Title: Improvements appertaining to Wheelbarrows, Colliery Trucks and like Vehicles.
Inventor: HOULDSWORTH HENRY
IPC: B21B19/04
Filed: 1909-08-24
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 19,420. Houldsworth, H., Holmes, R., and Whitaker, F. March 16, 1909. Axles; corves.-The axles of colliery trucks or corves are provided at their ends with flanged renewable thimbles which rotate in renewable bushes such as are described in Specification No. 24,320, A.D. 1896, [Abridgment Class Road vehicles], and in the case of corves, detachable hangers for the bushes are used. Two modifications for a corve are also described in which rotary or non - rotary bushes are used between the ends of the axle. Corve axles are preferably cut from square rolled bar, passed through corresponding holes in the wheels which may be spaced apart by tubing. The ends are fitted with renewable thimbles which rotate in renewable bushes carried in recesses r' of detachable brackets r, Fig. 12, each of which is fixed to a part s, Fig. 10, on the truck by a single bolt. Where the wheels are required to rotate independently, one of the thimbles c is extended to form a bearing for the wheel which has a circular hole. Fig. 23 shows a modification in which a flanged thimble c rotates in a block r<2> and takes a square axle, but if the wheels are required to rotate independently, flanged bushes, having cylindrical bearings for the wheels and squared portions fitting into the blocks r<2>, are used.

One set of numerals relates to months having thirty-one days, another to months having thirty days, and the third set to the month of February. These sets of numerals are also printed in types or colours to correspond with those in which the months and years are printed. An indicating-mark, as shown, on the transverse hand points to the year or years for which the apparatus is properly set.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Automatically Reversing the Direction of the Longitudinal Movement of the Ink Ribbon Feed in Typewriters.
IPC: B41J33/40
Filed: 1910-01-26
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 1990. Wanderer Werke vorm. Winklhofer & Jaenicke Akt.-Ges. Jan. 26. [Addition to 7751/09.] Ink-ribbon mechanism. - Relates to means for automatically reversing the ink-ribbon feed of the kind described in Specification 7751/09, in which feelers bearing on the ribbon on the spools are connected with pawls which can engage worms on the spooldriving shaft, which is thereby moved lengthways. The driving- shaft 1 is held with either pair of bevel-gears in engagement by a lever 12, of which the lower end is forked and engages a groove in the shaft. The wedge-shaped upper end of the lever is eogaged by a roller carried by a spring 17. Each of the worms 27 on the driving-shaft can be engaged by a pawl 23 pivoted on a bolt 34 and having an extension 33, to which is rigidly secured a lever 36, 39 which also turns about the bolt 34. The feelers 21 are attached to the upper ends of shafts 20, and are held against the ribbon on the spools by springs 26. At the lower end of each shaft 20 is an arm 41 carrying a pin 42, which extends into the space bounded by the arms of the lever 36, 39. The two pawls 23 are connected together by a rod 45, which is pivoted at its ends to the levers 36, 39. Springs are provided at the pivots so as to cause friction and prevent accidental movement of the pawls. When the ribbon is nearly wound off a spool, the pin 42 presses on the arm 39 of the lever 36, 39 and moves the pawl 23 into engagement with the teeth of the worm 27. The rotation of the shaft 1 causes the worm to rotate the pawl until the extension 33 strikes a part of the machine frame, after which the shaft begins to move lengthways, the motion being suddenly completed by the roller carried by the spring 17 as it passes the end of the lever 12. The arms 41 are extended to form hand-levers 43, by means of which the feelers may be moved away from the spools. The arms 36 of the levers 36, 39 by engaging the pins 42, limit the movement of the feelers away from the spools so as to prevent damage to the stretched ribbon 29.
