Title: Improvements in and relating to Devices for Lowering Burial Caskets, Coffins and the like.
Inventor: BREED WILLIAM JAMES
Filed: 1904-09-29
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 20,979. Breed, W. J., and Warther, J. G. Sept. 29. Coffins, lowering ; winches.-Relates to apparatus for lowering burial caskets or coffins into graves, and comprises gearing for controlling the lowering and for stopping it automatically in the event of an accident, means for operating the screens which cover the mouth of the grave, and an arrangement of framework and of concealing-drapery. Fig. 2 shows a plan and Fig. 3 a part end view. The endplates 1, 2 are connected by rods 4, arranged at the sides so as to leave a clear space for the passage of the coffin. The side draperies or curtains 4b are hung on the upper rods 4. The shafts 6 carrying the drums for the coffin-supporting webs are geared together by a transverse shaft 11, which carries the controlling-gear. One part of such gear consists of a worm 25, and a wormwheel connected to the shaft by a clutch controlled by a lever 28. This gear is intended for use with light coffins, and also serves to raise a coffin if necessary. For heavier coffins, a band brake 36, Fig. 9, controlled by a screw 33 and hand-wheel 31, Fig. 2, is used. The automatic stop gear comprises a spring 42, Fig. 12, mounted between the web of the brake drum 38 and a disc 40 screwed on the hub of the drum and having on its face pawls 44, which at normal speeds clear a projection 46. At an excessive speed, however, a pawl 44 engages the pin 46, as shown at y, and therefore pulls down the arm 50 connected thereto into the path of another of the pawls 44. The rotation of the disc 40 is thus arrested, and it is in consequence screwed along the brake-drum hub against the pressure of the spring 42, and thus sets up a braking action sufficient to stop the further descent of the coffin. The grave-covering screens are supported on longitudinal slats 51 connecting pairs of chains 52 running on pulleys arranged as shown at opposite ends of the frame. The two screens are geared together by a transverse shaft 15, which is fitted with an adjustable spring adapted normally to hold the screens in the closed position shown. After the coffin has passed between the open screens, they are automatically closed by means of chain gearing 23, operated from the shaft 11 through a clutch 57, which is opened, when the screens reach their closed position, by the engagement of a cam on the sprocket 53 with a rod 61 pivoted to a lever 59 on the clutch.

Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 25,461. Lees & Co., A., Kardman, A., and Clegg, J. W. Nov. 23. Slubbing, intermediate, and roving frames; driving-arrangements.-In the twist gearing of slubbing, intermediate, roving, or similar frames, a driven wheel is used as a change-wheel, or if desired both a driven and a driving wheel are changed. The wheel c, driven from the wheel b on the main shaft a, is mounted on a stud or short shaft e, and is made the change-wheel. The shaft e is mounted on a swing bracket f, swivelling about the stud g, which is also the centre of movement of the wheel h gearing with the driving-wheel d, also on the stud or shaft e. The change-wheel c can thus be of various diameters without interfering with the engagement of the gears d, h, and, by making the bracket f in two parts radially adjustable to and from the axis of the stud g, the driving-wheel d can be made a change-wheel as well as or instead of the driven wheel c.

Abstract: 19,695. Legrand, G. J. J., and Gersant, J. Sept. 4. Impact-wheels.- The rotors and stator are formed with lateral or peripheral zigzag surfaces so as to form recesses or pockets on which the motive fluid acts. A doubleexpansion engine is shown in plan in Fig. 1, and in sectional elevation in Figs. 2 and 3. Upon a shaft 11 are mounted forwardrunning rotor wheels 13 and reverse-running wheels 14 alternately, suitable valves being provided to cut one set out of action. In Fig. 5 is shown a developed diagrammatic view of one wheel and the adjacent parts of the stator. The stator pockets are spaced farther apart than the rotor pockets and are flattened off, as shown at 22. As the rotor rotates, one, two, and three rotor pockets are successively placed into communication. This is stated to assist the driving. In the form of rotor shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the pockets on each side are staggered relatively. Within steam-chests 24<a>, 24<b>, Figs. 2 and 3, are situated two laterally - sliding valves 28, 31, controlled by a hand-wheel 37 through a common spindle 35 and rack-and-pinion gearing. Each valve is provided with ports 29, 30, which alternatively communicate with passages leading to the wheels 13 and the wheels 14. The steam is exhausted from the high-pressure wheels through ports 38 to receiving chambers 39, which communicate with the low-pressure steam chest by way of pipes 40. The steam, after acting on the lowpressure wheels, is exhausted through pipes 41. The position of the forward and reversing wheels may be varied, e.g. they may be grouped together instead of being placed alternately. In the modified form of rotor shown in Fig. 9, one side of each wheel is used for forward running and the other side for reverse running. In this modification, the length of the stator pockets increases progressively from the inlet to the exhaust, a feature which may be incorporated with the forms of rotor previously described. Motive fluid, may be admitted at more than one point in each wheel.
