Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 2591. Holmes, J. H. Jan. 31. Road-vehicle signals; automatic alarm signals. -Relates to a speed-controlling device in which a centrifugal governor is employed to interrupt the electric ignition circuit when a predetermined speed of the vehicle is attained, and in which a disk member e adjusted by the governor is connected to a speed-indicating pointer k, and is adapted to serve as a conductor, to complete an electrical circuit for breaking or short-circuiting the ignition circuit and giving a signal to the driver. As the speed increases, the axial movement of the disk e brings it into contact with two fingers s, t, insulated from one another, and carried by a shaft r having a pointer by means of which it may be set in any position, so that the speed at which contact occurs may be varied. This completes a circuit through the battery B, electric lamp l, disk e, and bell m, and also short-circuits the magneto M. The speed-indicating pointer k is mounted on a spindle o carrying a crank p, which engages the edge of the disk e.

Title: Expanded Metal Machines.
Inventor: WHITE HERBERT EUGENE
IPC: B21D31/04
Filed: 1913-02-06
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 3131. White, H. E. Feb. 6. Expanding; bending-dies.-In an apparatus for expanding slit metal sheets, the sheets are fed by opposed sets of feed rolls and the unslit portions are deflected by a pair of stationary coacting dies. One set of feed rolls 18 is mounted on the stepped faces 13<a> of a set of blocks 13, which are provided with ribs 10, Fig. 4, engaging an inclined groove 15 in a frame 3 fixed to the base-plate. The rolls are carried on shafts 17 mounted in bearings in the blocks 13 and also in bearings in a set of blocks 11, also connected to the frame 3 by ribs and an horizontal groove 12. The rolls are driven by bevel-gearing from a shaft 21, and drive by spur-gearing 24, 25 the spindles 26 of a co-operating set of rolls 27; these are mounted in bearings 28, 29 fixed to a support 31 pivoted at 32 to a frame 5, and pressed forward therefrom by a spring 33 adjusted by a screw 35. The frame 5 is pivoted at 7 and secured in position to the frame 3 by bolts 8, Fig. 1. Between each roll 18 is arranged a stepped filling-block 38, Figs. 12 and 13, which is fixed to one of the blocks 13, and on these blocks 38 are removably fixed a series of stepped lower dies 40, the shoulders 50 on which are inclined to the direction of feed. Coacting with these dies are a similar set of removable dies 45, Figs. 4 and 15, which are secured by screws to a beam 42, Fig. 1, fixed by screws 43 to the frame 3. The beam may be vertically adjusted by screws 51 according to the width of the strand of the slit sheet, and may be adjusted horizontally by a screw 52 according to the thickness of the sheet. The dies 45 project in front of the dies 40 so that their inclined shoulders first engage the sheet and deflect the unslit portions of the sheet, the sheet being thus expanded and forced between the two sets of dies, as shown in Fig. 15. The bearings of the rolls 18 may be lubricated by oil passing from the channel 54 through passages 55 to the channels 56, similar channels being connected to the channels in the lower bearings. The lower bearings 29 of the shafts 26 are provided with pockets 59 supplied with lubricant from pipes 58 on the swinging support 31. The upper bearings thereof may be lubricated through openings in the upper ends of the shafts 26 discharging laterally into the bearings. The sheets are fed in from the right-hand end of the machine as shown in Fig. 1, being kept in a vertical position by a U-shaped guide arranged under the roll pass. The shaft 21 may be supported at its centre by a support 54<a>, sustained by a set-screw 55<a>.

Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 18,317. Roche, D. Aug. 12. Wheel - guards, obstruction - removers, and safety appliances.-Life-guards for motor-cars are composed of netting supported by buffer plungers projecting at the front of the vehicle, and are actuated simultaneously with the brakes and clutch. The operating-gear comprises a crank A, which is pivoted at A<3> and formed with a slotted extension A', and is connected by a rod B to a telescopic push-rod T carrying a ground brake wheel V, and to a link E and bell-crank F carrying a life-guard H. The crank A. can be operated by hand by a second lever C, mounted loosely on the pivot A' and connected to a link D sliding in the slotted extension A<1>. The slot A<2> is formed with notches A' in which the link D engages to lock the apparatus in the applied and released positions. The crank A is also connected to a telescopic pull-rod leading to the rear wheel brakes and fitted with a spring L<1>. This spring actuates the whole apparatus when the link D is displaced from the notch A<5>. When an obstruction is encountered, a plunger J, carried by the lifeguard, is moved rearwards and operates a pivoted plate M, which actuates an extension D' of the link D, thereby displacing the link from the notch A<5>, whereupon the brakes are applied and the life-guard lowered. The lifeguard comprises netting H supported by chains K<1>, which are connected at their ends to arms H<1>, pivoted to links G, and are passed through eyes K provided at the end of the buffer plungers J, the inner ends H<2> of the arms H<1> being connected loosely to the vehicle at H<3>. The links G are connected at their upper ends to the bell-cranks F, and at their lower ends to struts I, mounted on the axle I<1> or other part. In a modified form, the arms H<1> may be made in one piece extending across the vehicle and fixed to the links G, the netting being attached to such arms; and the upper plunger J may be dispensed with. The apparatus may also be actuated by a pedal 0, which is connected, by a link N, to the plate M, and has an extension O<2> bearing on the usual clutch pedal P, so that the clutch is simultaneously disengaged.

Abstract: 18,666. Wharton, H. Aug. 14. Geared pulley-hoists. -In a pulley-block as described in Specification 29,925/13 having a hand-controlled rod m sliding axially through the worm shaft a for unclutching the pull-chain wheel h from the worm shaft and subsequently moving the shaft bodily to relieve the load-sustaining friction at c<3>, the rod is moved by an axially - moving plunger n having rack teeth 3 engaging a pinion 4 in a toothed wheel train 8, 9 which terminates in a handcontrolled wheel 12 or equivalent operating- member. The pullchain wheel h is normally spring-pressed at h<4> into engagement with a clutch i on the member g<2> of the safe speed braking-device g, and the load-sustaining friction is obtained by the thrust of the worm against a friction plate c<2>, washer c', and loose ratchet-wheel c in known manner; as described in the above-mentioned Specification. The plunger n bears on the rod m through a ball n<2> and it travels without rotation in a bearing formed in a sleeve extension 2 of the pulley-block framing, which extension also carries the bearings 7, 11 for the shafts 5, 10 of the plunger - operating train. The inward and outward movements of the plunger are limited by lock-nuts 13 and an end piece 14 which abut respectively on the extension 2 and a stop 15, these being set so that the rod m cannot slide in either direction beyond the positions required for the proper connexion or disconnexion of the chain-pull wheel and the friction load-sustaining device. A spring-operated arrangement may be used to enable the run-down of the load to be stopped at any moment and to return the plunger and its controlling-gear automatically to their normal or load-sustaining position when the handwheel 12 is released. This may be effected by a helical spring attached to the boss of the gearwheel 8 and to the bearing-lug 7 on the framing in such manner as to restore the wheel 8 to its normal position when the hand-wheel is released.
