Filed: 1907-12-23
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 28,256. Buchmeier, J. G., and Zimmermann, C. Dec. 23. Couplings, automatic and non-automatic ; drawgear.-In a link-and-hook coupling, which may be set for automatic action or operated non-automatically from the side of the vehicle, and in which the link is pressed into the horizontal, or retained in the vertical position by a spring, the link is formed with an intermediate joint which may be loosened so that the front part of the link hangs downwards when the car is being loaded by dumping-carts &c., and the links are mounted in an improved way. Further, the coupling is combined with known types of tightening-gear and auxiliary couplings. The link 8 is secured upon a crossshaft 5 mounted in bearings 4, which are arranged to slide through the headstock and are carried by braces 3 provided on the draw-bar. The link 8 may be retained in either a vertical or horizontal position by the engagement of flats 9, 10, Fig. 3, formed thereon with a spring 11, the movement of the link being facilitated by a roller 12. The link is further retained in the horizontal position by the engagement of projections 8<1> formed thereon with corresponding abutments 4<1> provided on the bearings 4. The front edges of the links are bevelled so that they may pass each other during automatic coupling. Additional means for preventing accidental uncoupling comprise guards 15, with which the hooks 13 may be provided. Handles 7 are provided for engaging squares 6 formed upon cranked ends of the shafts 5, and may also be used for tightening joints 29, which are provided in the links 8. The auxiliary coupling for connexion with existing couplings comprises an extra link 28, Fig. 5, which when not in use, may be supported by a supplementary hook 26, as shown by dotted lines, this hook serving also as a safety connexion for the screw link 27 of the ordinary coupling. The tightening - gear comprises opposite screwthreads 16, 17 formed on a divided draw-bar and operated by a nut 18, worm-wheel 19, and a worm mounted on a cross-shaft 23 fitted with folding handles 22. This gear, instead of being interposed in the draw-bars, may be arranged to allow the links 8 to be adjusted relatively to the draw-bars.

Abstract: 153. Shepherd, J., and Ullery, F. B. Jan. 2. Collectors.-Relates to a particular arrangement of that type of trolly collector in which the supporting-harp for the trolly-wheel is pivoted so as to allow the wheel to have a lateral movement independently of the trolly pole. Figs. 2 and 3 show sectional views of one construction. The upper end of the pole 9 is provided with a head 11 having a socket in which the tongue 12 of the harp 8 is pivoted. The tongue fits snugly between the front and back faces of the socket, but may move laterally against cushioning-springs 24 arranged in the socket. The wheel axle may be adapted to contain a lubricant, which is fed to the wheel hub through ducts 23. Fig. 4 shows a modified construction, the harp being formed with a flaring skirt 10<1> in which the end of the trolly pole is pivoted at 13<1>.

Abstract: 1035. Garsed, J. L. Jan. 16. Propelling.-The vibratory wings 1 of an aerial machine are driven by eccentrics or cranks 2, and means are provided for feathering the wings. In one arrangement, an arm 4, rigid with the plane, is pivoted to a rod 3 connecting the cranks 2, and a crank 6 of different throw to the cranks 2 is connected by a rod 5 to the lower end of the arm 4. The rotation of the cranks moves the plane up and down, and the plane assumes different inclinations on the up and down strokes owing to the action of the larger crank 6. In another form, the arm 4, Fig. 2. is secured to the rod 3 and is pivoted to the plane, on which is fixed an arm 9 connected to the rod 5. The rod 4 may be connected to the plane by a pivoted link 7, Fig. 3, and the plane is pivotally connected to the crank 6, which may be an extension of the crank 2. In another form, the plane may be pivoted directly on the arm 4, the crank 6 being connected to the plane through a pivoted link.

Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 4558. Kreissle, X. June 7, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Acetylene.-In a generator, carbidecontainers are immersed in water and become inclined on the descent of the ga.sholder, the containers being so constructed that gas is generated only when the containers are inclined. In the form shown, a carbide-container e closed by a lid f is immersed in a water tank a and suspended from a pivot i so that it tends to hang obliquely. The container has apertures k to admit water and perforations l for the escape of gas, and the lid has an escape outlet m. When the container is vertical, the gas outlet m is below the water inlet k and no gas is generated. On the descent of the gas-holder b, a roller s thereon presses on a lever q and raises a perforated wash-plate n with down-turned edges pivoted at o. The wash-plate moves to the right and allows the container to hang obliquely, so that the gas outlet m is above the water inlet k and gas is generated, passing through the wash-plate to the gas-holder.. Any number of carbide-containers may be used, the left-hand edge of the wash-plate being then provided with steps so that the containers come into action successively.

Cardboard targets or models are clamped to bars k, which are perforated to fit on pins j<1> on the guide-bars j. Metal plates o protect the guides and framework from shots, and are inclined to prevent ricochet effects. Cardboard or other models of trees, houses, &c. are inserted in grooves b<1>, b<2>, f<4> in the guides, and may be backed with metal to form screens for the running targets. A model signalling-flag device situated near the targets is operated by electric means controlled by keys 6 at the firing point. The framing may be furnished with a scale of feet and inches, and the various landscapes may be drawn to scale from illustrations and printed instructions.

Abstract: 14,618. Birmingham Small Arms Co., Ewing, W. E., and Hillhouse, J. P. Jan. 10. Lathe8 ; milling ; planing. -The reciprocating parts of machine tools such as lathes and milling, planing, or profiling machines are provided with antifriction bearings. The bearing- surfaces are adjusted to take up slackness caused by wear &c. by devices which comprise an element or elements in addition to the usual set-screws. Fig. 1 shows a reciprocating work-table supported by rollers a, b running between blocks a<1>, b<1> and a<2>, b<2> mounted on the table c and base d respectively. Lateral displacement of the table is prevented by balls e mounted in cages e<1> and running between raceways cut in the block b<1> and lateral bearing-surfaces f, f<1> on the table c. The bearing-surface f is pressed forwards by springs g held in position by screws g'. The cages e<1> comprise flat strips which are provided with elongated slots to allow the necessary movements of the balls e and rollers b, and which have side pieces riveted thereto to contain the balls. The balls may be dispensed with and the rollers enlarged at their extremities to engage the sides of the runners. Fig. 2 shows a grinding-wheel base h mounted upon balls j mounted in cages e<1> and running between grooved bearing blocks k, k<1> carried by the wheel-base h and the frame d respectively.

Abstract: 21,205. Roberts, P. R., and Broadley, J. R. Oct. 8. Clutches.-Relates to combined friction and positive clutches in which the positive clutch is engaged centrifugally after the closing of the friction clutch, tripping-devices being provided for releasing the springs &c. which control the centrifugal action of the parts operating the positive clutches. A friction clutch, which may be a cone on the driving-part, is brought into engagement with a driven cone a, Fig. 1, which carries. pivoted weighted levers e engaging recesses in rods f secured to positive clutch parts c. Pivoted to the rods f are triggers q provided with shoulders engaging a sleeve m', which is pressed outwards by a spring or the like g and controlled by a lever p'. The trigger ends bear on a tapered surface on an oval or elliptical sleeve r, and as the rods fare moved inwards by the centrifugal action of the levers e, the shoulders are disengaged from the sleeve m<1> and the spring g is released. The sleeve r can be rotated by the lever p' to bring the triggers opposite the narrow diameter of the sleeve r so that the sleeve m' is moved inwards to engage the shoulders on the triggers and then outwards to disengage the clutch. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the driven friction member a carries pivoted levers e which are connected by links to a campiece k, engaging a similar fixed cam S. Centrifugal force throws out the levers e and rotates the piece k causing movement of the clutch part c connected to the cam S. The cam k is returned to its position by a coiled spring g.
