Title: Improved Gear for Slewing Jib Cranes.
IPC: F16H63/30
Filed: 1909-05-07
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 10,827. Babcock & Wilcox, and Hollick, F. W. May 7. Jib cranes.-An arrangement of planetary gear fitted on a continuously rotating shaft and operated by lever gear is applied to jib cranes for slueing purposes. The shaft B is constantly driven and has keyed to it pinions C, D driving racks E, F through pinions G, H, which are carried by disks I, J, the disk I being keyed on the sleeve K, and the disk J being free to revolve on the shaft B. The rack E is bolted to the brake wheel L running free on the shaft B, and the rack F is bolted to the disk M keyed to the sleeve K, which also carries a pinion N transmitting power to the slueing rack. The wheels L, J are fitted with brake straps 0, P operated from a lever by means of cranks and links, such that when the lever is in its extreme position on the one hand, the strap O is hard on and the strap P is free, and when in the extreme position on the other hand, the strap P is hard on and the strap 0 is free, while when the lever is in its mid position both straps are free. The crane is thus slued in opposite directions when the lever is in either extreme position, and is left stationary when the lever is in the mid position. If it is desired to stop the jib when it is revolving, the lever is pushed so as to apply the opposite brake lightly.

IPC: G09F13/00
Filed: 1910-04-18
Granted: 1911-04-18
Abstract: 9394. AstiÚ, E. April 18. Monogrammic signs.-A perforated plate 10, Fig. 1, is provided with a moving-blind, disk, slider, &c., parts only of which permit light to pass through, thus effecting a periodic changing illumination of the perforations in the plate 10. These perforations may be provided with elongated glass bulbs 16, 19, 21 which may be held in position by flanges and spring clamps, Fig. 7. A motor 66, Fig. 3, operates a rocking lever 60 and its driving-pawl 61 through belting 74 and an eccentric 64. The chainconnected drums on the axles 46, 47 are thus operated, and their bands 54, 57 effect the intermittent illumination of the bulbs 21. The openings in the bands may be covered with coloured strips of gelatine. The shaft 67 of the motor 66 drives a couple of pulleys 31, 35 and their annular disk - members 32, Fig. 4, in opposite directions. The cutaway and coloured portions of these disk members affect the transmission of light through the bulbs 19. The motor also drives a pair of pulleys 28 through belting. Thus, a chain 26 bearing plates 27, which overlap each other at some parts of the chain and which are spaced apart at others, travels along and effects the transmission of light to the bulbs 16. In a modification, a slide 86, Fig. 7, with a coloured glass section 87, is used between the source of light and the bulbs 84.

Rotation of the shaft 13 simultaneously rotates the button blank and traverses it in contact with the grinding-wheels. Steady-rests are provided to prevent vibration of the blank-holder. In a modification designed to give the blank a polygonal contour, the work-holder 'is adapted to advance without rotation.
Patent GB-191011538-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Loom Dobbies.
Inventor: SMITH JAMES
IPC: D03C1/06
Filed: 1910-05-10
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 11,538. Smith, J., and Young, W. E. May 10. Dobbies.-In double - lift dobbies of the class wherein horizontal balk levers are used and two-armed jack levers V<1> are depressed at their inner ends to raise their outer ends, dobby catches are so arranged that the balk levers are moved positively in both directions to give a positive lift and positive depression to the healds, thus dispensing with the use of an under-motion. At each side of the knife M, two series of catches and arms N, K are mounted on the balk lever, the inner catches K being acted upon by the bent ends J<1> of arms A, pivoted on a shaft B and acted upon by the fingers D of feelers E, which have weighted parts F acted upon by the cylinder pegs. When a feeler E is raised by the pattern cylinder, the finger D is withdrawn and the corresponding arm A rocks to the left under the action of gravity, which may be assisted by a spring H. The bent end J<1> of the feeler A, which is preferably coupled to the arm K by a spring clip &c., then causes the arm K to rock so that a notch G therein comes into the path of the knife M, whereby the corresponding balk lever is depressed at one end, and when the knife rises it engages the sneck or catch N<1> on the arm N, whereby the end of the balk lever is raised. If the pattern cylinder allows the feeler E to fall, the outside vertical arm A moves forwards, and its turned-up end engages the sneck N<2> on the arm N, whereby the end of the balk lever is held raised, the arm K being disengaged from the knife. When a feeler E is raised, it raises the corresponding feeler E' on the other side of the dobby to bring into action the corresponding vertical arm K<1>, the ends of the feelers being rabbeted to overlap one another. The vertical connecting-bars S, reduced to half the usual thickness, have side studs S' engaging holes in the balk levers, which are recessed or made half the usual thickness, a guide-bar U engaging vertical slots in the bars S to steady them. The bars S have recesses to receive the rounded ends V of the jack levers V<1>. The feelers E, E<1> and arms A have open-slotted bearings to facilitate removal, and the arms N have rounded bearings Y. The arms K, K' also have rounded extremities to enter recesses in the sides of the balk levers, fins and recesses being used on the working parts to prevent displacement. The dobby may have two pattern cylinders, for crossborder work.

Abstract: 12,602. Price, W. H. June 4, 1909, [Con-, vention date]. Single-trigger mechanism. - Consists in a selective mechanism in which the first sear is tripped by a selective switch arm 8, Fig. 4, on the trigger blade, and the second sear by a switch arm 7, Fig. 6, carried at the front of a slide 6, this switch arm being swung to the right or left by the first switch arm 8 when the slide moves forward. The slide 6 is pressed downwards and forwards by a spring 13, and moves forward in two steps, being held first by a catch 16, Fig. 2, from which it is released by the first pull and then by a tooth 18 on the trigger blade, from which it is released after the involuntary pull. The slide 6 is pivoted to a weighted lever 5, which swings forward on the recoil of the gun and thus checks the forward movement of the lever 6 during the involuntary pull of the trigger.
