Inventor: POWNER DIXON
IPC: B66B13/10
Filed: 1910-04-07
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 8445. Powner, D. April 7. Lift doors, locking and unlocking and operating. -Relates to devices for automatically closing and locking lift gates, of the type in which cams on the cage engage a roller on the end of a sliding bar carried by the gate, as described in Specification 4548/05. The rod b, carrying the roller a at one end, is secured to the gate, and, when the gate is opened, slides into a socket c in a casing f fixed to the well. A slotted catch m is pivoted in the casing, and is embraced by the forked end of a spring-pressed plunger g, which carries a roller i at its other end. When the cage arrives at a floor, the part q of the cam e engages the roller i and moves the plunger to lift the catch m and release the rod b, so that the gate may be opened by hand. On the cage leaving the floor, the cam e engages the roller a and positively closes the gate, which is locked by the catch m. The roller a is eccentrically mounted on its spindle, and may be adjusted to take up wear of parts.

Abstract: 9515. Doolittle, P. E. April 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Adjusting length of; runners and like friction blocks. -A spring drum 6 mounted in an open frame has a cord 5 coiled around it and passing off in opposite directions to clamps 3, which engage the suspension end 2 of the lamp &c. at two points, the cord 2 being looped up between these points. The lower part of the cord 5 is given several turns around the frame 10 so as to have a frictional grip thereon. The spring is formed of two concentric spiral wires having one end attached to the drum spindle and the other to the hub of the drum, a layer of fabric being interposed between the concentric spirals. Each clamp 3 comprises a circular wire ring with a diametrical piece 4 lying out of the plane of the ring. The lower part of the frame 10 may be formed of two abutting curved parts with an eyelet 11 at the bottom, or may be formed of bent wire. For suspending heavier weights, the drum frame is attached directly to a hook, and the upper end of the cord 5 hangs over the drum to serve as a hand-control rope.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Ordnance Loading Mechanism.
Inventor: HOOLOOSSY MEHMED
IPC: F41A9/42
Filed: 1910-06-22
Granted: 1911-06-26
Abstract: 15,035. Hooloossy, M. June 22. Loading-appliances. - Consists in a ramming-mechanism for simultaneously advancing the projectile and charge by a single movement in one direction. The rammer has a pivoted projectile - engaging head and, at a suitable position in its length, a charge - pushing plate. The mechanism is provided with screw-advancing gearing which is automatically reversed at the end of each stroke without reversal of the actuating hand-wheels or motor. A sponging-attachment may be combined with the rammer head. Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation, and Fig. 8 a part plan of the mechanism. The rammer o with the projectileengaging head p and charge-pushing plate 22 slides in guides in brackets k<1> on a carriage k, which in turn slides in guides n upon an arm a of T-section carried by the cradle of the gun q. A nut s, fixed to the rammer by a screw o<1> and held against rotation by a feather u, works upon a hollow screw-shaft t, which is journaled in the carriage k and carries a pinion 6 and a nut x at its rear end. The nut x works upon a second and non - rotatable screw - shaft w, arranged within the shaft t and connected by a spring 2 with the rear end of the arm a. By rotating the hand-wheels 21, or starting a motor, the shaft i is rotated through gearing 12<a>, 12, shaft 10, gearing 9, and barrel pinion 7 geared with the pinion 6. The nut u is thereby traversed along the screw t, carrying the rammer o forwards relatively to the carriage k, while simultaneously, the nut x and screw-shaft w cause the screw t and carriage k, together with the carrier h for the charges g, also to be moved forwards towards the gunbreech. When the projectile e is rammed home, the resistance to forward motion causes the nut x to displace the shaft w longitudinally against the action of the spring 2 to effect the reversal of the mechanism through the lever-and-link device 20<a>, 20, 18 connected to the member 15 of a reversing-gear 14, 15. During the withdrawal of the rammer which ensues, the rammer-head p swings upon its pivot so that it freely passes the charges g. At the end of the withdrawal, the nut x again causes displacement of the screw-shaft w, but in the opposite direction, and the mechanism is again reversed. An indicator 34 operated by worm-gearing 35, 36 and rack-and-pinion gear 31, 32, connected to the carriage k, may be provided to indicate the position of the rammer. A sponging-attachment 25, 25<a> may be combined with the rammerhead, the connexion being such that the sponge may be caused to move with the rammer only when desired; at other times the attachment is turned aside.

A driving-pulley (not shown) is mounted upon a driving-shaft b journaled loosely in a trunnion a attached to the drum a<1> of the washing- machine. Fast upon the shaft and the trunnion are pinions b<2>, a<3>, respectively, and loose upon the shaft is a pinion d, which is in one with a flanged disk d<3> acting as one of the brake drums. The other brake drum e<1>, e<2>, e<3> is also mounted so as to be capable of free rotation about the same axis and carries, loose upon a spindle e, a compound pinion consisting of three members a<4>, b<3>, d<5> engaging respectively with the three pinions a<3>, b<2>, d. The drums are encircled by brake straps e<4>, d<4>, which are alternately tightened and released by means of cams upon a countershaft f<1> rotated from the driving-shaft as shown, whereby opposite rotations of the trunnion a are produced accordingly as the spindle e or the pinion d is held stationary by the action of the brakes. Fig. 3 shows the upper and lower halves of the brake strap d' with the lugs f<2> thereon which enable the cam f upon the countershaft to tighten the strap. Hooked attachments g<1>, g<2> to the strap halves take over cranked portions g<3>, g<4> of a shaft provided with a handle g<5>, Fig. 2, whereby both straps may be slackened in order that the machine may stop.

Granted: 1913-01-08
Abstract: 593. Kiralfy, I. Jan. 8. Amusement apparatus. - An amusement or transporting device, which may also be made on a small scale as a toy, consists of a number of swinging arms a<5> which at one end of the swing receive a car b<3> or the like from a neighbouring arm and at the other extremity of the swing hand it to the next arm. The arms are pivoted to a structure a, which may form a straight or closed track, and are oscillated by cranks a<6> driven from a common shaft. Each arm is provided with two hooks or grippers a<9>, a<10>, Fig. 5, which are moved relatively to each other by cam grooves a<15>, a<16> so that the hook a<10> receives the car, and during the swing of the arm transfers it to the hook a<9> which hands it on to the next arm. The hook a' is provided with a trigger which is engaged by the car. Should a car fail to be transferred at the proper time, the trigger allows a pawl on each arm to engage a ratchet on a fixed sector and also applies a hand brake to the driving-shaft, thus stopping the mechanism and locking each arm in position. If a closed track is used, the cars are transported round curved portions either by means of a swinging arm which also rotates about a vertical axis, or by means of a short railed track which has movable hooks at its ends. In the latter case, the cars have wheels of different diameter to allow them to run evenly on the curved track.
