Abstract: 3836. Bullivant, F. A., and Wardle, C. S. Feb. 20. Conveyers.-Rope-grip apparatus, particularly for use in rope transporters, comprises gripping-jaws capable of turning in the frame of the apparatus, and rollers in connexion with the load-carrying members situated between inclines on the upper ends of the jaws so that the grip increases when the rope-way is inclined. Fig. 1 is an elevation, and Fig. 4 a cross-section of the grip applied to an aerial rope-way. In a frame a open at the centre and closed at each end are mounted a pair of pincer jaws b, c hinged on a common pin d. The inner faces of the upper ends of the jaws are formed with inclined planes adapted to co-operate with conical rollers m. The load-supporting arm g is forged on a pin f, which is pivotally mounted in the frame a and has secured to it at its opposite end a bracket h the upper end of which is formed as a plate i. A similar plate k is rigidly connected to the plate i by bolts j on which are mounted the conical rollers m. When the load is being hauled up an incline, the frame a and jaws b, c assume an inclined position and the arm g and bracket h remain vertical, so that the rollers m act on the bevel surfaces of the jaws b, c causing them to grip the rope. Lugs n on the plates i, k positively release the jaws when the frame a returns to an horizontal position. Each end of the frame a is provided with jaws p carried on pins q so as to keep the frame in alinement with the rope. These jaws may be provided with projections u so as to engage frictionally or positively with the rope. The pins q carry wheels s adapted to engage shunt rails.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Hide and Leather Working Machines
Inventor: ALEFS HENRY
IPC: C14B1/02
Filed: 1910-02-15
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 3751. Alefs, H. Feb. 15. Reciprocating - t o o l machines; rotating-tool machines. - In a hideworking machine in which an oscillating arm carries a rotary tool over a curved flexible bed, the bed is made unyielding to local irregularities in the hide but yielding to changes in its general thickness. Two cylinders are mounted on the arm, and special forms of clamping-bar and bolster adjustment are used. In the machine shown in end and plan views in Figs. 1 and 2, t h e swinging tool frame 34 is traversed backwards and forwards over the bolsters 61 by pinions 38, which engage curved racks 41 on the machine framing, and are chaindriven through gearing 29, 30 from a shaft 21. This shaft is driven from the belt pulley 25 alternately in opposite directions by toothed and chain gears 18, 20 and a double clutch 22, which is operated either by cams 42, 43 on the tubular shaft 33 of the tool frame or by a handlever 28 and linkages 25, 26. The clutch disengages the drive when the tool frame reaches the top of its travel. The two tools 45 are simultaneously turned in one direction by chains 47 driven from a clutch-controlled belt pulley 49. The flexible bolster 61 is fixed to the bar 13, Figs. 1 and 4, and its lower end is wound on a drum 62 journaled in the frame through spring sleeves which allow it to yield and lengthen the bolster during the working- strokes. Pawls and ratchet - wheels 67 allow slack to be taken up. The bolster is backed by a rigid metal plate 70, which is supported on cushions 74. These are mounted in frames 72, and, as shown in Fig. 6, consist of adjustably spring-supported members 71 moving in guide cylinders in the frames 72 so as to yield to a change in the general hide thickness. The frames 72 may be rigidly mounted, or, where it is necessary for the hides to be lowered away from the tools during the return stroke, they may be movable under the control of pedals 82. These are linked to the front and back of the frames 72 by levers 79 and adjustable rods 81, so that a difference in the depression of the two pedals allows hides of tapering thickness to be treated. The pedals may be locked down by cams 83. The hide is gripped on a cushion 55. Figs. 1 and 4, by a clamping-bar 53 carried by brackets 54 on arms 50 which are pivoted in the framing at 51. The clamping-bar is locked on to the work by cam-hooks 56 which, under the action of rollers 58 on the tool frame, enter beneath rollers 57 mounted above the work on the cushion 55 as the tool frame begins its descent. At the end of the upward stroke, the hooks are disengaged and rollers 60 on the tool frame raise the arms 50 to free the hide.
