Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 19,407. Sachs, E. Aug. 28. 1909, [Convention date]. Back-pedalling brake and free-wheel arrangements. - In a free-wheel and back-pedalling brake mechanism for velocipedes &c., wherein the guide-ring or cage of the driving-clutch e is used to apply the brake, the cage f is connected by a ratchet or other one-way clutch i to a sleeve g having cam - surfaces whereby rollers h are pressed outwards to expand an anchored brake sleeve q, s into contact with the hub. The rollers h are mounted in a cage or guide-ring n, and the relative motion between the sleeve g and the rollers, required in braking, may be ensured by friction in the gearing, or by a friction stop arrangement between the ring and the brake sleeve, or by securing the ring to the brake sleeve by a screw t. The sleeve q is prevented from rotation by a wedge connexion r with the cone p. The cage f may be prevented from moving axially by the engagement of the flange f<1> with stops on the driving-sleeve c, or upon the axle. The mechanism permits back-wheeling, the roller clutch e remaining inoperative.

Abstract: 27,821. Parkes, A. I., and Humpage, M. Nov. 30. Punching; metalsheet feeds.-An automatic feed is employed in machines for punching nail - holes 13 in metal bars for making boot and shoe tips and known as "pegged " bars," the depressions 22 having already been formed. The metal bar 12 moves between guides and is supported on a spring table made up of plates 8, 9 carried by spring cross-bars 6 and slightly raised above the bed 4, carrying the die 5, which co-operates with the punch 2. The work is fed forward intermittently by fingers 14, 15 attached respectively to spring-pressed links 16, 17 pivoted at 18 to an arm 18<a> on a rock-shaft 25. The rockshaft is operated through an adjustable connexion from the eccentric shaft which operates the punch. The front end of the work is guided by an inclined bar 30. A forked stripper 28 is mounted on the bed of the machine. A pressure plate 32 attached to a weighted arm 31 maintains the work in position during the backward stroke of the fingers. In a modification, the work may be fed intermittently by toothed wheels, the teeth of which engage the depressions on the bar.

Title: Improvements in connection with and relating to Trucks for Light Mountain Railways and the like.
Inventor: GRAMLING ALAJOS
IPC: B61D3/16
Filed: 1911-06-21
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 14,725. Gramling, A. June 21. Wagons for transporting and piling timber.-A truck for hauling timber on light mountain railways is provided with front and rear bogies a, b, which share the load when the truck is running down as shown in Fig. 1 ; but to reduce the power required for hauling up the empty truck, the bogie b can be transferred to the middle of the truck, when, owing to its being higher than the bogie a, it takes the whole weight. The bogie b is provided with a band-brake, and the bogie a with a trackbrake comprising shoes 6 to which the load can be transferred from the wheels 3. For this purpose, the shoes are mounted upon a member 5 having a vertical rod 5<1> which forms the king bolt of the bogie, and provided also with supports 8 having rollers 9 upon which the chassis 10 may rest. Rollers 11, mounted on crank arms 12 of a shaft 13 journaled in bearings on the bogie frame 2, are adapted to be raised into engagement with the chassis 10 to take the load off the shoes 6 and transfer it to the bogie-wheels 3 by means of the crank arm 14 and screw and nut 15,16. The bogie frame is provided with vertical guides 4 embracing the member 5. The bogie b comprises the large wheels 22 mounted in a frame 35, having a vertical pivot 27 and bearing-rollers 36. A second bearing- plate 29 is disposed at the middle of the truck, to which the bogie is transferred for the return journey. The frame 24 for the smaller guidewheels of the bogie b is hinged at 24<1> to the frame 35. It is maintained rigid when the bogie is in the end position, Fig. 1, by alining a pair of links 25, 26 extending between the two frames and connected by a stop hinge. When the bogie is in the central position, Fig. 10, the links take the position shown, to enable the front end of the truck to rise and lift the bogie a off the rails. A band-brake comprising a band 31 engaging a pulley 30 on the wheel axle 22 is provided on the bogie b for use on slight inclines. Operation is effected by hand-lever 19, cord 21, and a bell-crank, of which the arm 32 is disposed near the pivot 27 to prevent the turning of the bogie from affecting the brake.

