Title: Improvements in or relating to Gate Operating Appliances.
Inventor: MCMULLAN ARCHIBALD
IPC: E05F13/02
Filed: 1912-04-06
Granted: 1913-04-07
Abstract: 8321. McMullan, A. April 6. Operating gates by weights and from a distance by hand.-In mechanism for opening and closing gates from a distance in which an arrangement of cords and levers is adapted to tilt the axis of the gate to enable it to open or close by gravity, the gate latch being so constructed that it is released by the tilting of the gate, the gate axis is tilted by means of a wheel around which the operating-cords pass, the wheel being rotatably mounted upon a fixed axle on the gate-post and provided with a slot or recess to engage a projection upon the gate. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the lower pivot 12 of the gate 1 is mounted in a footstep 10 on the gate-post 2 and the upper pivot 13 is arranged further from the gate-post than the lower pivot and engages a hole or slot 18, Fig. 3, in a wheel 15 mounted upon a pivot 16 on the gate-post. The wheel is provided with a pair of grooves 21, 22 to receive chains 23, 24 attached to the wheel by screws 25, 26 and connected through flexible connexions to levers 30 arranged at a suitable distance on opposite sides of the gate and operated by cords 31. The pivots 13, 16 are connected by a link 27 to relieve the wheel from the weight of the gate. In a second form of the apparatus, the wheel is adapted to operate the lower pivot of the gate. The gate latch comprises a lever 55 adapted to engage a retaining-recess 63 between a pair of checks 61, 62, Fig. 10, and of such a depth as to permit the release of the latch when the gate axis is tilted. A pivoted stop 64 is provided to prevent the latch from passing right through the catch when the gate is closed. As the gate closes, the stop is turned by the latch into engagement with one of a pair of stops 70, 71 and causes the latch to drop into the recess 63, after which the stop returns to its initial position. A recess 67 in the stop permits the ordinary release of the latch. In a modification, the stop is fixed and shaped at its lower end to deflect the latch into the recess 63, which is made wider to permit the latch to clear the stop in opening the gate in either direction. The Provisional Specification also states that the checks 61, 62 of the catch may be pivoted to permit the gate to close easily.

Abstract: 11,607. Parker, J., and Taite, J. C. May 15. Detonator apparatus. - Pencilshaped detonators are moved from a magazine to the rail by a plunger and projector tube which move independently of one another and also have a common movement. The apparatus is similar to that described in Specifications 18,584/05, 7913/08, and 28,000/08, in which the projector tube co-operates with a fixed plunger. Fig. 2 shows one form of apparatus with the detonator 9 in firing position. To withdraw the detonator, either before or after firing, the rod 14 carrying the plunger 12 is retracted and moves the tube 10 with it until the pawl 18 clears the face 23 of the slide 19 and the pins 21 on the cross-head 11 meet the lug 22. The further motion of the plunger rod withdraws the plunger 12 through the stationary tube 10, and allows a fresh detonator to enter the tube from the magazine. The next forward movement of the plunger rod 14 carries the plunger 12 through the tube until the slide 20 clears the pawl 18 and the head 13 meets the cross-head 11, after which both move together. A block is arranged to obstruct the movement of the plunger rod when the magazine is empty. In other forms of apparatus, a weight is used to retract the projector tube, or a roller ball in a slot in the cross-head 11 engages the plunger-rod head 13 during the front part of the stroke only, and drops into a depression in the bed-plate during the back part, or an arrangement of pivoted links and pawls may be used.

Abstract: 20,646. M³ller, F. Sept. 18, 1912, [Convention date]. ' Crown corks,' applying.-A 'Crown-cork' capsule is cut from metal strip by which it is transported to a cap-shaping die, in which it is retained until the die reaches a cap-applying position, the capsule being then placed on the bottle. The strip is fed by rolls 74,Fig. 7, to a cutting-out stamp 82, and thence to a shaping- stamp 67. The die containing the capsule is then rotated with a table 38 to a plunger 66 which presses a cork washer into the capsule. On further rotation of the table, the capsule is placed on a bottle neck 129, Fig. 2, by an arm 63. The capsule is finally fixed by a capsuling - head 147, to which the bottle 129 is moved by a rotating table 131. The machine is driven by a shaft 7, Fig. 1, connected with a driving-pulley 8, which is thrown out of connexion when the table 131 presents a space without a bottle. The bottles are supported on spring plungers 126, Fig. 2, which rise when a bottle is omitted, so that a pin 151 on the plungers engages a detent 154. The spring detent has a wedgeshaped end 156, Fig. 9, engaging a spring-pressed rod 157, also with a wedge end, which engages the trip-rod 160, Fig. 1, of the pulley 8. The stamp 82 is carried on a slide frame 86, Fig. 7, and is operated by a lever 87, Fig. 1, on a shaft 88 which also carries the arm 63 for placing a capsule on a bottle neck. The shaft 88 is rocked by an arm engaging in a cam-slot in a disk 9 attached to a shaft 5, which is driven from the shaft 7 by a worm-wheel 177. The capsuling-head 147, Fig. 2, is driven by a pin 145 engaging a cam-slot 130 in a disk 179, connected by worm gearing with the shaft 7. The plungers 66, 67, Fig. 7, are driven by an arm 59 of a bell-crank 60, Fig. 2, on the arm of which is a cam roller 61<a> engaging a slot in the cam 9. The cap-placing arm 63 is similarly driven. Cork washers 45, Fig. 7, are fed down a tube 47, and are prevented from sticking by wire brushes (not shown). A slide 48 worked from a cam 55, Fig. 1, delivers the washers to the plunger 66, Fig. 7. The table 38, Fig. 2, is intermittently rotated by ratchet mechanism connected by a rod 16 with a rockicg lever 11. The table 131 is geared to a wheel 134, Fig. 2, on the same spindle as the table 38. The feed-rollers 74, Fig. 7, are geared together and the lower one is worked by a roller clutch provided with a ball detent to prevent movement of the roller except, in a forward direction.
