Title: Improvements in Automatic Weighing Machines.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1908-06-20
Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 13,208. Lake, H. W., [Hennefer Maschinenfabrik C. Reuther & Reisert Ges.]. June 20. Automatic-feed weighers ; testing.-To close the major-feed gate p of an automatic-feed weigher before the receptacle n has received the full weight, the movement of the beam B is facilitated by a flat spring a which, by exerting an upward pressure on a bar c<1>, reduces the effective weight of the balance-load o. As the beam approaches the horizontal, a catch t releases an arm s and allows the major-feed gate p partially to cut-off the feed. The spring a, either by resuming its normal shape or by abutting against a stop f is rendered inoperative and the remainder of the weight dribbles past the gate p until a projection v operates toggle levers x and closes the dribble-feed gate q. A taring-beam u of known form acts against the weight o by means of a knife-edge u<1>. To examine the accuracy of the scale, the bar c<1> is raised by a cam and handle m, k until clear of the spring a and knife-edge u<1> and if the contents of the receptacle are found to deviate from the correct weight adjustment of the poise weight Z is made to alter the effective pressure of the knife-edge u<1>.

Title: Improvements appertaining to Lifts or Hoists.
Inventor: WADSWORTH ALFRED
Filed: 1908-09-11
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 19,082. Wadsworth, A. Sept. 11. Lifts.-A device for operating the banding-ropes of lifts, is arranged so that a stoppage can be effected in any desired part of the well ; it can also be so set as to prevent the handing-rope from being operated by anyone other than the person in charge of the cage. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan, Fig. 4 a sectional side elevation, and Fig. 6 a front elevation ,of the device, in which a is the handing-rope, provided at intervals with stoppieces b, b<1>. On the cage d is a bracket f having an opening for the rope. On this bracket the spanning levers g, g<1> are pivoted at 2, 3, being forced towards each other by springs h, h<1>. The lever g has a thumb-piece g<2> by means of which the levers g, g<1> are forced apart through projections 6, 7 ; they are retained in this position by a catchpiece k, which is pivoted on the frame f at 5 and engages the lever g. The thumb-piece k<1> enables the catch-piece to be disengaged. The handing- ropes are of the endless type. When the levers g, g<1> are held apart by the catch k, the movement of the cage is not interfered with in any way except at its extreme points, because the stoppieces can pass through. If, however, the piece k is raised, and the levers g, g<1> encounter the square end, b<2> of blocks b, b<1> suitably disposed on the handing-rope, the continued motion of the cage pulls the cord a and disengages the driving- mechanism. If the rounded or tapered end of a block is encountered, the stop-piece will be passed over without arresting the motion of the cage, the outward movement of the spanning levers in this case not being sufficient to engage the check-piece k .

Granted: 1909-12-28
Abstract: 28,925. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Sept. 28, 1908. Slugging.-Relates to the awl mechanisms of high-speed fastener-inserting machines for leather goods &c., particularly for use in the manufacture of boots and shoes, and consists in an arrangement whereby the awl is forced into the work by a single means which both grips and inserts a fastener, and in the provision in combination with the awl and the fastener-inserting means of driving means arranged so that the awl pierces the work, the inserting-means partly inserts a fastener in a previously-formed hole, and the driver completes the insertion of a fastener simultaneously at three respective fastener locations. The invention is particularly adapted for use with the slugging-machine described in Specification 20,322/08, which is preferably also fitted with the mechanisms described in Specifications 28,926/09 and 28,927/09. The awl 162, Figs. 4 and 7, is furnished with an offset stem 164, which is clamped in a carrier 168 pivotally secured at 170 to a slide-bar 171, in the swinging-frame in which the cutter head is mounted, as described in Specification 20,322/08. The awl-carrier is adapted to be moved to bring the awl beneath the cutter-head 40 by a rod 182, which is actuated through connexions from the cam-disk, which controls the main operative parts of the machine, as described in the Specification last referred to. In this position, as the cutter-head moves downwards, the cutter strikes a ledge 172 upon the awl stem and drives the awl into the work. As the head moves upwards, a projection 176 carried by it engages the slide-bar 171 and withdraws the awl from the work, after which the awl is moved from beneath the cutter. When this takes place, an offset portion 178 on the carrier 168 engages a shaped seat 180 on the machine frame, and pushes the slide 171 a short distance further upwards so as to remove it entirely from the path of movement of the projection 176. The feed of the work is started by the awl, and is continued by a yieldingly-supported plate 412, Fig. 14, carried by the swinging frame above referred to. The fastener material is fed through a slot in this plate and inserted in a hole formed by the awl in the work. A length is then cut off leaving a portion of the fastener upstanding from the work. The slotted plate 412 engages this upstanding portion and feeds the work; but on the next descent of the cutterhead to perforate the work and partly to insert another fastener, the plate 412 drives the first fastener home.

Abstract: 12,591. Fairbrother, H., [Karns Tunneling Machine Co., J. P.]. May 24. Tunnelling by boring. - In an apparatus for boring tunnels, drifts, air-shafts, &c., a drill head is connected to a reciprocating rod by a shaft which is slightly rotated at each reciprocation. The connexion of the rod to the shaft is shown in Fig. 8, and consists of an enlarged portion 88 of the rod 85 bearing against curved pieces 87, and against a piece 80 mounted in a hemispherical corresponding recess in the shaft 2. A cylindrical casing 83 is attached to the shaft by a key maintained in position by a rod 92. The shaft is mounted on a truck body having wheels moving on rails, and being also guided by a roller 176, Fig. 1, bearing against the roof of the tunnel. The drill head is prolonged at its central portion by an elongated hub 30, on which, preferably shrunk, is a sleeve 40, Figs. 1 and 3, provided with longitudinal grooves for balls 42, which sleeve fits also in similar grooves in a cylinder 22. The cylinder is provided with grooved ribs carrying balls 7, corresponding grooves and ribs being provided in a semi-cylindrical cap 8 and in the truck body 1. The cap is provided with flanges 14 fitting snugly against flanges 13 on the truck body ; and pivoted connexion between the two parts is also made at 21 so that, on releasing bolts 17, the cap may be thrown over to expose the interior. The shaft 2 is enlarged at 39 to engage winged portions on the hub 30 and cylinder 22, at 78 to engage a buffer 75, and at 98, Figs. 1 and 4, where inclined grooves 99 coact with similar grooves in a cylinder 100 to form ball races. The cylinder 100 is toothed externally for engagement by detents 132 mounted in a cap or casing 119. The movement of the pawls is limited by a rod 135. In operation, the forward motion of the rod 85 is communicated to the shaft 2 and to the drill head for striking. The shaft 2, moving forward, turns the cylinder 100, and the ratchet teeth slip past the detent. On the return stroke, the detents prevent the rotation of the cylinder, whereupon the shaft 2, by means of the inclined grooves and balls, is given a slight rotation to bring the drill head opposite a fresh part of the tunnel. The great number of detents employed ensures the engagement of at least one with the ratchet wheel.
