Title: Improvements in Door-locks.
Inventor: KELLER ALFRED
IPC: E05B55/06
Filed: 1909-09-22
Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 21,641. Keller, A. Sept. 22. Locking sliding latches.-Relates to a latchlock of the type in which the bolt is adapted to be shot by a key beyond its latching position, and be then locked by a tumbler, which also serves to couple the bolt to the follower when unlocked. The bolt 3 and tumbler 5 are supported and guided in the end walls of the casing, guiding-pins and lugs within the casing being thereby dispensed with. The tumbler has a lug 10 for co-operating with a corresponding lug 11 on the bolt, and is actuated by the follower arm 4<1> engaging a recess 5<2> therein. The edges of the recess 5<2> are arranged to jam the follower arm after a certain rotation to limit the backward movement of the bolt and tumbler, the forward movement thereof being limited by the end of the tumbler bearing against the follower. The follower arm may engage rollers on the tumbler 5 instead of the recess 5<2> therein. When the key has shot the bolt, the lug 10 on the tumbler falls behind the lug 11 and prevents the complete withdrawal of the bolt until the tumbler is raised by the proper key. An extra tumbler, pivoted on the casing and adapted to engage the lug 11 on the bolt, may be provided to lock the bolt in its fully-shot position, such tumbler being disengaged by the tumbler 5 when this is raised by the key to release the bolt. Lock-mechanism, lever and tumbler type.-A screw 12 is mounted on the top of the lever 5, and can be adjusted so that, by coacting with the top wall of the casing, the use of a key with too long a bit is prevented. In a modification, the screw 12 is mounted in the casing.

Abstract: 1201. Saino, F. L., Lynch, D. M., Dunbar, W. F., and Weatherford, J. H. Jan. 17. F i r e - p r o o f shutters are constructed of a sheetmetal wall 1 on the fire side, and a rear wall composed of a sheet 2 of fire - resisting material and sheet metal 3, the front and rear walls being spaced apart by washers 10 on the rivets 8 to form an air space 33, while the sheet 3 is built up of horizontal sections 3<a>, 3<b>, &c. connected together by rivets 4 passing through slots 5 so as to allow for unequal expansion of the two sides of the shutter. The rivets 9 securing the front and rear walls at the sides are grouped in the middle of the horizontal sections of the rear wall, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the free movement of the upper and lower edges of the sections is not interfered with. The shutter is stiffened by channel members 12 at the sides, a member 31 at the top, and an angle strip 32 at the bottom. The stiffening-members are in sections telescopically connected together to allow for unequal expansion, and the sections of the side members 12 are held in alinement by bars 14, which are kept in place by bolts 13 passing through slots in the sections, so that relative movement of the section of the channel 12 is allowed. The shutter is further strengthened at the side by bars 11 secured between the wall 1, 3 by the rivets 9. The channels 12 are protected from heat by the overlapping portions of the wall 1 and refractory material 2. The shutter is hung from rollers 24, Fig. 8, running on a rail 17, a hooked member 22 engaging underneath the rail to prevent the shutter from leaving the opening to be protected if the rollers 24 should be lifted off the rail 17 by expansion of the shutter. The shutter is wedged against the frame by the engagement of a wedge surface 26<a>, Figs. 1 and 10, on the shutter with a fixed roller 25, and also by a hook 28 on the shutter frame engaging with slots in the shutter. The metal sheets 1, 3 may be corrugated in directions at right-angles to one another.

Title: Improvements in Controlling Apparatus for Electrical Lifts.
IPC: B66B1/46
Filed: 1911-01-18
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 1335. Penrose & Co., A. W., and Barlow, F. Jan. 18. Electric equipment electric pushbutton systems.- Relates to control apparatus for electric lifts and more especially to the weighted switch member, by which the cage is stopped, and consists in ensuring the release of the switch member when current is cut off from its solenoid, by causing a momentary current in the reverse direction to pass through the solenoid. Fig. 1 shows the application of the invention in its simplest form to a car switch. The controller is of the usual drum type and carries two sets of contacts a, b, c, d, e, f g h i j, either set adapted to engage fixed contacts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for the motor and the brake solenoid. A solenoid of the armature type with reversing windings actuates the controller, and is connected to contacts 6, 8. The car switch has ' up' and 'down' contacts U, D, and also a neutral contact N. Extra contacts l, m, k, and 7 are provided, of which l, k are engaged alternately by a switch arm n pivoted on the contact m. The contact N is connected to the terminal 7. If the car switch is moved from D to N, the arm n being as shown in dotted lines, a momentary current passes from the main Q, through the pivot contact O and the 'up' winding of the solenoid to the main P. This gives a momentary ' pulse' to the controller, breaking contact at l and stopping the motor. A lead m<1> connected with the contact m enables the automatic actuation of the limit switches to effect the same purpose. In a modification, the invention is applied to a push-button lift operated by an alternating-current motor. In this form, the brake solenoid is dispensed with, and a mechanical brake actuated by a cam on the controller spindle is fitted.
