Title: Improvements in Means for Lubricating the Axles of Colliery Wagons and the like.
Inventor: JONES JOHN HUGHSON
IPC: B61F17/26
Filed: 1913-12-03
Granted: 1914-12-03
Abstract: 27,855. Jones, J. H. Dec. 3. Force-feed lubricators. - The axle-boxes of colliery wagons or trams &c. are lubricated by apparatus comprising a stationary pump with delivery nozzles which aline themselves with openings in the wheel hubs on each side of the vehicle. A hollow frame a, moving in guides c below the vehicle track b, has a pair of upwardly-extending telescopic arms f, which are engaged by the axles x of passing vehicles. After being moved for a short distance, the upper parts of the arms f are drawn down by cams g engaging pins g', allowing the vehicle to pass on. Cylinders d, moving in heads a<2> on vertical arms a<1> of the frame a, are moved inwardly during the motion of the frame by fixed cams c. Each cam is pivoted at e<1> and pressed against a stop e<2>, so that the roller d<2> passes at the back of the cam when moving in the reverse direction. During the movement of the frame a, a hollow plunger k moves into a cylinder l connected by a valve m to an oil reservoir o, the oil being thereby forced to the nozzles i<3>, At the end of the stroke, a lug k<1> engages a rod k<2>, which opens a by-pass valve p to relieve the oil pressure. The inward movement of the cylinder d first brings a rotatable cup-shaped part j into contact with the wheel hub z to aline the nozzle with a valved opening; the nozzle is then pressed out by a spring d<4> to open the valve, and further movement of the cylinder brings into register ports d<3>, i<1>, so that oil is forced through the nozzle into the hub. After the vehicle has passed the arms f, the various parts of the apparatus are retracted by springs d<1>, h, &c. The arms fare provided with friction rollers f<1>; but these may be replaced by star-wheels, which are held against rotation in one direction by a pawl and ratchet, this arrangement allowing a vehicle to pass in the reverse direction without operating or fouling the apparatus. With this arrangement also, the arms f need not be telescopic, but a member may be provided to disengage the pawl at the end of the stroke of the pump, to allow the vehicle to proceed.

Filed: 1913-12-06
Granted: 1914-05-21
Abstract: 28,133. Ansell, E. C. Dec. 6. Grab-buckets. - A single-chain grab is operated from a rod passing through two cylinders disposed one within the other. The rod A attached to the lifting-chain is connected to the brackets by links K, and the outer ends of the buckets are suspended by links from the outer cylinder G. Spring catches I, adapted to engage the upper end of the rod A to allow the grab to be lifted while open, are pivoted on the outer cylinder and pass through slots in both cylinders. The catches are operated by a ring H suspended by rods E from the inner cylinder C and working through slots in the outer cylinder. When the open grab is lowered to the ground, a ball B on the chain engages the inner cylinder C, forces down the ring H, and allows the catches I to open and the grab to be closed when the chain is wound in. The grab is discharged by a pair of dogs on the crane head catching under the flange D on the inner cylinder C. The outer cylinder G then moves downward, and the catches are forced in to prevent the grab from being closed when released from the dogs.

Abstract: 7225. Sutton, H. M., Steele, W. L., and Steele, E. G. March 21. Sorting on inclined endless bands.-Relates to a process and apparatus for sizing comminuted material. The material is fed upon a rough surface, moving continuously in one direction, which is inclined transversely to the direction of motion and is agitated to aid the force of gravity to overcome the resistance of the surface and to cause the particles of the material to travel contiguously over the surface in lines deviating from the line of continuous movement at angles proportionate to their relative sizes. The surface, Fig. 1, is in the form of an endless band and is fed from a hopper 16; between the end rollers, the band is supported by a series of rotating polygonal rollers 9 which are larger at the lower end than at the upper. In a modification, the supporting-structure of the band is pivoted along its upper edge and is oscillated by an eccentric at its lower edge. Means for varying the inclination of the band may be provided, and aprons 17, 21 with adjustable dividing-fingers serve to receive the sized material as it leaves the band. The surface of the band may be plain and unpolished, or it may be corrugated longitudinally and the corrugations may increase in size towards the lower edge of the band, or inclined corrugations may be used. Corrugations of various sections are described. A series of such bands may be combined for the repeated treatment of the material, as shown in Fig. 19, suitable deflectors being provided to guide the material from one band to the other.
