Granted: 1901-05-11
Abstract: 14,056. Lane, F. L., and Rainforth, W. Aug. 4. Stop gear.-Relates to safety devices for stopping pumping-engines, motors, or other machines as soon as they commence to race, so as to prevent damage and breakdown. For this purpose, a weight is held in an inoperative position on a reciprocating part, so long as the speed is normal, which assumes a position in which it acts as a tappet when the speed becomes excessive. Fig. 1 shows the application of the invention to a horizontal pumping- engine. In this, 1 is the pump barrel, 2 and 3 the steam cylinders, and 4 the steam pipe. On the crosshead 5 is mounted a weighted lever 7 with an adjustable coiled spring about the axis, and a pawl for preventing movement except in one direction. If the speed of reciprocation becomes excessive, the spring yields, and the lever 7 assumes a position in which it strikes the stop lever 20<b> and releases the weighted lever 19, whereby through the line 26 the stop valve 25 is closed. A form of the invention suitable for vertical pumping-engines is also shown. In other modifications, the lever may be in the form of a flexible spring, or the weight may be a sliding weight, or, in place of a spring, the connection may be made by a yielding piece or seal of soft metal.
