Title: Improved Means for Locking or Braking the Wheels of Pit Trams and other Wagons.
Inventor: TRUEMAN EDWIN
Filed: 1906-08-29
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 19,279. Trueman, E., Adams, S., and Woodhouse, E. J. Aug. 29. Brakes.-The wheels of pit trams, corves, trollies &c. are automatically locked when the pull on the haulage rope is relaxed. When the vehicle is being hauled in the direction of the arrow, the rope is connected to the lower sliding plank f at f and when the pull is relaxed, the wall e' of a slot in the plank is drawn, by a spring, into engagement with a toothed wheel d at the centre of the axle b of the rear running wheels. The upper plank f takes the pull when the wagon is being hauled in the opposite direction, and is adapted to lock the other pair of wheels. The plank which is not in use is held out of engagement with its ratchet-wheel by a pin f and both axles b can be locked, when the vehicle is at rest, by removing the pins P of both planks.

Inventor: HARE ROBERT DALE
Filed: 1906-10-23
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 23,458. Hare, R. D. Oct. 23. Seats; passengers, for conveying; luggage-carriers; motor-cycles.-A seat for carrying a second person upon a motor or other cycle, mounted upon a pair of stays b or the ordinary luggage-carrier frame, is arranged upon a turntable g, h or like device, so that the person may face to the rear, or to one or the other side, or slightly towards the front. As shown in Fig. 1, the stays b, supported at the rear ends from the luggage or mud-guard carrier d, are outwardly bent in semicircular portions, or provided with a circular or a square plate to carry the seatings e of springs f which support the turntable. The stays b may be dispensed with, the seat being then mounted upon the carrier d ; or, when no carrier is provided, the seat may be supported on stays arranged in similar manner to the carrier d. The springs may be disposed between the turntable and the seat, or a pneumatic cushion may be used. The seat may also be arranged to be locked against turning, when adjusted, by means of a spring catch or bolt ; or the turntable may be replaced by two parts with inter-engaging radial tongues and grooves so that, when desired, the seat may be lifted up and reset in a new position. The sides of the seat binge about pins at the rear, so that by means of a screw-and-nut arrangement connecting the front ends, the distance between the sides may be adjusted. A footboard z, carried by suspension pieces 1 from the stays x and bars w, is arranged to extend more or less on the two sides and round the rear of the wheel. A net or cover attached by a hook-and-eye connexion with the seat-supporting stays is arranged over the wheel to keep the dress or feet of the passenger from the moving parts. By loosening the bolts j, the seat i, plates g, h, and the springs f may be removed, and the remaining parts used as a luggage-carrier. According to the Provisional Specification, the seat, with or without springs and with only a vertical adjustment, may be attached to the cross-bars of a frame similar to an ordinary rest or carrier frame.

The invention is stated to be applicable to similarly-operating tools for digging post - holes and for other purposes. The blade A, Fig. 1, is removable and is made of the shape shown, with a straight cutting-edge a, thickened shoulders a<3>, and a riveted or integral strengthening-piece A' ending in notched jaws A<2>. The handle B terminates in a socket-piece B' provided with a tongue or plate pivoted between the jaws A<2>. A spring-pressed locking-piece lies in a recess in the socket B', and is provided with a finger-hole C<0> and with lugs C<2> to engage with slots A<3>, A<4>, A<5> in the jaws A<2>. The bases of the notches A<4>, A<5> are laterally inclined to eject dirt, and the notches A' are provided with shearing edges to co-act with a slot in the pivot plate to cut wire. The pivot pin D is removable, and is slotted to engage a spring stop E, by which it may be locked in the position shown or in a position which allows of the blade and handle being disconnected. The pivot pin may be permanently fixed in the jaws A<2>. The blade may be folded down, and may be slipped into a bag to support the tool at a soldier's side. When the tool is used as a spade, shoulders a<6> on the jaws A' engage with shoulders b<6> on the socket B<1>.

Abstract: 18,954. Watts, W. Sept. 19, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Mail-bag catchers.-The hook on a track standard that engages with and removes mail-bags from a moving train, is carried by arms secured to antifriction bearings on the track post, so that, when a bag is caught, it will cause the arms to spin around the post until gradually brought to rest. In Fig. 1, the hook-supporting arms E, F are secured at one end to each other and at the other end to the bearings C. The bearings each comprise a bearing-ring B, Fig. 3, fixed to the post A and surrounded by rings bolted together at c so as to form a channel D'. Rollers D are arranged between the rings B, C to form an antifriction bearing. To hold the arms in operative position, a sliding toothed catch f is arranged to engage in a bevelled notch b<1> in the ring B in one of the bearings C, in which notch it is held by a spring f<1>. The force of the blow, when a bag is caught, forces the catch f out of the hole b<1>, and the spring f <1> engages with another tooth in the catch and so holds it out of engagement with the ring B. The catcher hook G is held in blocks h and is locked in position by a sliding notched plate H which enables the hook to be withdrawn and reversed so as to receive bags from trains travelling in an opposite direction.
