Abstract: 29,208. Boag, J. Jan. 13, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Boat raising, lowering, and disengaging gear. - Relates to the type of davit that is carried by a rotatable horizontal shaft b<2>, the rotary motion of which is limited by stops p<2>. The mechanism for turning the power shaft b<4> and working the ropes c<4> is carried by a framework d. On a shaft e is mounted a drum e<2>, of the type that is divided into two parts by a disk, such as e3, the ropes c<4> being oppositely wound on the two parts. The drum has a brake e<4> worked in the usual manner, and a gear-wheel f which is geared to other wheels h<3>, h<4> through the agency of an eccentrically-mounted shaft g and link-work g<4>, g<5>, g<6>, g<7>. To lower the boat, the shaft h is rotated to the right, thereby turning the shaft g and drum e<2> and raising the boat out of the cradle ; the shaft b<4> is then turned to the left by the shaft d<4>. As the davits are swung outboard, the brake e<4> is manipulated, so as to allow the drum e<2> to turn freely. The shaft i may be turned to throw the shaft g out of gear, but this is not essential. To raise the boat, the arm i<2> is raised, thus throwing the shaft g into gear with the drum e<2>; the shaft h being turned, thereby winds the ropes c<4> till the boat is high enough ; the brake e<4> is then tightened, the shaft b<4> turned to bring the davits inboard, and the boat lowered into the cradle. Chains j form stays for the davits when in the outboard position. The ropes c<4> pass through eyes or blocks k secured to the deck. A lever n operates a pawl n<2> which gears with a ratchet m on the drum shaft e to prevent backward motion of the drum when necessary. Projections p<2>, Fig. 9, on the davits limit their outward movement by contacting with shoulders p.

Abstract: 2672. Reichlinger, M., and Lessel, A. Feb. 2. Sawing; tree-felling.- In a sawing-machine for felling and sawing - up trees and of the type in which the saw can execute cuts in planes crossing each other, the saw 11 is placed in a frame 5 turning about an horizontal axis 6, and movable in the direction of the axis. The angular motion of the saw frame 5 required for a vertical cut is obtained by handoperated toothed - wheels 18 moving on bow-shaped racks 17, attached to a sub - structure 3. This sub - structure 3, which also carries the saw frame, motor 21, &c., is moved on the carriage 2 by. a screw 25, which is rotated by a hand-wheel and engages a nut 27 mounted in the carriage. To draw the saw frame back quickly after the tree is felled, the nut, which is provided with fast and loose pulleys, is rotated by the belt 30 from a shaft 23, connected to the motor by a belt 22. The rod 37, to which the saw is connected, is driven through a cross-head 10, a connecting-rod 9, and crank 8 from the shaft 6, which is rotated by gearing from the shaft 23. The shock caused by the rear stroke of the saw when taking a vertical cut is absorbed by air, cushioned in a cylinder 12 fixed to the frame 5 by a piston 13, connected by rods 15, 16 to the cross-head 10. To adjust the angle of the saw about the rod 37, the rod, which is fixed to the saw by a nut 32, passes through a hole in a disk 34 attached to the saw, which adjoins a disk 33 on the rod, the former having one notch and the latter being notched all round ; they are held in the required position by a bolt moved into place by a handle 36.
