Title: Improvements in and relating to Trippers or Load-dischargers for Belt Conveyers.
Inventor: MESSITER EDWIN HENRY
Filed: 1906-03-31
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 7816. Messiter, E. H. March 31. Conveyers. - Relates to trippers or load-dischargers for belt conveyers, and comprises m e a n s for automatically effecting the e operation thereof from the motion of the band. The axis 8 of the belt-pulley 5 carries the traction wheels 16 and moves in a sliding frame 11 under the action of a spring 13 so t h a the wheels 16 are normally out of engagement with the track D and in contact with fixed brake blocks 17. Under these conditions the tripper is drawn forward with the speed of the conveyer belt. The frame 11 is connected by a pivoted lever 23 to one member of togglelinks 29, 28, the o t h e r member being integral with an arm 26 carrying a roller 30. When the tripper reaches its forward limit the arm 26 is thrown by a fixed guide 31 into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The wheels 16 then contact with the track D and are prevented from returning as the links 28, 29 are forced slightly beyond their position of alinement, the arm 26 at the same time engaging a fixed stop 33. The tripper therefore reverses its travel and moves until a fixed guide 32 forces back the arm 26 when the return travel recommences. In a modification, Fig. 5, the tripper travels forward with a speed differing from that of the belt. In this form the pulley 5 is not braked but carries a gear-wheel 44 meshing with a gear-wheel 45 integral with a forward driving-wheel 42. The forward and reverse driving-wheels 42, 16 are carried by a swinging, triangular frame 40, which is rocked by an arm 49 engaging guides 51, 52, and acting through toggles 46, 47 linked by a bar 48 so as to throw one or other of the traction wheels 42, 16 into contact with the tracks. By suitably varying the sizes of the various wheels, any desired speed ratio may be obtained.

Inventor: BRINDLEY GEORGE FRED
Filed: 1906-05-18
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 11,675. Brindley, G. F. May 18. Electric furnaces. - An electrode furnace for fusing materials which may be corrosive, such as sodium peroxide, has its casing 1 cooled by a water jacket 2 to maintain a protective and insulating layer 16 of unfused material. The fused material is heated by passage through it of an alternating current, of density just sufficient to keep the material next to the electrodes 4 in a fused condition. The material to be fused is fed into the middle of the bath by a screw 10 ; as its resistance is greater than when fused, it causes an increase in the temperature of the part of the bath into which it is fed. The fused material flows over a spout at the side of the bath as fresh material is fed in. A resistance 14 is placed between the electrodes to start the fusion, and is afterwards removed.

Title: Improvements in Ticket Punching Apparatus
Inventor: PRESCOTT GEORGE
Filed: 1907-11-06
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 24,545. Prescott, G. Nov. 6. Ticket punches. - Relates to the following parts of a ticket punch : the bell - hammer lever and full - stroke device, which are formed in one piece the punching and feeler mechanism ; the guard's locking device ; and the shutter for the counter window. The punch is operated by the thumb-lever 8, Fig. 1, which raises the notched or toothed sliding bar 12 and rocks the lever 13, Fig. 2, the forked front end of which depresses the spring-controlled punch 1. Unless a ticket is inserted in the slot in the plate 6, the feeler 5 descends with the punch in the punching operation owing to the action of a spring 16 connected to the feeler lever 15, and the tail of this lever thereupon engages in a notch 17 in the sliding bar 12, thus preventing the further operation of the apparatus. In order that, during the punching action, the portion of the ticket immediately beneath the punch may support the feeler until the notch 17 has moved beyond the tail of the feeler lever, the edge of the punch at two opposite points is made slightly lower than the remaining portions of the edge. Tappets 32 on a spring- controlled tumbler, of which the arm 25 acts as a bell-hammer lever and carries the loosely-mounted hammer 27, operate in connexion with teeth on the bar 12 as the usual full-stroke device. A counter 22 is operated by a notch in the bar 12 through a radial arm 23. A guards' locking-pawl 37 may be moved by a protruding pin 39 into engagement with a notch 38 in the bar 12, in which position the pawl is locked by a spring catch 41 which rises and bears against a shoulder 42 on the underside of the pawl, thus preventing further operation of the apparatus. The pawl can only be released by first depressing the spring catch 41, which can be done by first unlocking the door of the chamber for the ticket punchings, and then inserting a suitable instrument through a hole in the inner wall 51 thereof. From this chamber also is operated the rod 65, Fig. 4, for releasing the spring catch 61 from engagement with the spring-controlled shutter 59 of the window 55 opposite the counter 22, thus allowing the numerals to be seen.
