Abstract: 14,527. Feeny, V. F., [Horst Co., E. C.]. July 8. Conveyers.-In a machine for removing hops from the vines, the vines are fastened to endless carriers by clamps comprising hinged plates 14, 15, a fixed jaw 17, and a movable jaw 18 which forms part of a lever 19 pivoted at 20. The pressure of the vines 18<1> on the lever 19 and on a projecting plate 21 forces the jaw 18 against the jaw 17 and thus causes the ends to be gripped tightly. After the vines have passed through the machine, a trip finger engages the end 22 of the lever 19 and opens the clamp.. The endless carriers also carry clearing and oiling devices for the appliances that strip the hops from the vines. The clearing-devices 25 are attached to cross-bars 26 and the oiling-devices consist of saturated felt or soft leather flaps 28 on cross-bars 27.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Aeroplanes and the like.
Inventor: GAARA HALVOR
IPC: B64C3/38
Filed: 1910-12-09
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 28,670. Gaara, H. Dec. 9. Aerial machines without aerostats; steering and balancing; shock of landing, deadening; cars; propelling.-Aeroplanes &c. are provided with means whereby the stopping or slowing-down of the motor automatically adjusts the planes to the angle required for planing down to the ground, and also with means whereby the planes are automatically adjusted to break the descent prior to landing. Moreover, these means for automatically adjusting the planes may also adjust the aviator's seat so as to alter its height with respect to the sighting-point of the machine, the adjustment of the planes then being such as to bring back the seat and sighting-point to the same positions relative to the ground as they have during normal flight. Fig. 1 shows one form of the invention, in which the motor 1 and propeller 5 are mounted on a sliding shaft 2, and are connected to the main planes 6, 7 by a lever 8 and link 9, the arrangement being such that, when the motor is running, it is pulled forwards by the propeller as shown, whereas when the speed of the motor falls below a certain limit, the motor is moved backwards by a spring 10 so as to adjust the planes as shown in dotted lines. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the motor and propeller are mounted on a frame 16, which is connected by a rope 18 to a platform 19, which is pivoted at 21 and carries a sighting- point 28, aviator's seat 20, and a lever 25 which is connected to a rope 27 operating the elevator 11. The rope 18 is fixed to a pulley 22, which carries an arm 23. When the motor is running, the parts occupy the positions shown in full lines, but when the speed becomes sufficiently reduced, the platform 19 falls on to a stop 30, thereby adjusting the elevator 11 for planing down, and moving the arm 23 to the position shown in dotted lines. Moreover, the downward movement of the aviator with relation to the sighting-point 28 causes him unconsciously to assist the adjustment of the elevator for planing down until the seat and the point 28 are again in the same positions relative to the ground. If the speed of descent becomes too great, the air pressure acting on the arm 23 produces an adjustment of the elevator 11 to check the speed, and the contact of the arm 23 with the ground when landing adjusts the elevator so as to break the descent. In a modification of the form shown in Fig. 2, the lever 25 is pivoted to a fixed point on the machine.
