Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Lifting, Hauling and other analogous purposes.
Inventor: DRURY SAMUEL WILSON
IPC: B66F1/00
Filed: 1910-03-16
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 6600. Drury, S. W. March 16. Jacks.-Comprises a construction of ratchet gearing applicable for use as a lifting and pulling jack. Figs. 1, 1<a>, and 1<b> show the lifting- jack comprising a rocking carriage which carries pawls M, N and is pivoted at K to the crutch bar. By rocking the carriage through the medium of the hand-lever L, the pawls are alternately engaged with the racks on the fixed standard to raise the crutch bar. To lower the load step by step, the rocking movement of the lever is increased, and the pawl, which has been forced inwards by its spring after being iaised above the point of one tooth, is forced out to a greater distance by engaging the next higher tooth on the rack. In this position the gravity tumblers j<2> engage projections q on the pawls and hold them clear of the rack. A stop r releases the tumblers when the crutch bar has been lowered through a distance equal to one tooth on the rack. For rapid lowering, the pawls may be simultaneously withdrawn by hand-operated extensions m. Fig. 2 shows one form of pulling jack comprising two U-shaped racked members engaged by pawls T on a member carrying a hooked bar S connected to the object to be pulled. The casing is anchored to a fixed point by means of a second hook. For gradually releasing the strain on the object, the sliding pieces s are withdrawn from their casings into the path of the pawls. The springs t then force the pawls clear of the racks to permit a releasing action. To release the strain quickly, extensions T' on the pawls may be hand-operated to release both pawls, or the pawls may be held by catches pivoted to the rocking carriage. In a modified form the casing is composed of racked T-irons and the pawls are channel-shaped.
