Abstract: 17,331. Dental Manufacturing Co., Sonnex, R. W., and Betts, C. F. July 28. Dental seats. - In a dental chair pivotally mounted so that its inclination may be adjusted, a rod 2 is provided projecting from the underside of the main frame and passing through a cylindrical clamp operated by a spring-controlled lever 8. The clamp comprises a split member 3 which is engaged by a screw mounted on the pivot of the lever 8, this lever being rotated by the action of the spring 9 so as to press the parts of the clamp together. The clamp housing 7 is pivoted to the frame by means of set-screws 11, and the rod 2 is pivoted at 10. The back of the chair is angularly adjusted by means of a rod 43 pivoted to the seat and adapted to be engaged by a clamp, shown in Fig. 6, operated by a rod 33. The clamp comprises a split clamping-block 42, through which the rod 43 passes and which is pressed upwards by springs 48 so that it tends to be closed by the action of thrust members 45. The lever 33 actuates spring- controlled wedges 36, 38 arranged so that the operation of the lever in the direction of the arrow A produces a downward motion of the block 42 and allows the same to release the rod 43, while a reverse motion forces the block upwards and locks the rod. The clamping-mechanisms for adjustment of the head-rest and back-rest slides, which are operated by the handles 51, 58 respectively, are as shown in Fig. 9, and comprise blocks 55 adapted to be pressed against a slide 56 by spring-controlled toggle levers 53 and to be released by the action of an elliptic-shaped member 52 rotated by the handle to remove the pressure of the toggle levers. The back-rest proper 30 is adjusted by a pawl 61 having a handle and pivoted in a strap member 62 and adapted to engage a rack 60 on the back-rest. The foot-rest is mounted on parallel links 68, and is adjusted by means of a rack 70 and a pawl 71 operated by a foot-lever 73.

Title: Improvements in Safety Devices for Dough and the like Mixing Machinery.
Inventor: RISDON GEORGE THOMAS
IPC: A21C1/14
Filed: 1914-01-28
Granted: 1915-01-07
Abstract: 2243. Risdon, G. T., and Baker, A. V. Jan. 28. Driving - mechanism; discharging - appliances. -Relates to a safety device for dough and like mixing machines. The mixing-chamber b, which is pivoted about the driving-shaft c, is provided with a guard comprising a hinged grid k and side grids i attached to the chamber b or to the grid k. The grid k is connected by chains m to counterweights and, by chains n running over a guidebar o and pulleys o', o<2>, to the balance-weights h of the chamber b. When the chamber b is in the working position, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, the grid k is held by the chains n to close the chamber and prevent access to the mixing-blades. When the chamber is tilted, the counterweights serve to swing the grid k so as to enable the contents of the chamber to be delivered but, together with the side grids, prevent access to the blades. A stay-rod l connecting the side grids and a stop p on the chains n limit the movement of the grid k. The grid k is extended so that the trolly q has to be in position before tilting of the chamber and to remain in position until the chamber is returned to working position. The driving-gear comprises pulleys c, f driven by crossed and open belts and coupled to the shaft c by friction clutches operated by a handwheel g. A brake-band or locking-device r is arranged around the hub of the wheel g and is connected by a cord or chain s and a frame v, straddling the shaft c, to a pin u on the chamber b, the arrangement being such that during the tilting of the chamber the cord s is tensioned thereby braking the wheel g and declutching the driving-pulley. When the chamber is tilted, the reverse drive may be started to discharge the chamber, and during the return of the chamber, the cord s is again tensioned and the reverse drive declutched. In a modification, the cord s serves to move a belt fork against the action of a spring to bring about the stoppage of the machine. To facilitate the cleaning of the wiper, the bar o and stay-bar l may be removed. The grid k may be formed with spaces around the grid for the insertion of a palette knife for cleaning purposes.

Abstract: 2247. Davies, E. A. Jan. 28. Lift cages, locking.-Keps for supporting pit cages while at rest at the top or bottom of the shaft are so constructed that they may be withdrawn without the cage first. being raised. Each kep is formed in two parts pivoted at B, the supporting-member A being bifurcated at its heel to receive a jaw on the member D, lugs L on this member normally abutting against stops J on the member A. A keps shaft E mounted in the bracket C supporting the kep carries one or more arms F on or between which is arranged a roller H adapted to engage the tail of the member D. The cage, in rising, knocks up the member A as shown in dotted lines, the member falling back under its own weight after the cage passes. To release the kep, the shaft E is rocked by suitable means from a hand-lever, and the arm F moves upward, allowing the two parts of the kep to rock as a whole about their pivot in a counter-clockwise direction The cage may then be lowered. The angle between the arms F, D in their normal positions should not be greater than ninety degrees so that the arm F does not kick upwards prematurely. Suitable stops M, N are provided to limit the upward movement of the kep and the downward movement of the arm F. Parts of the mechanism may be weighted, so that after the cage is lowered the kep automatically swings back to the position shown in Fig. 1. Two keps are used to support each end of a cage and the shafts E at opposite sides are connected so as to operate together from either side of the shaft.
