Patent GB-191405395-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Signal Indicators or Registers such as are used in Collieries.
Inventor: STODDART HENRY
IPC: B66B19/06
Filed: 1914-03-03
Granted: 1915-02-25
Abstract: 5395. Stoddart, H. March 3. Bell signals; mechanical telegraphs.-A signal indicator or register for collieries is operated by impulses transmitted from a distance through a wire in such a manner that the first impulse returns the indicating-arm to its zero position and afterwards moves it one step, while succeeding quickly-applied impulses move the arm step by step, during which time the releasing-mechanism is inoperative. The indicating-arm 20 is mounted on a spindle 19 which is keyed to a spring-restrained ratchet-wheel 16 adapted to be operated by means of a pawl 15 mounted on a reciprocating rod 1 which carries also a roller 27 and a pin 9. The arm 20 is held in any one of its operative positions by means of a detent mounted on a spring-controlled lever 25 provided with a notch 24 which is adapted to be engaged by a weighted pawl 23 mounted on a lever 7. One arm of the lever 7 carries a weight 8, a second arm is in the form of a cam-surface 6, while a third arm is connected to the movable element of a dash-pot 22. The wire transmitting the impulses is attached to the upper part of the rod 1 and passes over a pulley. If the arm 20 is in one of its operative positions and an impulse is transmitted through the wire, the roller 27 by engaging the cam-surface 6 raises the weight 8 and lowers the pawl 23 and notch 24 against the action of the spring 26, thereby withdrawing the detent from the ratchet-wheel 16 and allowing the arm 20 to return to its zero position. When the rod 1 is allowed to fall, the pin 9 engages a notch 10 and lifts the hammer 12 from a gong 13; while a further movement of the rod releases the hammer 12 and causes the pawl 15 to engage the ratchet-wheel 16, thereby moving the arm 20 to its first operative position. If the gong is to be struck more than once and the arm 20 to be operated a corresponding number of times, impulses must be transmitted through the wire in quick succession in order that the pawl 23 may not engage the notch 24. The pawl 15 is inclined to clear the ratchetwheel on its up-stroke by causing a tail-piece 28 to engage a stop 30 at the end of the down-stroke of the rod 1, and to engage a stop 29 at the end of its up-stroke to place the pawl in its operative position. The arm 20 may be released by hand by allowing the lever 25 to project through the casing.

Abstract: 7953. Wholey, T. J. March 30. Force-feed lubricators.-In a device for lubricating the wheel flanges of locomotives, comprising a stick 15 of solid lubricant contained in a barrel 1 and pressed against the wheel flange by a spring 16, the end of the barrel is closed by a flanged cap 6, the edge of which is formed with a number of notches 7 and with recesses 9 in the intermediate parts 8 to receive projections. 5 formed on the barrel. A spring 10 bearing against a shoulder 4 holds the cap in position. To remove the cap, it is pressed in against the spring 10 and then turned until the notches 7 come opposite to the projections 5, whereupon it can be withdrawn. The spring 16 bears against the cap 6, and a chain 17 for retracting the follower 13 passes through a hole 18 in the cap: A ring 19 and pin 20 enable the chain to be drawn back and adjusted. The barrel 1, by means of a spindle 2, is adjustably mounted on an adjustable bracket secured to the frame of the locomotive.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Grinding Balls, Rollers, and the like.
IPC: B24B11/06
Filed: 1914-05-09
Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 11,503. Hoffmann Manufacturing Co., and Weeks, G. May 9. Balls, shaping and surfacing. -The pressuro between the fixed and rotary disks of a ball. roller, or like grinding-machine is automatically increased as the grinding progresses, either regularly or in increasing amount. The machine comprises a stationary cast-iron or like disk 1 with a hollow shaft 2 carried in bearing 3, and adapted to be forced against a rotatable abrading-disk 7 by means of a nut 6 on a screw 4, passing through the shaft 2 and attached to a shaft 8 clamped in a bearing 10, the disks being pressed together by a spring 11. The rotating disk 7 carries a peripheral cam 18 adapted to contact with a roller 19 and thereby, through levers 20, 23, shaft 21, and adjustable roller 24, to rock an arm 28, Fig. 3, pivoted on a shaft 29, the rocking motion of the arm causing a pawl 30 on -its upper end to rotate a ratchet-wheel 32 free on the shaft 29 and secured to a gear-wheel 33. This gear - wheel engages another gear-wheel 34 secured to the gear-wheel 35, and this wheel engages and rotates the wheel 38, thereby, through the shaft 29 and pinion 39, rotating the wheel 5 secured to the nut 6; the disk 11 is thus forced endways at each actuation of the ratchet-wheel and increases the pressure between the two disks. In order that the increases of pressure may be greater as the grinding progresses, a rod 57 is secured to the levers 20, 23 and carries a stepped stop 56. This stop is arranged to come against a projection 58 from the disk 1 and in the earlier stages of grinding, owing to the large diameter 56<a> of the stop, the roller 19 does not contact with the lower parts of the cam 18, so that the stroke of the pawl 30 is less than when, owing to the disk 1 having moved endways, a smaller diameter 56<b> or 56<c> of the stop comes against the projection. The movement of the pawl may be regulated by adjusting the roller 24 in the slot 26 in the lever. In order automatically to stop the increase of pressure when the maximum pressure required is reached, the spring 11 carries an arm 40 which presses' the short end 42 of a pointer 43 connected in an electric circuit 50, so that when the pointer is moved and contacts with an adjustable pointer 45, the circuit is closed and a solenoid 51 on the arm 28 lifts the pawl 30, thereby preventing further increase of pressure.
