Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 5207. LefÞvre, E. March 13. Displaying.-Relates to vehicles adapted for displaying and for the transport of goods. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the vehicle a is -divided into three compartments h, i, k by travelling frames d, e. These frames have back-walls f,g, and are intended for exhibiting goods, and are movable so that the centre compartment i, in which goods are transported, may be increased or diminished in size at will. Strips l of felt, rubber, or the like are attached to the walls f, g, and fit tightly against the cover b and bottom c for mutually excluding dust. The centre compartment may be provided with a shelf m, and the vehicle may be suitably illuminated. The plateglass windows o are fixed with elastic packing in frames p which can be moved vertically by hand or a crank. Over the slots in the roof through which the frames p pass, gutters r are pivoted on hinges q, so that the gutter automatically rises or falls as the corresponding frame p is moved up or down. Small show windows may also be provided at the back of the vehicle, and the various windows may have suitable awnings &c.

Title: An Improved Apparatus for Indicating and Recording the Speed and Stoppages of Vehicles, Motor Cars and the like.
Inventor: BONN JACOB
Filed: 1905-06-19
Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 12,663. Bonn, J. June 19. Logs.-A clock-driven drum carries a paper printed for time, which receives a mark for each unit of distance traversed, and a different continuous mark during each stoppage. The drum H, which receives an axial as well as a rotary motion, is fixed to a hollow sleeve with an external screwthread E. This sleeve has a key fitting a slot on a main shaft D driven by clock-work, while the screw is engaged by a bent end of an angle'lever J pivoted to the framing. The sleeve and drum consequently rotate with the main shaft and are drawn along it by the angle lever J and screw. Distance marks are made by a line type at the end of a pivoted bar K having an arm L resting on a small cam M driven through worm gear by a flexible shaft. A second cam and marker for fractional distances may be added. An ink roller N or other device is provided for the type. Stoppages are marked by a pencil on a second pivoted bar V which is at right-angles to the first. The flexible shaft drives a cylinder T with a screwthread of very large pitch engaging the inside of a correspondingly - threaded cylinder. When the shaft is turned, its cylindrical end first rises inside the hollow cylinder, and an extension S raises the stoppage marker out of contact with the second drum. If desired, the hollow cylinder may be driven directly by the shaft, and the cylinder T may move in guides. The flexible shaft is driven preferably by a single-turn spiral on a wheel engaging a spur-wheel. The drum can be re-set by moving the free end of the angle lever J and sliding the drum to its initial position. The apparatus is applicable to ships, engines, and the like.

Abstract: 16,079. Traylor, J. A. July 12. Sifting ores &c.- Relates to apparatus for wet or dry screening ores or other materials, in which the screen is reciprocated both vertically and horizontally, t h e upward movement being arrested abruptly. The screen-supporting frame 18, Figs. 1, 3, 4, and 5, is suspended by rods 16 having hooked ends engaging in the eyes of spring- pressed rods 15 carried by brackets 13 on the side bars 2 of the stationary frame 1. The frame 18 is reciprocated horizontally by an eccentric 9 on the driving-shaft 5, an eye-bolt 42 at the rear end of the frame being connected to a bolt 44 which passes loosely through the rear end of the frame 1 and is surrounded by a spring 46. A pair of links 23 is pivotally connected to each depending ear 14 of the brackets 13, and a link 24 pivoted between the lower ends of the links 23 is connected at its lower end to lugs on the plates 17 which carry the rods 16. The pins connecting the links 23, 24 pass through couplers 26, 27 connected by adjustable rods 28. The links 23, 24 constitute toggles which force the frame 18 down as they straighten out, the springs 20 of the rods 15 drawing it up when the links have passed the centre line. Buffers 47 on the corner plates 19 of the frame 18 contact with the heads of adjustable bolts 49 carried by brackets 48 on the sides of the frame 1. The couplers 27 are formed with bifurcations 27A, and are connected by arms 29 to arms 30, 31 on a rock-shaft 32 mounted on the frame 1. The arm 31 comprises two members 34, 35, Fig. 10, which are secured to each other and to the shaft 32 and have depending arms 34A between which is pivoted a block 36 receiving the outer end of the eccentric-rod 12 of an eccentric 10 on the shaft 5 Springs 37, 37A encircle the rod 12 on each side of the block 36. The eccentrics 9, 10 are set opposite to each other and have preferably the same throw. The frame 18 carries a pan 50 having a discharge opening 51 in the bottom at its forward end, and an extension in the form of a shoot 52 which projects over the shaft 32 and serves to discharge tailings from the screen. The wire-cloth or sheet-metal screen 53 is held in the pan 50 by bars 57 secured by clamps 58, and is prevented from sagging by longitudinal strips 55 and transverse wires 56 arranged beneath it. The screen 60, Fig. 6, employed for wet screening is of similar construction to the screen 53, but is provided with a catch-plate 61 beneath it extending to within a short distance of the forward end of the sieve frame. The plate has transverse riffles 63, which may consist of metal strips secured to the plate, but are preferably formed by imprinting grooves or channels in the underside of the plate. The apparatus is set at an inclination, and a series of screens may be used.
