Title: Improvements in Lock Gates.
Inventor: SCHILDHAUER EDWARD
Filed: 1908-04-06
Granted: 1909-04-06
Abstract: 7595. Schildhauer, E. June 24, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Canals and rivers.-Comprises a construction of lock gate of the roller type having an extension guided by rollers and ways. For the purpose of maintaining the stability of the lock gate when being withdrawn from its seal, the extension is provided with guide-rails engaging lateral guiderollers in the dock side. A break is made in the rails in such a position that, when the gate is being sealed, slight lateral movement is possible, the gate being mounted on roller bearings to allow lateral movement. At one end of the canal is a sealing- recess 5 having a vertical sealing-beam 6, which engages the sealing-strip 7 on the gate. A sealing- strip 6<1> runs across the channel and engages with the strip 7<1> on the gate. Opposite the recess 5 is a recess 8 for receiving the gate when open. The gate is built with a number of air chambers 12, normally below the water line, to reduce the weight on the tracks. This construction tends to make the gate unstable, and rails 4 and guide-rails 14, 15, fitted along the upper parts of the sides of the gate, are therefore used to keep the gate vertical. These rails 14, 15 continue along the extension 13 and engage with rollers 21, 22 and 27, 28. The distance between each pair of rollers equals the length of the extension 13, so that when the gate is closed, the end of the rail 14 is opposite the roller 22. The rail 15 is cut away at 30 and at its end 31, these notches appearing opposite the rollers 27, 28 when the gate is closed, so that the gate can shift laterally into or but of 'the sealing position. - The lateral play is provided by roller bearings 29 interposed, between the gate and the trucks, the bearings being inclined upwardly toward the sealing side. The power house 32 is supported on a coping 31<1> over the recess 8. The machinery operates the gate through chains 34, 35, which pass around driving-sheaves and are attached to blocks 36, 37.

Title: Improvements in Grabs.
Inventor: MACDONALD JAMES
Filed: 1908-04-27
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 9132. MacDonald, J., and Barnard, D. J. April 27. Grabs.-The suspension chain of a single-chain grab is coiled on a spring drum mounted in the grab frame and having a gravity pawl connexion with a pair of bucket-closing drums, the grab opening by gravity when the pawl is released, and the spring being re-tensioned during the discharge In one form of grab shown in Fig. 1, the bucket sections bare pivotally mounted ou a frame a and are connected by links to cross-heads f, which are supended by chains j<1> from pulleys rigidly mounted on a shaft e. The hoisting-chain c is fastened to the rim of a drum loosely mounted at the centre of a shaft e and connected thereto by a coiled spring. On one face of the drum d are mounted guides g', between which slides a gravity pawl g adapted to engage in one direction with the nose e<2> of a cam formed on the shaft e. When the open grab descends and rests on the material to be lifted, the coiled spring rotates the drum d and winds the chain c thereon until a stop i on the frame engages a. stop in a helical groove on one side of the drum, the pawl g then falling into engagement with the cam e<2>. If the chain c is hauled, the drum d and the shaft e are rotated and the grab is closed. and may be lifted and swung to the discharging - point. The catch g is disengaged to allow the grab to open by means of a forked member k sliding on the shaft e and connected to. a spring-controlled. twoarmed lever k<2>. The forked member k has a shoulder engaging a bevelled projection on the pawl g. The outer arm of the lever k<2> passes freely through a ring suspended from the jib head, and, when the grab is lowered, the lever is forced upwards and the pawl g withdrawn. The grab buckets fall apart under the weight of their load, and by rotating the shaft e re-coil the spring. within the drum d..In a modified form of grab shown in Fig. 4, the shaft e is journaled in the crosshead f, and the chains j<1> are. attached to a fixed cross-bar a<1> of the frame a. When the open grab rests on the material, the spring within the drum d winds up the loose rope c. The rope c is then hauled in and rotates the drum d, which, on account of the engagement of the pawl g with the cam e<2>, rotates the shaft e and winds up the chains j<1>, causing the buckets b to close around the'load. The grab is discharged in the same way as in the form of construction described. The coiling of the rope c?on the drum d is limited by stops c', c<2> engaging the frame a.

Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 2361. Lock, W. H., Pearce, H., and Parker, T. R. G. Feb. 1. Delivery apparatus; sheet feed-tables.-Comprises (1) improved means for changing delivery trays without stopping the machine, (2) a drop-sheet delivery apparatus having tappet-actuated sheetguiding and holding fingers, and (3) a slidablymounted horizontally adjustable feed - board for slip sheets. (1) The delivery tray 1 is supported at each side by arms 2 mounted on two intergeared shafts 3. Normally the tray is in the position shown, but when it is full, and a fresh tray must be inserted, the full tray is lowered on the arms 2 by turning the shafts 3, through a handle 23 working through a speed-reduction gear 16, and having a spring holding-detent 24. A fresh set of arms 2 is then in position to receive an empty tray, and the full tray is removed. If desired, as shown in Fig. 7, the arms 2 may have rollers 63 at their ends, also their ends may be connected by continuous rails or bars 62. (2) The drop-sheet tapes 39 are mounted as usual on rollers carried by shafts 42, 38, running in bearings in the frame 30. This frame has wheels 49, and is reciprocated by rack-and-pinion gearing. The tapes 39 are driven on their backward movement only, so as to let the sheet drop on the pile by gearing 44, 45, actuating the shaft 42 through a free-wheel. A second freewheel may be used to prevent backward motion of the shaft 42. Above the shaft 42 are arranged fingers 52, pivoted at 50, and actuated through a link 54 and a cam 55. At the beginning of the return stroke, the fingers 52 are raised through the release of a catch 57 by engaging a stop 58, and the sheet is allowed to pass over the rollers on the shaft 42. At the end of the return stroke, the fingers 52 are reset, so as to prevent the next sheet from passing too far forwards, by the engagement of the cam 55 with the stop 61. (3) The feedboard 64 for slip sheets is mounted on sliding bars 65, which may be clamped in any position by a setscrew 69, so that, when slip sheets less than full size are being laid over a forward portion of the design, the feed-board may overlap the delivery trays, as shown by dotted lines.
