Title: Improvements connected with Elevators or Conveyors.
Inventor: DONALD PERCY GEIKIE
IPC: B65G47/00
Filed: 1911-06-21
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 14,713. Donald, P. G., and Matthews, M. H. June 21. [Cognate Application, 21,612/11.] Discharging - devices for endless - chain conveyers and elevators. - In elevators and conveyers in which flexible slings or pockets are suspended from cross-rods connecting a pair of endless chains, means are provided for preventing fouling of the articles carried with the cross-rods during delivery at the receiving- platform. In one form, Fig. 2, a swinging counterweighted plate 1 is normally sustained by a catch in the position shown. On contact of the descending sling 5 therewith, the article 18 rolls down the inclined plate 1 from beneath the cross-rod 4. The cross-rod 4 then releases the catch and engages the plate 1 and depresses it into alinement with the receiving-platform 17, whereupon the delivery takes place. The plate 1 then swings up, and is sustained by the catch. In a modification, Fig. 12, a board 20 balanced by a counterweight 22 and provided with rollers 24 running on a cam-guide 23 is provided with a retractible abutment which is engaged by the cross-rod 4 of the descending carrier, and pushes the article 25 back from beneath the cross-rod 4 on to a fixed platform 1 in alinement with the delivery platform 17.

Title: Improvements in Shipping Gears for Friction Clutch Couplings.
Inventor: BENN HANS HAMILTON
IPC: F16D13/04
Filed: 1911-08-11
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 18,190. Benn, H. H. Aug. 11. Clutches, friction; gearing for stopping and starting machinery.-Relates to operating-gear for friction clutches. The shaft a carries a bolt g which passes through a web c on a sleeve b loose on the shaft and provided with a handwheel d. The sleeve has a screw-thread c engaging a thread on a second sleeve l, which carries a hand-wheel m and has a removable flange p loosely engaging the clutch sleeve n. Either or both hand-wheels may be held and turned to move the clutch sleeve in the required direction. The hand-wheels may be made heavy, so that. when the parts are rotating and one is held by the hand, the momentum of the other will operate the clutch. Or the friction between the flange p and the clutch sleeve may be arranged to be greater than that between the screw-threads, to produce the same result. The screw-threads may disengage at both ends of their travel.

Abstract: 18,377. Marks, E. C. R., [Hutchinson's Scales Co.]. Sept. 12, 1910. Pendulum-weight apparatus.-Relates to a weighing-scale by means of which an approximate weighing is first made before the more delicate mechanism for the final weighing is used, and the invention consists primarily in providing means for gripping the scale beam during the approximate weighing. In the scale shown in the Figure, the beam a mounted on a fulcrum 14 preponderates on the right-hand side by a little over 56 lb. with the adjustable weight b in the position shown. A loaded pointer l and flexible band 10, such as is described in Specification 14,495/09, are attached to the end of the beam and are used during the final weighing. In weighing out 56 1b. 8 ozs. of butter, the pan d is lowered on to the table by turning a handle 7, the loaded pointer l is supported on a peg 9, a pair of levers s, t are drawn together by turning a handle v so as to grip the beam between a pair of springs 1, 2, the butter is placed on the pan d, the pan raised into gear, butter removed or added until a mark 4 on the beam registers with a fixed pointer 3, the peg 9 removed, and the beam released from the springs 1, 2. The butter is then finally adjusted until the pointer registers with a mark f on the centre of a scale e.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 21,411. Railing, A. H., and Angold, A. E. Sept. 20. Arc lamps.-A magazine lamp is provided with subsidiary electrodes, which come into use during the feeding of fresh electrodes from the magazines, or during ordinary feeding movements if these are too slow to maintain the principal arc. In the inclined-electrode lamp shown diagrammatically, one of the auxiliary electrodes is stationary while the other N<1> is hung from a pivot and has an arm carrying a pin which enters a slot in a vertical rod E. This rod is connected to the regulating-lever A and by a lever F and link G to a swinging magazine K. A catch D controlling the feeding- mechanism is mounted on the same pivot as the regulating-lever and bears a pin D<1> in the path of this lever. The mechanism is designed so that small motions of the regulating-lever and of the swinging magazine correspond to a large motion of the subsidiary electrode N<1>; hence after the subsidiary arc is struck the main electrodes are still fed until they meet at or near the normal arcing position, the main arc being then struck and the subsidiary electrodes widely separated. Separate economizers may be provided for the main and subsidiary electrodes.

Abstract: 17,596. Rudolph, C., and Rudolph, O. July 31. Moulds.-A multiple mould for forming artificial pumice-stone blocks &c. comprises a series of transverse bars 5 carried upon supports 2, U-shaped members 6 fitting over the bars 5 and constituting the bottom of the moulds, vertical transverse partitions 7 fitting between the members 6, and longitudinal partitions 13, 14, 15 fitting into vertical slits in the partitions 7. The transverse bars 5 are clamped between a fixed end member 3 aud a movable end member 4 operated by a screw 17 and hand-wheel 19. Lugs 8 are formed on the ends of the partitions 7 to receive guide rods 9, 10, on which are threaded distance-sleeves 11. The bars 5 are connected together by chain links 16 so as to be successively separated from the moulded blocks on operating the screw 17. In opening the moulds to separate the moulded blocks, the longitudinal partitions 13,14,15, are first withdrawn and after separating the bars 5 by operating the screw 19, the partitions 7 are turned about the guide rod 9. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which, instead of the chain links, resilient strips 21 are inserted between the members 6 and partitions 7, these strips serving to separate the partitions 7 when the screw 17 is released and being compressed, together with the material in the moulds, when the screw is tightened.
