Title: Improvements in Stapling Pliers.
Inventor: VOGEL MAX
IPC: B25C5/02
Filed: 1912-02-01
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 2675. Vogel, M. Nov. 24, 1911, [Convention date]. Stapling, hand-tools for.-A pair of stapling- pliers has the lower jaw c carrying the anvil held apart from the staple-receptacle by a weak spring k connected to the leg of the upper jaw h, which is itself held from the receptacle by a strong spring i between the driver d and the end of the jaw. On closing the pliers, the jaw c is first brought up against the receptacle, and the jaw h is then moved to depress the driver, the spring i being compressed. The driver forces a staple, fed into the driver channel by an ordinary feeding-device b, into the work and clenches it on the anvil. To prevent a second staple from being fed if the first has not been fully driven, a recess p<1> is formed in the pin carrying the spring i, in which the driver d engages on release of the pliers, unless the driver has been forced downwards to its greatest extent and thus the spring i subjected to considerable compression. In a modification, a slotted arm m, pivoted to the guide o for the driver, is pressed downwards against a pin s mounted on the jaw h. A slotted casing n slides on the arm, and each slot is provided with a notch in its upper side. If the pliers are closed to depress the hammer fully, the casing n is moved downwards by the pin, and the notches are moved out of alinement; the pliers on release then open fully. If the hammer is not sufficiently depressed, the casing n is not moved, and the pin s slips into the notches in the slots when the pliers open, thus preventing the driver from clearing the staple passage.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Slack Adjusters for Brake Rigging.
Inventor: ANDERSON CHARLES OSCAR
IPC: B61H15/00
Filed: 1912-06-18
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 14,195. Anderson, C. O. Sept. 5, 1911, [Convention date]. Compensating for wear. - Means for automatically taking up the slack in the brake rigging of railway vehicles comprises a brakerod connecting together a pair of equalizing- levers and composed of two relatively-rotatable threaded parts, one of which, when slack occurs, is automatically rotated through a friction clutch by the adjoining equalizing-lever as the parts move back to the released position, the clutch being arranged to slip upon the rotating member during the application of the brakes. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a brake-rod 8 is screw-threaded at one end into a socket 7 connected to an equalizing-lever 4, and is connected at the other end by a set-screw 10 and groove to a socket 9 attached to the opposite equalizing-lever 3. A conical clutch collar 11 fixed to the rod 8 is engaged by a clutch sleeve 12, which is pressed into engagement by a spring 15, and is provided with a pair of inclined lugs 17, 20 arranged at opposite sides of the lever 3 as shown in Fig. 2, the incline 20 being adjustable. When slack occurs, the movement of the lever 3 during the operation of the brakes is sufficient to bring it into engagement with these inclines, thus rotating the sleeve 12. During the application of the brakes, the lever 3 engages the incline 17, but the friction between the screw-threaded parts 7, 8 is greater than that between the clutch elements 11, 12 owing to the thrust on the rod 8, so that the clutch sleeve 12 slips upon the collar 11 without rotating it. During the release, however, in which the sleeve 12 is rotated by engagement of the lever 3 with the incline 20, the thrust on the rod 8 decreases and the friction between the clutch elements 11, 12 increases, so that the clutch operates to rotate the rod 8 and take up the slack. In a modification, Fig. 3, the clutch collar 11<1> is screw-threaded on to the rod 8', and the sleeve 12<1> is formed with lugs 17<1>, 19<1> engaging one arm of a bell-crank 22, the other arm of which is forked and engages a pin 24 on the lever 4, the width of the fork being adjustable in order to vary the extent to which the lever 4 may move without operating the bell-crank.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Rock Drills.
Inventor: GILMAN GEORGE HENRY
IPC: E21B21/00
Filed: 1912-08-26
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 19,508. Gilman, G. H. Aug. 26. Percussive drills.-In a percussive rock drill in which water or the like is fed to the hollow drill bit through a tube 25 passing through the cylinder 2 and piston 1, the inner end of the tube co-operates with the reciprocating piston 1 to act as a valve for intermittently opening the passage 11 in the drill bit to live or exhaust pressure fluid from the drill cylinder 2. The water is thus intermittently ejected from the drill in the form of spray. The passage 26 through the piston rod 6 is counter-bored for some distance to form a recess 33, and the outer end of the tube 25 is adjustably held by a rubber washer 27 and gland 30, the part of the stroke at which the inner end of the tube is uncovered by the bottom of the recess 33 thus being capable of regulation so that either live or exhaust pressure fluid from the back of the piston may be admitted to the passage 26. The pressure fluid reaches the passage 26 through the grooves in the rifle bar 21 and the recess 33. The tube 25 may be advanced so that its inner end is never uncovered by the recess 33, and only water or the like is fed through the drill; or the water supply to the tube may be cut off, and pressure fluid only ejected through the drill bit, water being introduced independently into the hole. A perforated packing-ring 34 may be provided, to prevent escape of water, in the chuck 8, in which the drill is held by a clamp 8<Î>.
