Title: Improvements in or connected with Grab, Excavating, and the like Apparatus.
Inventor: GILBERT WALTER VILLA
IPC: B66C3/08
Filed: 1911-01-02
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 1. Gilbert, W. V. Jan. 2. Grab-buckets.-In a singlechain grab or like apparatus, the bucket sections are operated from the outer ends of links a, b regulated by catches f co-operating with a stop d on the suspending-cable, the catches being projected or retracted by telescoping spring arms f<3>, f<4> according to the inclination of the links a, and the position of the stop d being regulated by one or more displaceable pulleys e<2>. In the form shown, the links a are pivoted to a head a<3> carrying a bell-shaped guide f<7> for the stop d. The links b are pivoted to a guide-frame for a weight e carrying a pulley e<2>. The weight and pulley may be replaced by spring arms carrying pulleys or a spring drum. The bucket sections 1 are pivoted on axes 2 and the outer ends of the sections are connected to the links a, b by links 4 universally jointed at both ends to form a lever system of the kind described in Specifications 28,948/09 and 9656/11, [Class 80(iii), Linkwork &c.]. The bucket sections may, however, be directly connected to the links b or suspended by links therefrom. The catches fare connected to the links a by telescoping members f', f<4>, springs f<1>, f<2> being arranged within the member f<4> on each side of the head on the member f<3>. In operation, the bucket is lowered in the open position with the catches f suspended from the stop d. When the bucket touches the ground, further paying-out of the cable lowers the stop when the catches are retracted by the compression of the springs f<1> owing to the angular position of the links a. On hauling in the cable, the stop is drawn above the catches, the weight e is raised to the top of the guide frame, the inner ends of the links a, b approach, and the bucket closes. At the same time, the catches f are projected by the angular disposition of the links a causing compression of the springs f<2>. To discharge, after the bucket touches the ground, the rope is payed out to lower the weight until the stop is below the catches f; when the rope is hauled in, the bucket is raised in the open position.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Hydraulic Apparatus.
Inventor: BEAU HENRI
Filed: 1911-03-10
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 6072. Beau, H. March 10. Systems.-The piston c, Fig. 1, is reciprocated by means of a cam g, and the lower part of the cylinder b is connected by a pipe to the upper end of a long vertical pipe a. This pipe is provided with a spring-controlled valve k, flexible diaphragm b<3>, two separate diaphragms p, q, and a lift valve y. Air pockets t, v, are provided behind the diaphragms p, q, and are connected to some source of air pressure w h i c h just keeps the diaphragms in equilibrium against the pressure of the water column. The diaphragm q is such that it can be expanded considerably without appreciably increasing its resistance, while the diaphragm p is such that its resistance increases rapidly as it expands. When in operation, the piston c descends, forcing the water down the tube a, the cam then opening the valve k, and expanding the diaphragm q. At the end of the piston stroke, the diaphragm p absorbs the kinetic energy of the water, the energy being stored as excess air pressure in the pocket t. This pressure then projects the column of water upwards, and more water is drawn in through valve y. The cycle of operations is then repeated. In a modification, the diaphragms p, q are replaced by springs which act upon a piston.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Spotting Fabrics in One or More Colours.
Inventor: WILD LIONEL
Filed: 1911-08-31
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 19,410. Wild, L. Aug. 31. Printing processes; platen machines; printing-surfaces.-Fabrics are printed so as to form imitation beads or spots by employing a multiple frame from which pins are suspended, the pins carried by the separate frames being immersed successively in pans containing colour which are removed to allow the drops of colour to fall from the pins on to the fabric. As shown, a series of short pins i are suspended from a plate 1 carried by a frame 3 which is connected to a frame 4 fitted with a plate 1, through which all the pins pass so as to keep them vertical. The frame 3 is carried by a frame d which can be raised vertically by cords g. A series of long pins j, Fig. 3, are suspended by a plate 2 on a frame 5, which can be moved relatively to the frame 3 and held out of operative position by a. catch k while the frames 3, 4 are lowered so as to cause the pins i to take up ink from a tray supported on rails f. When the tray is removed, the frames 3, 4 are raised and the drops of colour or ink on the pins i are made to fall on to the fabric supported by a frame b on a carriage a. The frame 5 is then released and is moved into the position shown in Fig. 3, and the frames are lowered together so as to cause the pins to take up ink from a different colour - trough, which is provided with stops to prevent the pins i from being inked. A plate m prevents movement of the pins j relatively to their frame 5. Drops from the pins j fall on to the fabric when these pins have been raised to the same height above the fabric as the pins i were when spotting occurred. When spotting in one colour, all the pins may be arranged at one level. For more than two colours, additional frames are employed. If the pins do not take up enough colour to form drops which fall by gravity, printing may be effected by direct contact, the fabric being steamed if necessary to assist the printing action.
