Abstract: 26,316. Belcher, D., and Hallard, F. H. Nov. 16. Driving-mechanism.-Relates to kneading and like machines in which means connected to the belt-shifting gear are provided whereby the belt can only be placed on the fast pulley when the cover of the machine is closed or the machine is reversed for emptying. The beltforks f are carried on a sliding bar d. On the bar d is a bolt g which, when the belt is on the fast pulley k, engages with the cover h of the machine and prevents it from being raised. When the belt is shifted on to the loose pulley i, the bolt g comes opposite a gap in the lid h, which can then be raised, engaging with the bolt g and so preventing the belt from being replaced on the fast pulley. To the bar d is connected a second sliding bar e which is connected by a rod o to a pivoted bolt n. The bolt n engages with a band q attached to the mixing-container p and prevents the latter from being inverted when the belt is on the fast pulley. A gap in the band q allows the mixer arms to be set in motion when the container is inverted to assist in emptying. Another form is described wherein the bolts g and n are replaced by links attached to the cover h and engaging with a slot on the bar d and a stop on the container p.

Abstract: 10,677. Vickers, Ltd., and Bourcier, G. May 6. T u r n i n g - g e a r.-The engine of an aeroplane is turned to a suitable position for starting by a worm A keyed on a starting-shaft C and gearing with a wheel B on the engine shaft. The shaft C has a screw-thread C' which screws into a spring E forming a nut. When the shaft C is first turned, the screw-thread causes the worm to mesh with the wheel until it comes against an abutment, whereupon forther rotation of the shaft C rotates the engine. The shaft C is then turned in a reverse direction to disconnect the worm from the wheel. A spring detent G engages with a screwthread C<2> on the shaft to hold the worm out of engagement. The shaft C carries one part of a switch in the igniting-circuit; this switch remains open until the worm and wheel are disengaged to prevent starting of the engine while they are engaged. The wheel B may be connected to the engine shaft through a one-way clutch.
