Abstract: 7490. Ritter, F. April 8. Chairs.-In dental, surgical, and barbers' chairs, the seat frame 2 is mounted on a support 1, and has at its forward edge legs 4, which support a platform, the tilting of which is controlled by a lever 5. To the lower part of the back frame 8 is attached an angularly-adjustable arm 10, passing through an aperture in the seat frame 2, and provided with a spring-controlled locking-device, by which means the patient may be returned from a reclining position by elevation of the chair back. The back-rest 25 is pivoted at 26 to a frame 24, which is pivoted at 51 to a slide 23 mounted in a movable section 22 in the chair-back frame. The lower end of the back-rest is adjusted by means of a pawl 55 engaging in a rack 52, which rolls at 53 on the back frame 8. The back-rest 25 may also be turned to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1, to form a child's seat, collapsible arm-rests 58 being provided for use in such case. An endless driving-chain is mounted on sprockets in the chair back, the opposite sides of the chain being respectively connected by pins with the sliding portion 22 and with a sliding block connected to an arm 40 secured at 41 to the rear side of the seat frame 2. By this means, when the back is outwardly rotated, the sliding section 22 and the parts mounted thereon are caused to approach the seat.

Patent GB-190510472-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Butter Cutters.
Inventor: ROSS CHARLES PERRY
Filed: 1905-05-18
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 10,472. Ross, C. P. May 24, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Butter cutters.-With a base 1 of open-work, bearing a spider turntable 4 to receive a tubful of butter on a disk, is combined an upright frame 22 and a sliding carrier 31, on which is provided a compound lever 43 with a handle 43<1> and stretched cutting-wire 45. The cut is made from the centre, both vertically and horizontally, over a rest 47 on an upright 46. For turning the turntable 4 to feed the butter under the cutter, a hand-lever 7 is provided, to which a drag-pawl 9 with lugs 11, Fig. 7, is attached by a link 8 and spring 10. The feed given is determined by two indicators or stops 13, 15, the former of which is on a diametral turning-bar 12 which is set automatically each time the cutter-carrier is lowered, to compensate for the increasing diameter of the body of butter. To accomplish this, there is a four-bar linkage 24 with guide-pin 28<1> in the upright frame, which is connected by a link 27 to the turning-bar and, in opposition to a spring 21, is subject to the action of a pin 37 on the cutter-carrier. The line of descent of the pin is made changeable, to suit butter of different specific gravities, by means of an arm 38<11> which takes a number of positions on a quadrant 39. To compensate for any extra initial height of the butter, the linkage is provided with a wing 40 and a bell-crank lever 41 for turning the same. When the carrier is elevated, the upward movement of the long arm of the bell-crank lever presses the wing against the pin on the carrier, and so makes the linkage 24 move the indicator or stop 13, reversal. being prevented by the long arm engaging teeth on the carrier. After the butter has been put on the turntable, the bell-crank lever, disengaged from the teeth, is lowered till a gauge 52 which follows it rests on the butter. This operation permits the spring 21 to move the indicator or stop 13 to the compensatory position required in cutting the first layer. A yoke 33 hinged to the carrier engages notches in the upright frame, to maintain the carrier at different heights. An arm 16 bisecting the angle between the stops or indicators 13, 15 marks the horizontal cut required for half the unit quantity of butter.

Abstract: 24,161. Hepburn, J. T. Nov. 23. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to the transmission gear, framing, and the mounting of the motors of motor road vehicles, and consists in connecting the engine casing with the back axle by a steel tube or other rigid connection through which tube a rigid longitudinal shaft passes, driving the rear axle through bevel or worm gearing. Fig. 2 shows in plan the invention applied to a tri-car. The motor a is supported above the front axle on a horizontal transverse pivot f mounted at each end on springs c. The change-speed gear casing h is secured to the engine casing and to one end of a hollow steel tube i, the other end of which is secured to the back axle gear case j. The transmission shaft passes through the steel tube and carries a bevel pinion gearing with a bevel-wheel on a sleeve running on the fixed back axle q. Ball bearings are arranged at the rear end of the transmission shaft, and between the gear case j and the running axle. In the case of a four-wheeled car, shown in plan in Fig. 4, the pivot f carrying the motor is supported on the front axle by a transverse spring c, and the motor is further supported by links. Two hollow steel tubes are used. one fitting within the other, the inner tube being secured to the gear case h, and the outer tube to the back axle gear case j, and connected by rods w to the ends of the axle. This arrangement, while not permitting end play, allows the back axle to take up an inclined position when the car is passing over uneven roads. The body of the car is supported at the front by the same springs as support the motor, and at the rear by springs v in the ordinary manner.

Title: Improvements in Grabs.
Inventor: BARNARD DUDLEY JAMES
Filed: 1906-02-12
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 3434. Barnard, D. J. Feb. 12. Grabs. - Relates to single-chain grabs, such as are use for loading and unloading coal &c. in bulk. Fig. 1 is a side view of the bucket when open, Fig. 3 an end view of the same when closed, and Fig. 4 a detail view showing the means for clutching the hoisting-drum to its shaft. The grab comprises two bucket sections 1, hinged to the framework, in which is mounted a spindle 4, carrying loosely a drum 5 to which the hoisting-chain 7 is attached. Rigid with the drum 5 is a smaller drum 9 around which passes a rope carrying a balance weight 11, Fig. 4. On the opposite side of the main drum 5 and fast on the shaft 4 is mounted the bucketclosing drum 12, from which a chain or chains 13 pass to the bucket sections. When the bucket is lowered in its extended position, and rests on the material to be lifted, the weight 11 rotates the drum 9, which carries with it the main drum 5 and winds up the slack of the hoisting-chain. When the drum 5 reaches a certain position, a pawl 15, pivoted on a pin 16 and carrying a sliding counterweight 17, clutches it to the shaft 4. Subsequent hauling on the chain 7 rotates the drum 12 and closes the grab. The material may be deposited by means of a ring 22 engaging one arm of a trip-lever 20, the other arm of which engages the pawl 15 and releases the main drum 5 from its shaft. Alternatively, the material may be deposited by resting the closed grab upon the spoil heap, when the hoisting-chain will be wound on the drum 5 by the weight 11, until the counterweighted pawl 15 automatically disengages, so that on subsequently taking in the hoisting-chain the grab is free to open and discharge. A dash-pot 24 prevents shock on the opening of the bucket. Instead of the weight 11, a spring may be provided to rotate the drum 9 and to take up the slack of the hoisting-chain. When handling heavy or large material around which the bucket sections may not completely close, the pawl is provided with an additional arm for engagement by the trip-lever 20.
