Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Bolting or Locking Wagon or other Doors or Gates.
Inventor: CREE JAMES EDWARD
Filed: 1900-09-07
Granted: 1901-07-13
Abstract: 15,902. Cree, J. E. Sept. 7. Doors, wagon, fastenings for. Relates to the fastening for wagon &c. doors, described in Specification No. 2140, A.D. 1899. Fig. 1 shows the application of the invention to the double door of a wagon. Pinions a, b are mounted within a lock case c, one pinion, preferably the outer pinion a, gearing with a rack on the horizontal bolt d, and the other gearing with racks on the vertical bolts e, f or with one bolt and another pinion which gears with the other bolt. The bolts are shot by means of springs, or one bolt may be weighted to counterbalance the others and shoot the whole into the sockets when the doors are closed. The pinion b is formed with a stem to enter a socket in the outer pinion, and the pinion a has a stem to enter a socket in a boss working in the casing and provided with a handle. A polygonal orifice is formed through the boss and the pinions, into which a carriage key &c. may be fitted to lock the parts together so that the bolts can be retracted by turning the key or the handle. If only one half of the door is to be opened, the key is partially entered into the orifice, so that the bolt d can be operated. Catches are employed to prevent the bolts from being shot down when the doors are open. In the case of the vertical bolts, this catch may consist of a plate controlled by a spring and arranged over the bolt f. The bolt passes through an orifice in the plate when the door is closed, but, on opening the door, the spring forces the plate outwards so that the hole therein does not register with the bolt, thereby retaining the vertical bolts in the retracted position. In the case of the horizontal bolt d, a spring-pressed plate n has a depending member which engages a pin on the bolt and retains the same in the retracted position. Upon closing the door, the plate is operated by means of an incline on the outer half of the door, and the bolt is released. For gates and doors a single pinion may be employed, and its stem made to fit a polygonal socket in the boss of a handle, so that the bolts are withdrawn on turning the handle. When a single pinion is used in conjunction with a key, the pinion stem is not locked to the handle.

Granted: 1901-05-18
Abstract: 23,856. Francke, C., and Schwabacher, H. Dec. 31. Odometers; speed indicators.--Relates to means for indicating the distance travelled by and the speed of a vehicle. The form shown in Fig. 2 with the dial 29, Fig. 1, and front plate removed, is fixed to the wheel spokes 58, Fig. 6, by means of a clamp 57 and screw bolt 60. The weight 2, shaped like the sector of a circle, is mounted on a horizontal axle in the apparatus, so that gravity constantly holds the weight below this horizontal axle while the other parts of the apparatus rotate as part of the vehicle wheel. The relativerotation of the horizontal axle which is thus produced is transmitted by gear-wheels to the ratchet-wheel 20, engaging with the spring-controlled ratchet-lever 22 pivoted on the axle 21. One end of the lever 22 carries a pawl 28, which actuates a distancerecording apparatus 32, and the other end has a pencil supported by a flat spring 25. The pencil marks a dial 29, which is revolved by a clockwork mechanism 41, so that, if the distance travelled while the wheel 20 is revolved through one tooth be known, the speed and total distance travelled can be determined from the marked dial. In modifications, there may be two pencils 26, 26', adapted, when in the operative positions, to work over outer and inner scales on the dial and the pencils may be replaced by a metallic point which marks the prepared surface of the dial. The apparatus may be mounted on the body of the vehicle, in which case the ratchet-wheel 20 is actuated from an axle rotated by the vehicle wheel.
