Page four ENERGY ELEVATOR COMPANY Energy Dumbwaiter Capacity 75 lbs. Type A -115 A PERFECT RESIDENCE DUMBWAITER Automatic Lock, Anti-friction Roller Bearings, Wire Hoist Rope Adjustable Guide Shoes, Exposed Weights ""THE machine is of the automatic type, which securely 1 sustains the car at any point w ithout the use of lines or cords. The shaft is polished turned steel, revolving on roller bearings, and is mounted in an iron frame containing the entire mechanism, including the wheels for deflecting the hoist rope. All parts are accurately bored and carefully fitted, resulting in a perfect ma¬ chine. The car is well-seasoned hardwood, finished with filler and varnish, and equipped with adjustable guide shoes. The top and bottom are gained into the sides and bound securely with bolts. A standard size car is 24" wide, 20" deep, and 3 o" high, with 2 compartments, 14" and / 2". The weight is in sections to secure accurate adjust¬ ment; it travels in open guides so as to be of easy access, and is heavier than the car to assist in lifting the load. The operating rope is hemp, free from splinters, and the hoist rope is flexible steel cable, fitted with the neces¬ sary attachments to connect it to the car and weight. The guides consist of a maple strip on one side, and yellow pine runs on the opposite side, arranged to guide both the car and the weight. This conserves space in the shaft, eliminates the expense of a weight box and insures free and quiet operation.

Type A —152 '“THIS type of dumbwaiter is coming into 1 general use for apartments, where its exclusive features appeal to both owner and tenant. It requires no space in the interior, as the machine and car are both placed outside, and tradesmen can serve the upper tenants without entering the building. The machine, which is self-retaining, is protected from weather exposure by a gal¬ vanized iron hood of neat design. The car is hardwood, suspended by a flexible steel cable, and runs on galvanized iron pipes, one of which contains the bal¬ ance weight. A standard size car is 24" wide, 20" deep, and 40" high, with two compartments, 14" and 12". Metal cars can be substituted for hard wood at an additional price given upon- application.

HEAVY DUTY MACHINE Page eleven ENERGY ELEVATOR COMPANY Little Giant Dumbwaiter or Trunk Lift Capacity 300 lbs. Type B 1 '"PHIS lift is constructed on the same principle as the Energy dumbwaiter, with the same type of automatic brake, but is double geared and of heavier construction, making it suitable for handling supplies in Apartments, Laundries, Hotels and Factories. Its particular field is to convey trunks to the store room of a residence, the car being of a size to receive the largest trunk. The machine is entirely contained in an iron frame, is auto¬ matic in action, and securely sustains the car at any point with¬ out the use of lines or cords. It has spur gearing cast from machine-cut patterns, and the shafts are turned steel, revolving on anti-friction bearings. The car is well-seasoned hardwood, with adjustable guide shoes, and is well braced with irons and reinforced with angles where necessary to make it strong and rigid. It is enclosed on the back, and on the sides back of the stiles, with yellow pine fencing, 18" high. This car can be made any size up to 2 ft. 6 in. wide by j ft. 6 in. deep (outside measurements) and 4 ft. o in. under the headbeam. The weight is in cast iron sections on a wrought iron bar, and is heavier than the car to assist in lifting the load. The hoist rope is cast steel cable, and the operating rope is hemp, free from splinters. The guide runs are hard white maple, machined to fit the guides on the car, and bored and countersunk for screws.

PLAN OF HATCH Pane twelve L ENERGY ELEVATOR COMPANY Little Beauty Dumbwaiter Capacity 25 lbs. Type LA 1 A DAPTED for light, quick service, this dumbwaiter is es¬ pecially suitable where ornamental effects are desired, as in restaurants, offices, hotels or stores—the bright, glistening brass work and artistic design producing striking results. The operating gear consists of hemp rope passing over iron wheels, one at the top, the other at the bottom. These wheels are mounted in iron stands; they turn on roller bearings and have guards to prevent the rope from jumping off. A self¬ holding brake, which may be applied or released by one line from any floor, securely sustains the car, loaded or empty, at any point. By means of this brake, a load descends without the operator holding the car rope, the speed being controlled by the brake line; this prevents burning the hands and getting splinters from the rope. A hardwood panelled cabinet encloses the top wheel and brake, and can be finished to match the surrounding woodwork, or the car, as preferred. If no finish is specified, both the car and top cabinet will be made in golden oak. The car is made of highly finished hardwood trays, spaced with square brass tubes, and has reinforced corners. It is fitted with adjustable brass guide shoes, polished brass rope connec¬ tions, and, on the bottom, rubber bumpers. If desired, the car can be made accessible from both the front and back. Two compartments is the maximum for this dumbwaiter, more than this is likely to be too heavy, and the counterweight will be too long to get full travel in the tube. The counterweight is molded from lead into a steel pipe that fits inside the tube in which it operates; it is a little heavier than the car. A steel coil spring bumper is provided for this weight. The operating rope is ys" hemp, fitted with the necessary connections to attach it to the car and the weight. The guides consist of two polished brass tubes, with flanges at the top and bottom to fasten them in position, and inter¬ mediate clamps for fastening at the floor line. One of the brass guides is equipped with a mouthpiece and whistle at each story, making a perfect speaking tube; these can be placed either on the right or left side.

