Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Stopping, or Gripping, Ropes, or Cables, and the like.
Inventor: BULLIVANT FREDERICK ARTHUR
IPC: F16G11/04
Filed: 1909-12-03
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 28,294. Bullivant, F. A., Selby, G. M., Young, P. W., and Stansfield, L. D. Dec. 2. Rope grips for stopping or holding cables &c. comprise a wedge, or pair of wedges, mounted in a casing and operated by rams or pistons. The cable is held between two wedges A, the rear faces of which are guided in an inclined direction by a casing D. Lugs a<3> on the backs of the wedges are connected to rods b<2> with pistons b mounted in cylinders B. The holder is controlled from a distance by admitting water or air under pressure above or below the pistons. In a modified form of cable stopper, one of the jaws A is held against longitudinal movement, and is pressed into engagemeut with the rope or withdrawn therefrom by a wedge seated behind the jaw and operated by a ram or piston.
Patent GB-190929237-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Burnishing Machines particularly for use in Boot and Shoe Manufacture.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D95/22
Filed: 1909-12-14
Granted: 1911-01-16
Abstract: 29,237. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 14. Burnishing by compression.-Relates to burnishing a n d like machines, and particularly to twin edge-setting machines, of the type in which separate vibratory tools are provided for operating respectively upon the forepart and shank of a shoe, and consists in the provision of means to cause the tools, when operative, to vibrate in different paths; it also consists in the provision of means automatically to move each tool into and out of operative position. The tools 84, 86 are removably carried in a holder, which is normally held by a spring 90 in a locking engagement with a jaw 88 on the lower end of a spring- pressed rocker-frame 68 located in a groove 66 in, and pivoted at 70 to, a main rock-shaft 34. The toolholder is furnished with a long stem 82, which passes through a sleeve 76 and is formed with a square upper end projecting through a similarly shaped hole in a head 78 integral with the sleeve 76. The end of the stem is recessed and engaged by a headed bolt 106, formed with a thread of long pitch to engage a similar thread in the walls of a block 102 mounted between forks in the end of an extension 100 of a lever 92, which forms the actuating-means for reversing the tools. This lever is furnished with an adjustable plate 94 located adjacent to the position occupied by the shoe being treated, and is yieldingly held in the position shown by a spring 98. When the tools are to be reversed, the operator presses the shoe against the plate 94, which, through the connexions described, swings the block 102 downwards. The first effect of this movement is to force the tool - holder downwards against the action of the spring 90 until it is out of engagement with the locking jaw 88, after which it is rotated by the action of the block 102 on the threaded bolt 106. To cause the tools to move in different paths, there is provided a pivoted cam-bar 114 having a forward inclined portion formed with a flat cam-face 118 and a curved cam-face 120. These cam-faces are adapted to co-operate respectively with a curved cam-face 128 on the rocker frame 68, and a flat cam-face forming part of the head 78 of the sleeve 76. In the position shown, the cam - face 120 is engaged by the head 78, and the shank tool 86, which is in operative position, is vibrated in a curved path. When the tools are reversed, a thin portion 129 of the head 78 permits the cam-faces 118, 128 to engage each other, with the result that the forepart tool is vibrated in a rectilinear path, the surface 128 being of such curvature that its axis passes through the burnishing-face of the tool. The pressure of the tools against the work is varied by an adjustable spring 122. Specification 29,944/10 is referred to.
Patent GB-190930484-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Side Delivering Raking and Tedding Machines.
Inventor: PHILLIPS ALBERT MORGAN
IPC: A01D78/00
Filed: 1909-12-30
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 30,484. Phillips, A. M. Dec. 30. Haymaking.-In a side-delivery raking and tedding machine comprising two disks or flyers connected by inclined rake-bars, means are provided for varying the inclination of the rakebars across the machine and for simultaneously inclining the teeth of the rake-bars backwards for tedding or forwards for raking when in their lowest positions. The. arms c of the front flyer are jointed to the boss b, and are linked to a collar o on a sleeve p, which can be rocked upon trunnion pins q to move the arms c. The rake-bars k are thus caused to occupy the position indicated by the line 3-4, or that indicated by the line 3-5, when in their lowest position. The connexion of the crank-pins h with the arms c and the bars k causes the rake teeth to be inclined backwards or forwards. The bars k pass through short tubes j jointed to pins i mounted in the rear flyer d, their movements in the tubes being limited by collars k<1>. The sleeve p is rocked by means of a sliding frame, a link t<1>, and a lever u. The sliding frame carries with it bevel-wheels v, w and a spur-wheel x, which is thus thrown in or out of gear with a pinion z or an internal wheel y on the axle. The travelling wheels are connected with the axle by ratchet-wheels and pawls, and the rake shaft is driven at high or low speed by the gearing described. The arms c may be moved by a cam; or the sleeve p may be moved backwards and forwards, or raised and lowered. The frame f carrying the rear part of the rake is adjustably supported by a castorwheel g, and the bar 6 supporting the front part of the rake is pivoted to the frame f at the point 7, and is adjustably connected with it at the point 8 by a screw. By these means, the two ends may be adjusted simultaneously or separately. Steel plates are connected to the rake-bars k to strengthen them and increase their depth.
