Title: An Improved Self-Acting Brake Gear Applicable to Drums, Axles, Shafts, and the like.
Inventor: FISCHER-SCHAAD ELISE
Filed: 1901-07-22
Granted: 1902-07-10
Abstract: 14,918. Schaad, E. Fischer-, and Schneider, B. July 22. Brakes.-Over the rotating shaft or other part to be braked is placed a helical spring. The normal internal diameter is less than the diameter of the shaft so that it grips and, one of its ends being held stationary, serves to prevent the shaft from rotating until its end is turned back to relax the grip of the coils. This brake is applicable in cranes, lifts, &c. to prevent automatically the load from falling when the motive power is thrown out of gear. Figs. 2 and 3 show the application of the invention in connection with a railway vehicle. Upon each axle is fixed a drum k to receive the helical spring l. Ring brackets m, fixed to the frame of the vehicle, encircle the ends of the drum and engage the same by means of grooves and ribs. Upon these brackets are pivoted arms q to the upper ends of which are jointed the ends of the spring ; the arms are coupled by links r to a transverse rod t which can be moved up and down in slots in the brackets. Normally the weight of the bar &c., and the tension of the spring tend to keep the bar at the bottom of the slots and thus to keep the spring tight upon the shaft. Its hold is relaxed by pulling up the bar and so pushing outwards the ends of the spring, by means of levers w, z pivoted at v and pull rods y, z passing lengthways of the vehicle. These rods may be parts of the draw gear so that when the pull of the locomotive is relaxed the brakes are applied automatically.

Granted: 1903-07-02
Abstract: 6810. Luhr, O., and Andresen, T. March 24. Moving-stirrer apparatus.-Relates to a lubricator for supplying graphite, soapstcne, &c., either alone or mixed with oil or grease, to the cylinders &c. of steam, explosion, internal-combustion, compressed-air, and other engines. Figs. 2 and 3 show the lubricator as applied to the steam pipe of an engine. The lubricant is carried from the chamber 5 to the pipe 9 by means of a chain conveyer, which passes around a pair of sprocket-wheels 13, 14 carried by yokes extending from a support 15 mounted within the tube 8. The conveyer chain acts as a stirrer for the lubricant contained in the chamber. The conveyer comprises a number of links 11 pivoted together, and each libk carries a piston 12. The chain passes through longitudinal bores in the support 15, the spaces between the pistons acting as pockets for carrying the lubricant. The conveyer is driven by suitable mechanism so as to have a continuous or an intermittent motion. As shown, the sprocket-wheel 13 is driven by toothed wheels 23, 24, the shaft of the wheel 24 being rotated by worm gearing outside the chamber 5 from some part of the engine &c. By rotating the wheel 18, the support 15 may be moved within the tube 8 so as to open or close the end of the tube by means of the valve 22. When the support is moved so as to close the end of the tube, the wheel 23 is drawn out of gear with the wheel 24. In operation, the lubricant is carried from the chamber 5 to the centre of the pipe 9 by means of the conveyer, and is then carried by the dry steam to the valve-chest and cylinder. As the lubricant is withdrawn from the bottom of the chamber 5, a fresh supply is forced down by means of a follower which may consist of a hemispherical weight 30 of lead, iron, brass, &c. The downward travel of the weight 30 is limited by lugs 32 on the interior of the chamber.
