Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 15,187. Rendall, W. R. W..July 1. [Cognate Application, 29,558/13.] Lateral-splash guards 2 for road vehicles are pivoted to a bracket 1 carried by the vehicle, an arm 3 on the guard being connected to the bracket by a spring 4. An arm or rod 6, pivoted to the axle-cap of the wheel and hinged at 7 to allow of its swinging towards or away from the wheel rim, is connected by a link 12 to a quadrant 9, or the equivalent, which is connected by a cord or chain 11 to the mud-guard. The lower end 8 of the rod 6 is made thicker than the mud-guard, the inside of the thickened part 8 being roughened or covered with rubber, so that the rod, when it comes in contact with the kerb, is pressed against and carried around with the wheel, thereby lifting the mud-guard 2 off the ground. In the event of the mudguard meeting a stone or other obstruction, it is moved along its pivot so as to ride over the obstruction.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Making Preliminarily Bent Chain Links.
Inventor: WILKE GUSTAVE
IPC: B21L15/00
Filed: 1914-05-06
Abstract: 11,219. Wilke, G. May 6, 1913, [Convention date]. Coiling; formers; shearing-adjuncts.-In a machine for making chain links of the type in which the wire is coiled by a non-circular mandrel rotating in a helically-formed nut, the shearing-device is mounted directly behind the mandrel and the mandrel is disconnectible from the driving-shaft so that each coil may be severed independently from the helix. The mandrel 12, which may be moved longitudinally in a sleeve 11 so as to allow of the insertion of the wire or rod 18 within a slot 19 in the end thereof, is rotated in the helical nut 16, Fig. 6, by gearing 6, 8 from the driving-shaft 2. The forward motion of the mandrel is stopped when the mandrel has passed through the nut by a head 15 bearing against the sleeve 11, subsequent rotation of the mandrel causing the end coils to slip therefrom. The wire is pressed 'down on the mandrel at the inserting end by a roller 35 carried by a cam-operated lever 37, which also carries a second roller 40 at the other end to press on the wire when only a few turns remain in the guide-nut and also to hold the coils so that they may be cut off evenly. In order that each coil may be independently severed, the wheel 6 is loosely mounted on the driving-shaft and is provided with a number of holes 30 in its surface corresponding to the gear ratio of the wheels 6, 8. These holes are engaged by a spring-pressed pin 7 on the gear wheel 5, which is disengaged by a wedge-shaped bar 34 engaging the roller 33 at the end of a rotation of the mandrel so as to allow the shaft 2 to rotate independently until the pin drops into the next hole in the wheel 6 at the completion of a rotation of the shaft 2. During this interval the sliding member 21 of the shearing cutters 21, 20 is reciprocated by its cam 24 to sever the coil and is retracted again by a cam 26 engaging the bar 25.
