Title: Improvements in Belt Shifting Devices.
Inventor: URWICK ARTHUR JOHN
IPC: F16H7/22
Filed: 1910-09-23
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 22,080. Urwick, A. J. Sept. 23. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery. -Relates to belt-shifting devices of the kind in which the fork is actuated by means of a crank, as described in Specification 9854/03, and in which means are provided whereby it is locked in its extreme positions. A bar b, to which belt forks a are adjustably secured, is slidably pivoted upon a fixed bar c by means of a clamped bracket b<3> with curved bearing- surfaces b<4>. A pulley d mounted upon a fixed plate e, when operated by a rope f, locks and slides the fork member b through a crank-pin d<1>, and a slot b<1> in the member b. To lock the device in either extreme position when the belt is on the fast or loose pulley, opposite projections d<2> on the pulley d are adapted to engage frictionally stops k adjustably secured to an arm g, which is preferably of resilient steel, and is adjustably secured to a bracket h on the fork member. The stops k may however be dispensed with, the projections d<2> engaging directly with the resilient arm g. The fork members a, which are provided with bearing-rollers l mounted on ball bearings, are attached above or below or in front or behind to seatings b<2> on the member b.

Title: Improvements in connection with Means for Brailing Torpedo Nets.
Inventor: BULLIVANT FREDERICK ARTHUR
IPC: B63G9/00
Filed: 1910-10-24
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 24,683. Bullivant, F. A., and Selby, G. M. Oct. 24. Stanchions; torpedo nets.-Comprises a construction of stanchions for ships' hand-rails, enabling them to be used also as davits for brailing torpedo-nets. The stanchion 1 is pivoted on the bolt 4 to the foot-plate 3, and is formed with a foot-piece 2 which may be held by a bolt 5 in the hole 19 when the stanchion is in use as a hand-rail support. When it is desired to use the stanchion as a brailing- davit, the top hand-rail, which is equally divided between the stanchions, is brought inboard to act as a guy-rope 11, and is secured to the deck by the shackle 21, the stanchion being inclined slightly outboard by passing the pin 5 through the hole 20 and the foot-piece 2. In order to relieve the pin 5 of stress, the hole 20 is formed as a slot, and the ropes 11 are provided with tightening-screws 14, thus ensuring all stress being taken by the ropes 11. The foot-plate 3 is also provided with parts 6 to carry the deflecting and leading rollers 7, 8 for guiding the brailing-ropes along the vessel's side. In addition, a sheave 16 fitted in a casting is dropped on to a pin 17 on the head of the stanchion 1 and, secured by a pin 18, guides the rope to the nets.

Abstract: 25,254. Wart, H. M. de. Nov. 13. Dolls.-Relates to mechanism for moving the eyes of dolls, lay figures, wax figures, &c., of the type in which the eyes are capable of both lateral and closing movements. According to the invention the complete eye mechanism is mounted in a stationary frame fixed in the head of the figure and provided with eye openings. In one form, the eyeballs G, Fig. 2, are mounted in spherical shells F pivoted in fixed spherical shells C provided with eye-openings. Projecting rearwards from the eyes are rods g passing through slots in the shells F and connected by a rod h, formed or provided with a weight H. The shells F which serve as eyelids are connected by a cross-bar c carrying a pendulous weight d. During closing and opening of the eyes, the eyeballs and shells F move together, the eyeballs moving independently during their lateral movements. In another form, the weight H is dispensed with, the stem of the weight d being connected to the centre of the bar h, the weight d controlling both lateral and closing movements. In another form, Fig. 10, the eyeballs are pivoted on vertical pins m. The shells F<1> in this form are reduced to rings except for the portion forming the eyelid. In a further modification, Fig. 14, part of the eyeball is cut away, and the shells F" are still further reduced, leaving only the eye-lid and pivotal portions. The fixed and pivoted frames are provided with co-acting stops and projections to limit the movements of the eyeballs.
