Title: Improved Means for Simultaneously Starting and Stopping a Number of Motors.
Inventor: WATSON WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-10-24
Granted: 1903-09-03
Abstract: 23,236. Watson, W., and Preece, E. Oct. 24. Motors, controlling.-Relates to an arrangement for starting and stopping a number of motors simultaneously. The shunt fields of all the motors are supplied at starting from an auxiliary source, such as a generator or battery, through an auxiliary conductor. Subsequently the auxiliary source is disconnected, and the motors supplied from the main generator. In the diagram, G is the main generator, AG an auxiliary generator, and C the additional conductor. In starting, the generator AG is driven up to the voltage required, the switch K is then closed, and the arm of the switch I placed on the contact 2. The current then flows through the conductor C and the motor fields. The generator G is then started, and supplies current to the armatures M through the conductors A, B and rheostat R. When the motors have speeded up, the switch arm I is moved on to the contact 1, being held there by the electromagnet L as long as the generator G supplies current. The supplementary generator is entirely cut off by opening the switch K. On stopping the generator G, the arm of the switch I falls back on to the contact 2.

Granted: 1904-05-28
Abstract: 12,327. Lane, E. J. May 29. Ironing-machines.- In a machine, shown in Fig. 1, for drying and ironing collars, cuffs, and other articles while they are in a wet starched state, the articles are pressed against a gas-heated rotary cylinder c for a portion of a revolution by means of a endless belt q. The cylinder is grooved or plain, but, preferably, grooved to allow free escape of moisture from the articles being dried or ironed, and is mounted to overhang the frame in bearings in a sleeve formed with a casting secured to a hollow metal pillar a. The cylinder is driven by toothed gearing from the belt-driven pulley w, the boss of which is formed with a pinion gearing with a wheel on the cylinder spindle. The belt q is supported on hollow rollers d, e, the shafts of which rotate in sleeves and are driven by toothed gearing from the cylinder shaft, the belt having a slightly greater or less velocity than the peripheral velocity of the cylinder in order to prevent the articles from sticking to the cylinder or belt. The tension roller p is supported in a vertically-moving frame r, which is provided with a rack gearing with a pinion t on a spindle provided with an attached weighted lever v. In an alternative arrangement, shown in Fig. 4, the roller p is carried in a pivoted frame M, so that, when the belt moves sideways the consequent side movement of the roller actuates a belt fork P, by means of which the belt is returned to its normal position. A safety-device, for stopping the machine in the event of an attendant's fingers being caught in feeding the articles, comprises a strip of sheet metal A, which is forced towards the cylinder by the fingers. The strip is connected by arms B to the spindle C of a trip-lever E, which supports, by means of trip-pieces K, F, a lever G, supported on the roller shaft j. The driving-pulley w is carried on a short arm g<1> of the lever G, which is drawn down by a spring J, so that when the lever G is released, the pinion on the boss of the pulley w passes out of engagement with the gear wheel on the cylinder spindle, and the machine is stopped. To start the machine, the lever G is raised by a handle L against the action of the spring J. The machine may be stopped, when required, by pressing the strip A.
