Title: Improvements in and relating to Potato Planting Machines.
Inventor: TOEPFFER ERNST
IPC: A01C9/06
Filed: 1913-04-28
Granted: 1914-04-28
Abstract: 9931. Toepffer, E. April 28. Potato planters. - A potato planter is provided with a main planter provided with spring- controlled grippers and a similar auxiliary planter which is put into action when the grippers of the main planter miss taking up a potato and which is also provided with means to continue its operation should any of its grippers miss a potato. The grippers d, Fig. 1, having movable upper jaws d<1> are mounted on radial arms projecting from a disk and are provided with toothed arms w which are adapted to be engaged by levers v pivoted to arms 1 of bell-crank levers held in position by springs 3 connecting the long arms 2 to the radial arms supporting the grippers, and which contact with a rail 4. On the rotation of the wheel, a roller 5 on the end of the lever 2 engages a rail x causing the lever v to move the arm w to open the gripper and release the potato. Further rotation removes the roller 5 from contact with the rail x, allowing the spring 3 to close the gripper; the roller 6 on the upper jaw d<1> of the gripper, now closed, engages the slope 7 of a tongue c opening the gripper which is kept open by the engagement of the roller 6 with the part 8, allowing the gripper to take up a potato, fed into a hopper with sloping sides by a roller b, before the slope 9 frees the roller 6. The disk carrying the grippers is mounted on the main shaft e and carries also a wheel q, Fig. 3, having dogs p which are adapted to be engaged by rollers o carried by two levers k which with four other plain levers are pivoted to a disk i carried by the gripper disk of the auxiliary planter, which is loose on the shaft e and prevented from backward movement by a ratchet-wheel and pawl h. The levers k carry pins m which engage slots in a ring n connected to the disk i by a spring r. The auxiliary planter is held stationary by the engagement of a lever k with a spring- actuated stop connected to a lever u. When a gripper on the main planter misses a potato, a stop t on an arm 10 carried by the gripper engages the lever u and moves the stop s out of engagement with a lever k. The rollers o are thus caused to engage the dogs p of the wheel q and the disk i is revolved bringing the auxiliary planter into operation, the gripper of which corresponds to the main gripper which has missed a potato. Should a gripper on the auxiliary planter miss a potato, a stop t on the gripper engages the lever u as before, and immediately the stop t leaves the lever u, this lever and the stop s are returned to the normal position by the spring s and thus arrest the next lever k. Further rotation of the auxiliary planter is thus assured until a gripper takes up a potato.

Abstract: 18,523. Kiefer, J. G. Aug. 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Sliding sashes in one plane.-Relates to windows having sliding sashes lying in the same plane when closed. The upper part of the window frame is provided with guide-bars 2, 4 engaged by a pair of pins 2<a> on the upper sash 6 and by projections 9, 10 on the lower sash 7, the lower part of the frame being formed with grooves 3, 5 in which pins 8 on the lower ends of the sashes 6, 7 work. The grooves 5 and the curved parts 13 leading to the grooves 3 are deeper than the grooves 3, and the guide-pins 8 on the sash 7 are longer than those on the sash 6, so that the pins 8 on the sash 7 cannot enter the grooves 3. The lower ends of the guide-bars 2 are bent inwards at a right-angle so that the sash 7, when turned, inwards, cannot be slidden upwards until the projections 9, 10 have arrived under the ends of the bars 4, the upwardly-bent portions 26 of the bars 2 serving to guide the projections 10 until the upward movement of the sash brings the projections 9 into engagement with the opposite sides of the bars 4. On each side of the window frame is mounted a vertically sliding stop 16, which, in its lowest position, lies opposite the projection 9 and prevents the sash 7 from being swung inwards, but which, in its highest position, lies opposite the space between the projections 9, 10, thereby allowing the sash to swing inwards. If the bolt 16 has been left in its highest position when the sash 7 is in the position shown in Fig. 1, it will be pushed down by the projection 9 when the sash is lowered, so that the sash will not accidentally swing inwards. When the upper sash 6 is lowered, pins 15 on the sash engage fixed plates 14 to prevent the guide-pins from leaving the grooves 3, but when the sash is completely lowered, the pins 15 may pass underneath the plates 14 so that the sash can be swung inwards. The horizontal portions of the guide-bars 2 arieut away, as shown in Fig. 9, to allow the guidepins 2<a> to pass by when the sash 6 is lowered. The guide-pins 8 of the sashes are formed with lateral projections 11 which engage under fixed pins 24 when the sashes are swung down, and prevent the lower ends of the sashes from rising.

Abstract: 24,150. Holstrom, C. Oct. 24. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Consists in a primer-injector which is actuated by the movements of the breech-screw in the carrier, so that in the event of the primer not being inserted by the gunner sufficiently to enable it to be acted upon by the usual incline on the lock frame, the injector automatically effects the positioning of the primer. The injector may also be used to eject the fired primer if the usual ejector fails. Fig. 1 is a rear elevation of the lock-mechanism in the closed position, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section showing the position of the parts before the lock-frame has completed its closing movement. The injector E is pivoted at e to a forked member E<1>, rotatably mounted in a bracket A' on the carrier A. A projection c on the box-slide C engages in a recess e<2> in the injector. Normally, the injector is held in the position shown in Fig. 1 by a spring bolt E<2>, which engages in a recess c<2> in the box-slide. When, after the unlocking rotation, the breech-screw is retracted in the carrier prior to swinging aside, the injector is rocked about its pivot e by the projection c, until the bolt E<2> is withdrawn from the recess c<2>. A spring plunger E<1Î> then rocks the forked member E laterally into the operative position, so that, on closing the breech, the injector is caused to insert the new primer. The movement of the lock-frame D to the closed position moves the injector aside again. A lip on the end of the injector acts to eject the spent primer if it is not completely ejected by the extractor.
