Abstract: 825,444. Ventilating mines, tunnels &c. MINISTER OF POWER. April 30, 1956 [April 29, 1955], No. 12431/55. Class 137 [Also in Group XXI] A method of purging or replacing an atmosphere in an enclosed space, such as a tunnel or underground mine roadway, comprises generating a body of foam composed of bubbles which enclose the replacement atmosphere, across substantially the whole cross sectional area of the space, and causing it to effuse into the space whereby the atmosphere therein is progressively replaced by the growing body of foam so that upon collapse of the foam the space is left filled with the replacement atmosphere. In the exemplified embodiment water supplied from a main 4 mixed with wetting and foam stabilizing agents induced from a container 5 are sprayed on to an inclined mesh screen 2 of netted natural fibre yarn erected on a frame 3 across a section of a mine roadway. The normal ventilating current flowing in the direction indicated by the arrow A continuously converts the film of liquid mixture formed on the screen 2 into bubbles which coalesce into a foam 9 which effuses along the roadway under the influence of the ventilating current. The apparatus may be incorporated in a mobile unit which may be self propelled. The air current may be produced by a blower which may be driven by a power unit which serves also to drive the spraying device and as a prime mover for the mobile unit. The invention is also applicable to a method of combating a fire in an enclosed space (see Group XXI).

Abstract: 1379173 Endless conveyers MITSUBISHI JUKOGYO KK 16 March 1972 [18 March 1971] 12435/72 Heading B8A Apparatus for raising or lowering loads such as freight comprises two platforms 200 each connected by two pairs of ball joints 17, 18 to endless chains 1, 2 : 3, 4. The platforms are formed of slats 21<SP>1</SP> which, when a load 36 is to be supported and transferred between two levels, are maintained as a rigid horizontal platform but when the platforms are unloaded are able to follow convex or concave paths. The extent to which loads may be raised or lowered is adjustable by an upper framework B telescoping within a base frame work A, a chain take-up device 300 being actuated by a motor 33. The means for maintaining the platform rigid when moving in a direction E from the lower to the upper position comprises keep members 44 which are caused to engage in chain link plates 43 by fixed guides 35. As the platform begins to engage guide rollers 22 at the end of its upper horizontal run, the keep members 44 are disengaged from the plates 43 by springs (51), Fig. 4c (not shown), and the slats 21<SP>1</SP> of the platforms are able to follow a curved path on their return to a load-carrying position. When the platforms are moved in the direction opposite to E, guides 34 at the upper level of the apparatus cause the actuation of the members 44 and the platforms are maintained rigid. The apparatus is fed and discharged by conveyers 37, 38.

On hauling in rope 8, which passes by pulleys 12, 15, 16 to pulley 9, staith 1 rocks to move the scoop 7 vertically downwards, and quadrant arm 17 is then rocked to act through link 4 to move the scoop through its loading stroke to the position of Fig. 2, the first part of the stroke being approximately horizontal; through the eccentricity of pulley 9, the scoop is then raised at higher speed to dumping position, Fig. 3, a stop 26 on pulley 9 striking link 32 to assist dumping. The return stroke is effected by hauling in rope 20 which initially engages pulley 29 and passes by pulleys 22, 23, 24, to pulley 9, the tension holding the staith upwardly, whereby the scoop returns clear of the work; during the return, quadrant arm 17 is first rocked and acts through beak 25 engaging link 4 to effect the initial part of the return stroke of the scoop. Cam 14 may be controlled by quadrant arm 17 to obtain a desired path for the scoop at the beginning of the loading stroke.

Abstract: 121,707. Freeman, J. Aug. 1, 1918 Breasting.-Heel-breasting and other cutting machines are provided with improved one-revolution driving mechanism, and the work is clamped on an adjustable pivoted table against an adjustable gauge that is automatically withdrawn from and returned to the path of the cutter during and by the latter's respective descent and ascent. The cutter is actuated from a shaft 1 driven for a single revolution through gearing 2, 3 from a belt pulley 5 by the longitudinal displacement of a rod 18 acting on a pivoted lever 21 which deflects a pivoted stop 13 from 'beneath a cam'12, thereby enabling a spring-actuated wedge 14 to displace its complementary wedge 16 to secure frictional drive of the clutch members 5, 6. The movement of the wedge 14 and its appurtenances. immediately disengage the lever 21 from the stop 13, which resumes its vertical position under the action of a spring 28, and is depressed by the cam 12 to allow the member 5 to be declutched from the member 6 by a spring 17 to stop the shaft 1 after one revolution thereof. The disengagement of the lever 21 serves to prevent a second actuation of the machine, even through the starting rod 18 be held from return to its normal position. The work is supported on a table 29 pivoted to supports 30 and adjusted by screws 31. A resiliently adjustable edge gauge 40 is carried by a spring-controlled lever 42 pivoted at 43, its upwardly curved portion being adapted to bear on the cutter slide 11, so that the ascent of the latter serves to swing the gauge into its operative position, and the descent to allow the spring 45, acting on the lever 42, to withdraw the gauge from the path of the cutter. The cutter is mounted for vertical adjustment in its slide 11, and the work is clamped by a foot-actuated resilient clamp 33.
