Title: Improvements in and relating to Clutches.
Inventor: BRAMLEY-MOORE SWINFEN
IPC: F16D13/18
Filed: 1911-10-12
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 22,553. Moore, S. Bramley-. Oct. 12. Clutches, friction. - Relates to friction clutches of the cone, segment, or other type, in which two clutch springs acting successively are employed. In a cone clutch, as shown in Fig. 2, the operating- collar Z is connected by a sleeve E to the cone A. A sleeve C is connected to the shaft X by pins C<1> passing through slots D in the sleeve E. Springs B, B' bear between the sleeve C and a cover on the outer cone A<1>, and between the sleeve C and cone A, respectively. The end X<1> of the shaft X engages the hollow end of the shaft Y, the hollow space being connected by a valve V with the ordinary system of forced lubrication employed on a motor-car. Any other dash-pot or similar retarding-device may be employed. In order to bring the clutch into engagement, the disengaging-lever is released, and the cone A moves at once into the position shown under the influence of the spring B<1>, the movement of the shaft X and sleeve C being so retarded by the dash-pot that the pressure of the spring B is applied gradually. In a segment clutch, as in Fig. 4, the segments J are pivoted at one end on the driven frame H, and at the other on levers K also pivoted to the frame, and actuated by springs S<1> connected to levers L pivoted to the frame H. The levers L are connected by a dash-pot T and by a spring S, and are adapted to be engaged by pins P on levers M, which engage the levers K and are operated by a sliding cone R on the shaft to disengage the clutch. When the cone R is withdrawn, the levers K, M move into the position shown under the influence of the springs S<1>, and move the segments J into contact with the drum G. The spring S moves the levers L inwards under the control of the dash-pot T, and so completes the clutching action.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Cranes and Lifting Machinery of like Nature.
Inventor: GILL RAYMOND
IPC: B66C23/10
Filed: 1912-08-12
Granted: 1913-08-12
Abstract: 18,540. Gill, R. Aug. 12. Jib cranes.-Comprises a jib crane in which the load moves in an horizontal path during luffing. The hoisting rope 15 passes from the jib-head pulley over a movable pulley 14 to the winding-drum 21. The pulley 14 moves in guides along an inclined track 6, and its spindle is connected to the jib by ropes 10 passing over a fixed pulley 9, so that when the jib is luffed the pulley 14 is moved to pay out or take in the hoisting-line. The jib is luffed by a motor 19 through toothed gearing and a quadrant 16 fixed to the jib, and the jib is balanced at 5. Slueing gear is provided If the track 6 is straight, the path of the load is only approximately horizontal, but the track may be curved to give a strictly horizontal patch ; or the inclination and curvature of the track may be varied to cause the load to move in any desired way. A method of determining the position of the track 6 by means of a series of ellipses is described in the Specification. In a modification, the ropes 10 pass from the jib to a motor-controlled drum, on which other ropes connected to the pulley 14 are wound in the opposite direction, so that as the motor rotates the drum to luff the jib through the ropes 10, the pulley 14 is simultaneously operated. In this case the jib may be counterbalanced by a weight connected to the pulley 14.

Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 3872. Beidler, G. C. Feb. 14. Cameras fitted with means for treating negatives; enlarging, copying, and reducing. - In apparatus with means for developing and fixing each length of film band as it is exposed, and severing the length of film so treated, the exposed film 68, Fig. 2, is fed by friction rollers 56, 57 into the developing-trough 69, and the developed film is transferred to the fixing-bath 106 by a bar 105 at the end of a reciprocating slide 83, which draws the film over the edge of the tank 69. The film enters the tank 106 face downwards, and at the end of the drawing action a knife 101 cuts the film from the band, and it is then completely immersed in the bath by an oscillating frame 119, which is operated on the return movement of the slide 83. The apparatus is mounted on a stand 20, Fig. 1, for copying, the object support 25 being horizontal and vertically adjustable from the handle 26, for focusing. The frame 31 supporting the camera apparatus can also be racked horizontally from the handle 35. For feeding the correct amount of film on turning the handle 61, a large pinion 59, Fig. 6, thereby rotated, carries a stop 62 which is arrested by a fixed resilient stop 64. For feeding the next length of film, the stop is retracted by pressing the knob 32. The feed-rollers 56, 57 are locked against rotation when the transfer slide 83 is drawn by the spring pawl 75 engaging with the pinion 59, the pawl being retracted when the slide is returned by the action of the slide on the arm 77. The slide may be operated from the handle 82, or from the handle 86 by a rack and pinion 84. The cutting - blade 101 is mounted slantwise at the end of a frame 90, which has a sliding motion limited by the slots 93. The ends 96 are engaged by projections 98 on the slide 83 at the end of the outward movement of the slide, and the frame 90 advanced to cut the film. The frame is returned by other projections 97 on the slide 83 at the end of its return movement. The stationary blade 102 which coacts with the blade 101 is protected from splashes in drawing the film into the fixing- bath by a cover 109, 110 on the frame 90. A drip pan 107 is attached to the tank 69 to catch any drippings from the bar 105. The immersing-frame 119 is raised by the spring 122 during the outward movement of the slide 83, and during the return movement it is lowered by the action of the slide on an arm (not shown) which pulls the frame down against the action of the spring 122.
