Title: Improvement in Automatic Release Devices for the Rolls of Rolling Mills.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1899-07-04
Granted: 1899-11-04
Abstract: 13,806. Imray, O., [Kuhlewind, C.]. July 4. Rolling.-The bearing of one of the rolls of a mill is arranged to yield when exceptional pressure occurs, such as when the work sticks. The bearing- block 2, Fig. 2, is formed with a cylinder in which moves a plunger 3, packed by an elastic ring 6. The cover ring 5 supports sliding wedges 11, which engage wedge surfaces on a block 12 guided by pins 13 on the plunger, and transmitting the pressure from the adjusting- screw. The lower part of the cylinder, which is filled with oil or other liquid, communicates through a port 18, Fig. 1, with a chamber 20 in which is a valve 24 normally held down by a spring-controlled lever 33 to close ports 23. At the normal pressure, the plunger 3 projects above the ring 5, and the wedges 11 occupy an inward position, with projections 10 engaging recesses 9 in the plunger. When the pressure becomes excessive, the valve 24 is forced open, and liquid flows through ports 23, and the passage 39 to a relief chamber 40, driving out a spring- controlled plunger 41. The wedges are released by the consequent fall of the plunger 3, and the bearing-block rises as shown to allow the rolls to separate. When the normal pressure is restored the plunger 41 drives back the liquid through a valve 48 and passage 19 to the cylinder, and raises the plunger 3, the wedges resuming their former position. In a modification, Fig. 5, the adjusting- screw 53 operates on wedges 52, 54 in the bearing-block 51. The wedge 54 operates a piston 56 in a cylinder 57, the outlet 60 of which is closed by a valve 61 having a spring-controlled lever 62 as at 33, Fig. 1. Under abnormal pressure, the wedge 54 and piston are forced back, liquid being expelled through the valve 61 into the front end of the cylinder. When the normal pressure is restored, the liquid is returned under the action of a spring-actuated ring 68 through passages 58 and a valve 59 in the piston, the piston being returned by springs 69.

Filed: 1899-12-07
Granted: 1900-03-17
Abstract: 24,346. Arnsfield, S., and Koller, J. Dec. 7. Ventilating; soles; insoles; stiffeners.-Between the sole and insole of a shoe is placed a cushion 6 of india-rubber, leather, or other stiff flexible material having on its upper side ribs and projections 7, 8 forming air passages between them as shown in Fig. 4. An extension 9 of this cushion passes up between the upper and the heel stiffener as shown in Fig. 1. A groove 12 in this extension is covered by a strip 14 to form a conduit which communicates with the air passages in the sole and with the outer air through eyelets 13, by which the extension is secured to the upper. Eyelets 5 in the insole afford communication between the air passages and the interior of the shoe. The shank of the shoe is stiffened by a steel spring 15, one end of which is secured in a slit in the cushion 6 and the other by a tack or nail 17. This intermediate sole or cushion, in addition to ventilating the shoe, prevents shock to the foot.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrical Stop-gear for Steam and other Engines or Machinery.
Inventor: SHAW BROOK
Filed: 1900-06-05
Granted: 1901-03-16
Abstract: 10,326. Shaw, B. June 5. Stop gear. - A stop valve is closed or a brake or stopping device operated at a distance by the energizing of electromagnets through an electric push. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement as applied to an engine stop valve situated immediately below the governor. The weighted lever D is retained in a vertical position in such a way that on receiving a tilting movement from the upper end F<2> of the lever F it may fall and, in its descent, strike the cranked arm of the lever H. By so doing, the lever H is disengaged from the ratchetwheel A', with the result that the stop valve is instantly closed, the uncoiling of a spring about the valve spindle being employed for this purpose. In order that the tilting movement may be imparted by the lever F, the lower end F<1> is attracted on the electromagnets coming into operation through the closing of a circuit. Suitable set-screws are employed for adjusting the position of the weighted lever. Instead of a ratchetwheel such as A<1>, a ratchet - sector may be employed, the sector being constructed with a hand-lever for its reinstatement into position.

Granted: 1901-06-22
Abstract: 23,130. Burns, C. M., and Mercer, F. T. Dec. 18. Locks, key; latches.-Relates to a lock which is adapted to be operated by a knob or key, or both, and may be provided with a key-operated locking- latch. The keeper casing C<1>, which may be mortised in a door jamb, carries a latch 10 and a bolt 11 adapted to slide through openings in the face of the casing. The latch is held normally in an extended position by a spring, and is connected to one arm of a pivoted lever, the other arm of which engages one side of a stud 20 on the bolt 11, and holds it in the retracted position. A spring 21 also connects the latch with the other side of the stud 20, so that, should the latch be pressed inwards, the spring 21 tends to force the bolt outwards. A sleeve 22, adapted to be turned by a knob spindle, is mounted in the casing A of the body of the lock, and is provided with arms 23 which act upon a slide 25, controlled by a spring 29. The ordinary bolt is replaced by a spring-controlled plunger 30, the stem of which engages the slide. The plunger extends into an opening in the face of the casing. When the door is closed, the latch 10 is forced inwards, and, upon the opening in the casing A coming opposite to the bolt 11, the bolt enters such opening, forcing back the plunger 30, and holding it in the retracted position until the slider 25 is moved forward by the operation of the knob spindle. The latch may be secured, so that it cannot be released by moving the knob spindle, by means of a plate 36 provided with a recess which is brought into engagement with the arm 23. The plate is operated by a key through a keyhole 40, and a spring-controlled tumbler 42, adapted to engage a projection on the plate 36, retains the plate in the raised or lowered positions. The latch may be converted into a night-latch by providing the stem of the plunger with an arm, which is operated, without disturbing the knob spindle, by means of a revolving disc provided with a suitable hole for the insertion of a key. A pivoted lever may also be provided, one end of which is bifurcated so that it may engage the arm 23, and the other end passes through a slot in the casing. By operating the projecting end, the arm 23 can be locked, and the latch can only be used as a night-latch.
