Abstract: 2396. Anderson, A. Jan. 30, 1909, [Convention date]. Winch-actuated platform load-handling machines.-In a fire-escape of the kind comprising a base, an extensible upright, and a carrier suspended from the upright and guided by extensible members, means are provided whereby access may be had to the building from either side of the carrier. The wheeled base is in two parts, of which the forward part 6 is connected to the rear parts by a draw-bar. The part 6 is adjusted by a rack link 10 engaged by a pinion 11 operated by a steering-wheel. Pivoted on the part 5 is a telescopic standard, the lower element 14 of which is stayed by folding struts 46 and guys 46<1> when in use, and is folded down when out of use. The upper element of the standard carries an arm 29, from which depend guide-ropes 42 wound on a winch 44. Running on the guides is a carrier or platform 36 operated by a cable wound on a winch 33. The guide-ropes run between the side of the carrier and pivoted spring - controlled semicircular covers 40, and may be freed from the cage by opening the covers 40. The cage may then be swung round so that a gangway 38 provided on one side of it may be adjacent to the building. An arm 52 is provided to brace the standard to one of the lower sills of the building.

Title: Improvements in Means for Setting up and Justifying Matrix Bars Previously to the Casting of a Line of Type therefrom.
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE
IPC: B41B11/00
Filed: 1910-12-19
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 29,482. Harrison, G., [Ludlow Co.]. Dec. 19. Type-bar making machines; matrices; assembling, justifying, clamping, and alining matrices. - Relates to machines having matrices on bars which slide over a mould. The matrixbars C, Fig. 5, rest in a trough a<1> formed in a bed-plate A, in which is a slot a to receive the mould B'. The bars are tapered and have their thick and thin ends alternating so that adjacent bars bear similar series of matrices in reverse order. The characters most f r equently used are arranged as far as possible in the middle of the bars. The upper edges of the bars are furnished with alining- notches c<1> and with indicating - characters, and each bar has at its centre a pin c<4>. The thin ends of the bars are left blank, so that justifying - spaces may be formed by the overlapping ends of adjacent bars. Blank spaces are also left at intervals among the matrices. Additional bars having parallel sides bear characters which are infrequently used. A slide a<3>, Fig. 3, movable transversely of the trough a<1>, determines the length of the line, and is adjusted by means of a screw a<5>. The line is composed by means of a grooved bar e, Fig. 3, which engages the pins c<4> on the matrix-bars, and is mounted to slide on a shaft d', along which it can be moved bv means of a handle D<2>. The shaft d<1> is carried by a rectangular frame D, which is movable step by step transversely of the matrixbars by depression of the handle D<2>, and carries a series of teeth F. The matrix-bars are successively positioned by moving the whole series longitudinally and then advancing the frame D so that the teeth F engage the pin c<4> on the outermost bar. Indicating characters are provided on the teeth F or on the edge of the frame D. The two central teeth F have on the underside splines f<3>, Fig. 5, which engage the notches c' in the bars. The indicating-characters of the matrix-bars are visible between these central teeth, one of which carries a removable scale and the other a central line to facilitate the composition of short lines. The spacing-bars are forced in to justify the line by two blocks H, Fig. 1, connected together by levers h and links h<I> and operated by a handle h<2>. A spring plate on each block H engages notches in the thick ends of the bars. The matrix-bars are held down on the mould by a vertically movable member J carried by an arm J<1> and operated by an eccentric j having a handle j<1>. After the casting, the bars are returned to normal position by sweeping them along the trough by means of the bar c and engaging the bar with the alined pins c<4>. The notches c<1> in the matrix-bars may be replaced by holes which are engaged by a sliding locking-pin. The thin ends of the matrix-bars may taper more sharply than the body portions to increase the wedging effect.

Abstract: 29,829. Cooper, D. M. Dec. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Ironing - machines with pressing action only.-Relates to a device for carrying the work-support and to the pressure-producing, mechanism. Co-operating with a fixed head 5 are work-supports 9 slidably mounted upon a rotary carrier 6 by means of stems 8 fitting into sockets 7. Rotation of the heads 9 is prevented by parallel guide-bars 11 engaging sockets 12, springs 13 being provided to prevent jamming. Pressure is applied to each stem 8 by means of toggle links 14, 15 operated by a hand-lever 21 through a link 23. The upper link 14 is attached to a pivoted link 17, which carries an adjustable wedge piece 19 for varying the length of the toggle. A lever 25 mounted upon a shaft 26 furnished with a foot-lever 28 is jointed to the lever 15 forming a toggle 27 therewith. In operation, an article having been placed upon the work support 9, the carrier 6 is rotated to bring the support into alinement with the head 5, in which position it is locked by means of a spring bolt 35 engaging in a recess in the carrier. The hand-lever 21 is then operated to apply a preliminary pressure, and is locked by means of a spring dog 47 engaging with a notched quadrant 50, after which the foot lever 28 is depressed and, by straightening the toggle 27, imparts a final pressure. By depressing a treadle 33, the treadle 28 is raised to break the toggle 27, after which the lever 21 may be operated to break the toggle 14, 15. Further depression of the treadle 33 withdraws the bolt 35 through the medium of a link 44, lever 43, shaft 42, and lever 41, releasing the carrier 6.
