Title: A New or Improved Steam Balanced Towing Machine.
Inventor: METCALF FREDERICK
IPC: B63B21/16
Filed: 1910-07-13
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 16,759. Metcalf, F., and Carson, J. E. July 13. Winches ; tension - regulating apparatus. - A steam - balanced towing - winch is provided with a band brake to balance partially the normal load, and with automatic valve - operating mechanism which causes the line to be unwound or rewound to its normal position after slack has been hauled in, or the overloaded line has been payed out. The valve-operating mechanism comprises a pair of gear-wheels rotated at slightly different speeds by a pair of pinions 32 on the drum shaft. A cover-plate, which is connected to the inner gear-wheel, carries three double-horned projections 46 and a radially sliding projection 50, which engages a cam-slot in the outer gear-wheel. The speeds of the two wheels are so proportioned that the projection is withdrawn below the level of the wheel teeth after the inner wheel has made one complete revolution. The wheels &c. are carried by a pivoted hand-lever, which can be locked in the disengaged or engaged positions. To set: the mechanism, the gear-wheels are disengaged, and are rotated relatively to one another until the tooth 50 is in its outer position. The wheels are then locked in the engaged position with the tooth engaging the notched end of the valveoperating lever 53. When the line is paid outunder excessive strain, or slack is hauled in, the tooth moves the lever into its extreme righthand or left-hand positions, and admits more or less steam to the cylinders to meet the necessities of the case. If the movement of the rlrum continues, the tooth will have been withdrawn by the cam-slot by the time it next reaches the notch in the lever. When the overload ceases or the slack is hauled in, the motion of' the gear-wheels is reversed, and one of the horns of the nearest projection 46 first moves the rod back again into an intermediate position, and, when the line has been re-wound to its original position, the tooth completes the movement of the lever into the position for balancing the load. The projections 46 are not long enough to move the lever to its extreme position in either direction. A band brake having a spring 69, Fig. 3, at one end is mounted on the drum so as to oppose a greater resistance to paying-out of the line than to hauling it in.
