Granted: 1912-04-29
Abstract: 10,209. Alcock, F. April 27. [Cognate Application, 22,469/11.] Catch gear of mine - cage type. - Comprises apparatus for arresting the motion of pit cages, lifts, hoists, &c. in the event of the hoisting- cable breaking, of the kind in which spring and weight controlled levers pivoted on the cage and connected to the hoisting-cable are provided with wedge grips adapted to engage the cage guides. The levers f are pivoted on brackets b which also form sockets for the wedges e carrying pins m engaging slots in the lever ends. Inclines engaging between pins on the wedges e keep them normally out of contact with the guides c. When the hoisting-cable breaks, the levers f are tilted by the action of the weights r assisted by springs acting on the rods o. The weights r are pivotally mounted on the levers f and springs t are arranged so that when the chains h are slack, they swing the weights r around their pivots and by means of links u, v withdraw locking - bolts y from the rods o. When the cage is resting on the keps, rods 6 are lifted so as to place the upper arms 4 of bell-crank levers 3 under the weights r, thereby rendering the clutch levers inoperative.

Abstract: 26,991. Royles, Ltd., and Royle, J. J. Dec. 2. Direct steam - pressure apparatus, automatic.-In a steamtrap of the bucket type for operating either above or below atmospheric pressure, live steam is admitted, and a valve connecting the trap with a vacuum, or the atmosphere, or the space to be drained, is closed at the same time as a water-outlet valve opens ; the discharged water may thus be raised to a high level. In the trap shown, a bucket j, pivoted at i, has ears m, to which is pivoted a plate n, also supported at o, engaging an arm l<2> actuating a vacuum or lowpressure valve l, and a similar arm (not shown) actuating a steam valve on the opposite side of the trap. Water enters at b and overflows into the bucket, which sinks and thus opens a water-outlet valve h, at the same time moving the plate m so as to close the valve l and open the steam valve. Non-return valves are fitted in the inlet b and outlet c. A compound valve may be substituted for the steam valve and the low-pressure valve.