Speakers are not used, as the outside tubes are needed for the balance weights, while the middle tube is not the right place for them. If a speaker is required, it is customary to run a special pipe in the corner of the hatch. Two compartments are the maximum for this dumb¬ waiter; more than this is likely to be too heavy, and the counterweight will be too long to get full travel in the tube.

Type LA —2 1 ""THIS is the quickest acting hand power dumbwaiter 1 that can be made. Since there is no multiplication of power, there is no loss of speed. It is adapted for loads not exceeding 25 lbs., and especially suited for rapid work and long runs. The wheels are cast from metal patterns and revolve noiselessly on steel roller bearings, which do not require any lubricant. They are mounted in iron stands, which are securely guarded to prevent the rope from jumping off, and can be easily and quickly placed in position. The car is well seasoned hardwood, finished with filler and varnish, and equipped with adjustable guide shoes. The top and bottom are gained into the sides and bound securely with bolts. It is controlled by a self holding brake that is applied or released by one line from any floor, safely sus¬ taining the car, loaded or empty, at any point. By means of this brake, a load descends without the operator holding the car rope, the speed being controlled by the brake line. This dumbwaiter does not require a weight box, the weight being placed inside the well, taking up no extra room. It is always accessible for adjustment and runs smoothly between guides, thus avoiding the necessity and expense of double lining the shaft from top to bottom.

Type D— 46 yHIS is a general utility lift for 1 service between the basement and the first floor. The illustration shows it arranged to carry logs to an open hearth, and the cabinet into which it rises may be used as a seat or table. Its uses embrace the removing of ashes, carrying coal and wood to the upper floor, and similar light freight serv¬ ice. Many confectioners find it ideal for lifting ice cream churns, and we believe it is one of the most efficient lifts made for that purpose. The machine is self retaining and will automatically hold anywhere under a load. The car may be open on either the top or front, as preferred, or it can be made in flat platform shape where that would be better adapted to the work required.

Type H 1 1-1 j, n 0 Page eig "^pHlS dumbwaiter, without a counter¬ weight, has a capacity of 100 lbs. with a 1 o h.p. motor, and 200 lbs. with a 1 h.p. motor, both at a speed of 40 feet a minute. When counterbalanced it has a capacity of 400 lbs. at 25 feet a minute, and can be used as a house lift for trunks and light passenger service. It is connected direct to the motor by a steel chain belt, which insures a positive drive without slipping. The machine has worm and worm wheel cut from solid blanks, and to run in oil protect them from dust, and insure the perfect lubrication of the vital parts. It is further equipped with phosphor bronze bearings and ball thrusts on both ends. The automatic band brake will easily sustain a full load; it i s quick in action, operates without jar or vibration, and so arranged that it automatically takes up the wear. The automatic stop placed on the drum shaft stops the car at the top and bottom floors. It is always reliable and acts on the shifting cable independently of the operator. The winding drum is machine-grooved to secure a smooth sur¬ face for the cables, and thereby lengthen their time of service. The car is hardwood, iron reinforced, with adjustable guide shoes and a sure grip safety device. It can be made either plat¬ form or cabinet style, as desired. A standard size car is 36" wide, 24" deep, 36" high; and has two compartments, id" x ; 6 ". The controller cable, passing from top to bottom inside the hatchway, starts and stops the dumbwaiter from any floor, by a short pull of a few inches. The hoist cable has a test strength of ten times the rated capa¬ city of the dumbwaiter. The guide runs are hard white maple, machined to fit the guides on the car. The motor is the reversible type, especially made for dumb¬ waiter service. The drum reverse switch shuts off the motor at the top and bottom stops. The steel chain belt is the high-grade quiet kind that never slips, and will last a life time.
