Abstract: 12,961. Northup, F., Overacker, C. A., and Marklie, G. May 26. Track apparatus for stopping trains.-Power is cut off and the brake valves opened by the piston-rod 9 of a cylinder 2, to which fluid is supplied through a valve 7 when trip-levers 32 fitted with buffers 33 engage devices on the track. These levers 32 are spring - held in the full-line position and are pivoted to rods 34 carrying lugs 35. When the trip-levers engage a track contact, one of the lugs 35 moves a block 24 sliding in lateral guides against the action of a spring or the like, and thus removes a pin on the block from a socket in the end of the valve lever 23. The valve 7 is then opened by a spring, and the piston-rod 9 is forced into the cylinder. Racks on the piston-rod rotate pinions on the spindles of the throttle valve 13 or other power controller and of the brake valve 17. The piston is reset by pressure fluid admitted through the pipe 22 under control of a valve (not shown).

Abstract: 13,698. Carey, R. F. June 5. Friction gearing for lifts, hoists, &c. is arranged so that the pressure between the frictionallyengaging surfaces is maintained by the tension in the haulage rope. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a steel driving-roller i with end flanges i<1> is connected to the shaft e of a motor a by a flexible coupling. The motor is controlled by way of a switch drum c. Driven wheels k, of which there are preferably two or three, bear upon the roller i and are supported on spindles l in bearing-blocks m movable radially in a frame d. The frame d is angularly adjustable and can be clamped by set-screws f, f<1> entering a groove g in a boss e' upon a fixed frame e'. The haulage rope o is wound one or more times round the peripheries of the wheels k lying in grooves k' in the same. The wheels k may be duplicated upon each spindle l. In one form of electrically-operated brake, shown in Fig. 1, a flange p is secured to an extension i<2> of the roller i. An armature q slides non- rotatably between horns d' upon a fixed part d', which is hollowed out to accommodate the windings of an electric solenoid. A spring p<1> normally holds the armature q against the flange p to brake the roller i. When a current is passed through the solenoid, the armature q is drawn to the left, releasing the brake. The spring p<1> is arranged between brasses p<2>, one of which is fixed, the other moving with the part q. An alternative form of brake is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. One of the wheels k is recessed to form two internal cones r adapted to be engaged by conical brake members s, which are mounted on right and left handed screwthreads t, t<1> on the supporting-spindle l. Studs s<1> prevent rotation of the members s. The spindle l is controlled by a lever u, which is pulled at one end by a lever v to apply the brake, and at the other by an electric armature v<1>, to release it.
