Title: Improved Automatic Weighing & Recording Machine
Filed: 1904-11-19
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 25,141. Dobson, J., and Pooley & Son, H. Nov. 19. Automatic-feed weighers; feeding - devices. - Coal, grain, seed, &c. to be weighed is fed through a shoot a into a hopper o suspended from the beam p. The feed-door b is kept open by reason of its rigid connection with a cam l provided with notches l<2>, l<3>. In the position shown, the pawl m engages with the notch l<3>. The second feeddoor c is kept open by a weighted pawl k pivoted to it and engaging with a notch l<1> in the cam. The pawl m is carried by an arm g loosely mounted with respect to the cam l and connected by a rodf to the bell-crank lever e. As the material is fed, the beam p descends into the horizontal position, thereby raising the projection s<1> on the weight suspensionrod s and freeing the short arm of the bell-crank lever e. The pawl m moves to the left and allows the door b to fall and partially close the feedspout. As the beam descends still further, the catch h<1> on the rod h fixed to the beam engages the curved arm i of the pawl k and trips it so as to allow the door c to fall and completely shut off the feed. Simultaneously, the arm c<2>, rigidly connected with the door c, rises and engages the projection n<2> on the rod n<1>, lifting the lever n to throw the rocket w<1> on the weighted lever w away from the hooked portion u<1> on the weighted lever u, when the door t is opened by the weight of the material in the hopper. The material being discharged, the hopper rises and the door t is closed by a weight, when the roller w<1> again engages. The angle between the arm u and adjacent arm w is less than a right-angle, to prevent accidental discharge. As the weight r descends, the projection s<1> operates the bell crank e, the pawl m on the lever g rotating the cam l by means of the notch l<2>, and thereby raising the door b, the pawl k then engaging with the notch l<1>. The nose of the lever n<3>, which is fixed to the lever n<1>, also engages a lateral projection on the pawl m, throwing it out of the tooth l<2> and freeing the cam l, which is then turned by the weight of the door b. The projection n<2> engages the arm c<2>, thereby raising the door c. The pawl m at the same time engages with the tooth l<3> and holds the doors in position. The number of weighings may be indicated by a counter. To prevent arching of the material in the spout a, a number of segmental breaking-bars 1, Fig. 7, are mounted on a hinged shaft 2 in the side of the shoot, and are adapted to move out slowly and return quickly by the working of the crank-pin 3 in the slotted lever 4.

Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 19,460. Michel, C. Dec. 12, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Clutches.-A friction clutch for pulleys or gearwheels or for coupling co-axial shafts &c., especially applicable in rapidly-moving mechanisms, such as are used in motor carriages, cycles, boats, &c., comprises two friction shoes F, G eccentrically disposed and adapted to fit closely the surface of an eccentric conical disk H fixed to the shaft B. The outer surface, against which the shoes grip to transmit the drive, consists of a cylindrical cap D, fixed to the shaft A and fitted with a cover E so that the casing may be filled with lubricant. To ensure centring, a stop L is fixed in the conical disk H to prevent further rotation of whichever shoe is pressing against it. Diametrically opposite, the ends M of an inner spring project between the two shoes to form a resilient stop. A split ring T causes the shoes F, G to close on the disk H when the connexion is uncoupled, which is done by means of a comparatively small longitudinal force. Either of the shafts, or of the clutch elements may be movable to connect or disconnect. If the shaft B conveys the driving force, the cap D may be a pulley-gear wheel &c. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901, also comprises a special construction of the clutch for use in motor-vehicles. In this form, the cap D is formed integral with the fly-wheel, while the motor shaft A has an extension A<1> upon which is arranged a slidable bronze sleeve c with a collar h bearing against a collar on a hollow shaft N which carries the disk H, secured by a conical portion and a nut d. The eccentric disk H is outwardly,conical at the working parts only, being elsewhere circular. The shoes F, G are preferably of aluminium and have friction plates f, g of metal or fibre. The clutch is normally operated by the pressure of a spring P which bears upon the motor shaft A. through the medium of a ball bearing e, its other end pressing the clutch part H into engagement through the collar h and hollow shaft N. The lever k pivoted at o, serves to release the clutch by moving the shaft B to compress the spring P and withdraw the member H.
