Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 5543. Burn, R. G. L., Burn, J. D., Burn, L. A., and Brown, C. R. B. March 8. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.-In direct air-pressure apparatus for forcing sewage, wherein the air inlet and outlet valves are controlled by an overbalancing device comprising a tube with mercury, liquid, or other shifting weight operated from a float, the connexion between the valve-spindle and the overbalanced lever is by means of a link with a pin and slot. The float C on a spindle d is balanced by means of a weight on a lever j. Stops h on this spindle actuate an overbalancing trough q, pivoted at r and containing a shifting weight such as mercury. From the trough q passes a rod w with a slot z, which engages a pin x on the valve lever y. The float therefore alters considerably in height without affecting the valves, the operation of these being effected rapidly at the end of each stroke of the float. In a modification, the slotted end of the connecting-link coacts with a pin on the trough. The Provisional Specification also states that, in place of the overbalancing trough, a weighted lever may be used, which is arranged to move slowly to its dead centre and then falls over and operates the valves.

IPC: A01D75/06
Filed: 1909-05-04
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 10,554. Boult, A. J., [International Grain Shocker Co.]. May 4. Sheafing or binding ap-. paratus. - Shocking - at - tachments for reaping and binding machines comprise means for turning the sheaves upright and a number of receiving and discharging f o r k s mounted on a r o t a r y frame. The forks 27 are journaled in a r m 11 pivoted on arms 10 on the frame C, which is supported by an arm 14 and is rotated by bevelgearing from the knotter shaft. Each arm 11 is normally held in position by a rod 31 and spring 32, a notch in the arm 31 engaging with a pin 36. As each fork passes under the arm 14, a projection 38 disengages the rod 31 from the pin, and the spring 32 pulls the arm inwards until a second notch engages the pin. The fork having thus been forced outwards is driven into the sheaf by an arm 40 connected to a lever 42, which is controlled by a spring 43 and a cam 46 on the knotter shaft. The forks are normally held horizontal bv means of arms 55 and levers 53 connected to a sliding piece 50 held down by the engagement of a roller 58 on a rod 57 with a cam 59. The sheaves are all discharged when the roller 58 enters a depression in the cam, the forks being tilted by the weight of the sheaves. A collapsible central support comprises arms 47 having laterallyturned ends 49 and connected to the sliding piece 50 so as to be turned about their axes as the sheaves are discharged. Bales 30 on the forks push the upper ends of the sheaves towards one another as they fall. The sheaves are turned up to engage the forks by means of revolving arms D, E and a butt-holder F comprising a hook-shaped arm 65 adjustably pivoted to a fixed arm 66. The arm D is carried by a bevel pinion 25, and its outer portion 71 is pivotally connected with the inner part 70 by a pin 73 and slot 72. The parts 70, 71 are normally held in alinement by a spring catch which is released by a fixed projection 83, thus allowing the part 71 to slide outwardly and turn through half a revolution about the pin 73. The arm E is carried by the cam 46 and is similar to the arm D except that a different form of catch is used.
