Title: Improvements in Compound Levers.
Inventor: GILBERT WALTER VILLA
IPC: B66C3/00
Filed: 1909-12-10
Granted: 1910-12-12
Abstract: 28,948. Gilbert, W. V. Dec. 10. Springs, mounting bodies on. - Relates to compound levers of the type having opposing arms connected by a back part and so adapted that, when actuated, they are caused to operate in a plane at an angle to the line of actuation. Resilient devices of this type are described in Specifications 19,727/05, 8316/06, 22,710/06, and 28,097/07. In the present invention, the device is not formed of resilient parts but of rigid articulated elements, and it is adapted to be actuated by means of the back or the arms. The arrangement consists essentially of a back portion comprising side or end members b, Figs. 1 and 1A, hinged to an intermediate fulcrum member b<1>, and opposing arms comprising outer or side members a and intermediate members a<1> connected at their free ends a<2>, a<3>. The arm intermediate-members a' are connected to the intermediate fulcrum member b' of the back, the arm side-members a being connected to the back end-members b. In this arrangement, when the parts b of the back approach or separate, the arms approach or separate correspondingly in a plane at rightangles to the direction of actuation, as shown in Fig. 2. Several modifications are shown in which the relative directions of movement depend upon the relative lengths of the back intermediate and end members b<1>, b, and also upon whether the intermediate member is forward or to the rear of the end members. The opposing arms may be of different lengths or may be connected to the back end members b at different distances from the joints b<3>. In these cases the respective arms move to different extents. The back or the arms, or both, may each comprise more than one intermediate member. Guides, checks, springs, &c. may be used to aid or control the operation of the device. As shown, for example, in Fig. 11, part of one member may be removed, guides e being used. A constructional form is shown in Figs. 13 and 13B, in which disconnectible ball-andsocket joints d and hinge joints b<8>, c<1>, a<2>, a<3> connect the various parts, the back end parts b, b<2> being rigidly connected by studs b<5> and screws b<4>, while the hinges c connecting the arm and back intermediate members may be formed as end attachments, as shown in Fig. 15, being secured to a squared part b' by screws b<8>, which also serve as pivotal connexions for the back end members b<2>. In Fig. 17, the arrangement is shown embodied in a system of vehicular suspension adapted to absorb road shocks. The axle z of a pair of wheels y forms an extension of one back end member b or is connected thereto by brackets y<1>. The back intermediate member b<1> is non-rotatably mounted in slotted guide brackets e attached to the vehicle frame x. The arm members a<1> may be guided by auxiliary means. The parts are controlled and absorb shocks by means of springs w between the back members b, and by horizontal springs not shown, between the opposing arms, or between the latter and stops on the vehicle frame.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Locks.
Inventor: ZIRON PAUL
IPC: E05B21/00
Filed: 1909-05-22
Granted: 1910-07-22
Abstract: 15,826. Ziron, P. May 22, 1909. Lock mechanism; preventing picking.-Locking-mechanism is so arranged that the bolt remains locked if the levers be destroyed. The bolt is normally locked against withdrawal by the key by means of a pivoted detent 36 engaging a projection 32 on the slide 18, by means of which the bolt is withdrawn, the key acting on a bar 21, the end 20 of which engages a projection 19 on the slide. The detent 36 can fall to release the slide 18 only when sliders 24 move such distances as to bring their notches 34 into line and under the detent. The distances through which the sliders are to move are determined by notches 30 in a series of levers 1 actuated by the key, the sliders being moved by springs 25 into the notches when the levers are set. When the key is turned back after unlocking, the bar 21 returns to its original position under the action of a spring 39, and the sliders 24 are carried back by a projection 37 on the bar, the spring 39 being stronger than the springs 25. The detent is raised into the locking position by means of the bevelled sides of the slider notches 34. Should the levers be destroyed, the sliders would spring forward as far as the projection 37 on the bar 21 would allow, but this distance being greater than the depth of the deepest slot 30, the notches of the sliders would be carried beyond their releasing position. A link 27 pivoted to the casing has a pin 28, which normally engages notches in slots 29 in the sliders 24. Unless the levers 1 are so set as to enable all the sliders to move simultaneously, and thereby push the pin 28 out of the notches in the slots 29, the sliders are prevented from moving forward. The levers 1 are preferably actuated through sliding frame pieces 9, and may be arranged on adjustable pivot-pieces 4 to enable the combination to be changed. The mechanism may be combined with the master-key mechanism described in Specification 478/10.
