Filed: 1906-10-25
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 23,754. Fell, J. C., [Yost Writing Machine Co.]. Oct. 25. Typewriters.-Relates to a clutch mechanism more particularly for use in typewriters to facilitate fractional line-spacing. Crown teeth on the line-spacing wheel are engaged by a tooth on a clutch member which can be locked to the platen. The clutch member is adjusted automatically with respect to the platen so that the parts re-engage in the exact relative position desired. Through one platen head 2 passes a headed bolt 10 carrying a nut 11 which screws into a tube 12 fixed to the other platen head 13. The line-spacing wheel is in the form of a ring 16 which turns loosely on a hub 19 fixed to the platen head 13. The wheel 16 is provided with crown teeth 37 which can be engaged by a tooth 38 on a clutch member 39, Fig. 5. The semicircular part of the member 39 fits loosely over a semicylindrical part 41 of a carrier 42, which slides in the tube 12 and is pressed outwards by a spring 36. Inclines 44 on the clutch member 39 are adapted to engage with inclines 59 on a member 57 which is pivoted to the flat part of the carrier 42. The member 57 rests against one side of a slot in the platen head 13 so as to prevent rotation of the carrier 42 relatively to the platen. The platen is disengaged from the line - spacing wheel by pushing in a finger - piece 28 on a plunger 26 which is retained in the inner position by a spring - pressed pin 35. The carrier 42 is thereby moved back and the member 57 is carried out of engagement with the member 39, which is held stationary by a spring 51. On further motion of the carrier 42, a pin 46 engages the member 39 and the tooth 38 is withdrawn from the teeth 37. The platen is then rotated to the desired extent, the line-spacing wheel being held stationary by a detent. When the plunger 26 is released, the carrier 42 moves forwards and the tooth 38 re-engages the teeth 37, the member 39 turning slightly on the carrier if necessary. Further motion of the carrier brings the member 57 into engagement with the inclines on the member 39 and locks the parts together.

Title: Improvements in Rope Grip Apparatus for Haulage or Traction Purposes.
Inventor: ELLIS OSCAR ANDREW
Filed: 1908-03-24
Granted: 1909-03-24
Abstract: 6543. Ellis, O. A. March 24. Motor road vehicles.-A series of rope grips reciprocated in guides on the vehicle are adapted to hold a fixed rope when moving in one direction and to release it on the return stroke. Fig. 1 is an elevation of the apparatus mounted on a wheeled truck, and Fig. 5 is a plan view and Fig. 6 a sectional elevation of one of the grippers. Below the wheeled platform are mounted a pair of channel-iron guides a in which run trollies s, t reciprocated in opposite directions by rods connected to crank-pins mounted on spurwheels e, g, which are driven from a motor by a pinion m. Each trolly comprises a frame carrying rollers 20 and having bearings for longitudinal shafts 24. The eccentric gripping-cams 22 are arranged below these shafts, and are connected thereto by the engagement of inclined slots in the cam arms with vertical pins on the shafts, so that rotation of the shafts effects the opening and closing of the grips. The grips are normally held open by coiled springs on the shafts 24, and are closed by raising lever arms 26 fixed to the shafts at one end and carrying rollers 29 at their outer ends. The arms 26 are automatically raised during the working stroke of the grip by means of fixed rails 31 having pivoted inclined ends 33. During the return stroke the roller 29 passes below the rail 31, and, on reaching the end, raises the flap 33 and allows it to fall again. During the working stroke the roller rides up the incline 33 and slides along the top of the rail 31. A similar flap at the other end of the rail 31 is held in the horizontal position by a slide 35 fitted beneath the rail and reaching beyond the hinge. The slide 35 is arranged so that either or both of the inclines may be held in an elevated position, thus giving a reverse drive or a free engine, and is controlled by a hand-lever 42 and link 41. The cable is guided in the centre of the frame by a series of grooved rollers 13 mounted on transverse shafts which are adapted to swing about a pivot 48 so as to allow the cable to be removed. The opposite ends of the shafts are supported on a bar and are held in position by catches 46 carried by a rock-shaft, Between the sheaves 13 the cable is guided by rails carried on swinging bars in the same way as the sheaves. Vertical rollers are provided at each end of the machine to prevent lateral deviation of the cable. In a modified form of the apparatus three gripping-devices are connected by rods to three cranks arranged at equal angular distances on the driving-shaft.
