Abstract: 14,516. Jenkins, B. B. June 25. Wheel guards and obstruction-removers.-A car life-guard consists of a U-shaped feeler G, impact on which releases a spring - pressed tray E<2> provided with under bars E<3>, Fig. 2, in adjustable hangers D. The feeler slides over the tray, its inner ends passing between vertical guiderollers G<2>, and its outer end being prevented from rising from the tray by a hook G<4>, which engages under the tray bar E<1> until the feeler is driven in far enough to cause the tray to drop. The tray is dropped under the action of springs F as soon as the gravity catches H, which are pivoted on the hangers D, are moved from under the back bar of the frame. This is effected by means of rods I<2>, which join the catches to swinging levers I, against which the shoulders G<1>, Fig. 1, of the feeler are driven on striking an obstacle. The hangers D have staggered notches D', D<2> to give adjustment for various track levels, and they are carried by upturned arms C<1>, which are forked to receive them. Additional forks D' enter the notches D<1>, and pivoted pin-retained locking-bars D<4> enter the notches D<2> and the fork D<3> to fix the hangers in position. A platformlever M and flexible connexions M' may be used to release the catches H. To compensate for oscillation in single-truck cars, as shown, the arms C<1> carry at the outer ends vertical rods K<1> running in guides K, and a part of the weight is taken by springs K'. In double-truck cars, the arms are attached to the car rigidly. The guard is completed by fixed front and side fending-frames J, N. When the bars D' are unlocked, the whole tray and feeler may be turned upon pins N' at the upper ends of the hangers D and folded vertically 'in front of tha car.

The front edge of the top sheet is lifted by pneumatic suckers c on bars c<1> having rollers c<8> adapted to reciprocate on pivoted rails d, which are oscillated by links d<2> and a cam d<3> on the shaft a<2>. The suckers c are reciprocated by links c<3> connected to pivoted arms c<2> operated by bars c<5> and a cam c<6>. The centres of the rollers c<8> are arranged in line with the rear edges of the suction nozzles c, so that the latter can be tilted against the action of spiral springs, by forked levers e rocked by a cam on the shaft a<2> to bend up the edge of the sheet, as shown in Fig. 7, after which the sheet is finally separated by a blast of air from a nozzle f<1>. The suction nozzles are connected alternately to the suction end, and the blast nozzles f to the compression end, of a double-acting pump f, driven by gearing f<2>, f<3> from the main shaft a<2>, by a valve consisting of a casing with six ports, within which is a plug formed with two angular bores and oscillated by means of a toothed sector and a cam on the shaft a<2>. After having separated the sheet, the suckers are lifted from the pile by the rails d and convey the sheet forward to a rotating feed-roller g and a co-operating drop roller h, which feed it beneath a foldiog blade i. The rollers g are driven by chain gearing g<2> and spur gearing g<4> from a wheel g<5> on the shaft a<2>, and the drop rollers h are actuated by link-work trom a cam on the same 'shaft. After being registered against a stop, the sheet is folded between rollers by the blade i, which is reciprocated vertically by a rod il and cam-disk i<2>. The sheet thence passes down a shoot a<6>, between the underside of a feed-roller g and a co-operating roller l, operated by a cam on the shaft a<5>, to a position over a second set of folding-rollers n, between which it is folded at right-angles to the first fold by a second blade actuated by a face cam on the wheel g<4>. The sheet may be further folded by passing to other sets of similarly arranged folding-apparatus, or delivered.
