Title: Improvements relating to friction brake mechanism
IPC: F16D49/16
Filed: 1947-02-20
Abstract: 644,001. Brakes. WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO., Ltd. Feb. 20, 1947, No. 4957. Convention date, June 4, 1946. [Class 103 (i)] In brakes of the kind comprising a pair of brake shoes that are applied to a rotatable element by a pair of brake levers coupled together by force-equalizing mechanism through which the brake is applied, equal wear of the shoes is ensured by a device which acts, if one shoe tends to wear faster than the other, to increase the pressure on that shoe relatively to that on the other shoe. As shown, shoes 16, 18 are applied to a drum 1 by a floating lever 11 operated by a rod 13 and connected to the shoecarrying levers 3, 4. A spring link 27 extending between an extension 28 of lever 3 and a pivot 29 on lever 4 includes a spring 22 which normally abuts through seats 32, 33 on a shoulder 34 on the rod 24 and a nut 35 on the end of the rod. Normally also the seats 32, 33 are in contact with the cap 38 of the socket 21 and with a shoulder 37 on the socket respectively but if during a brake application the shoe 16, for instance, wears faster than shoe 18, the washer 33 is displaced from the nut 35 so that the spring reacts between the shoulders 37, 34, thus increasing the pressure applied to shoe 18 relatively to that applied to shoe 16. If the shoe 18 should wear the faster, the spring reacts between the nut 35 and the cap 38, thus increasing the pressure on,shoe 16 relatively to that on shoe 18

Filed: 1938-02-19
Abstract: 510,552. Launching torpedoes. VICKERSARMSTRONGS, Ltd., PEARSON, E. C., and SWINDALE, J. W. Feb. 19, 1938, No. 5255. [Class 9 (ii)] Apparatus for securing a torpedo on the carriage of an above-water torpedo discharging gear comprises an arm adapted to engage the body of the torpedo at a point substantially opposite the bearing surface of the carriage for supporting the torpedo, said arm being associated with a link mechanism which, in the normal inboard position of the discharge gear, holds the arm in its torpedo-retaining position, said link mechanism being automatically operated by the movement of the torpedo-supporting carriage upon actuation of the discharging gear to cause the arm to swing away from said torpedo-retaining position. The invention is preferably employed in connection with the discharge gear described in Specification 479,497 in which the torpedo is supported on three carriages adapted to be moved on rails by a ram from an inboard to an outboard position in order to discharge the torpedo. The additional holding means, according to the invention, is shown as applied to one of the outside carriages 11 having rollers 11A, 11B which permit it to run on a rail 8, although, if desired, such means may be applied to a pair or all three of the carriages. The holding means shown comprises a bell crank lever having arms A, B pivotally secured at C to the carriage. A curved arm D also pivoted on the pin C is adapted to extend over the top side of the torpedo 5 being provided at its outer end with a screwthreaded clamp device E, F adapted to bear on the exterior surface of the torpedo. A locking pin G when passed through apertures in the arms A, D serves to connect these arms rigidly together. The free end of the arm B is pivotally connected at H to one end of a lever J pivotally mounted at K on the carriage and carrying at its free end a roller L adapted to project downwardly just behind the end of the rail 8 when the discharge gear is in its inboard position. In this position, the rear side of the roller contacts with an abutment M on the deck N of the vessel. When it is desired to place a torpedo in position, the pin G is removed and the arm D swung backwardly into the position D<1>. A torpedo is then placed on the carriages and the arm D then brought down into the position shown in full lines and the pin G inserted in the apertures in the arms A, D. On movement of the carriages into their outboard position, the roller L rides up the rail 8 so that the lever J is tilted so as to cause the bell-crank lever having the arms A, B to be swung round its pivot C which results in the lifting of the arm D and the freeing of the torpedo for launching.
