Granted: 1904-01-07
Abstract: 24,823. Belanger, V. Nov. 14. Spindle apparatus. - Relates to means for driving at different speeds the spindles 13, Fig. 3, and rings 18, of ring and traveller frames. A wheel is driven by the strap 29, and by means of feathers thereon and on the wheel 16 the grooved shaft 25 and wheel 16 are driven. The vertical reciprocation of the shaft 25 thus does not interfere with the driving of the spindles 13 by the frictional gearing of the wheels 15, 16. A bevel wheel 23 on the shaft 25, which is carried in adjustable top bearings, drives the flanged ring 18, which also rests on a portion of the removable inclined grooved ring 20, supported by a recess on the ring rail 10. The top bearings are socketed to the ring rail which thus reciprocates with the shaft 25. The speed of the spindles and rings may be varied by altering the size of the strap-driven wheel. The wheels 16 may drive two spindle shafts. The spindles 13 and shaft 25 may both be driven from a separate shaft.

Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 10,493. Lake, H. H., [Submarine Signal Co.]. May 6. Signals, marine and ship.-Transmitting-apparatus for audible signals consists of a submerged bell suspended by ropes or chains from a ship, boat, or buoy and provided with ringing-mechanism such that movements of the ropes produced manually or by the rocking of the floating body actuates the clapper. Fig. 2 shows the bell A hanging from the boat B by cords C, C' attached on opposite sides, but in other cases the points of attachment may be fore and aft on the same side. The hammer E, Fig. 3, which strikes the bell upon an internal ring D, is slotted at s to receive a pin p fixed to a frame supporting the dome by means of flanges and passing through the neck, where it holds a pivot a for the shackle to which the rope C is made fast. Other pins p<1>, p<2> on the hammer have secured to them the ends of two parallel springs F, of which the rear one only is shown, the other ends being attached to pins p<3>, p<4> on the bent lever G, pivoted to the frame at p<5>. The second rope C<1> passes round the multiplying-pulleys I, J before attachment to the frame at c, the upper pulley being fixed to the frame and the lower one to an arm H, loose on the lever G. Normally, when the weight of the apparatus is mainly borne by the rope C, the tension of the springs keeps the hammer in the position shown in dotted lines, the end thereof being against the stop N, and the pin p at the lower end of the slot s, and, if the rope C' be now pulled, the pulleys approach, the lever G is drawn up, the springs are extended and the latch L on the lever presses against the camsurface T of the hammer, thereby still further extending the springs and removing the hammer from the striking-point, but, when the latch passes the highest point, the hammer flies back, and the momentum causes it to strike, the slot s permitting the necessary motion relative to the pin p. The latch is loosely pivoted and is controlled by the weight of its outer end and the two stops g<2>, g<3>, Fig. 6, upon the lever.
