Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 22,211. McCay, C. E. Oct. 9. Overhead travellers and transporters.-In apparatus for lifting, lowering, and transporting goods in which an operating-rope to which the load is attached passes over a pulley on a carriage running on an inclined fixed ropeway, means are provided whereby the carriage is automatically gripped to the ropeway during hoisting of the load, and the operating-rope is gripped during traversing of the carriage. The operating-rope d from which the load is suspended at d<1> passes over a pulley c mounted in a fork e pivoted at e<1> and provided with a rearward extension carrying a gripping-jaw l. The pivot c' of the pulley c is connected by links f to a bent lever h pivoted at h<2> in slots i in the carriage frame. On the pivot h<2> is mounted a gripper block n. A controlling- cord is connected to the lever h. When the cord j is pulled to the right, the parts assume the position shown in dotted lines, the pins h<2> sliding down the slots i and causing the carriage to be gripped to the ropeway b<2> between the block n and a fixed block o. At the same time, the links f raise the pulley c and release the rope d by lowering the jaws l away from the gripping-pulley k<1>. When the cord is pulled to the left, the rope d is gripped and the rope b<2> released. A pulley m prevents depression of the jaw l due to excessive tension in the rope d.

Granted: 1913-04-15
Abstract: 3794. Kettering, C. F. May 22, 1911, [Convention date]. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for; systems of charging and discharging galvanic batteries. - The dynamo of a batterycharging system is provided with a shunt field-winding the circuit of which contains a resistance controlled by an energy meter connected in series with the battery. In the arrangement shown, the dynamo 41 is provided with a shunt field-winding 130, the current in which is varied by means of a meter 134 and resistance sections 145, 146. The meter 134 is provided with an arm 135 adapted to engage a contact strip 140 when it revolves in an anticlockwise direction, thereby inserting the resistance section 145 by separating the contact strips 138,. 140. A further movement of the arm 135 and contact strip 140 causes a projection 143 on the arm 140 to engage a contact strip 137, thereby inserting the resistance section 146 by separating the contact strips 137, 139. The decreased energization of the dynamo 41 causes its voltage to fall below that of the battery 133, when an electromagnetic cut-out 163 operates to disconnect the battery from the dynamo. As the battery 133 discharges through the load, the arm 135 revolves in a clockwise direction, allowing the contact strips 137, 139, 138, 140 to engage to shortcircuit the resistance sections 146, 145. The dynamo 41 is also provided with a series fieldwinding 131 connected in parallel with an ironwire resistance 170, as described in Specification 5545/13. [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.]. Specification 28,903/11 is also referred to.

Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
IPC: B41J29/15
Filed: 1912-05-04
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 10,636. Underwood Typewriter Co., and Cooper, J. J. May 4. [Cognate Application, 15,142/12.] Copy - holders. - In arrangements for use in transcribing telegraphic strip in typewriters, the strip 11 is fed across the typewriter by feed-rollers 15, 16 which are actuated through ratchetgearing by a key-lever or, preferably, by a pedal. The ratchet-gearing may comprise pawls 33 on radius-arms 28, 29 connected by lines 31, 32 to a rod 22 which is operated by the pedal. The arrangement is such that the pawls are alternately operative during the up-stroke and down-stroke of the rod 22, so that repeated operation of the pedal imparts a continuous feed to the strip. The up-stroke of the rod 22 is performed by a return-spring arranged beneath the pedal. The pawls may, as shown, drive a ratchet-wheel 25, which is connected to the roller 16 by multiplying-gear 41, 42, or if a slower feed is required, the ratchet-wheel may be secured to the roller 16. The rod 22 may be guided by a stud 34 engaging a slot 35, or the rod may be carried by radius-arms. For key-actuation, the red 22 would be connected to a key-lever operated by a key in the keyboard, the key-lever being provided with stops and being adapted to set a check-pawl for arresting the ratchet-wheel 25 at the end of the feed-movement. The strip passes through guides 13, 14 and is supported above the keyboard by a table such as the frame-member 43 which carries the scale 44, the guide 13 being inclined forward so as to present the strip to the typist. The ratchet-gearing and guide 14 may be carried by a single bracket 36 adapted to be attached to the typewriter. In the case of languages or codes which are read from right to left, the feed-rollers are arranged on the right of the typewriter. The rollers are rubber-coated and the roller 15 is carried by spring-pressed arms 49. The rod 22 is adjusted in length by means of a tubular bottom part provided with a fastening-screw.

Abstract: 7072. Lacrotte, N. March 25. Cars; shock of landing, deadening.-The seats of aeroplanes are adapted to rise and fall under spring control, and may also in some cases be movable rearwards. The seats are carried by crossbars 4 slidable on uprights 2, 2<1> under the action of springs 6, 16. Racks 3<1> inside the uprights 2, 2<1> are engaged by pawls 3<11> mounted on the bar 4 when the seat is raised. When a seat is adapted to move rearwards, it is carried by a cross-piece 10 sliding on racks 13 and pressed forward by a spring 15<1>. Forks 20 are secured to the seat and are fitted with buffers under the propeller, so that when the machine strikes the ground nose first the seat is forced back, whereupon it is locked by pawls 9<1> which engage the racks 13. The pawls are released through a hand-lever 11'. Downwardly-extending rods 4<1> with buffers or wheels 8 are fixed to the cross-bars 4, and on violent landing raise the seats relatively to the machine. Should the machine overturn, the shock of landing is deadened by members 3 which slide on the uprights 2 against the resistance of the springs 6. The members 3 are connected by rods 19.
