Title: Improvements in and connected with the Control of the Transmission of Power between Shafts with Variable Velocity Ratios.
Inventor: THOMAS JOHN GODFREY PARRY
IPC: H02P9/06
Filed: 1912-03-08
Granted: 1913-03-10
Abstract: 5831. T h o m a s , J. G. P. March 8. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power. - An automatic variation of the speed-ratio between a prime mover and a load shaft is made dependent on the speed of the prime mover in order that its speed may be kept practically constant, and means are provided for adjusting its normal speed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, an internalcombustion engine 1 is geared to a load shaft 2 through electromechanical power-transmission gear of the kind described in Specification 25,386/07, [Class 35, Dynamo - electric generators &c.], an additional clutch 8 being added to connect a shaft 5, normally coupled to the load shaft 2, to the shaft of a dynamoelectric machine 4. The speed-ratio between the engine 1 and load shaft 2 is varied by varying the electrical conditions of dynamo - electric machines 4, 7 by means of a controller 9, the operation of which depends on temporary variations of speed of the engine 1. The controller 9 is operated through a gear-wheel 10 and a one-tooth pinion 11 by a motor 12, which may have permanent field-magnets, and the armature of which is placed in a circuit containing a battery 14 and the armature 13 of a dynamo 13, 16. The armature 13 is driven from the engine 1, and its electromotive force is arranged to oppose that of the battery 14. The field winding 16 is energized from the battery 14, and the running speed of the prime mover is adjusted by varying the number of cells opposing the dynamo, or by varying the field excitation of the dynamo by means of a resistance 17. The master controller for varying the running speed of the prime mover is shown in Fig. 2, and consists of a resistance 12, and a rotatable arm controlling this resistance and adapted in one position to engage a contact 18. A contact 15 in the circuit of the controller motor 12 is broken when the controller is in its neutral position, and a switch 21, operable by hand when the master controller is in its first position, is placed in the circuit of the field winding 16, which circuit also contains a solenoid 20 controlling the throttle valve 19. To start the prime mover by running the machine 4 as a motor, the clutch 8 is interconnected with the controller 9 so that its elements engage only when the controller is in the top-speed position or the engine-starting position. The clutch 6 is interconnected with the controllers 9, 17, and is held out by the controller 9 when it is in the engine - starting position or the position for ' running light.'

Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 16,162. Laband, F., and Ralphs, Ltd., A. T. July 10. [Cognate Application, 16,967/12.] Work-supports.-Relates to jacks for use in slugging or nailing boots and shoes, and more particularly to jacks of the type having a vertically-movable yoke C, a block or member B mounted on the yoke so that it can move within limits in a horizontal plane, and a last-pin A having a universal ball-and-socket connexion a with the block B. According to the present invention, the connexion a is knurled, so that the ball is locked in its socket when the working pressure is applied. The block B is also connected to the machine frame by a spiral spring K &c., which tends to pull it towards the work guide, the direction of the pull being at a slight angle (about 5 degrees) towards the side from which the work is being fed. In a modification, an intermediate supporting member is interposed between the block B and the last-pin A, and has a knurled ball-and-socket connexion with each of these parts.

Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 24,598. Vicars, T., Vicars, J., and Vicars, E. L. Oct. 28. Rolling-machines.-Relates to the combination with the means for automatically raising the upper roller described in Specification 7527/10, of means for automatically stopping the machine as the roller is raised. The rollers are driven in either direction through pulleys m, n, one of which is thrown into engagement by a clutch l operated by a lever k connected through a lever o to starting- levers p. The lever k is also connected to a lever pivoted at h and having arms g, g', one of which is raised above the other, as shown in dotted lines, when the machine is running. When the catches f are withdrawn from the bearings of the upper roller, the counterweight a, or a bar connected to the springs controlling the bearings, drops on to the levers g, g<1>, and depresses the higher lever until they are both at the same level, thereby turning the clutch l into the central, disengaged, position. Instead of a clutch, the lever k may operate a beltshifter. For normal adjustment of the rollers, power gearing is employed, consisting of a belt q driving a shaft r which, through a clutch t, operates a shaft s controlling the screws e either directly or through bevel - gearing u. According to the Provisional Specification, friction gearing may be employed.

Abstract: 22,256. Soc. Anon. pour l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs Westinghouse Leblanc. Oct. 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Spring supports.- The bearings of highspeed shafts of turbines &c. are supported on springs to enable the shaft to select its own axis of rotation, and means are provided for clamping one or more bearings, automatically or otherwise, when the shaft is passing through its critical speeds. The bearing b, Fig. 4, is supported by three adjustable springs c. Between the springs, and spaced at angles of 120‹, are three abutments m, n, p, one or all of which can be moved radially to clamp the bearing by screws r, locked by nuts s. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which three abutments p are moved simultaneously by the rotation of two plates v, which have eccentric slots u engaging pins t on both sides of the abutments p. The plates may be rotated by means of a handle x, or automatically by means of a speed - measuring device i<1>, Fig. 8. The centrifugal weights operate a double valve e<1>, f<1> admitting a fluid under pressure to a cylinder b<1> containing a spring-pressed piston a<1>, which actuates the plates by means of a toothed sector y and rack z. In the position shown, the bearing is clamped; at a higher speed the valves fall, shutting off the pressure fluid, the piston moves to the left and the bearing is released. The shaft may be provided with automatic balancing- devices such as are described in Specifications 8527/12, and 16,809/12, and 16,949/12, [both in Class 23, Centrifugal machines &c.].

Abstract: 9327. Willett, H. W. M. April 15. Moving-chamber apparatus; varying quantity measured in.-In rotary bucket apparatus of the noria type, the buckets discharge into an adjustable trough which delivers a portion only to the draw-off pipe, the quantity varying with the adjustment. The buckets h, Fig. 1, are fixed to the arms of the noria b and discharge into an arched trough f having at one end a spout i for delivering into the draw-off funnel d, and at the other end an opening whereby the unwanted portion of the bucket load passes to the supply reservoir a. Adjustment of the trough is effected by means of a screw and nut n, m and link-work connected therewith. The arched trough may be replaced by a straight one having a central hump, and it may be so pivoted that the spout cannot deliver outside the funnel or that a connexion to the draw-off pipe always exists, the funnel being unnecessary. In other modifications, the trough may be stationary or slidable with regard to a pivoted carrier. The apparatus is applicable for feeding liquid fuel to the carburettor of petrol-gas generators, but may be used also for pulverulent materials, grain, small goods, &c.
