Title: Improvements in or connected with Lift-gates.
Inventor: CLARK ALBERT EDWARD
IPC: B66B13/06
Filed: 1909-01-08
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 542. Clark, A. E. Jan. 8. Lift doors, locking and unlocking and operating.- Relates to the construction of a lift gate and to means for operating the gate from the lift cage The gate consists of laths which are connected by links or chains and move in guides or slots k. Stops m prevent the uppermost lath from descending too far. The laths are raised by means of a flexible connection e, which is attached to an endless band a operated by the cage. The bottom lath is provided with runners o, each of which carries a lever p, Fig. 6. The levers p, to which the connexion e is attached, project through slots q in the runners o so as to engage the sides of the lift well and to prevent the gate from being raised except by means of the connexion e. The band a, which pas-es over upper and lower pulleys b, carries stops c, c<1> which are adapted to be engaged by cage stops d, d'. As the lift ascends, the stop d<1> engages the stop c' and moves the belt to raise the gate into its housing n. As the stop c<1> moves over the upper puiley out of engagement wirh the stop d<1>, the other stop c passes under the lower pulley so that the cage stop d may pass upwards without engaging the stop c. When the stop d' is released, the weight of the gate causes the motioh of the belt to be reversed and the stop c to engage with the underside of the cage stop d so that the gate descends slowly as the cage ascends. In the downward movement of the cage, the action is reversed. Both stops d, d<1> may be put out of action when the cage passes a floor without stopping by means of the connexion h.

Patent GB-190905883-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Self Winding Electric Clocks.
Inventor: KIRCHHOFER FRITZ
IPC: G04C1/06
Filed: 1909-03-11
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 5883. Kirchhofer, F. March 11. Striking-mechanism.-The striking is effected by means of an electromotor, which simultaneously winds the mainspring of the timetrain. Shortly before the hour, a pin 51 on the minute - arbor turns a pivoted piece 50, which raises the lever 26 and thereby lifts the rack - hook 28 out of engagement with the rack. As this falls until its arm 31 feels the snail 44, a long pin 32 carried by the arm 31 is raised, permitting the contactspring 33 to bear against a fixed pin 36. When the pin 51 allows the lever 26 to drop precisely at the hour, a rod 34 turns with the lever and permits a second contact-spring 35 to touch the pin 36, and the circuit is then closed. At the half-hours, the hammer is actuated only once, and for this purpose a short pin 52 is provided on the minute-arbor, by which the rack-hook is raised sufficiently to allow only the bottom tooth of the rack, which is smaller than the other teeth, to pass it. Winding-apparatus, electric. - As the motor runs, it winds up the mainspring through the train of wheels 3 ... 23, 24, shown in Fig. 3, and at 'the same time, a pin-wheel on the same arbor as the wheel 23 actuates the striking-hammer 22. The number of strokes is regulated by the action of the gathering-pin 42 carried by a disk 39 on an arbor rotated by the motor. At each revolution of the disk, the rack is lifted one tooth until it reaches its original position, whereupon the pin 32 breaks the circuit. The motor does not stop immediately, owing to its momentum, but it has no further effect on the clock - work, since the above-mentioned train of wheels, which is connected to the motor by a friction-coupling, is held by a projection 10 on an arm conected to the rack-hook 28, when the hook passes under the bottom of the rack.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Siphonic Flushing Tanks.
IPC: E03D1/16
Filed: 1909-03-30
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 7640. North British Plumbing Co., and Moncrieff, W. D. Scott-. March 30. Siphon-discharge water-waste preventers, automatic.-When the water-level reaches the float b, the float tends to rise but is prevented by a togglejointed lever k pivoted to a bracket n. When, however, the water reaches a second float d, pivoted also to the bracket n, the float rises and brings a finger p on the lever into contact with the lever j, deffecting the two parts from the straight and so allowing the float b to rise and raise the siphon bell g<1>, to which it is connected, thereby starting the siphon. Alternatively, the lever j may be actuated electro-magnetically, the circuit being completed by means of the float b, or by hand.

