Title: Improvements in Ship Loading Apparatus.
Inventor: HULETT GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1906-08-02
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 17,466. Hulett, G. H. Aug. 2. Loading and unloading. -Comprises ship-loading apparatus in which a continuous horizontal conveyer capable of longitudinal and vertical adjus t men directs the material into any part of the ship. Fig. 1 shows a ship 2 being loaded from a barge 3, the apparatus being mounted on a float. An open framework A supports a bucket 4 by which fuel or other material is removed from the barge 3 and deposited in a hopper 5. This directs the material into an inclined conveyer 6, which carries it up and deposits it into the conveyer 7. The conveyer 7 comprises an endless belt mounted to run on rollers 8 at the ends of a frame 9, and is supported at intermediate points by idle rollers arranged so as to give a trough-like shape to the upper member of the conveyer. The frame 9 runs in and out on rollers 12 supported in the carriage 20, which is hinged to the frame 18<a> at one end and at the other end runs on trackways 22 secured to the frame 18<a>. The lower part of the conveyer 7 passes over two idle rollers 13 and down below a drive roller 14 secured on a flexible shaft 15, to which motion is transmitted by bevel-wheels 16, 17 from a shaft 18 having a grooved pulley 20<a>, which is driven by a rope 20<b> on which the pulley has free adjustment up and down. The conveyer 7 can be moved in and out by locking its belt to either of the rollers 8 and allowing the drive roller 14 to turn in the proper direction. One method of doing this is shown in Fig. 3. The lever a can press a shoe b down and thus lock the belt to the pulley 8. The frame 18<a> is supported by cables 25 passed over sheaves at the top of the main frame A and thence down over drums in the bottom of the float 1 to a motor. The frame can thus be raised to any convenient height. The conveyer 6 comprises a casing hinged between its ends and provided with gearing so as to raise or lower the hinged portion to position the same exactly over the conveyer 7. A scraper chain mechanism serves to draw the material up through the conveyer 6 to a discharge opening, several of which are provided having enclosures thus permitting of any one being opened as may be necessary to discharge the material into the conveyer 7.

Filed: 1907-01-07
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 376. Barnett, E. B. A. Jan. 7. Locks, key.-In a lever lock, the bolt B<1>, Fig. 3, is blocked in its shot position by levers T (the gatings of which are not shown in Fig. 3), which are operated not directly by the key but by auxiliary levers K, the ends of which extend into the path of the key Y. Each pair of levers T, K is separated from its neighbours by partitions P, Fig. 2, in which are formed slots I, J for the stumps R, S on the bolt, and apertures H for the key to work in. In Fig. 2 the stumps R, S are shown in both shot and withdrawn positions. The locking-levers T are retained in any position in which they are placed by the levers K, by means of springs D, and are moved out of that position, when the bolt is shot, by means of the bell-crank E, which is pivoted to the case and is operated by the key, which acts on an arm G extending across the apertures H. Curved pieces P' are placed round the apertures H between the partitions P in order to prevent picking. If picking by " feeling " is attempted, and the bolt is pushed inwards to ascertain the whereabouts of the lever gatings, the stump S on the bolt is taken below the edges of the levers K, Fig. 3, and the projection F on the bell-crank E is blocked by the end U of the bolt ; no motion of the levers K or of a trial key can therefore take place. The bolt is shot by a spring, and is withdrawn by the action of the key Y on the tail end of the bolt, after it has first shifted the bell-crank E to place all the locking-levers T in contact with their respective auxiliary levers K, and then operated the levers K to place the locking-levers in the releasing position. Springs return the bellcrank and levers K to their normal positions.

The annular table 3 is supported on rollers 5, and may be rotated by means of a hand-wheel 9 operating through a rack 7 and pinion 8. Bolted to the table are a number of bases 12, on which pedestals 14 may be rotated and locked in position by handles 35. Each pedestal adjustably supports a sleeve 17, on one end of which a toe-rest 23 is fitted, while the other end supports, on a pin 15', a last-holding rod 36. Supports 25 on each side of the last carry horizontal plates 26, on which are a number of fixed rollers 30 and one roller 29 adjustable by means of a handwheel 31. The sole-press, as shown in Fig. 2, consists of a rubber presser 44 attached to a plate 39, which is connected by a ball joint to a screw 37 terminating in a hand-wheel V. Rods 41, 41<1> act as guides for the presser. The mode of operating is as follows : the inturned edge of the upper is sewn through, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the four ends of the two threads come to the middle of the sole. The upper is then placed on the last, the ends of the threads are tied to form two loops, and these loops are passed over the rollers 29, 30 as shown. By turning the hand-wheels 31, the threads are tightened and the upper is drawn into place, the necessary adjustments to position the last having previously been made. The work is then removed bodily to the presser by rotating the table, and, after a suitable glueing, the sole is pressed on to the upper. After release from the presser, the work is moved to another operative, who cuts away the thread and releases the mounted upper from the last. For operating on welted shoes, a wellknown type of plate is provided for wiping down the upper at the toe and heel. The table 3 instead of being rotary may be stationary, and the press and wiper plates adapted to be moved to the last supports.
