Title: Improvements in Locking Devices.
Inventor: HAMILTON BELTON TATTNALL
Filed: 1907-03-20
Granted: 1908-03-20
Abstract: 6674. Hamilton, B. T. March 20. Clutches; levers; shaft couplings.- Relates to locking- up devices of the type in which an operated member is normally frictionally locked to a fixed member, but is automatically released and then adjusted by movement of an operating member. Iu the present invention the lock is effected by means of a screw and nut or like movement. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the operated part A is fixed to a spindle a having a screw-thread a<1> upon which the nuts C, C<1> are mounted. The latter have coned peripheries or grooved or other friction faces, and, influenced by a spring c, are normally in frictional contact with corresponding surfaces upon the fixed member or part B. Rotation of the spindle in either direction causes axial travel of one or other of the nuts, causing cumulative gripping or braking action thereof. The operating lever or member D is loosely mounted, preferably upon the boss a<5> of the element A, and carries one lug or projection d engaging slots in the nuts C, C<1>, while other lugs d<1> encompass the member A. A degree of lost motion is provided between the respective slots in the nuts C, C<1> and also between the lugs d<1> and the member A, so that upon initial movement of the member D the lug d releases that nut which would otherwise oppose motion, while upon continued movement one of the lugs d' engages and rotates or adjusts the member A. In a modification, the nuts move towards one another instead of apart, the fixed gripping-surface B lying between them. In another modification, the device is locked as regards one direction of motion only. The modification shown in Fig. 5 comprises an irreversible driving-device, the operated or driven shaft A<1>, which is hollow, being normally locked as before, but being automatically released and driven by the co-axial driving-shaft D<1>. In this case springs are omitted, and the shaft A<1> can rotate slightly before a lock is established. In another modification, Fig. 9, cam-shaped threads or surfaces a<2> are formed upon the spindle and locking-members. The invention may be applied to relatively sliding pairs as shown in Fig. 10 in which the locking-nuts engage the faces of a straight or curved bar or plate B<2>, being provided if desired with gripping shoes or blocks c<5>. The bifurcated lever D<2> effects release by means of the lugs c<6> and then serves to displace the spindle a adjustably.

Abstract: 1579. Gottlieb, R. Jan. 22 Stencils and stencilling-apparatus, of the kind in which endless lace stencils are used for printing on woven, felted, knitted, or like fabrics or articles, are so arranged that the fabric A, Fig. 1, and a pliable stencil S in the form of a long web of lace or the like, are passed from rolls p, o, respectively, through a guide r and over a fixed table s or a rotating drum, where a mechanicallyformed spray from nozzles b on a reservoir a is directed on to the stencil and fabric. After the spraying, the fabric S is separated from the stencil and is wound upon a roller u<1>, and the stencil is washed and dried by being passed through a reservoir v<1> containing a cleansing-fluid, hot air or steam being used, if required, to assist the cleansing and drying. After cleaning, the stencil is wound upon a roller w<1> driven by the same pulley or crank as the roller u<1>. The spray from the nozzles b is caused to produce a uniform colouring on the fabric by mounting the reservoir a about pivots c, c<1> in a frame d, and oscillating the reservoir slightly about these pivots by means of a toothed wheel n, which is driven from a belt and a pulley on the roller w<1> and acts on an adjustable stop m, Fig. 3, fixed to a bracket k on the reservoir. The wheel n moves the reservoir against the action of a weighted band h, and this movement compensates for the use of jets varying in strength and density. The frame d is adjustable about pivots e, by means of a lever d', so that the direction of the spray is adjustable. The oscillating movement of the reservoir a may be dispensed with, and the frame d given a lateral reciprocating movement instead. In a modification, the reservoir a and nozzles b are moved over the stationary stencil and fabric.
