Title: Improvements in or relating to Excavating Machines, Grabs, and Cranes.
Inventor: GROSSMITH ALFRED ROGER
IPC: E02F3/30
Filed: 1909-12-13
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 15,073. Grossmith, A. R. Dec. 13, 1909. Jib cranes.-In excavator and grab-operating cranes, a pair of friction disks having conical driving-faces is employed to impart reversible motion to two or more similar disks on shafts actuating the various parts of the machine. In the form shown, friction disks 7, 10, 11 are mounted on shafts having eccentric or sliding bearings so that the disks may engage with either of two disks 15 on the driving-shaft. The disk 7, through the shaft 6, operates the traversing-gear, the disk 10 operates the slueing-gear by means of bevel-pinions 10<a>, 10<b>, and the sprocket-wheel 9<a>, which engages an endless chain frictionally gripped in a ring 9 attached to the trolly, and the disk 11 serves to raise and lower the digging-arm. The driving - shaft of the engine also carries a grooved friction pinion 15<a>, which, through the friction wheel 15b, serves to raise the bucket. The friction wheel 15<b> can be placed by means of lever 19 in contact with the pinion 15<a>, or with the brake block 20 to hold or lower the bucket.

The locking-block, which envelopes the shank, has a single locking-tooth for engagement with the shank teeth 8, and a knurled finger-piece to which is attached a leaf spring for maintaining the locking-block normally in locking position.
Patent GB-191022100-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Delivering and Counting Tokens or Counters.
Inventor: WIGG CHARLES
Filed: 1910-09-23
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 22,100. Wigg, C. Sept. 23. Money - delivering apparatus.- An apparatus for delivering or issuing a single token or counter at each operation from a supply of tokens or counters placed in the machine, and for automatically registering the number of tokens or counters delivered, c o m - prises a hopper with a louvered base having a series of movable plates or tongues arranged between the fixed plates, whereby the tokens are fed forward step by step, and discharged down a shoot to a tube, from which they are ejected singly. The base of the tube is formed by means of a sleeve mounted on a balanced lever, and is adapted to stop the feed of the tokens when the number in the tube exceeds a predetermined weight. The tokens are stored in a hopper 1, and are agitated by means of an endless chain 6, adapted to be rotated by a pawl carrying arm 43 which is oscillated by an arm attached to a slide 3. The tension of the chain is adjusted by means of a screw 11 on a pivoted bracket 12. The slide 3 is reciprocated by means of a roller on an arm 39, which is rocked by the main lever 25. To the slide is attached a number of tongues 4, which pass between the fixed plates 2 forming the base of the hopper. When the slide is reciprocated, the tongues 4 advance the tokens and finally discharge them through an aperture on to a helical shoot 16, by means of which they pass to a tube 18. An operation of the main lever at the same time effects through the links 27, 28, 29 the rocking of a shaft 30, which operates a slide 24 to eject the lowermost token from the tube 18 and simultaneously through an arm 33 actuates the counter 35 and moves a lever 36 to rock a bell hammer to give a signal. The tube 18 is closed at the bottom by a sleeve 19 supported by a double - armed lever 20 counterbalanced by a weight 23. The sleeve is formed with a slot to receive the slide 24, which is forked at its end to eject the token. When the weight of the tokens exceeds a predetermined amount, the lever 20 is rocked, and a connecting-rod 44 attached thereto depressed. The movement of the connecting-rod rocks a bell-crank lever 45, which is adapted to push a plunger rod 46 beneath the bracket 40, and thus prevent the slide 3 from returning to its initial position until the weight of the tokens has sufficiently decreased to withdraw the plunger rod. A fullstroke device is provided for the main lever, consisting of a rack reciprocated thereby and a spring-actuated rocking tooth adapted to engage the rack.

Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 123. Roan, J. M. Jan. 3. Systems in which energy is supplied through flexible cables. -An electric locomotive for assembling trucks in mines, of the type that is propelled by an electro - motor supplied with current by a flexible conductor coiled on a drum mounted on the locomotive, is provided with special means for winding and preventing overstraining of the " live " cable. Figs. 2 and 4 show a locomotive according to the invention, which is driven by a motor 4 supplied with power on the main haulage road from an overhead conductor 10. The motor through the medium of a bevel-wheel 35 drives two inclined bevel shafts, one of which is geared to the cable drum 51 and the other to a haulage drum. A toothed clutch 49 disengages under excessive torsion and prevents over-straining of the cable. Suitable handlevers and linkages are provided to disconnect the cable and haulage drums respectively from the motor by sliding either of the bevel pinions out of engagement with the wheel 35. The locomotive may be run along side tracks where there are no overhead conductors by connecting the free end of the " live " cable to the overhead wire and suitably connecting the coiled wire to the motor.

Title: An Improved Selenium Photometer.
Inventor: PRESSER ERNST
IPC: G01J1/36

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 1059. Presser, E. Jan. 14. Photometric apparatus. - To increase the efficiency of instruments in which a selenium cell 10 is exposed alternately to light from two sources 5, 6, the cell being included in a circuit containing two coils 12, 13 arranged on opposite sides of a rocking coil 16 supplied with alternating current from a source 11, the fluctuations of current in the main circuit due to variations in the resistance of the cell imparting movement to an indicator on the rocking coil 16, the magnetic field at this coil is reduced by means such as subsidiary coils 14, 15 placed between the coils 12, 13 and the rocking coil 16. The variations in the alternating current are synchronized with the revolutions of the spindle 1 carrying the mirror 4, and the arrangement is such that the reduced magnetic field produces the same mean deflexion for a smaller swing. In one modification, light from one source falls on a cell included in the circuit of the coils 12, 13 while light from the other falls on a cell in the circuit of the inner coils. Current may be supplied to the coils 14, 15 through inductance from the circuit of the main coils, which may further be in series with a shunted capacity. The.inner coils may also be dispensed with, the main coils being then energized from the secondary winding of a transformer, the primary of which is in series with the cell 10 and source 17.

Abstract: 25,839. Wallwork, R., Wallwork, C. H., and Williams, E. Nov. 20. Instantaneous or flash generators; feed-water, supplying; steam receivers.-In instantaneous generators of the type comprising a shell containing pieces of metal so as to provide a large evaporating-surface, the feed-water is supplied under pressure as the steam is used, means being provided to spray the water in the upper part of the generator, for the purpose of distributing it over the evaporating surface and promoting convection currents to equalize the temperature throughout the generator. The steam is generated and superheated in the generator, and special .means for utilizing steam so generated are described. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the shell m contains hollow perforated metal balls and is formed with an upward projection n on its bottom, on to the top of which water is forced through a valve t, being broken into spray and distributed by the impact. In another form, the portion n is omitted and a splash-plate is placed below the valve t. The balls may be replaced by two thin stabbed metal sheets rolled up together. Water is forced through the valve t by air-pressure, and the flow is directly controlled by the pressure of the steam. It is further controlled by a valve u, which is exposed on one side to the steam and on the other to the water. The valve u, is placed close to the water inlet, so that there is no appreciable body of water to pass into the boiler after the valve is closed. The steam is generated and raised to a temperature of about 550‹ F. in the shell m, and then passes to a vessel o in the furnace chamber, which vessel communicates with the cylinders of the engine to be driven. Valves p, v put the vessel o alternately into communication with the shell m and the cylinders. In another form, the vessel o is dispensed with.
