Title: An Apparatus for Unloading Ships.
Inventor: FALKE THEODOR
IPC: B63B27/22
Filed: 1912-09-07
Granted: 1913-11-07
Abstract: 20,408. Falke, T. Sept. 7. Staiths and elevated structures; vessels, tunnel systems for emptying.-Relates to bulk cargo vessels which can be discharged by bucket elevator carried upon a tower structure which can be tele scoped or folded down to the deck level. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the elevator 12, which can be, as shown, or led laterally beneath the floor of the holds to receive the cargo from the ports 3, is carried by a skeleton telescopic tower 6, 7, 8 which can be projected or collapsed by cables 10 operated by winches 9 and passing over pulleys 11. The bucket chains 13 are in the form shown in Fig. 4, or are of the lazy-tongs type, so that the buckets 14 fit into one another as the links of the chain fold during the collapse of the tower. The chainsare driven from a motor 19 driving the sprockets 15, 16, and also the winch gear. To prevent the chains from falling away from the sprockets 15, 16 when the tower is collapsed, arms 30 are provided which are operated by worm gear to engage beneath the guide-rollers 23 on the chains. The buckets 14 are tipped at the upper sprocket-wheels by a disk 27 provided with abutments which engage the lips of the ascending buckets and lead them on to a slide bar 29 over the receiving-hopper 26. A telescopic delivery shoot in three parts 34, 35, 36 conducts away the material. This shoot is suspended by loops 37 from a cable 38, the end 61 of which can be adjusted along a boom 40 by a cable 62, the boom being luffed by a cable 33. In a modification, the parts of the elevators above the deck are pivotally mounted so as to fold down on to the deck. These parts may be slightly out of the centre-line of the vessel, or they may be in its centre-line and swivelled so that, when folded down, they can lie side by side.

Abstract: 3165. Unsworth, R. H. Feb. 6. Scoop-arm machines.-In an excavator, the thrust or digging action is imparted to the boom and bucket by a single rope so disposed that power applied by winding on one end of the rope will be utilized at the other end to act on a rotatable member, while at some intermediate point the rope exerts a lift. The rope C passes from the main barrel D over pulleys B, H, B' to a barrel J connected to pinions E, which engage racks F<1> on the boom F. An auxiliary barrel M and a rope L are provided to rewind the rope C on the barrel J. The barrels M, D can be disconnected from their gears or locked by brakes. When the barrel M rotates freely, rotation of the drum D in the hoisting direction causes the bucket to be lifted by the pulley H and to be thrust forward by rotation of the barrel J. By suitably manipulating the barrels M, D, any desired movement of the bucket may be obtained.

Abstract: 8317. Button, J. L. April 2. Rope grips. - In a sliding - jaw grip, in which the movable jaw is operated by a cam, the movable jaw has an additional rocking movement in a direction at right-angles to the sliding movement. Fig. 3 shows the grip with the jaws in the open position. The upper bent portion of the shank of the movable jaw rests against the surface c of the fixed jaw, thus tilting the jaw out of alinement with the fixed jaw. To close the jaws, the cam-lever G is rotated so that a peripheral cam engages the ledge H and depresses the jaw, while a face-cam rocks the shank until the lower portion rests against the surface c. A similar face-cam rocks the shank of the jaw back again into the position shown during the opening movement of the lever. During this movement, a projection J on the shank engages the lower edge of a recess on the fixed jaw and raises the movable jaw. The cam-lever is mounted on an eccentric sleeve which is rotated to adjust the parts for wear. The sleeve is formed with teeth which engage similar locking-teeth on the pin or on the surface c.
