Catch gear of mine-cage type.-Comprises various improvements in cam gripping- devices for arresting a pitcage, lift, &c. by engaging the guides in the event of the hoisting - cable breaking. Fig. 3 shows one arrangement of the apparatus, Fig. 4 a modification suitable for wooden guides, and Fig. 6 is a detail view of the gripping- device. Shafts f carrying cams g are arranged at each side of the cage top, and are coupled by levers h<2> to a link i suspended from the hoisting-cable i<1>. The cams are arranged within loops c, which are bent round the guides band are firmly secured to the cage. An horizontal arm on each lever h<2> is attached to one end of a spiral spring which envelopes a fixed sleeve placed loosely on the shaft f, the spring serving to turn the cams into engagement with the guides when the tension of the hoisting-cable is removed. In order to prevent the grips g from acting at particular points in the shaft, the cage is fitted with arms which, when engaged by stops in the shaft, place pawls k<2> beneath a cross-bar k and prevent the link i from falling. The mechanism is protected by a pyramidal shield formed of detachable triangular sections p hinged at their bases and suspended at their apexes by a link q from the hoisting-cable. In order to provide long gripping-surfaces, the loops c are fitted with vertical V-grooved blocks, and the cam y, Fig. 6, carries a V-grooved block g<2> attached by parallel links to the bracket d. When wooden guides are used, the cams g, Fig. 4, are fitted with prongs g<6> projecting through holes in the thin part of the cam and attached to the plate g<4>. A lever g<7> with a head g<8> at one end is pivoted loosely on the shaft f of the cam and is attached at its other end to the plate g<4>. The Specification states that as the cam rotates into engagement with the guide o, the rear face g<2> of the cam engages the head g<8> and thrusts the prongs g<6> into the guide.
