Title: Improvements in Grabs especially suitable for Lifting Projectiles.
IPC: B66C1/42
Filed: 1911-12-08
Granted: 1912-12-09
Abstract: 27,613. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., Lloyd, E. W., and Davis, L. B. Dec. 8. [Cognate Application, 6591/12.] Loading-appliances. - Relates to projectilelifting grabs of the kind comprising a fixed jaw carrying a pin upon which is mounted a movable jaw which is prolonged beyond its pivot-pin to form a lever connected by a link to an arm pivoted to the fixed jaw, the grab being suspended from the points of connexion of the link and the arm. According to the invention, (1) either the pivot-pin of the movable jaw can move in a slot in the fixed jaw, or a pin on the prolongation of the movable jaw can move in a slot in the link; and (2) the movable jaw is locked in the gripping position by a cam device so that the projectile shall not be released when the lifting force is removed. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the fixed jaw b is integral with an arch a, which is provided with a slot c in which the pivot-pin d of the movable jaw e is adapted to slide. The upper end of the jaw e is pivoted to links f, one on each side of the arch, turning on a pin g, which can move in a slot s in the arch a, and is carried by arms h, pivoted at i to the arch. A rope shackle t serves to support the pin g. A catch p turns on the pin i, and is adapted to engage a shoulder v on one of the links f to maintain the pin d at the top of the slot c when the grab is being lowered upon the projectile. On releasing this catch, the jaw e drops into operative position, and when the lifting force is applied, the pin g moves upwards in its slot, causing the toggle links h, f to press the jaw e into contact with the projectile. Cams m carried loosely on each end of the pin g, and bearing on a fixed surface n, are caused by the weighted hand-lever l to rotate as the pin g is raised, and so lock the jaw e in its gripping position. Hardened teeth u may be provided on the jaws. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the pin d turns in a bearing in the arch a, and the pin D is movable in slots C in the links f. In the gripping position, the pin D is retained in the upturned end of the slot C by a latch x, held in position by a trigger y. When this trigger is released, and the latch is raised by its handle X, the pin D may be moved into the horizontal part of the slot, thereby swinging the jaw away from its gripping position. The cams m are pivoted on a separate pin G, and bear on the underside of the links h. A projection E may be provided on the jaw e in order to rotate the jaw into operative position when it comes into contact with the projectile.

Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 3362. Adams Pressure Tool Co., F. E., and Adams, F. E. Feb. 10. Seaming.-The assembled parts of a circular or non-circular can are placed between rotating chucks, one of which can be moved axially to clamp them and both ends seamed on simultaneously. Each chuck 1 has associated with it a seaming-roller 7 on a lever 6 and a bowl 4 on a lever 5 pivoted at 8, the bowl bearing on a cam 2 on the chuck spindle a.nd transmitting its movement to the roller 7 through the link 56. The roller 7 is advanced to the work by means of a cam 11, Fig. 3, formed in two parts relatively adjustable, which, acting through the link 51, moves the pivot 8, which is carried by the lever 9 pivoted at 10, away from the lever 6. During the two periods that the roller 7 is retired from the work it is moved axially, to bring roughing and finishing tool grooves into action, by means of a cam 34 levers 38, 39, and spindle 12. The left hand chuck 1, Fig. 1, together with its levers &c., is carried, as described in Specification 18,158/13, by a plate 35, Fig. 3, mounted on balls 62, which can be moved by a treadle 17, link 40, levers 55, 57, and spring 58 to clamp the work. As described in Specification 4524/14, this movement of the treadle from the position shown in broken lines in Fig. 2 also starts the operation of the machine by means of a projection 33 which lifts a rod 18 thereby disconnecting its projection 20 from the lever 19 and allowing it to move to the left under the action of a weight 27 to press the jockey pulley 24 against the belt 25 and withdraw the brake 31 from the wheel 30 which thus rotates the shafts 14, 3, and 37, the last at a reduced speed. The cam 26 in its rotation allows the lever 19 to move under the action of a spring into the position shown in full lines and then returns it to its normal position, carrying with it the rod 18 by means of its projection 20 and thus stopping the machine. If it is desired to start the machine automatically, the constantly rotating shaft 13 is caused to drive the shaft 49 so that a cam 48 acts on a lever 63 which engages a projection on the rod 32 and raises it. The rod 32 is released from the lever 63, so as to allow the stop motion to act, by a tappet 52.

Abstract: 11,537. Thompson, W. P., [Ateliers de Constructions Electriques de Charleroi]. May 15. Signals and points, interlocking ; electro-magnetic interlocking-apparatus of general application.-In a point or signal controlling-device, a heavy-current electro-magnet is provided to switch over the working conductor, on the cessation of the motor movement, to act as return conductor for the control circuit. Fig. 1 shows the connexions in the normal position, in which the point switches 11, 12 are connected to the control wire 3 which connects with a control battery and a control electro-magnet 5. A second electro-magnet 6 in circuit with the motor battery has an armature carrying a triple switch 7. The motor windings are connected through the switches 9, 10 with leads 1, 2 which pass to the battery through the lever switches 4 and the switch 7. When the hand-lever is moved, a roller g, Fig. 7, carried by its spindle l, raises a pawl c' which lifts the armature a of the magnet 6 until the armature passes into and is locked by the notch m. In this position the top contacts, which are resilient are closed while the lower ones are open, thus breaking the control circuit. On completion of the lever movement, the motor circuit is completed at the switch 4 and the armature 6 lifts its armature to close the three contacts, the pawl c<1> being simultaneously released. The motor first reverses the switches 9, 11, and at the completion of the movement reverses the switches 10, 12 to cut itself out, this movement also breaking the circuit of the magnet 6. The armature switches 7 then fall to complete the earthed breaking circuit of the motor, and the control circuit through the magnet 5, Fig. 6. The reverse operation is similar. The armatures of magnets 5, 6 are connected so that the former must remain lowered while the latter is attracted ; and the armature a may be provided with a position indicator which will show whether the motor has operated.
