Patent GB-190503125-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Motor Starters.
Inventor: JONES FREDERICK JOHN
Filed: 1905-02-15
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 3125. Jones, F. J. Feb. 15. Switches.-A low-speed mechanism for operating the starting-resistance of an electric motor consists of an epicyclic train of gear-wheels, some of which may be internal wheels, provided with springs which serve to separate the wheels and to return the mechanism to the zero position when the operating - handle is released. The first gear-wheel A is fastened to the spindle G, which is fixed to the frame J mounted on the motorstarter. The driving-arm E provided with the handle U revolves upon the spindle G, the overhanging part serving to enclose the gearing. The single toothed wheel B C serves as the second and third gear-wheels, and it is loosely mounted upon the spindle L so that rotation of the arm E causes the gear-wheel B to roll round the outer edge of the wheel A. The double gear-wheel B C engages also the fourth gear-wheel D, provided with teeth slightly in excess of the number on the fixed wheel A. The double wheel B C may have its axis at any angle to the gear-wheels A, D. The system of gear-wheels forms an epicyclic train imparting a low-speed movement to the contactarm F of the resistance. A spring P is attached at one end to the contact-arm and at the other end to the base J, so as to cause the contact-arm to return to the 'off' position when released from the control of the electro-magnet which holds it in the 'on' position. In order that the spring may have free action, another spring T is arranged to cause the spindle L to move along its axis so as to disengage the wheels C, D when the handle U is not depressed. In a modification, two internallytoothed wheels and two externally-toothed wheels are employed. An eccentric E, Fig. 2, rotates upon the same axis as the spindle G, which is concentric with the first internally-toothed ring A attached to the fixed enclosing-box X. The second and third wheel B C is loosely mounted upon the eccentric E so that it may roll round inside the rings A, D, the latter of which drives the contactarm F with a slow motion. A spring T, arranged within the spindle G, causes the eccentric E to move along its axis to disengage the gear-wheel C from the wheel D when the handle is not depressed. To prevent strain of the apparatus by the contactarm being forced too hard against the end-stops, in both modifications a split brake band clipped around the boss of the gear-wheel D by the screw C is connected to the arm F by means of the pin N, the band and boss being separated by suitable material. The brake yields and the contact-arm is set free before any damage is done to the apparatus. The Provisional Specification states that the gear-wheels may have a different number of teeth in each half.
