Title: Improvements in Dredging Apparatus.
Inventor: NEWMAN THOMAS OSWALD
Filed: 1908-04-21
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 8691. Newman, T. O. April 21. Dredging.-Relates to dredgers of the type described in Specification No. 9880, A.D. 1899. The sliding stop-bar 2 of the dredger is adapted to rotate as well as slide in the slotted nose-plates 1, and has a central lever 6 connected to the rear hauling-cables, and arms. 3 at its ends carrying runners 5 connected to the front hauling-cables. The angle between the central lever and the side arms is such that, when the front cables are pulled, the stop-bar is rotated to bring the runners on the ground and raise the nose of the dredger to clear the spoil as it is drawn back ; while when the rear cables are pulled to expand the jaws of the dredge, the central lever rotates the stop-bar and lowers the nose of the dredger. Steering-means are provided, comprising a wheel 12, which is mounted in a steering-head 9 loosely connected to the stop-bar by bridle bars 10, and is controlled by a hand-wheel 20 in front of the driver's seat 21. A rudder or other equivalent may be substituted for the wheel 12. For land transport of the dredger, the steering wheel and head are disconnected from the stop-bar and attached to a crossbar bolted to the tail ends of the dredging-jaws, the runners 5 are removed, and the arms 3 are secured in their lower position by stays and are provided with wheels the axles of which fit in perforated bosses 4 in the arms.

Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 9382. Alkin, T. T. April 18. Dental instruments.-A dental hand-piece has a clutch placed between the toolholder and the spindle so that the tool may be stopped instantly. In the instrument shown in Fig. 2, the dog clutch 10 is slidably mounted on the spindle 13, and is pressed into engagement with the dog teeth 16 of the tool-holder 25 by a spring 11; it is disengaged, and the tool therefore stopped, by pulling down a sleeve 5 by means of a finger trigger 7. In a hand-piece of the slip-joint type shown in Fig. 9, the expanding tool-holder 43 is mounted in a sleeve 42 and is pressed so as to grip the tool 1 by a wedge 46 resting on a plunger 49 raised by the knuckle 52 of an elbow-lever 53, which is turned by a ramp 56 connected to the spindle 65 mounted in a sleeve 70. When the sleeve 70 is forced inwards by the trigger 69, the ramp releases the lever 53, so that the backward pressure of the tool-holder forces down the wedge and releases the tool, which consequently stops.
