Patent GB-191008111-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Overhead Weight Carrying Devices.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: B66C9/14
Filed: 1910-04-04
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 8111. Lake, H. W., [New Jersey Foundry and Machine Co.]. April 4. Overhead travellers and transporters; trollies for runways.-Comprises means for readily connecting and disconnecting the traversing gear of overhead travellers and runway trollies. Figs. 1 and 2 show the invention applied to a runway trolly. The trolly is carried on the runway by wheels 12, one pair of which are formed integral with toothed wheels 13 adapted to be driven by pinions 16. The pinions are slidable on their shaft 20, and are formed with internal V-shaped cam slots with which pins 26 on the shaft engage, so that, when the shaft is rotated in either direction, the pinions are eventually brought into gear with the wheels 13 and traverse the trolly. For light loads, the shaft is left in an intermediate position, so that the pinions are out of gear and the trolly is dragged along. On traversing curves when the pinions are in gear, the outer wheel causes its pinion 16 to overrun the shaft 20, and that pinion consequently slides out of gear, so that slipping of the track wheels is prevented. The pinions may be prevented from accidentally sliding into gear by a spring 39. The front end of the trolly may be suspended by a swivel bolt 32 from another pair of wheels. The load is suspended from a hook 36.

Abstract: 2293. Allen, D. L., and Utting, S. Jan. 30. Indicators actuated by pressure of head of liquid.-A flexible tube containing a liquid is connected at one end to a pressure gauge also filled with the liquid while the other end passes into a vessel partly filled with the same liquid and partly with air under pressure. The variation in the head of liquid in the flexible tube, according to the vertical distance between the pressure gauge and the closed vessel, produces corresponding variations in the reading of the gauge; so that, when the closed vessel is lowered, the depth is obtained from such reading. The flexible tube a, Fig. 5, passes into the vessel e, which is enclosed in a protecting vessel d, insulation being obtained by the use of pieces j of badly conducting material on which the end pieces g, h of the tube abut: the space b may also be exhausted. The tube a after passing through the cap h by an airtight joint, passes through and is preferably sweated into, the eyebolt m screwed into the casing d. The tube a is preferably strengthened as shown above the eye m by being wound round with wire or braided; it passes round the winch 3, Fig. 1, and its end is connected to one or more indicators c, which may be of the ordinary Bourdon type, a screw plug being preferably provided on the indicator, through which it and the tube a can be filled. It is also preferred to force air through the non-return valve g into the space r above the fluid in the vessel e, to an initial pressure of about 150 pounds per square inch. The internal vessel e may take other forms than that shown, and a combined indicating and recording device may be used. The winch employed has a stationary drum 3 and a rotatable balanced winding-arm v, from a pulley w on the end of which the tube a is guided on to the drum. Two sets of gearwheels 4, 5 are provided. For measuring the draught of ships or the level of water &c. in wells or the like, the vessel d may be mounted so as to float on the water in the well or in a shaft passing through the bottom of the ship, suitable means being provided for taking up the slack in the tube a.

Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 18,367. Jensen, C. A., [Yale & Towne Manufacturing Co.]. Aug. 14. Loading-appliances. - Relates to grappling- tongs for lifting projectiles, and consists in an inverted U-shaped frame provided with a pair of pivoted latches which are raised into a non- acting position while the apparatus is being passed over a projectile and fall again to engage the projectile below its greatest diameter, thereby supporting it during the lifting-operation. Fig. 1 shows one construction of the apparatus, in which the cam-shaped gravityactuated latches 3 are mounted in the flared ends of the frame 1, which has lateral projections to steady the projectile to be lifted. Screws 5 working in slots on the latches limit their movements in both directions. In the acting position, surfaces 7 on the latches abut against the frame to relieve the screws of the weight of the load. When the apparatus is lowered on to the projectile to be lifted, this raises the latches into such a position that it can pass into the frame. As soon as the greatest diameter of the projectile has passed above the latches, these fall automatically into the acting position. The latches may be raised independently by handles 9, or simultaneously by cords 20. In modified constructions, various arrangements of springs or weights are used which in some cases force the latches into the acting position and in other cases maintain them normally in the non- acting position. In one construction, a weight is mounted on a rotary arm that can be positioned to maintain the latches normally in either position. The handle 9 may be mounted on the pivot pin of the latches, also the latch may be pivoted to brackets extending below the arms of the U-shaped frame. Screwed rods may be inserted through one arm of the frame to engage one side of the projectile instead of using both latches or one of the latches may be fixed.
