Inventor: WILLIAMS WILLIS DAWSON
Filed: 1907-11-25
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 26,038. Williams, W. D. Nov. 25. Rail joints are supported on a base-plate having a brace bearing against the rail and fixed by a block having ribs to prevent movement; creeping of the rails is prevented by a key inserted in their ends, and creeping of the base-plate is prevented by downward flanges abutting against the sleepers, there being a little play between the rails and the fish-plate at its centre to allow a slight depression of the joint. The base-plate, 2 has depending flanges 3, a brace 5, and stops 13 to hold the block 17, which is locked by its ribs 18 around the stops 13. The brace and base-plate are slightly depressed towards their centre to provide spaces 10, 12 under the rail head and flange for the depression of the rail ends which exerts a wedge action on the block and serves to lock it in place. A key 20 is inserted in alining openings in the rail ends, brace, and base-plate, and is held by a wedge 22, to prevent creeping of the rails. The brace, stops, and block are recessed as at 7, 15, and 19 to reduce weight.

Abstract: 9450. Seybold, C. May 1. Cutting - machines for paper &c.-Relates to frictionally - o p e r a t e d clamping - apparatus, especially applicable to guillotine machines of large width. The clamp bar 32 is supported by links 33 reciprocated by the engagement of racks 35 with segment gears 37 on shafts 39, which are rocked from a bar frictionally engaged by a covering-frame, which surrounds a portion of its length and is reciprocated horizontally from a cranked gear-wheel 15, suitably driven from a shaft 5. The shaft 5 is coupled to the driving-pulley 6 by a friction clutch 7, actuated by a pivoted lever 8. This lever is linked to a similar lever 59 by a rod 58, which may be rocked by a handle 68 to free, through mechanism shown in Fig. 2, a roller 66 from engagement with a locking- hook 67 carried by a cam-plate 22. This plate is provided with oblique slots 20 with which engage cranks 18 of rollers 16 driven from the shaft 13, and the resultant reciprocation of this cam-plate is imparted to the knife-bar 25 by connecting-rods 24. The release of the handle 68 allows the roller 66 to be returned by springs &c. to its normal position, where it is re-engaged by the hook 67 on the rising cam-plate 22 and deflected so as to uncouple the driving-clutch 7. A back-gauge 74, Fig. 2, adjusted by a hand-wheel 71 and belt 72, is attached by an arm 77 to an endless measuring- tape 78.
