Title: Improvements in and relating to Couplings for Railway and similar Vehicles.
Inventor: SINCLAIR ALEXANDER CAMPBELL
Filed: 1906-12-12
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 28,298. Sinclair, A. C., and Windley, J. W. Dec. 12. Couplings, automatic and non- automatic. - Relates to the coupling described in Specification No. 14,984, A.D. 1905, in which a jointed link was adapted to be operated from the side of the vehicle for non-automatic coupling by camlevers fixed upon a rotary cross-shaft, or to be held in the raised position by catches provided on a second shaft and to be automatically released by the impinging buffer plungers so as to fall into engagement with the opposing hook. The present invention provides special catch mechanism. Links a, b, jointed at c, are fitted with pins e, f adapted to be engaged by lifting cams m on a shaft i, the parts being retained in the raised position, as shown in Fig. 2, by the engagement of a catch n' on the shaft i with a catch p<1>, which is mounted on a second shaft j and has a weighted arm p<4>. The catches are released automatically by arms r, connected to the buffers and arranged to push against stops p<2> on the catches p<1>. In order that subsequent movements of the buffer may not affect the coupling-mechanism, arms n<2>, p<3> provided on the catches n<1>, p<1> engage, as shown in Fig. 3, as the lifting-cams fall into their inoperative position, thereby turning the stop p<2> out of engagement with the arm r. In a modification, the catches are released by the engagement of stops u, Fig. 4, on the buffer plungers with arms t on the shafts j. Figs. 5 and 6 show modified constructions of coupling-links.

Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 21,674. Beluze, C., and Langenieux, L. Nov. 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins in, automatically ; change-box motions.-Change-box looms are provided with automatic bobbin-changing mechanism. The bottom lever of the drop - box motion is adjustably connected by a link and a lever to a rock-shaft f, Fig. 2, which, through spur -wheel gearing, transmits an oscillatory movement to a sector-lever j. This lever is adjustably connected by a link l, which is adjustable in length, to a sliding bobbin magazine m having as many bobbin compartments as there are shuttle boxes in the drop-box. The magazine is thus moved in unison with the movements of the drop-box, and the compartment containing bobbins with weft similar to that in the active shuttle is always under a striker r at the proper time. The striker r is depressed by means of a bell-crank lever s, which is operated in the usual manner by a bunter t on the lay acting on a slide t' when the weft in the shuttle is exhausted, and the striker acts on a plunger p, which is lowered against the action of a spring u and forces the lowest bobbin n, Fig. 3, in the compartment into the shuttle. The magazine compartments are inclined at their lower ends, so that the lowest bobbins come below the plungers, where they rest on spring-pressed hinged bearers o.

Abstract: 3330. Wooldridge, S. C. Feb. 14. Shearing.-Handle-attachment lugs or ears or equivalent parts of buckets and like receptacles are cut from metal strips by shearing-tools, which, with the reversal of the strips after each operation, form a complete lug at each stroke, the strip being moved between guides and a pivoted stop being arranged in the cutting plane of the tools. The strips are rolled with the central part thicker than the marginal parts, the former part being for attachment to the handle and the latter part for riveting to the bucket. The strips are equal in width to a full length of one ear plus the length of the part b of another ear, Fig. 5. The strip is moved in guides l against a counterweighted pivoted stop f, Fig. 2, between a fixed knife d and a reciprocating knife e, the knives having the configuration corresponding to the outline of one side of one ear blank and of one side of the part b of another blank, as shown at g, Fig. 5. The strip is turned over after each cut and moved up to the stop, which is moved out of position by the blade e in its descent. Ears, such as h,j, are thus alternately made.

Title: An Improved Massaging Device.

Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 19,484. Breddin, J. P. Sept. 16. Lift valves piston valves; actuating valves.- Valves for pulsating pneumatic massage apparatus are operated in one direction by air-pressure, and in the opposite direction by springs when the air pressure is equalized. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the chamber 5<a> of the applicator 5 contains a sliding tubular piston 6, which is forced down against the spring 7 by air entering through the inlet 8<a> as exhaustion takes place through the pipe 10. The exhaustion and consequent fall continue until the ring 12 is moved and closes the suction pipe 10, whereupon sufficient air enters the chamber 5<a> by leaks or provided passages and lifts the piston 6, opening the air inlet 9 and causing the piston to rise until the ring 12 again checks the air flow. The apparatus shown in Figs. 4 and 6 is provided with an elastic membrane 13, a rubber valve 16, and a sliding tubular valve 22, attached to a sleeve 17 which is depressed by a spring 7. The chamber 18 has an air opening 19, the chambers 15, 5<a> are connected by an adjustable opening 27, and the chambers 20, 5<a> by an opening 21. The chamber 5<a> is exhausted directly, and the chamber 15 through the opening 27 until the difference of pressure on the sides of the membrane 13 is sufficient to force it upwards, together with the sleeve 17, and the attached valves 16, 22. An opening 25 in the valve 22 is thus put out of register with an opening 26 in the suction-pipe 10, and exhaustion ceases. Air enters through the inlet 19, breaks the vacuum in the chamber 5<a>, and, entering the chamber 15 by the passage 27, reduces the difference of pressure on the sides of the membrane 13 so that the latter falls under the action of the spring 7, taking with it the sleeve 17 and the valves 16, 22.
