Title: Improvements in Means for Distributing Parcels, Bales, Loads of Goods and the like.
IPC: B65G35/06
Filed: 1913-01-07
Granted: 1914-01-07
Abstract: 484. Lloyd, G. E., and New Transport Co. Jan. 7. Mechanical dispatch apparatus.-In the apparatus for distributing parcels &c., described in Specification 12,027/11, in which trays are transferred between moving carriages and fixed platforms or other carriages by roller gear actuated by arms on the carriages engaging cams on the platforms or upon the carriages, means are provided for obviating angular displacement of the arm, when in a position approximately normal to the cam, due to irregularities in the track, &c. This is effected by leaving a gap in the cam, and by providing secondary means which restrain the angular motion of the arm and at the same time impart to it the desired motion for operating the roller gear. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in which the arm 4 is rotated through 180 degrees by the cam, the cam is interrupted at 3, and as the roller 5 leaves the part 1 of the cam, a pin 9 on an arm 7 integral with the arm 4 is projected by a surface 15 to enter a cam-groove 14 on a depending bracket 13. This permits relative vertical motion to take place without materially affecting the angular motion of the spindle 6, imparted to it by the groove 14, which is the equivalent of the interrupted part 3 of the cam. The groove 14 also guides the roller 5 into the part 2 of the cam. A roller 5 is provided at each end of the arm 4, and a pin 9<a> on the other end of the arm 7 enters the groove 14 when the other roller 5 is in operation. The pins 9, 9<a> are connected by a lever 10, so that, when one pin is projected by the surface 15, the other is retracted. In a modification, the arm 7 is formed with grooves which engage with a pin fixed relatively to the cam. In other modifications, the pins 9, 9<a>, or the grooves 14, are carried on the ends of the arms 4. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the vertical play is permitted by extensions 21 of the arms 4 carrying rollers 20 which enter a vertical groove 19. This groove may be pivotally mounted, or a series of grooves may be mounted, on a revoluble disk. The position of the parts 19, 20 in Fig. 6 may be interchanged.

Abstract: 872. Rose, J. W., and Whalley, E. B. Jan. 11. Overwinding, preventing; emergency power cut-off gear.-An apparatus for preventing overwinding and overspeeding of winding-engines comprises ratchet segments on the depthindicator shaft working in conjunction with governor - controlled pawls for operating the brake, throttle, and reversing-levers when nearing the end of a wind, and a device for delaying the application of the brake if the apparatus is brought into action on account of excessive speed in the central portion of the wind. The depthindicating shaft carries two eccentric toothed sectors o, o<1> with teeth sloping in opposite directions which are adapted to engage pawls n, n<1> at the upper end of vertical links j. The pawls n, n<1> are moved towards and awav from each other by linkage a, g, c connected to the sleeve of a governor a. If the speed is not properly controlled towards the end of the wind, the teeth on one of the sectors engage and depress one of the pawls and links j, thereby rocking shafts l<1>, l<2> and raising levers m, m<1> out of engagement with vertical pivoted arms q. When released, these arms allow three weighted levers s to close the throttle, to apply the brake. and to return the reversing-lever to central position. If the speed-limit is exceeded during any part of the wind a vertical rod w attached to the governor lever c depresses an arm x' on the shaft l<1>, thereby raising the lever m and operating the throttle and reversing levers. The second lever m<1> controlling the brake is raised out of action later than the lever m by a lug r<4> on a lever r engaging a wedge surface m<2>, the lever r being adjustably weighted and moving slowly owing to the action of the dashpot z.

The punch 9 is driven by a crank and connecting-rod from a shaft 12, and the die 4 is driven by cams from a shaft 7, these shafts being driven by pin clutches 13<1>, 14<1>. A lever 20 which may be operated by hand or foot is connected to a spring-pressed arm 22 carrying a finger 24 adapted to move into the path of the clutch-pin 13<1>; a second rod 26 with a slot 26<1> operates a similar finger 29 for the lower shaft. A cam-block 32 secured to the shaft 27 has a step which allows the pin 13<1> to be put in action first to drive the shaft 7, the slot 26<1> preventing operation of the lower clutch; further rotation of the cam allows further movement of the arm 22 which operates the lower clutch, both clutches then remaining in action until the fingers 24, 29 retract them. The blank is ejected by engaging a rod 33.