Abstract: 17,817. Fowler, R. H., and Pepper, A. Aug. 4: Ploughs.-In a plough having pivoted and spring-controlled skifes, means are provided for allowing the frames carrying the skifes to rise automatically when the movement allowed bv the springs is not sufficient to clear an obstruction. Each skife f is pivotally mounted on a frame c which is hinged to a bracket d attached to the main frame a. The skife is normally held in position by a spring g which yields when the share h meets an obstruction A stop i limits the movement of the skife about its pivot; and a slot m in the lifting-lever l allows the frame e to rise. In order to allow of a further rise, the link k connecting 'the lever l to the skife f or frame e carries a stop n adapted to abut against a rod o and thus release the catch p of the lifting-lever. In a modification, the skife is connected to the frame e by two plate or helical springs. Two or more frames e may be connected together. The ploughs may be lifted by mechanism operated by the motor. The depth of work may be regulated by means of an adjustable wheel s, which may be provided with a circular coulter t.

Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 12,419. Hobbs, Hart, & Co., and Swann, F. W. B. May 25. Locks, preventing destruction of.-Relates to means for preventing the bolts of a safe or strong-room door from being operated after the locks have been destroyed by an explosion or by other violence. Behind the lock f is arranged a plate g, the lower part of which is securely attached to the front d of the door by strong screws e<5>, while the upper part is fitted with two studs e supporting the horizontal explosion-bar c. This bar is notched at its ends to engage corresponding notches b<1> in the vertical bolt-straps b. If an explosion destroys the lock, the plate g is forced backwards about the screws c<5>, whereby the explosionbar is moved into engagement with the bolt-straps b, and the balls h, which were recessed between the explosion-bar b and the front of the door d, drop down to prevent the bar from being drawn back. The studs e are so proportioned that, when they have brought the explosion-bar into locking engagement with the bolt-straps, the impact fractures them and relieves the bolt-straps from further strain. A thin vertical plate e<2> may be fitted in front of the explosion-bar, being broken when the bar begins to move. In a modification, horizontal sliding door bolts are locked on the occurrence of an explosion by a vertically-pivoted bar operated in a similar way by a plate behind the lock.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 24,037. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Oct. 21, 1911, [Convention date]. Fire, police, and like systems.-The separate call-box circuits II, III, IV are arranged to control the same central-station circuit I through relays 1, 2, 1<1>, 2<1>, 1<11>, 2<11>. When a break or ground occurs in one of the call-box circuits, the corresponding switch 10, 10<1>, 10<11> is moved to enable a signal to be received from that circuit and to retain the recording-circuit for the other stations. On receipt of a signal from a circuit II, the first movement of the armatures 31, 41 completes a circuit for the battery b over the armature 31, contact 6, switch 10, and indicator magnet 12. The indicator 13 drops and operates its contact springs, thus completing a circuit for the' receiving-instrument M over the lead 16, armature 3, contacts 17, lead 18, contact 15, relay 20, and battery B. The receiving-Instrument M1 is at the same time actuated by a circuit over the lead 21, the upper armature contacts of the relays 1', 2<1>, 1<11>, 2", and the armature 4. When a break occurs in a circuit as III, the release of the armatures 31<1>, 41<1> completes the circuit of the indicator magnet 12<1>, and the station attendant moves the switch 10<1> to the second position and replaces the indicator. The switch 10' and contact 14' now complete the circuit of the receivers M, M1 for calls from other circuits. In the case of a ground on a circuit as shown for circuit IV, the switch 10<11> is moved to the third position. Normally when one call is being received the instruments M, M, record together, but if two calls are being received at one time the impulses over the lead 19 energize the relay 20 and give warning to the attendant. Specification 22,410/08 is referred to.
