When the shaft a is rotated io one direction or the other by means of handles b placed at its ends, one or other of the ratchets f, g comes into action to raise the corresponding rack. When one of the racks is to be lowered after unloading, the ratchet pawl at the other side of the vehicle is disengaged. The gear-wheels may be relieved of the weight of the body when raised, by detents arranged to engage the racks m, n.

Abstract: 9481. T³chler, E. April 19, 1909, [Convention date]. Controlling-apparatus, arrangements of hand and foot gears in conjunction with flexible transmitters.-Relates to brake-operating mechanism for the swivelling wheels of vehicles in which brake blocks expanded within a drum on the wheel are used. The brake blocks, which are mounted upon a disk carried by the swivelling axle, are actuated by a lever 6, the free end of which is connected by toggle-links 38, 37 to a fixed abutment 39 on the disk. The joint of the toggle-links is connected to a pedalshaft 35 by a cord 33<a>, which passes around a pulley 34. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also two modifications shown in the cancelled Figs. 3 and 7. Fig. 3 shows the lever 6 connected by a link 14 to a ball joint 12 normally lying in the axis of the wheel pivot, the ball joint being mounted on the end of a short lever 11 fixed on a transverse spindle 8 which is operated by a lever 9 and rod 10. A link 16 also connects the lever 6 to a universal joint at the end of a lever 20 at the opposite side of the brake disk, the lever 20 being fixed to a rod 21 which turns in a sleeve 22 mounted on a vertical pivot 23 on the brake disk and extends to a corresponding lever on the opposite side of the vehicle to enable both brakes to be applied simultaneously. Fig. 7 shows the levers 6 on each brake drum connected by links 14 to horizontal bell - crank levers 27, which are coupled by links 31, 32 to the shorter arms of a T-shaped lever 28 operated by a rod 10.

Inventor: ADAM MATTHEW ATKINSON
IPC: F41A13/12
Filed: 1910-07-09
Granted: 1911-07-10
Abstract: 16,459. Adam, M. A., [Automatic Arms Co.]. July 9. Machine guns; sound of discharge, modifying. - Relates to cooling - devices of the kind in which air is drawn over the barrel through the longitudinal passages formed by radial ribs, by the action of an ejector operated by the gases of discharge, and consists in providing the gun barrel with a metal sleeve of high conductivity having longitudinal air passages of closed section. The invention is shown in Figs 2, 3, and 5 applied to a gas-operated gun, the barrel a and gas-cylinder b of which are surrounded by a two-part aluminium jacket c, f having radial ribs g. The jacket is surrounded by a casing h, which closes the air passages and has an end plate i, Fig. 3, provided with holes through which air is drawn by the discharge of the powder gases through a gas-ejector tube p attached to the casing h. The air is thus caused, at each discharge of the gun, to pass along the longitudinal ducts formed by the ribs g, which may be knurled and blackened to increase the heat-radiating effect. The tube p can be made of any desired length so as to vary the recoil and silencing effect.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Nailing or Tacking Apparatus for Machines Employed in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D75/00
Filed: 1910-10-25
Granted: 1911-10-25
Abstract: 24,783. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Oct. 25. Loose-nailing.-A tacking or nailing apparatus for boots and shoes, comprising means for driving tacks &c. at the opposite sides and toe end, is arranged so that, by a preliminary adjustment, the insertion of one tack on each side of the shoe may be suspended; another adjustment provides for varying the driving location of the toe tack. The invention is described as applied to pulling-over machines of the type described in Specifications 7005/00, 12,304/03, and 16,337/08, [all in Class 17, Boots &c.], which are arranged to drive seven tacks into a shoe, as shown in Fig. 4. The tacks gravitate down shoots in a raceway block 20, Fig. 3, to a separator slide 10. According to the present invention, the block is cut away at its lower end above the slide to receive stop plates 22, 23, which have openings 24 cut through them in position to aline, respectively, with the first and second, and the sixth and seventh raceway grooves. The plates are adapted to be moved simultaneously by a handoperated worm and wheel 25*, 26*, Fig. 7. When they are in their central positions, all the passages are open. When the plates are closed together, the first and seventh tacks are cut off; and, when they are moved in the opposite direction, the second and sixth tacks are cut off. A similar arrangement may be provided at the toe end; but to avoid duplication of parts, the toetacker is instead made laterally adjustable to insert a tack to one side or other of the median line of the machine. For this purpose, the toetacker arm 35, Fig. 2, in addition to being hung at 36 for inward and outward swinging, is pivoted at 38 for lateral swinging, and is slotted transversely at 40 to receive a cross-bar 42 connecting the wide ends of a forked bar 888 of the usual mechanism for moving the tacker into and out of operative position. The guideway in the head 2 is enlarged, and is overlaid by a plate 45, in which the arm fits as to width, but can move freely forwards and backwards. This plate is operable by means of rack gearing 46, 48, and a locking-device 50, 52. The toe-gripper bar 60 may be guided in the plate 45 for lateral adjustment with the toe-tacker; the toe wiper is also adjusted with the tacker. If desired, any or all of the side tackers may be arranged for adjustment longitudinally of the shoe.

Abstract: 25,865. Tietze, W. Nov. 7. Operating swinging doors.-Relates to spring door-closing devices of the kind in which the spring is compressed by means of a roller which bears upon the periphery of a cam, and consists in constructing the cam by bending a flatsection metal bar to the required shape and in the general arrangement of the parts. In one arrangement, the cam 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is fixed to the upper part of the door frame and post, and is engaged by a roller 5 carried by a rod 7 provided with a sleeve 9 which slides upon a rod 8 against the action of the closing-spring 10. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, an air check cylinder 20 is provided, the piston-rod of which is provided with a pair of pins carrying rollers 22, 23 bearing against opposite sides of a cam 16. A third roller 25, bearing against a second cam 17, is carried by a sleeve on the piston-rod and acts upon the closing-spring 24 fixed between the rollers 23, 25. The air check and spring are arranged in a recess in the top of the door. In another arrangement applied to a double door, the wings of which open in opposite directions, a cam is fixed to the inner end of each door, and the closing-spring, which is arranged in a recess in the upper frame of the door, bears at its ends against rods carrying rollers engaging the cams. In a further arrangement applied to a centrally pivoted four-wing revolving door, an endless cam is fixed to the top of the door, and the closing- spring, arranged in a recess in the door frame, is extended by means of a roller bearing upon the periphery of the cam.

Abstract: 18,052. Sazenhofen, Ludwig, Freiherr von. Aug. 9. Stopping-arrangements.-In a rotary machine for printing on tin-plates means are provided in connexion with an automatic feeding-device for stopping the machine if the plates are not fed correctly to the grippers of the impression cylinder. The plates are registered on front stops 33 before being seized by grippers 4 mounted on a spindle 3. The stops 33 are mounted on a spindle 39 and carry a contact 40. A spring 41 tends to bring this contact into engagement with a central contact 38 secured to the spindle 3. These contacts 40, 41 are in a circuit which can be closed only when a sliding contact 42 on the impression cylinder 1 engages a fixed contact 44. If the sheet rests on both abutments 33, the contacts 40, 41 are moved apart, and the circuit remains broken. If, however, the sheet is misfed, the contacts 40, 41 close, and the circuit is completed. An electromagnet 50 in the circuit operates a releasing- armature which stops the machine. The circuit also includes a contact 48 on a cylinder 47, which rotates at half the speed of the cylinder 1, and ensures the breaking of the circuit while the cylinder 1 is at rest.
