Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 5605. Mathias, O. March 12, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cigars.-In a cigar-bunching machine of the rolling-apron type, the table is provided with a yielding covering the tension of which may be adjusted, and a tension device for the apron which is capable of lateral movement if desired. The table comprises a wire fabric provided with a stuffing having a cover 17 of leather &c., the wire fabric being attached to two side straps 19, one of which is adjustable laterally by screws 22 which are independent of one another. The rolling-apron 2 is attached to bars 3<a>, 3, by which it may be moved laterally, and passes over guide-rollers 1, 4, the bunching-shaft 18, and the tension device, which consists of two rollers 5 mounted radially on sectors 24, the inclination of which may be adjusted by screws 26. This tension device is mounted on a carriage 25 which is caused to slide by means of a slotted crank 30 and connecting-rod 29, the operative length of which may be varied by means of nuts 34, 31 respectively. The crank 30 is keyed on to a shaft 32 which drives the bunchshaft support 13, so that, during the stroke, the tension of the apron increases and, by suitable adjustments of the crank 30 and connecting-rod 29, may be caused to commence at any point of the stroke, to have greater or less intensity, and to have any length of duration. In a modification, the tension device may be capable of lateral adjustment relatively to the apron. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a modification in which a bunch trough may be caused to rise to the level of a feed-box to receive the bunch to be rolled by a pin on the lever 13, which comes in contact with a double finger carried, together with the trough, by a curved part pivoted to the frame; this subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Inventor: BARKER THOMAS WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-03-24
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 6571. Barker, T. W., and Barker, B. March 24. Safety suspending- apparatus for mining cages, lifts, &c. comprises a suspended vertically. sliding framework attached by springs to the cage and adapted to act, through levers, on wedge-shaped frictional blocks. Fig. 1 shows the mechanism applied to a two-deck mine cage, and Fig. 4 is a detail view of one of the wedge blocks. The cage a suspended by chains d rides between guides c, and on each side there is arranged a skeleton framing comprising vertical bars g and horizontal bars h, h<1> suspended by chains e. The bars h<1> are pulled downwards by springs l attached to the base of the cage. The two skeleton framings are connected by cross-bars, which are adapted to engage the inner ends of levers v, pivoted in brackets on the cage, and carrying wedges t at their outer ends. If the hoisting-cable should break, the springs l pull down the framings, and force the wedges t into inclined brackets k so that they act frictionally on the guides c. The wedges t are pivotally mounted on the levers v, and are kept against the inclined surfaces k by springs y. If a single-deck cage is used, the lower set of gripping-wedges is dispensed with.
