Title: Improvements in or relating to Planing Machines and the like.
Filed: 1903-08-11
Granted: 1903-12-10
Abstract: 17,444. Smith, W. D. Ford-, Coventry, T., and Smith & Coventry. Aug. 11. Planing. - Relates (1) to the utilization of the energy of planing and like machine tables at the end of each stroke, and (2) to means for driving the table from a continuouslyrotating pulley. Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 illustrate the first part of the invention. The shaft a, which drives the table, has the spurwheel g loosely mounted on it, and has slidingly keyed to it a half - clutch d, provided with tapered teeth or projections. The other half-clutch is secured to the wheel. The power transmitted through the clutch causes the compression of the spring b, which expands on the reversal of the wheel, and assists in the movement. Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 9 show the means of reversing from a continuously-driven pulley. Each side of the wheel is made as a half-clutch, the other halves being actuated by the sleeves w, 8, which are moved to place one or other clutch in gear by means of levers 9, 10, 14. The lever 14 is actuated by a rod and tumbler 17, through adjustable springs. The lever 14 may be locked in either extreme position by a spring pin 24 as shown in Fig. 9. Any form of clutch may be used, the one shown comprising a divided friction-ring m, which is expanded or contracted by rotating a nut z on the ends of the screwed links 2, 3. The nut is rotated through rack-and-pinion gear by moving the sleeve w or 8 endwise. The friction-rings are carried on discs, one q of which is keyed to the shaft, while the other is keyed on a sleeve carrying a pinion v.

Granted: 1904-06-23
Abstract: 8648. Shiek, D. W. April 15. Calculating-apparatus.-In order to obtain a rotation of a spindle to a degree corresponding to the value of a given key of a keyboard, the key on being depressed serves to limit the movement of a bar, and this limited movement governs the motion of the spindle. The bar 28 has teeth 29 which, before the bar is moved, are at distances from the ends of the key-rods 23 corresponding with the values of the keys, and the bar is connected by the link 30 to the sector 3. The arm carrying the pinion 2 moves a fixed distance to the right, and the pinion moves the sector 3 until the end of the depressed key meets the nearest tooth 29, when the sector 3 stops and the rest of the movement of the pinion is communicated to the sector 4, and by it to the pinion 5. If required, the pinion 5 only gears with the sector during the forward movement described ; the arm is carried by links 7 pivoted at 6, and the movement of a handle lifts the links 7 and then rotates the arm forward, while in the return movement it allows the arm to drop. A key when depressed is retained till required by the bar 24, pressed by a spring into a notch in the key bar. The forms and positions of the sectors 3, 4 and the pinion 2 are interchangeable, and the sectors may be replaced by racks, the pinion 2 being allowed freedom of movement along the arm carrying it, or the pinion may be replaced by a double lever with grooves in which slide pins on bars 3, 4.

Title: Grab Buckets
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1905-09-26
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 19,424. Fairweather, W., [Brown Hoisting Machinery Co.]. Sept. 26. Grabs.-Relates to single-chain grabs with block and pulley operating - mechanism, and comprises means for automatically effecting the opening and closing of the grab. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the grab and Fig. 4 the construction of the catch devices &c. The bucket is made up of an exterior frame H, having a rail or track- L, secured to the bottom, upon which are hung sliding blocks b pivotally connected by arms p to coupling-pieces a, sliding vertically along guides g in the frame. Each coupling-piece a has an upward extension n which is provided with a shoulder n<1>, and is pivoted in its seat by a pin v. The lower block C, carrying the sheaves M, is semicylindrical in shape, and is provided with a pair of catch-devices each consisting of an upright spring-pressed plunger P, operating a pair of toggle-like levers l, t, adapted to withdraw the catch W from engagement with the shoulder n<1>. The lower part of th'e catch W is connected with the lever l by a bell-crank lever e and link f. The two plungers P are connected by links to ensure equal motion. When the grab is opened to gather up a load, the block G and the coupling-pieces a are at the bottom of their travel, and the catches W are in engagement with the shoulders n. The rope R is then hoisted and the grab closes, the parts C, a rising until the stops d<1> are engaged. The load is then raised and traversed to the dumping point, where a hanging rope engages the dumping-lever A', thereby pressing the studs A and operating the plungers. The catches W are thus disengaged and the bucket opens by its own weight, the coupling-piece a sliding down the guides g. Tumblers t<1> prevent these coupling- pieces from rising again until the block C is lowered and the catches W engaged against the shoulders n<1>. In this arrangement, the weight of the bucket. is always taken by the rope R, but in a modification, shown in Figs. 7 and 12, the bucket is arranged to hang directly from the trolley during traversing. To prevent the bucket from opening when its weight is taken off the rope R, a hook h is provided hinged to the upper part of the croupling- piece a. When the bucket is closed, this hook engages a catch-piece F<1>, having one or more crossshelves F<2>, and connected to the supporting-arms B<1> by a pin v<1> which slides in a vertical slot in the frame. When the weight of the bucket is transferred to the arms B', the catch-piece F<1> slides vertically until one of the cross-shelves F<2> engages the hook h. A guard-rod k prevents the hook from becoming accidentally disengaged.

Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 5359. Machmudbekoff, K. March 5. Deep-boring.-In an apparatus for the rope boring of wells, the tool is partly rotated during the up-stroke of the rope. The rotating-gear comprises racks gearing with wheels on the tool shaft and capable of sliding in a casing which is prevented from rotating by a brake arrangement. In the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the tool shaft 4 is formed with a toothed boss 7, engaged by spring pawls 8 carried by wheels 5 freely mounted on the shaft 4 and in gear with two racks 3, which may slide in grooves 3 in the casing 1. The shaft is provided with a box 10 carrying balls 16 surmounted by a cap 11 which is secured to the casing 1 by two arms 12. The racks 3 are secured at the bottom to a bar 18 and at the top to a part 21. The rope 25 is secured to a part 24 which may move up and down on a bolt 26 attached to the part 21. The casing 1 carries plates 30, which are pressed against the lining tube by springs 29 and owing to the longitudinal seam prevent rotation of the casing. In a modification, the ends of the arms 12 enter slots in the top of the casing 1 and have slight play therein, the movement being limited by a disk, and the plates 30 are forced out by means of links jointed to the shaft 4. In operation, the apparatus is lowered into the well, and, after the chisel has reached the ground, the racks 3 descend till the part 21 meets the top of the casing 1. During the down-stroke, the pawls 7 slip on the wheel 4. When the rope is raised, the chisel 1 is rotated while at the bottom of the well by the pawls 7.
