Granted: 1914-08-20
Abstract: 18,949. Haddan, R., [Railway Automatic Safety Appliance Co.]. Aug. 20. Track apparatus for stopping trains. - A flexible arm 1, which normally rests in position for opening a brake valve on a passing train, is carried by a shaft 2 supported at its lower end by a carriage 12 having two diametricallyopposite rollers 14 which rest in the troughs between two cam-parts 11<a> on a table 11. If the arm 1 is struck by a part of the engine frame, the arm 1 and its shaft 2 are driven round, and are retarded as the rollers 14 run up the inclines 11<a>. The table 11 has depending inclined portions 15 which run on rollers 16 pivoted on the frame 17 and also a depending rod which is engaged by a roller 19 on an operating-lever 5 to cause the table 11 to rotate when the arm 1 is to be moved to ' safety ' position. As the table is rotated, it is caused to rise by the riding of the inclines 15 on the rollers 16, and the arm 1 is thus caused both to turn out of the operative position and to rise from the level of the engine brake valve. The table 11 is raised during its rotation far enough to bring the top of the carriage 12 into contact with the sleeve 21 and illicit turning of the shaft 2 is thereby prevented while the table is raised. Should any of the gear associated with the operating - lever 5 break, the table will run down to its lower position and the arm 1 will return to the ' danger ' position. A signal lamp is fixed to the top of the shaft 2.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Clamping and Nailing Boards.
Inventor: BINGER NICKOLAUS
IPC: E04F21/22
Filed: 1915-08-24
Abstract: 12,171. Binger, N. Aug. 24. Inserting wire and like metal nails.-In a machine for nailing floor-boards, the underlying joist is first gripped by teeth 32, Fig. 3, on jaws 31 pivoted to ears 17 formed in a body or case in which slides a plunger 20. The plunger is then moved longitudinally to force the board to be nailed into position, and the nails are then driven through it into the joist. The gripping and feeding operations are both performed by the same movement of a lever 37, Fig. 1. This is pivoted below the end of the square plunger, and above to levers 38 which actuate a stud 41 sliding in a slot in a plate 12, which is fixed to the bottom plate 5 of the square body in which the plunger slides. The stud is connected by links 35 to the ends of the gripping-levers, the action being first to close the teeth 32 on to the joist, and secondly, since the stud 41 has then become fixed, to actuate the plunger to feed the board. The upper edges of the sides 2 of the body are toothed so that a gravity pawl 30 pivoted to the arm 37 prevents this arm from moving in a direction contrary to that indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1, thereby locking the board just driven into position. This is assisted by a depending stud 15 with a chisel head, which is forced into the joist and, by fixing the body, also ensures the release of both teeth 32 when the lever 37 is moved back. The sides of the square plunger and body are suitably slotted longitudinally to admit of the movements of the links. The nailing-apparatus may be used independently of the feeding-apparatus, and consists of a grooved and slotted hopper 58, Fig. 7, for the nails, from which they gravitate down a slot made by oppositely-situated arms 60. These form with the lower part 59 a frame from which extends a resilient rectangular band grip 61 for the hopper. The nails are fed individually on to spring fingers 77 and into the path of a plunger 54, which is racked at 53 to engage a toothed sector 52 pivoted at 51 concentrically with and operated by the nailing- lever 56. As the fingers descend under the plunger, they are spaced by the inclined edges of slots in a floor-piece 55, which underlies a slot 48 forming a nail shoot in the frame 45 of the apparatus. The nail is thus released and driven through the board into the joist To ensure delivery of the nails one at a time, an opening 78, Figs. 7 and 9, is made through the arms 60, and through it on one side projects the doubly cranked end 85 of a strip 80 pivoted to the frame at 81, and on the other side, a smaller arm 91 pivoted to the strip at 87. The strip is deflected at 82, and at 83 is bent downwardly at an angle, in addition to which both strip and arm are biassed by a spring 93 so that in conjunction with the plunger 54, which takes at alternate strokes against the end 83 and the side of the strip, they enter alternately into the opening 78 and feed the nails singly as required.
