Abstract: 26,380. Whiteley, G., and Calam, H. Nov. 14. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery. -Relates to devices for operating rock-shafts to actuate clutches or belt-forks, particularly applicable to milling or fulling machines for treating textile fabrics. The actuating rockshaft 2 carries two arms 3, 4, one operated for engagement of the clutch &c. and the other for disengagement. A starting-handle 5 carries a pinion 7 which gears with a segment 8 carrying a stud 9 which strikes the arm 3 and starts the machine. The stopping-handle 11 carries an arm 22 connected by a slotted link 21 to a pivoted catch 17. This catch 17 is pivoted to a saddle 16 engaging a screw-thread on a rod 13, and engages a roller 19 carried by the arm 4, which arm is attached to a second saddle 15 on the rod 13. A spring 12 separates the two saddles. When the catch is disengaged from the roller 19 by an operation of the handle 11, the spring 12 operates the arm 4 and stops the machine. Operation of the starting-handle 5 resets the parts and compresses the spring 12. The machine may be automatically stopped by the rise of the draft-board 28. This is linked to a segment 26, which gears with a pinion 29 fixed to the rod 13. Rotation of this rod moves the parts 16, 17, 12, 15 bodily, and operates the rod 4. Fall of the draft-board returns the parts and restarts the machine without operation of the handle 5.

Inventor: BESTA PAUL
IPC: B60T7/12
Filed: 1911-06-26
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 14,823. Besta, P. June 26. Actuated by relaxation of pull; locking by positive detents.-Wagons hauled by ropes or chains are prevented from running backwards, or from accidentally running forwards on a down-slope, by the automatic engagement of a lever with a yoke secured to the axle. During the normal forward movement of the truck, as shown in Fig. 1, the yoke 3 on the axle does not engage with a lever 5 pivoted at 4 to the wagon ; but if backward movement commences, engagement occurs, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to stop the wagon. In order to prevent accidental forward movement on a downslope, the lever 5 is provided at the underside with a hook, and is normally held at such a height that the yoke 3 is clear of the hook, but is released automatically when the hauling-rope breaks or becomes detached from the wagon, whereupon the hook and yoke engage. The lever 5 may, for example, be held up by the tendency of the hauling-rope 10, Fig. 7, to rotate a bar 11 which is connected to the lever by a rope 9.

Title: Improvements in the Preparation of Monochlorhydrin.
Filed: 1911-11-21
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 26,036. Sprengstoffwerke R. Nahnsen & Co. Feb. 11, [Convention date]. Monochlorhydrin is obtained by treating glycerine with hydrochloric acid gas in vacuo at such temperatures above 100‹ C. as will permit the monochlorhydrin to distil off; the monochlorhydrin is separated from the aqueous hydrochloric acid, which distils over with it, by fractional distillation. The process can be rendered continuous by continuously introducing the requisite supply of glycerine. In a modification of the process, glycerine is allowed to trickle down through a vacuum chamber filled with contact substances, such as shards or earthenware balls, and heated to 150-160‹ C., while hydrochloric acid gas is admitted at the bottom of the chamber; the reaction products distil off at the top of the chamber and are fractionated.
