Abstract: 202,034. Mossay, P. A. H., Mossay & Co., Ltd., and Ransomes, Sims, & Jefferies, Ltd. May 10, 1922. Adjusting fore-carriages for steering. - In an automobile crane, which is both steered and slued by means of the road wheels, one or more pairs of road wheels 12, swivelled for this purpose, are mounted on inclined stub axles 107 so as to bring the wheels close together on the ground. These axles can rise and fall relatively to the steering- pillar, and can pivot about a horizontal axis to facilitate movement over uneven ground. Specification 183,921 is referred to. The invention is described in connection with a crane having front and rear pairs of steering-wheels 12 and two pairs of side wheels 3, one wheel 3 of each pair being driven through reduction gear by a motor 4. The axles 107 of the wheels 12 are carried by a black 108 having a cross-pin sliding in guides 109 on the steering-pillar and restrained by a pair of springs 16 which bear against opposite ends of a lever pivoted on the block. The crosspin allows the block to pivot on a horizontal axis.

Title: Improvements in chain couplings
IPC: F16G15/04
Filed: 1936-05-13
Abstract: 475,107. Chain couplings. ARNE, J. W. E. May 13, 1936, No. 13513. [Classes 24 and 44] In coupling-devices of the kind comprising two hook shaped members 2, Fig. 5 and 9, Fig. 6, adapted to be brought into engagement and secured therein by a sleeve 7 sliding on the member 2 and frictionally retained in position, the sleeve is divided at its upper side and its edges are caused to engage the sides of the member 2 by reason of the resilience of the material of which it is made. In one arrangement as shown in Fig. 4, the edges of the sleeve 7 are flanged inwardly at 6 and engage a groove 5 in the top of the member 2. The sides of the sleeve are sprung outwardly as shown in dotted lines, and when engaged in the groove 5 the frictional resistance to displacement is increased thereby. A modification is shown in Fig. 10 in which the edges of the sleeve 7 are formed with tongues 15 which engage the outside surfaces of the member 2. A spring detent may be formed on the side of the sleeve which is cut away at 12 to accommodate the chain link 4 in its retracted position.

The mounting comprises two spaced annular compression pads 37, 38 each provided with metal facings 39, 40, the outer facings 40 being adapted for connection to a side of the chair and the inner facings 39 being contacted by two spaced limb pairs 35, 36 to which the two links 33, 34 are connected. The two limb pairs are held apart by two links 47, 48 rotatable about a shaft 49. Movement of the parallel links is effected on rotation of a shaft 50 provided with oppositely thread portions 51, 52 engaging a bore in the shaft 49 and a bore in a shaft 54 provided on a bracket 53 fast with the upper link 33. Manual lifting of the cantilever causes the pressure on the pads 37, 38 to be released by rotation of the two links 47, 48 about the shaft 49 and allows the armrest to be adjusted about the side of the chair.

Title: Adjustable width continuous casting mould
IPC: B22D11/04
Filed: 1976-04-05
Abstract: 1482513 Continuous casting F R GLADWIN 5 April 1976 [30 June 1975] 13641/76 Heading B3F The present consideration relates to a continuous casting mould (or at least one of a number of consecutive sections of it) formed by two parallel plates 11 spaced apart by two end members 13 to provide a rectangular cavity. Fig. 3 shows one end in exploded form. At least one side member 13 is located inwardly of the adjacent ends of the plates 11 (e.g. to be held between copper linings 12 possibly machined to provide a curved face) where bolts 18 hold the plates together loosely, there being springs such as Belleville washers 22 urging the plates 11 against the member 13; a block 25 is supported (by the bolts 18 and sleeves 19 in bores 26) between the plates 11 adjacent the end member 13 and bears plungers 51 which can exert pressure on the plates 11 to separate them, against the clamping pressure of the springs 22, to free the end member 13 so that it can be moved, towards or away from the mould cavity axis to determine the width of the strand to be cast, by members 28, 29, Fig. 4, of adjustable length interconnecting the block 25 and member 13. The plungers 51 extend from bores through the block 25 which provide a chamber, between each pair of plungers, to which liquid may be pumped to force the plungers apart, against the plates 11 to move them outwardly. The end member 13, with its copper lining 14, is moved away from the block 25 by the rotation of gears 30, 31 by manual operation of a wrench or crank on a stud 42. The gears rotate screws 29 which thus move threaded sockets 28 axially. These have tongue-and-groove connections 37, 38 with the end member 13. A gear 44 interconnects a drive gear 41 with a secondary gear (45) for transmission of drive to the lower gear 31. To permit tipping of the end member 13, to taper the mould cavity, the idler gear 44 is disengaged, by lifting, so that the secondary gear (45) may be operated independently. The plates 11 have internal passages for the flow of cooling water.
