Abstract: 24,545. Bamford, J., and Bamford, C. J. Oct. 26. H a y m a k i n g. - I n swath-turners, hay-collectors, or tedders in which the rake bars are cranked at the ends and mounted in parallel disks or the like arranged eccentrically to one another, so that the bars have a combined rotary and e n d l o n g movement, the effective sweep of the tines is increased by giving them a swinging movement about the axes of the bars in such a way that they are inclined outwards as they enter and leave the crop. The tines 10 are fixed to sleeves 11 which are geared to bushes 18 carrying cranks 21, through slots in which pass pins 19 projecting from an eccentrically-mounted disk 12. The cranks may form plungers sliding through swivel eyes on the disk 12. The disk 5 at the front end of the rake bars is driven by ordinary reversing or other gearing, and drives the disk 12 through cranked links 20. The sleeves 11 and bushes 18 may be connected by springs 22, 23, Fig. 2, instead of gearing. The tines may be mounted directly on the rake bars, to which the oscillating movements may be transmitted through universal joints or flexible couplings at the driving end. The tines may swing more to one side than the other. According to the Provisional Specification, the tines mav be caused to make one revolution on the rake bars while the latter make one revolution about their axes.

Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 25,143. Redfern, C. G., [Pneumatic Tobacco Stemmer Co.]. Nov. 1. Tobacco. -Tobacco leaves are stripped by means of rotary cutters 35, Fig. 8, and a cutter bar 31 which is adjustably held in housings 32, Fig. 6, which are themselves adjustable lengthways of the machine to a limited extent, the cutter bar being sharpened to different degrees at various parts of its length so that more or less of the stem may be left with the stripped leaf as desired. The butt ends of the stem are held and the leaf is drawn past the cutters by two endless belts 14 of square section carried by back rollers 4, Fig. 3, and front rollers 6, the latter being carried by a spring-controlled swing arms 37, Fig. 8, having limiting-stops 51, 52, Figs. 6 and 8. The leaves are spread on a feeding-table and carried forwards by means of a toothed belt 87 and a belt 86, Fig. 15, and delivered to the delivery chain 100, Fig. 16. The butts of the stems are positioned by means of a guide 92, Fig. 15, and are held in the toothed belt 87 by a spring guide 93, the end of which is held in the rotary holder 96 by means of which the position of the guide may be varied. The delivery chain 100 travels faster than the toothed belt 87 and is provided with teeth 103, 104, Fig. 16, which take one leaf at a time and turn it from an horizontal into a substantially vertical position by means of the guides 105, 107. The butt end is then gripped by the belts 14. The feed table may be provided with card rollers to strip the leaf from the butt ends of the stem. The delivery end of the toothed belt 87 may be inclined downwardly to the delivery chain to permit the leaf stems to be released singly and roll or slide down to be engaged by the teeth of the delivery chain. The feed mechanism may be stopped at will independently of the stripping-mechanism by means of a foot lever and a clutch in connexion with change gearing through which the feed mechanism is driven. Broken leaves are thrown back from the cutters and roller 70, Fig. 8, or dropped from the delivery chain 100 and are carried by an elevator to a receptacle or may fall into a hopper. The stemmed strips are delivered to a carrier 65, Fig. 3, or to a hopper. The belts 14 are pressed together by rollers, Fig. 3, carried by spring-controlled bell-crank levers.

Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 24,541. Huckle, E. A. Oct. 22. Moving and changing apparatus. - A rolling body set in motion by the movements of a moving or vibrating body, such as a vehicle, door, or sign-board, is used to operate mechanical figures forming an advertisement. The rolling body may be arranged to operate a pendulum, see-saw, or other rocking or oscillating device. The ball c rolls backwards and forwards in a casing a, and in some forms operates a pendulum e connected to a suitable part of the mechanical figure, for example, the arm g, Fig. 1. To operate the arm, the pendulum c engages a stop z on a weighted lever j, which maintains the arm in a raised position against a stop h, and lowers the arm of the figure. Return movement of the ball has no effect on the arm g, and other provision may be made to allow motion of the ball in one direction to be idle, for example, by providing a kneejoint in the length of the pendulum. In another form, the pendulum rotates a disk o, Fig. 4, through ratchet mechanism 4. The disk carries two sets of figures, one set of which appear to enter a door r, and the other set to leave a second door s. Or the ball may operate a seesaw device, which brings either of two representations into view at apertures in the casing. A representation 5, Fig. 7, of a ship may be carried on a bar 6 suspended on springs 7 and provided with one or more projections on cams 8 in the path of the rolling-ball. The ball at the ends of its travel strikes gongs d. Specification 17,713/10 is referred to.

Abstract: 6017. Beardmore & Co., W., Bremberg, A., and Banks, A. March 10. Ordnance, discharging by means external to breech mechanism.-Relates to electric firing- gear of the kind in which a firing-handle carried by the handle of the gun-elevating or like gear operates a contact device on a fixed part of the mounting through an arrangement of levers and sliding parts in or on the handle, crank, and crank-shaft, of the elevating or other gear. The invention consists in an arrangement in which the firing-handle is turned about an axis at right-angles to the handle spindle of the elevating or other gear, and actuates an endways-movable sleeve on that spindle through rack-and-pinion gear. A torsion spring is arranged around the firing-handle spindle to reset the parts. Fig. 1 is an axial sectional view of the mechanism applied to a double-handled elevating-gear, and Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the elevating-handle A. The spindle C<2> of the firing-handle C<3> is rotatably mounted in an enlarged portion C' of a sleeve C on the handle A. A pinion C<4> on the spindle C<2> gears with peripheral teeth B<4> on a second sleeve B<3> on the handle A, which sleeve has jaws B<5> adapted to engage with one end of a lever H pivoted upon the crank A<2>. The other end of the lever engages with jaws G<3> on a rod G<2> slidably mounted in the hollow crank-shaft A<3>, and coaxial with the elevating-gear pinion A<1> to which the handle A is rigidly attached. The crankshaft A<3> carries the second crank G<1> of the elevating-gear at its outer end, and has upon it a circumferentially-grooved sleeve G<4> which is connected with the rod G<2> by a pin G<5> passing through a slot G<6> in the shaft A<3>. The sleeve G<4> operates two levers H' (one only is shown in Fig. 1) which are connected with the plungers H<3> of the contact devices H<4> of the main and auxiliary firing circuits. A train of epicyclic gearing E<4>, E<5>, E<3>, may be provided, in known manner, to maintain the handle C<3> parallel to itself during the operation of the elevating or other gear. A torsion spring D restores the firing-handle to its usual position after the handle has been rotated for firing. According to the Provisional Specification, the lever H may be replaced by a rigid radial arm on the spindle G<2>, adapted to engage with the jaws B<5> on the sleeve B<3>.
