Title: Improvements in Machines for Turning and Collecting Swaths.
Inventor: NICHOLSON ARTHUR CLIVE
IPC: A01D78/00
Filed: 1913-06-26
Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 14,776. Nicholson, A. C., and Smith, F. H. June 26. Haumaking.-In machines for turning and collecting swaths, in which three heads are arranged all at one side of the main axle, one of the heads is arranged so that it can be raised out of action to convert the machine from a collector to a swath-turner. The outer heads may be adjusted laterally to follow mowing - machines of different widths, and may also be adapted to be moved outwards clear of the centre head to permit them to be moved longitudinally past it,to deliver the crop to the other side of the machine. In the machine shown in Fig. 1, the shafts A carrying the heads B are mounted to swivel on the main driving-shaft C, the front ends sliding in sectors J and being supported by pins passing through holes j. Each shaft A, Fig. 5, is driven through a bevel gear E, and is mounted in an eye or bearing D in such a manner that it can swivel round the shaft C and also be moved sideways to engage with one or other of the bevel gears G, H. A handle I and pin permit of the adjustment of the bearing D into one or other of the driving positions or into an intermediate at rest position. To allow of the lateral adjustment of the outer shafts, the ends of the shafts are carried at the rear by gear boxes sliding on the main shaft C and at the front by brackets 12, Fig. 8, sliding on a cross-bar 13. The adjustment is effected by a lever 14 and links 15. The lever may be locked in position by a pin p passing through holes in a bracket p<2>. To allow the centre head to be raised out of action, the cranked shaft A<2>, Fig. 13, carrying the head B is supported by a lever 18 carried by a pin q on a bracket 17 on the gear box L. The lever 18 can be turned to cause the end of the tubular driving-sleeve F on the shaft to engage either a coupling 11 or a stationary pin on the bracket 17. The tubular sleeve F is driven from the main shaft C, Fig. 10, through the shaft 2 and through either the gears 5 or the chain 6. The handle 8 operates the clutch 7, to engage one or other of the drives or to cause it to occupy an intermediate position. In cases where there are wind guards or other obstruction to the parallel longitudinal movement of the heads, the outer heads are so mounted that the shafts can be raised out of the supporting-sectors at the front of the machine and then swivelled about a central vertical shaft 28, Fig. 16, in the gear box. The gear box is provided with a handle-operated clutch 27 to occupy one of three positions.

Abstract: 11,408. Osterreichische Siemens- Schuckertwerke, and Regal Patente Ges. May 10, 1913, [Convention date]. Jacquards; cards and the like, punching.-In a jacquard, card-punching, or like machine in which the lifting-hooks or punches are controlled by electro-magnets or solenoids, one part of a selecting- element is displaced so as to control the mechanical selection of the corresponding lifting-hook &c. either by becoming a direct-acting element or by reason of shortening the original element. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a solenoid s has a core with a paramagnetic part a, a diamagnetic part b, and a loose part c, and, on excitation, it moves the part c into a hole r of a plate g. After completed reading, the plate g moves with plates e,f towards the pins n of the hooks p (or the pins move towards the plates), the parts c resting in the plate g acting to impart the necessary selecting- impulses. The parts are restored to their original positions when the plates e, g, f move back, the plate g being first lifted. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, a plate h is moved against pins i, which act through the parts c, b, a on the pins n, except where the parts c have been projected into holes r ; the pins i may be made in two parts with springs between them, to prevent breakage. In some cases, the solenoid tube extends into the opening r and has, at this part, a hole in its lower half. The core itself may consist of an iron tube. The end d may be made of or covered with diamagnetic material. The parts of the core other than the part c may be held together in a sleeve pressed at its ends into grooves in the parts. To effect a braking action, the core may be made slightly conical towards its flange, or its tube may be slotted and driven apart or formed with a slotted-out tongue.
