Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: FELL JOHN CORRY
IPC: B41J25/18
Filed: 1910-06-30
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 15,721. Fell, J. C., [Union Typewriter Co.]. June 30. Tabulating - mechanism. - The column stops, instead of being adjustable along the stop-bar, occupy fixed positions, preferably a complete series corresponding to all the letter-space positions of the carriage, and are movable into and out of operative position, and means, preferably controlled by a key located in the keyboard of the machine, is provided for setting the stops as the carriage reaches the successive positions during the writing of the first line of the matter to be tabulated. Provision is also made for returning all the projected stops when a different setting is required. (1.) Figs. 2 and 7 show stops 8 forked to straddle the usual toothed stop-bar 6. The stops are held in positinn by the action of a projection 14 on a U-shaped spring 12 on the stop against the crown of the adjacent tooth on the stop-bar, and removal is prevented by means of a projection 9 on the stop and a locking- bar 10 screwed to the stop-bar; or, the projection on the U-shaped spring is provided with inclined or cam faces for engagement with the corner of and a recess in the stopbar in the returned and projected positions respectively, and the upper limb of the spring is provided with a shoulder for engagement with the adjacent tooth to prevent removal. To project the stops, an arm 28 is provided on a rock-shaft 30 actuated from a key preferably located in the keyboard of the machine; the arm 28 is shown as disposed to project the stops just to the right of the decimal stop of a series of denomination stops 15. To return the stops, a finger-piece 60 is depressed to project a cam 40 into the path of the stops, and the movement of the carriage in either direction brings the stops into engagement with either face 41 of the cam. The cam is provided with a cylindrical bearing-piece 42 secured in a casting 47 on the tabulator frame 18 by a screw 48 extending into a recess 44. The finger-piece is fitted on a spring-returned plunger 51 provided with an incline 56 for cooperation with a groove in the part 42. Flat faces on the parts 42, 51 engage to prevent rotation, and vertical faces 65 engage, when the finger-piece is fully depressed, to prevent rearward movement of the cam. To prevent undue strain on the stop-bar during the return of the stops, an abutment 70 on a bracket 67 is disposed just clear of the locking-bar 10. (2.) Fig. 9 shows stops 76 mounted in slots in a hollow stop-bar 77 and retained by bow springs. Each stop is formed with a central opening to receive an eccentric bar 81, which is rotated by means of a finger-piece 80, against the action of a spring 83, to return the projected stops, and serves to limit the advance of the projected stops.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 29,970. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Wright, R. Dec. 24. Tipping - apparatus; staiths and elevated apparatus. - Coal and o t h e r minerals are loaded into barges from railway trucks by apparatus adapted to receive and discharge trucks having bottom or end doors. Fig. 1 shows one construction of apparatus, in which a hopper b is attached to the pivoted cradle a. Trucks having bottom doors are discharged into t h e hopper and then run off before the cradle is raised to discharge the hopper down the shoot f. Trucks having end doors are raised bodily on the cradles into the position shown by dotted lines, and discharged directly into the shoot f. Where the height of the quay is insufficient to allow a shoot to be employed, the apparatus is modified as shown in Fig. 5. The triangular cradle a is swung from a toothed sector pivoted at d. To discharge trucks with bottom doors the cradle is moved parallel to itself by rotating the sector until the doors are directly over the barge. For trucks with end doors, the sector is rotated and the cradle also tilted by a cable into the position shown in dotted lines, in which the end doors are directly over the barge.

Title: An Improved Clutch Shifting and Gear Changing Device.
Inventor: IRISH ALLEN MARSHALL
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1911-07-21
Granted: 1912-07-22
Abstract: 16,799. Irish, A. M. July 21. Controlling variable - speed gearing. - Relates to fluid - operated devices for operating change-speed gearing, in which the main engine clutch is necessarily disengaged before the gear is changed. Gas under pressure is supplied to a double valve 6, 6<a> by an accumulator 5, pipe 4, and check valve 3 from an engine cylinder 2. The valve 6, 6<a> comprises a central spindle 21 carrying valves 24, 25 and turning with a rotary valve 18. Ports 29, 30 lead by pipes 56, 57 to gear-operating cylinders 49, 50 on the gear-box 13. A port 27 leads by a pipe 41 to the bottom of a cylinder 12, which contains a piston connected by a link 10 with the main clutch pedal 8. Ports 20, 26 communicate with the open air. The spindle 21 is pivoted to a lever 34 which bears against an adjustable pin 35, and, when in the position shown in Fig. 2, engages one of notches 38, 39, 40, Fig. 5, in a fixed quadrant. The cylinders 49, 50 contain pistons 51, 52 connected by a hollow rod 53 secured to a gear-shifting lever 54 and containing springs 58, 59 which bear on plates 60, 61 engaging slots in the rod 53. Stops 63, 64 are formed on the cylinder framing. In changing gear, the lever 34 is lifted out of its notch and the spindle 21 is thereby depressed to the position shown in Fig. 3, so that fluid under pressure enters the bottom of the valve casing 6 and passes round the spindle 21 and to the port 27, thus lifting the piston in the cylinder 12 and disengaging the clutch. The lever 34 is then turned until it is over the required notch, the plug 18 being thereby turned to communicate with the port 29 or 30, thus supplying fluid to the cylinder 49 or 50 and changing the gear. Lowering the lever 34 into its notch shuts off the port 27 from the accumulator 5 and connects it to the exhaust port 26, so that the clutch is allowed to re-engage. Spring-pressed balls 31 carried by the spindle 21 engage grooves 32 in the casing 6<a> to indicate to the operator when the lever 34 is over the notches.

Abstract: 22,177. Betteley, J. H. Oct. 9. Block tyres; metallic spring bodies and cores. - Cylindrical rubber or like tyre blocks c, secured in one or more rows on the wheel rim b, have their lateral expansion due to axial compression limited by transversely or helicallysplit spring rings f. The blocks are secured in position by headed radial bolts i, which preferably slide in conical sleeves h, tending to produce expansion of the blocks against the spring rings. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the bolts i pass freely through the felloes, and are prevented from turning by square parts k. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the conical sleeves h are flanged and secured to the rim by screws, and the bolts i, which are short, are guided in them by pins and slots. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the bolts screw into the conical sleeves, and their heads rest in recesses t in the blocks, so that compression of the blocks is possible; the recesses t may be filled with suitable material. According to the Provisional Specification, the blocks may be without spring rings, and they may be secured to a metal ribbon on the rim.
