Patent GB-190213110-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Lubricators
Inventor: ALLEN EDWIN
Filed: 1902-06-09
Granted: 1903-02-05
Abstract: 13,110. Allen, E., and Carver, G. W. June 9. Lubricators.- An oil reservoir A, Figs. 1 and 2, for a force - feed lubricator, is provided with a bottom flange by means of which it is attached to an engine frame &c., and at the top it is fitted with a cover B<1> for the insertion of the oil, a strainer being secured below the cover. A block C, in which are formed the pump barrels. &c., is secured to the reservoir, by screws &c, so that it can readily be detached. The pump barrels D are provided with supply and delivery passages a, Q, a pair of valves of different sizes being located in each of these passages to control the passage of the oil. The supply passages a open into the reservoir, and the delivery passages Q are coupled to pipes L leading to the parts to be lubricated. The plungers are reciprocated by means of a slide G operated by a cam mounted on a shaft i. A crosshead g<2> on the slide engages slots in the plungers, the lost motion being regulated, by means of screws e<3> taking into the slots, so as tu adjust the stroke of the pumps. An arm k on the shaft i carries a spring pawl k<1> in engagement with a ratchet-wheel 1. A lever K, operated from the engine mechanism, is loosely mounted on the hub of the arm k, and is connected thereto by means of a set-screw P. A crank handle i<1> may be secured to the shaft for operating the pumps by band. In order to regulate the rotation of the wheel I, a shield J, supported by a bracket, extends over the teeth of the wheel, and by adjusting the positions of the arms k, k the pawl may ride idly over the shield during part of its movement. The lubricator may be arranged with one or a number of feeds. Where one feed is employed, the pump barrel is arranged on one side of the driving-shaft, and the deliveryvalve chamber on the other side. In the case of a four-feed lubricator, the four barrels are bored in the block and a pair of slide, employed, each of the slides operating a pair of plungers. The slides are operated by separate cams preferably arranged so that one pair of plungers are on the forcing strokes while the other pair are on the suction strokes. Figs. 8 and 10 show a lubricator suitable for a motor road vehicle. The reservoir A<2> is formed with a flat front wall, which is thickened at the corners and bored to form a barrel c<3>, for the plunger F<2>, and a delivery-valve chamber D<2>. The chamber and barrel are connected by a through passage E<2> closed by a plug e<2>. The cam for operating the slide G<2>, which works in a groove in the reservoir face, is journalled on a fixed shaft secured to the face and passing through a slot in the slide. The ratchet-wheel I<1> is secured to the cam, and is oparated by the mechanism before described. A pawl l<4> engages the ratchet-wheel to prevent backward rotation.

Abstract: 2060. Chaudoir, E., and Caston, F. G. K. Jan. 28. Lifts, cage. Relates to an arrangement for locking well doors of electric, hydraulic, or other lifts, and thereby simultaneously operating electrical contacts, so that, only when the doors are locked, an electrical circuit is completed with the controlling switch or gear, which allows the cage to be actuated. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement adopted when a collapsable door closing in the direction of the arrow P is used. The catch B<2> on the finger-latch C locks the door to the lock case D, and also presses up the end H of the bellcrank lever G, H, which bridges across the terminals J, K. The catch is retained in the position shown by the spring bolt F, and can only be freed when the bevelled piece N carried on the cage presses back the bolt. A modification is described, in which the catch is furnished with an antifriction roller, and contact is made against spring terminals on the upper side of the locks. The application of the invention to a hinged door is illustrated. Another arrangement, working on a similar principle, applicable to double folding doors, is also shown.

Title: Improvements in Appliances for Lifting and Turning Drills for Rock Boring or other Purposes.
Inventor: SIMMONS CHARLES
Filed: 1903-03-18
Granted: 1904-01-28
Abstract: 6222. Simmons, C. March 18. Rock drills.-These are struck by a hammer and are lifted and turned between each stroke by a foot-lever. Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 4 a vertical section, of the cylinder for the drill-piston. The cylinder A is supported upon two prongs B connected by adjustable struts C to a frame D, on which the foot-lever L is carried. The tool H is held in the piston a, working in the cylinder A, by the wedges a<9>, pressed down between the drill and the inclined faces of the radially-arranged lugs a' by cams on levers a<5>, pivoted on the lugs a<4> and pressed down by the spring a<6>. When the footlever L is depressed, a spring-catch l<3> on the arm l<1> raises the cranked arm k and pulls the chain I attached to the quadrant arm a<15> of the cranked lever a<12> pivoted at the bottom of the cylinder, so that the piston a is raised by the rollers a<14> on the arms a<13> of the cranked lever a<12>. When the catch is disengaged, the cranked arm k returns and the spring a<6> forces the piston downwards. The devices for turning the drill between the strokes are shown in Figs. 9, 11, and 12. Teeth a' and annular recesses a', Fig. 11, are formed in the piston a'. The cylinder A is provided with a curved groove G<1> and a straight groove F<1> for receiving two pawls or riders F, G respectively. Each pawl is provided with a spring-catch, as shown at g in Fig. 9, having a tooth g<x> engaging with the teeth a<1>. Lugs g<3> projecting from the faces of the riders engage in the annular recesses a' of the piston. During the upward motion of the piston a, the catch of the rider G in the curved groove G' engages with the teeth a<1> and so rotates the piston. The catch of the rider F in the straight groove locks the piston against rotation during its descent. The cylinder or casing A is provided with a boss M, Fig. 4, capable of rotating in a sleeve N forming part of a clamp N' for attaching the cylinder to a supporting-bar.
