Title: Safety Brake for Elevators, Hoists and Lifts.
Inventor: HUTH FERDINAND
IPC: B66B5/04
Filed: 1911-05-22
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 12,289. Huth, F. May 22. Catch gear and like safety retaining - mechanism.-Lifts or hoists are fitted with a safety brake mechanism adapted to come into operation when the suspending - cable breaks or when the speed is excessive. Spur-wheels e, f mounted on shafts c, d above the cage mesh with racks g, h in the well. The shaft c carries a clutch member normally in engagement with a spur-wheel which through the gearing p, q, r, t drives a wormwheel at the same speed as the shaft d, on which it is loosely mounted. The shaft d also carries a clutch member normally disengaged from the wheel u, hut on an emergency the clutch on shaft c is disconnected, and the clutch on the shaft d is engaged, with the result that the worm-wheel u jams on the worm t and arrests the cage. The clutches are moved by a weighted lever w normally retained by a link 5 resting on a lever 3 coupled to the hoisting-link n. If the cable breaks, the lever 3 is tilted by a spring z, and the clutch is operated by the weighted lever w. If the speed is excessive, a governor 6 raises a ball 10 and allows it to run over a division in the tube 11 and to fall on the dished end of a lever 12, thereby disengaging the link 5.

Granted: 1913-03-31
Abstract: 7786. Heurtley, E. S. March 30. Repeating systems for submarine telegraphs &c. comprise a moving-coil apparatus actuating non-circuit-closing means for amplifying the signal impulses and provided with additional windings in the local circuit for correcting for wandering zero. The receiving-coil MC controls, through the connexions c<1>, c1, the cradle A of a magnifying-apparatus of the kind described in Specification 17,555/09. The movements of the coil cause the wires HW to be moved with reference to a blast of air, thus cooling them differentially and disturbing the balance in the Wheatstone bridge in which they are placed. The coil RC in one of the bridge arms actuates the sending-on apparatus S1S, and the coil M1 C1 is wound on the frame of the coil MC to correct for wandering zero. One or two coils R1C1 are wound on the frame of the coil RC to curb and shape the signals.

Abstract: 7882. Kennedy, F. X. April 1. Outdoor games.-A board for playing a game in imitation of baseball consists of a number of sections clamped together and supported in a vertical position by means of a folding base and preferably of such a size as to fit one end of a room. The face of the board is divided by lines into areas representing a baseball diamond 3, first, second, third, and home bases 6, two base hit, three base hit, home run, bunt, and sacrifice. The bases 6 are holes through the board, each containing an electric light protected by screens. The board is also pierced with a number of holes 14 large enough for the ball to pass through, and in the centre of the diamond an ejector 13 is mounted on swivel bearings. In play, one player behind the board fires the ball from the ejector while a second player in front of the board endeavours to strike the ball with an ordinary baseball club and drive the ball against the board. The electric lights are illuminated by means of press-buttons when successful hits are made.

Granted: 1913-05-26
Abstract: 12,334. Wilke, J. F., and Boomkens, A. M. J. May 24. Code - signalling mechanism; ships' course signals.-In a rotating sound-signalling device, the sound - producing means is controlled so as to be effective or not in accordance with the direction in which the device is pointing. A whistle, siren, or the l i k e A, preferably mounted in a sounddirector B, preferably of paraboloidal form, is rotated manually, or mechanically by means of a crank D<3>, through the gear - wheels D, D <1>. On the shaft of the latter is mounted a cam-disk E, the projection E<1> of which moves the lever F, so actuating the valve A<6> in the supply-pipe A<4> of the compressed air, steam, or other gaseous operating-fluid for the siren A. The signal given consists of a blast directed to the starboard side while the device is rotating from ahead to astern, an interval of silence during a complete rotation, and then two blasts, directed to port, while the device is rotating from astern to ahead, separated by an interval during a half-rotation. A distant observer can tell from the sounds heard which side of the ship is towards him, and then, bv measuring at what part of a blast it sounds the loudest, the angle made by the vessel's course and the line between them. An indicator comprising a graduated disk is then set so that the line corresponding to this angle points towards the source of sound, whereupon the zero line shows the course of the ship. The valve A<6> may be thrown out of action and signals may be given manually by a stop-valve A<5>, a by-pass being provided if desired. Similar apparatus with distinctive signals may be used on piers or headlands.

Abstract: 13,547. Bartell, R. June 10. Shirts etc.; button-holes; fastening wearing- apparel.-To enable nether garments, such as trousers, to be supported from the shirt &c., the shirt is formed or provided, preferably at the sides, with a number of rows of buttonholes, one hole above another, and the trousers &c. are provided with suitably-located buttons, which can be buttoned into one or other of the button-holes in the respective rows. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, one side 9<a> of a button-hole strip 2 is sewn to the shirt by stitching 5, and the shirt is folded at 6, 7 to form a pleat extending preferably to the arm-pit, the pleat being prevented from unfolding by the line of stitching 8. The side 9 of the button-hole strip may have extended ends 11, which may be folded across the side 9<a>, as shown in Fig. 1, and stitched in position; or the upper end 11, instead of being folded across, may extend up to the arm-pit and be held by the stitching 8. When the shirt is made of patterned material, the side 2 is preferably covered with a strip 10, Fig. 2, of the same design. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, a reinforcing-strip 17 is secured to one side of the shirt, and a rectangular strip 19 is stitched on the other side by a seam close to the edges of a slit 20 cut through the three layers, after which the free marginal portions of the strip 19 are drawn through the slit and stitched down, the button-holes being then completed by cords or bars 22.

Abstract: 16,957. Webster, E. A. July 20. Boot - sole sewing machines ; governing needle thread in chainstitch machines of the type described in Specification 13,366/88. After the take-up lever g has been moved to its extreme position to set the stitch by drawing the loop about the shank of the needle a under full tension, the takeup lever is caused to dwell in this extreme position, and a stitchsetting strain is maintained on the thread by a spring - controlled thread tightener or auxiliary take-up h during the subsequent movement of the looper c to lay the thread in the needle hook, and of the thread finger i to draw aside its loop, which produces a further tightening of the stitch after it is first set. The thread finger then moves to deliver the thread to the needle, but retains its loop until the thread is held from movement through the needle hook by the work, thus preventing rendering of the thread in the needle hook. The take-up lever g is mounted on a shaft g<1>, and is oscillated by a link g<3> and a cam lever g<4>. The thread-tightening arm h is also mounted on the shaft g<1>, and has a thread roll h<1>, under which the thread passes on its way to the thread roll g<2> on the take-up lever g. A spring h<2> connected to the frame and the arm h throws the arm h downwardly, a stop screw h<3> on the frame being provided to limit the upward movement of the arm h. The thread finger i is mounted on a lever i<1>, which is oscillated by a link i<3> and a cam lever i<4>.
