Title: Improvements in connection with Drop Boxes of Looms for Weaving.
Filed: 1904-05-20
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 11,597. Hodgson, G. H., Hodgson, M. E., and Hodgson, Ltd., G. May 20. Loom change-box motions.-Relates to the star or nogging wheel drop-box mechanism illustrated, as stated in the Provisional Specification, in Fig. 4 of the drawings to Specification No. 1692, A.D. 1894. A crank 3, Fig. 3, is eccentrically and freely mounted on a disc 1, Figs. 1 and 3, attached to or forming part of the ordinary back star-wheel. The apparatus is made applicable to six drop-boxes, four of them being controlled by ordinary mechanism. If it is required to raise or lower the other two cells, an additional star or nogging wheel 7, carrying a slotted arm in which works a bowl 5 on the crank 3, receives a half-revolution ; the crank 3 is thus rotated from its top to its bottom position, and, by its connection with the rod 12 and box lever, raises or lowers the shuttle box two cells. To raise or lower the shuttle box one cell, the crank-arm is rotated as before, but the crank-stud 4 is moved above or below the centre of the crankdisc by means of the star-wheel 1, which is given a half-revolution by means of the pattern mechanism, the result of these two motions being to cause the drop-box to rise or fall one cell. The wheel 8 is controlled in the usual manner by the clutch and clutch fork 9 on the cross-shaft 10 operated by the pattern mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Shrinking Tyres onto Vehicle Wheels.
Inventor: HOUSE SAMUEL NELSON
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 29,525. House, S. N. Dec. 31. Forging.-Relates to machines for shrinking tyres on to vehicle wheels without the application of heat. A fixed block C and a reciprocating block D sliding in guides are carried by side frames B secured to a base A. The upper surfaces of the blocks are formed with converging ribs E against which bear wedges F having serrated edges to grip the tyre. A plate J bridges over the space between the blocks C, D, which are toothed to engage with each other and are formed with ribs i to retain the plate J and also plates I placed under the wedges. To enable the wedges to grip tyres of various widths and diameters, packing-strips and wedges H are used. The felloe is held in place by a shoe K formed on a transverse lever L connected to a vertically-guided rod N which is pivoted to a foot or hand lever P controlled by a strut R engaging with a rack r. The mechanism for reciprocating the block D and thus reducing the diameter of the tyre by compressing the portion between the blocks consists of a pivoted lever S, the inner end of which engages with a recess d<1>, Fig. 4, in the block D, while its outer end is formed with a toothed segment s, Fig. 6, gearing with a pinion which is operated by a pawl-andratchet device. The blocks are forced apart by a spring w interposed between lugs thereon.

Title: Improvements in Locks and Switches for Gates of Electrically Controlled Lifts.
Inventor: MAJOR CHARLES GEORGE
Filed: 1905-02-10
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 2766. Major, C. G., Stevens, E. C., and Stevens, P. H. Feb. 10. Lifts.-Relates to the conjoint operation of the locks and switches for the gates of electricallycontrolled lifts, whereby it is ensured that the control circuit is opened before the gate is unlocked and vice versa. To the frame of the sliding gate A is fixed a casing B containing a switch with brush contacts C carried on an insulated verticallysliding shuttle D, which has a pocket or recess facing toward the gate and coinciding, when the shuttle is in its lowest position, with an opening E in the box B. The box B also contains a trigger or pawl F, which is pivoted at H and is operated from the cage through a wedge J and roller I against the action of a compressed spring G. The trigger F in its normally forward position engages with the sliding shuttle D and holds it wherever it may happen to be. When the cage arrives in position at a landing, the wedge J withdraws the trigger F from the shuttle D. On the handle M being raised, the shuttle D moves downwards with the hook L, and the control circuit is first broken. Further movement of the handle unlocks the door and allows the gate to be opened. The operations take place in reverse order when starting the lift ; namely, the door is first closed and locked by the hook L, and subsequently the control circuit is closed by further motion of the shuttle D.
