Patent GB-190425576-A (GB)
Title: Nut Lock.
Inventor: WEGENER ARNOLD HEINRICH
Filed: 1904-11-24
Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 25,576. Wegener, A. H. Nov. 24. Locking nuts.-An eccentric crescent-shaped recess 2 is formed in the nut, the back of the recess being provided with a groove 3 of a shape corresponding to thethreads of the bolt and nut. In this groove moves a disc 4, possesing a projecting central stem 6 by means of which it is guided. When the nut is screwed up, the disc travels into the broad part of the recess, but in unscrewing the nut the disc travels into the narrow tapered end and becomes firmly wedged. Three devices are described for governing the action of the disc 4. In Figs. 3 and 4, a washer is shown fitted to the top of the nut, having a rotating movement limited by the bolts 9 in the slots 8, a spring 11 retaining the edges of washer and nut flush when locked. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, an arm 17 is pivoted to the nut and has a movement restricted by the link 19. In another form, a spring is attached to the nut and is provided with teeth to hold the disc in locked and unlocked positions respectively. In some cases, a slightly convex spring washer is placed under the nut to give elasticity.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Deep-boring Machines or Apparatus.
Inventor: HARKER WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-01-24
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 1382. Harker, W., Allcock, A. T., and Cable, J. W. Jan. 24. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Deep-boring.-In percussive rope deep-boring apparatus, a disk crank carries a rotatable rope sheave and is driven by ratchets in order to allow a free fall of the tool. A disk crank b, having a pin e, is loosely mounted on a shaft a, and may be rotated in one direction by means of a wheel c which carries ratchets d. The shaft a and a winding-drum k are provided with means for throwing them out of gear with the source of power. The rope f is passed from the drum k under a sheave h mounted on the pin e and over the derrick pulley. When the tool reaches the top of the stroke, the crank overruns the ratchets and allows a free fall of the tool, the length of the stroke being dependent on the angle made by the rope in passing from the winding-drum round the sheave. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the sheave h is mounted on a connecting-rod g, and the rope is led over the derrick pulley before being passed round the sheave h, and is suspended from a pulley i<1>. In other cases, two supplementary pulleys may be suspended over the bore-hole, a loop of the rope being drawn between the pulleys and passed round the sheave, or a separate rope may be directly attached to the connecting-rod and passed over a suspended pulley and attached by means of a snatch block serving as a temper screw to the main rope.
