Abstract: 23,894. Grossmann, E., and Neumann, S. Oct. 28. Loading and unloading by two or more cranes with means for transferring load from one to another ; overhead travellers and transporters ; load, grasping and depositing; lifting - cradles.- Apparatus for loading and unloading ships comprises a ropeway 3 running fore and aft of the vessel and a runway 2 extending to the shore. The runway 2 is trunnioned on a vertical pivot on an operator's platform 4 carried by a lattice-work mast 1, which is pivoted to the deck so that the mast and runway may rest on the deck when not in use. Travelling on the ropeway 3 is a carriage which is traversed by a hauling-rope, and the load is suspended in the bight of a lifting-rope, Fig. 5. Travelling on the runway 2 is a crane, of which the hoisting-rope 12 is passed to a drum 14. An endless operating- rope, extending the length of the runway to the winding gear 7, passes round the drum 14 so as normally to raise or lower the load. When the crane is secured to the operating-rope by a grip actuated from the platform 4, hoisting ceases and the crane is traversed. The yokes 24 of the carriers 23, Fig. 5, are provided with double hooks 25. In unloading a vessel, empty carriers returned upon the hook 9 of the crane are deposited by the free hook 25 upon a counterweighted hook 21. The loaded carrier is suspended from the ropeway 3 is then picked up by the hook 9 and transferred to the shore. The various cables are driven from the ship's engine.

Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 17,913. Allenou, C. M. V. Aug. 2. Reservoir pens.-A fountain pen is provided with a reservoir for receiving water and with a receptacle for containing colouring-substance, which, by valve arrangements, may be opened or closed at will so as to admit the water to the receptacle and allow the required amount of colouring-substance to be dissolved. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the receptacle 1 containing the colouring-substance is attached to a screwstopper 2 and has openings 3 at the base which can be opened or closed as desired by the movement of a disk 4 attached to a rod 5 and actuated by screwing or unscrewing the pen-holding section 6 in the reservoir 7. In some modifications, the openings 3 are formed in the sides of the receptacle 1, or the receptacle is arranged slidably in the stopper 2 or attached to the rod 5, or a flange is formed in the reservoir 7, against which the receptacle 1 abuts so as to form a valve for controlling the admission of the water. In other modifications, a flange, which also serves as a seating for a valve formed on the end of the rod 5, divides the reservoir from a chamber adapted to receive perforated cartridges in which the colouring-substance is supplied. In all these modifications a part of the rod 5 may be spiral-shaped so as to give a longitudinal resilience to the rod. In several further modifications, the receptacle 26, Fig. 5, is provided with a number of perforations and is surrounded by a close-fitting sleeve 29 having similar perforations, either the receptacle or the sleeve being adjustable by rotary or sliding movement to place the perforations in or out of register. In the form shown in Fig. 14, the receptacle 83 is attached to the pen - holding section and has two sets of openings 81, 80 separated by a fixed barrier 88. A sleeve 77 attached to the barrel 89 surrounds the receptacle, and is also provided with two sets of openings 79, 82, so arranged that both sets of openings 79, 81 and 82, 80 are never in register simultaneously. When a solution of ink is to be made, the openings 79, 81 are made to register; when the ink is to be used, the openings 80, 82 are brought together so as to give the ink access to the ink duct 87'. The cap, Fig. 15, used with these pens, is provided with a bore 91 at the top so that the cap may serve as a dropfeeder to deliver water to the pen, and also with a gutter 92 to retain any ink leaking from the pen. The colouring-substance may be stored in small tubes from which it is extruded into the receptacle by means of a piston.

Granted: 1914-03-17
Abstract: 6595. Harper, M. A. J., and " Climax " Ticket Issuing Machine Co. March 17. Tickets, holding, issuing, and registering number of.-In a machine for use in enclosed payboxes, a file of tickets a is held by a suspended rod b over a funnel-like receptacle d, the opening at the bottom of which corresponds to the contour of the tickets. This receptacle is removable and interchangeable for use on other machines, and acts as a gauge to allow tickets of one shape only to be used at a time. The delivery mechanism consists of a slide i which is reciprocated in grooves h beneath the top plate f, by means of a lever m actuated by the handle n and having a roller m<1> which engages lugs k depending from the slide. An opening i<1> in the forward part of the slide receives a ticket, which is thus carried forward on depressing the handle n. On the slide being returned (by springs), the edge of the ticket falls beneath inclined lugs t, the ticket being thus withdrawn from the slide and projected by the face of the lug k down the inclined path into the shoot t', whence it is delivered outside the pay-box. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 4, a lever u projects into the inclined path so as to be moved by the ticket during its passage, and actuates a number-register r through a rod v and spring- retracted arm w. In the form shown in Figs. 3 and 5, a similar lever u<1> draws back a rod v<1>. on the passage of the ticket, which rod on its return under the action of a spring p actuates the sprocket-wheel of a number-register r. The rod v<1> is maintained in place by a spring x, which allows the necessary ratchet action to occur between the rod and the sprocket-wheel. On the return stroke of the slide, the end of the ticket rests upon a spring q<2>, attached to a bar q<1> pivoted to the underplate of the machine, and causes the hook q<3> of the bar to rise and engage a number of holes i<2> in the slide i<1>. These holes have one side bevelled, and form a rack, preventing the slide from being moved forward until the ticket is delivered.

The electric circuit is so arranged that, when any of the studs 11 is depressed, a lamp having a distinguishing colour is also lighted to indicate the posting-station, or place at which the apparatus is erected. The lamps 10 are conical in shape, and are arranged in conical holes 13 in a slab of material 2, and may be provided with internal reflectors to concentrate the light on a small area of the map. An opaque layer 6 of black paper, having excisions coinciding with the positions of the lamps, is placed between the map 4 and the slab 2.
