Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 3323. Ladd, A. J. H., and Gardiner, R. F. T. Feb. 10. Curtains, suspending.- In clip suspenders for curtains, hangings, draperies &c., of the kind c o m - prising two arms pressed together by a sliding ring, the arms are made in the form of loops b, lying in one plane and gripping along their narrow edges. The space between the meeting faces of tne loops is widened, as shown at c, to accommodate the hem of the curtain &c. d. One of the loops may partly penetrate a slot in the meeting face of the other loop as shown in Fig. 3, or both loops may be bent at an angle as in Fig. 5 so as to form a better grip. One or both loops may be formed in one with, or be attached to, a suspension hook g, or a ring.

Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 8741. Coward, C. April 13. Hoods.-The framework of a folding hood for motor and other road vehicles is pivoted to swinging links 1, 14, pivoted to the vehicle, in such a way that the hood 15, in its folded position, does not project beyond the rear of the seat or seats which it covers, and access to a seat behind it is not hindered. The links 1 are pivoted to the main hood-supports 7, 8, and to brackets 4 on the vehicle which have projections to limit the forward movement of the links; and the links 14 are pivoted to one of the main supports 7, 8. The hood is held in its extended position by ordinary means, such as the jointed bars 16, 17, and may be provided with the ordinary front security straps. When two hoods are employed, they may meet so as to form a complete cover and be provided with overlapping wood or other strips 18, 19 to prevent rain from falling between them. According to the Provisional Specification, the links 1 may be replaced by guides in which the pivots of the main supports can slide towards the front of the vehicle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Work Holders for Heeling Machines.
Inventor: PLANT THOMAS GUSTAVE
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1909-06-01
Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 12,892. Plant, T. G. June 1. Heels, machines for.-In a heeling-machine, a work-holder, which carries the work from receiving to operating position, is provided with a detainer for holding the work in the holder both during its transit and while actually in operating position. In Fig. 4, a detainer is shown fitted to a heel-holder of the heeling - machine described in Specification 12,867/09. The heel is pressed upwards in its holder against a guide-plate 34 by a rod 44. The rod is carried by a lever 42, Fig. 2, pivoted at one end to the heel carriage and connected by a spring 46 to a second lever 38, similarly pivoted and carrying a cam-roller 40. The rod 44 is brought up against the heel, after this has been placed in the holder, by the roller 40, on rotation of the carriage, riding up a rise on a cam 36, (shown developed in Fig. 2), formed round the shaft 30. The rod 44 remains in position during nailing, resting in a groove formed in the top of the anvil. To permit the rod to follow the retreating movement of the anvil described in the Specification above referred to, the cam roller is timed to be resting on a spring-beld latch 52 during the nailing operation. When the anvil retreats, the roller 40 forces back the latch, and, on further rotation of the heel-carriage, falls into the depression in the cam, thus allowing a fresh heel to be inserted in the holder. The position of the cam 36 on the shaft 30 is adjustable, a screw 56 clamping it in position for any desired depth of heel.

Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 14,337. Becker Maschinenfabrik, E. June 23, 1908, [Convention date]. Electric and magnetic; applied by speed regulators; applied by weights.-In brakes for cranes in which the brake pressure increases with the speed of descent of the load, electro-magnetic means are provided for modifying the brake pressure in order to vary the speed of descent at will. A brake drum 31 mounted upon a continuation of the winding-shaft or upon a shaft 3 geared thereto is normally gripped between blocks 12 carried by arms 23, 24 which are connected by links 21, 22 to a disk 33 actuated by a lever 35 provided with an adjustable weight 13. The brake is released by energizing a solenoid 11, and, as the speed of the falling load increases, two arms 19 pivoted on arms 6 keyed to the shaft 3 press brake blocks 8 with increasing force against a drum 34 loosely mounted on the shaft 3. The drum 34 has a pinion 26 gearing with a quadrant 30, the arm of the quadrant being connected by a link 27 to the lever 35 so that the drag of the blocks 8 on the drum 34 increases the pressure of the blocks 12 and controls the speed of descent. The speed of descent is varied by energizing electro-magnets 9, which act in opposition to the centrifugal tendency of the arms 19, and the force exerted by the solenoid 11 may also be varied in addition by introducing resistances into the circuit. In modifications, the solenoid 11 may be replaced by a pneumatic, hydraulic, or spring resistance, or it may be omitted altogether, the solenoids 9 may be placed on the arms 19, the centrifugal device may be placed on a separate shaft, and the blocks 12 may be replaced by a band brake. Another form is described in which the blocks 8 act on the interior of a drum, and are acted upon directly by the solenoids 9 into which they may project.

Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 16,494. Johnston, W. C., [Bull, E. J.]. July 15. Planes, arrangement of; balancing.-Relates to flying-machines having supporting-planes hinged about axes in the line of flight so that the planes can be adjusted to increase the dihedral angle between the undersides of the hinged portions, thereby tending to maintain the machine in its horizontal position to facilitate descent or to steady the machine when falling in case of accident to the propeller. According to the present invention, a biplane machine has the upper and lower planes connected together and adapted to be adjusted simultaneously about one or more axes in the upper plane, the lower plane being divided so as to open outwards, thereby increasing the steadying effect by admitting a more direct current of air to the top plane. Fig. 1 shows the planes in the normal position, and Fig. 2 shows them opened up about a hinge A in the top plane. A triangular frame a may be provided at each side of the planes, and the lower plane may carry rollers a<3>, a<4> engaging the lower side of the frame. In a modification, the two parts of the planes, instead of being hinged together at A, may be hinged to the oppos,te sides of a central rectangular frame. The planes may be adjusted, for example, by means of right and left handed screws f, Fig. 5, which are arranged at opposite sides of the planes and adapted to be rotated from a hand-wheel f<6> through worm gearing so as to move nuts f<7>, f<8>, which are connected bv brackets F, F<1> to cross-rods j, j<1> attached to the planes.

Abstract: 2522. Thompson, W. P., [Bingham, G. J.]. Jan. 31. Capillary-action lubricators.-A lubricator for railway-vehicle axles, shafts &c. comprises a number of oil - transmitting wicks pressed by springs against the journal each wick having a core of wires and an absorbent sheath. The wires serve both to feed the lubricant and to transmit heat from the journal to keep the lubricant in a fluid condition. Fig. 18 shows a wick having a core 35 of twisted wires surrounded by braided wires 37, and enclosed in an absorbent sheath 36. Either the core 35 or the wires 37 may be omitted. Each wick 10 is carried by a sheet-metal flanged finger 9, Fig. 3, formed with raised straps 14 for attachment to one end of a coiled leaf spring 11. The spring is folded upon itself before being coiled, and the other free end is doubled under a flexible base-plate 6, the edges of which are notched to prevent the spring from moving laterally. The end of the spring is bent up to form a catch c A clip 13 may be placed under the plate 6 and bent up at its ends to embrace the edges of the plate and the spring. The two plates 6 are connected by strips 7, furnished with a handle 8, and rest upon a felt pad 38 to deaden vibrations. Sheet metal wings 39 check splashing of the oil in the axle-box. Fig. 8 shows a modification in which the wicks touch the journal on the opposite side to the base-plate to which they are attached, and each wick is covered by a perforated metal plate 18, which prevents glazing of the wick and also acts as a heat-conducting medium. In another modification, the springs 11 are replaced by spring hinges. Hinge barrels are bent from the sheet metal of the finger 9 and the base-plate 6, and a wire spring coiled around the hinge-pin engages the finger 9.
