Title: Improvements in and relating to Hoisting Apparatus.
Filed: 1904-07-13
Granted: 1905-05-18
Abstract: 15,633. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 13. Hoists; cranes; brakes; starting in wrong direction, preventing.-A brake for lifting- apparatus is described which prevents the drum from running backwards except when the motor is rotating with sufficient energy to carry the load, or when it is desired to release the brake for lowering the load ; also, means are provided for totally releasing the brake after the motor has picked up its load. A motor M mounted on the shaft m drives through gearing a shaft d on which is mounted the winding-drum D. The shaft m also carries a brake wheel B and a brake band b, one end b<1> of which is fixed to the framework A, the other end b' being fixed to a vertical rod R. The lower end of this rod engages a spiral spring S mounted on the shaft c of the motor switch (not shown). The shaft c may be rotated by ropes H,L fixed to the ends of the lever C. The gearing is so arranged that, when the wheel B is rotated for hoisting, the braking-effect is diminished. When it is desired to lower, the rope L is pulled and the brake strap is lifted out of action. To prevent loss of energy while hoisting, the upper end of the rod R is secured to a lever r pivoted on the frame A. An arm F is mounted on the shaft d so as to tend to rotate therewith but to slip more or less easily. The outer end of this arm engages with the lever r, and the movement of the arm is limited by stops f. When the rope H is pulled down, the motor is energized, the shaft d being rotated when the motor picks up its load. The rotation of this shaft presses down the arm F and raises the rod R through the pivoted lever r, thus totally releasing the pressure of the band on the brake wheel.

Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 23,216. Fish, S. R. Oct. 28. Shaping. - A vice is combined with a hand shaping-machine. The vice a, of any construction, is connected to a slide b which has V's d on which a saddle e works. The upper part of the saddle has a socket f into which the pivot g of a crossslide h, fits. Upon the cross-slide h is a transverse block i having V's j in which a tool arm k, connected to a tool-holder l, slides. The tool arm k is operated by a hand-lever n, pivoted to the tool arm at o and at the end p to a link q which is pivoted at r to the block i. To feed the tool m across the work, the block i is provided with a ratchet-wheel s and a pawl t. The ratchet-wheel s has a boss u threaded on a screw v, and the pawl t is pivoted to a plate w mounted on the boss u so that it engages the tooth of the ratchet-wheel. The plate w is operated by a pin x which may be fixed, in any position along a V groove y in the side of the tool arm k, by a bolt and nut z, and has a V shaped opening a' so that as the tool arm k moves backwards and forwards the pin x will alternately engage the sides of the opening a<1> and so rock the plate w, thus rocking round the ratchetwheel s on the stationary screw v and consequently moving the transverse block laterally on the crossslide k. A winch - handle may be used on the squared end b<1> of the screw v to bring the tool rapidly into position, and a lock-nut c<1> may be employed to hold the screw stationary for the automatic feed. In order that the tool may be fed either to right or left, the pivot pin d<1> of the pawl t has two flats e<1>, and a spring-controlled plunger f <1> engages with one of these flats to keep the pawl in driving engagement with the ratchet-wheel to rock it either in one direction or in the other. In the operation of the machine, the work is held in the jaws of the vice a, and the shaping-attachment is moved along the slide b and fastened in a suitable position by means of the screws g<1>. By means of a winch-handle on the end b<1> of the screw v, the tool m and the transverse block i are then moved into position, when the nut c' is turned to lock the screw v. The cross-slide h is then brought to the required height and turned to any desired angle, its pivot g being fastened in the socket f by a bolt h<1>. The tool m is then moved backwards and forwards across the work by the hand-lever n, the pin x engaging the plate w at each stroke to feed the tool. A rack and pinion may be employed instead of the lever n and link q to move the tool arm.
