Abstract: 2773. Schmitt, E. D. Aug. 26, 1911. Capsules, applying.-In a jar-capping machine in which the jars are moved into capping position by a conveyer operated by ratchet mechanism, the ratchet mechanism is capable of adjustment in such manner as to shift the conveyer in relation to the sealing-heads so that, when it is desired to cap receptacles of a different diameter, such receptacles come centrally beneath the sealing-heads in the operation of the conveyer succeeding the new adjustment. The ratchet-wheel 21 is adjusted on a bushing keyed to the shaft 12 of the conveyer sprocket-wheels, and is fixed in adjusted position by means of a bolt 17, which is carried by an arm integral with the bushing and extends through a curved slot 19 in the web of the wheel. The wheel 21 is engaged by a stepping-pawl 23 held in contact with the wheel by a spring 25 and carried by an arm 26 loose on the shaft 12. A continuation of the arm 26 is connected by a connecting-rod 33 and crank 37 to the shaft 38 of one of the sealing-heads. The shaft 38 is geared to the main driving-shaft of the machine. The length of the connecting- rod and the position of the crank-pin 34 are adjustable, these adjustments being used as well as, or instead of, the adjustment by means of the bolt 17. Retrograde movement of the wheel 21 is prevented by a pawl 31 carried by an arm 29 loosely mounted on the shaft 12 and adjustably fixed by means of a bolt 28 in a slot 27 formed in a projecting part of one of the standards of the machine. This pawl is adjusted so as to engage the tooth immediately following that engaged by the stepping-pawl.

Title: Improved Device for Preventing Accidents in Coal and other Mines Due to Over-winding.
Inventor: WILSON WILLIAM
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1912-11-21
Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 1655. Wilson, W. Nov. 21, 1912. Overwinding, preventing.-An apparatus for preventing the overwinding of pit cages comprises a block 0 moved to and fro bv the winding - engine and a weighted roller S supported on the block and arranged to fall by gravity, in the event of overwinding, to apply the brake and to cut off steam. The ends of the block 0 are sloping, and carry pivoted sectors P, P<1> normally supported on catches V. When one of the catches V is released by engaging a standard W, the corresponding sector P falls unless an arm U, rigidly connected to the sector, is engaged and supported by a slide X. This slide is supported on a spring 9, and may be locked against vertical movement by a bolt Y. When a wind is started, with the parts in the position shown in Fig. 3, the block 0 moves to the left under the roller S, until the right-hand catch V is released by a standard similar to W. The roller S now runs down the inclined end of the block unless the engineman centres the reversing-lever. The centring of the reversing-lever causes the slide X to be locked, and prevents the arm U<1> and the sector P' from falling. When the cage reaches the level, the roller S is at the extreme end of the sector, so that further winding, or starting the engine in the wrong direction, causes the roller to fall over the edge and arrests the engine. A projection, on the side of the block engages a tappet connected to the throttle valve for the purpose of cutting off steam at the required moment. The block O is driven to and fro by a pinion engaging a rack, the pinion being driven through worm and spur gearing from the winding-drum shaft.