Patent GB-190914006-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Barrel Recoil Guns.
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1909-06-15
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 14,006. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Oct. 17, 1908, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to semiautomatic guns. According to the invention, two separately acting spring accumulators, which effect the opening and closing of the breech, are both tensioned during the recoil by an inertia device, mounted upon the gun-barrel. The breech-block C, Figs. 1 and 3, is raised and lowered by cranks D mounted upon a hollow transverse shaft E provided at one end with a flange e<2> and handle e<1>. A spindle O passes through the shaft E, and carries at its extremities the drums J, N of the breech closing and opening springs L, P. The spring L is connected at its ends to the drum J and shaft E, and the ends of the spring P are connected to the drum N and to the boss q<1> of a disk Q fixed to the gunbarrel A. Both springs tend to rotate the drums in the same direction-i.e. in the reverse direction to the arrow x, Fig. 1; but in the breech-closed position, shown in Fig. 1, this rotation is prevented by a stop a<2> on the gun which is engaged by a projection n<1> on the drum N. The flange e' of the shaft E is formed with a notch e<3>, shown in sectional plan in Fig. 6, which, when the breech is closed, is opposite the end of the arm G of a lever G, G<1> pivoted to the gun-breech and pressed outwards by a spring g<3>. In the firing position, the lever-arm G<1> is engaged by a stop-bar b<1> on the gun and engagement with the notch e<3> is prevented. The drum J is formed with a weight i<3>, and has a notch i<1> which, when the drum J is rotated, is engaged by a spring bolt H mounted in the handle e<1>. When the gun recoils, the weight i' by its inertia rotates the drum J, and hence the drum N, into the position shown in Fig. 6, and tensions the springs L, P. The drums are retained in this position by the bolt H entering the notch i<1>. At the same time, the lever G, G<1> moves away from the stop b<1> and the end G enters the notch e<3> and locks the shaft E. At the end of the counterrecoil, the lever G, G<1> again engages the stop b<1> and releases the shaft E, which, however, remains locked by the bolt H to the drums J, N. The breech-opening spring P, now being free, rotates the drum N, shaft O, drum J, and shaft E, and thereby opens the breech, and the breech-block is held in its depressed position by hooks m<3> on the extractor arms M which enter notches c' in the block. At the end of the opening movement, a lug h<2> on the bolt H engages with an incline a3 on the gun and withdraws the bolt, so that, when the hooks m<3> are disengaged by the insertion of a fresh cartridge into the gun, the closing-spring L is free to re-act and rotate the shaft E to close the breech.

Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 782. Caselton, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Jan. 11. Lasting.-The work-rest of a single-pincer lasting-machine, such as that of the type described in Specification 11,131/03, is constructed to adjust itself automatically to the surface of the insole. It comprises a roughened plate C, Fig. 1, having a lug C' pivoted between ears B<1> at the end of a stem B, which is mounted in a sleeve portion A<6> of a forwardly - inclined extension A<5> of a bracket A<4>. This bracket is adjustably mounted in a bracket A' secured by adjusting - screws A<2> to the machine frame A<3>. The stem B is prevented from moving along the sleeve A<6> by collars B<2>, B<3>, and the amount through which it may turn is limited by the engagement of a pin B<4> with the bracket A<4>. A blade-spring D may be provided to hold the plate C normally in an horizontal position. In a modified construction, the plate C is connected to its bracket by a ball- and-socket joint. Figs. 3 and 4 show a two-tack lasting-machine of the type described in Specification 10,562/10, in which a work-rest similar to that shown in Fig. 1 is connected with the fastener-inserting mechanism in such a way that the stroke of the independent nail-drivers is changed in accordance with the changes in the level of the marginal portion of the shoe bottom at the points where the tacks are driven. The spindle B is geared to a shaft E having at its upper end a double-armed extension E<2>. each arm of which is connected by a link F to an arm G* of an abutment G. Each abutment comprises a stationary lower part G' and an upper rotatable part G<2> provided with co-operating wedge surfaces G<3>, G<4>. As the extension E<2> is turned, the upper part of one abutment is raised, while that of the other abutment is lowered, so that the nail-driving stroke of each driver-bar I, which carries a projection adapted to strike the abutment G, is varied, with the result that the driven nails all have the same amount projecting above the work. The parts G<2> are held in their adjusted positions by a wedge, which is forced between them by a spring; the wedge is held out of action while the driver bars are raised, by connexions actuated by a cam-surface J<2> on one of the bars.
