driven by an electric motor.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Bottle Soaking Machines.
Inventor: PARRY JOSEPH
IPC: B08B9/42
Filed: 1913-05-03
Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 10,447. Parry, J. May 3. Bottles, washing. - Bottle-soaking machines are constructed with carriers secured in an inclined transverse position across a pair of travelling endless chains which alternately pass below and rise above the liquid in the soaking- tank. The carriers are mounted so that the vessels are downwardly inclined to discharge the liquid each time they emerge therefrom and are reversed automatically so that the vessels are upwardly inclined for refilling each time they enter the liquid. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the chains, and Figs. 5 and 7 one of the carriers. The chains a, which are driven by suitable gearing actuating sprockets on a shaft j, pass from the charging and discharging point shown at the left-hand top corner of Fig. 1 around pairs of pulleys c and also around pairs of submerged pulleys d. Each carrier comprises an openwork frame l fitted with a hinged spring lid m. The frame is formed with two lugs p secured to special links q of the chains, and the lid is fitted with an arm t adapted to engage fixed cams s, Fig. 3, at the charging and discharging points to open the lid. As each carrier rises to the discharging point, the lid is in such a position that it forms a hinged side to the carrier with the hinge at the upper edge. When the lid is opened in this position, the bottle rolls out of the carrier on to a pivoted counterweighted flap z, Fig. 1, and is delivered in turn to three other similar flaps 1, finally settling in a tank of rinsing-water. After the empty carrier has passed over the pulley c, Fig. 3, the lid is opened again by a second cam for the re-charging of the carrier by hand. In this position the lid has been reversed so that the hinge is at the lower edge, and the open lid thus forms a curved support for the bottle and assists in delivering it to the carrier. When soaking Codd's bottles a lever v, Fig. 5, on the carrier normally engages the ball stopper and keeps it away from the mouth of the bottle. The lever is withdrawn from the bottle at the charging and discharging points by fixed cams engaging the member x. Machines of larger capacity may be constructed with several pairs of chains side by side on the same shafts.

Abstract: 11,286. Dawson, J. J. May 15, 1912, [Convention date]. Ladder escapes. - A fire-escape comprises a series of flexible ladders arranged in vertical alinement on a building and normally wound upon drums having locking-devices, which are adapted -to be released simultaneously to allow the ladders to descend by gravity, the lower ends of the ladders then engaging locking- devices on the wall of the building, whereby excessive swaying of the ladders in use is prevented. The winding-drums are arranged in casings 5, Fig. 2, fixed above the windows inside the rooms, and the ladders 21 pass out through openings 10 and over rollers on brackets 27, Figs. 2 and 3, the outer ends of the ladders being provided with weights 24. The drums are normally locked by pawls adapted to be released simultaneously by means of a common pull-rod 36, which is depressed against the action of springs engaging collars thereon. As the ladders descend, springs surrounding the shafts upon which the drums rotate are wound up, whereby the descent is retarded and rewinding is facilitated. The devices for locking the lower ends of the ladders in operative position comprise hook-like brackets 44, 45, to which are pivoted weighted locking-arms 41, the hooked ends 42 of which are adapted to be engaged by the lower end of the ladder, whereby the arms 41 are turned from the position shown in Fig. 3 to that shown in Fig. 2, so as to lock the ladder in the looped parts 44<1> of the brackets 44, 45.
