Abstract: 16,006. Norman, G. H. July 10. Revolving -cylinder pumps. - In hydraulic transmission gear, of the type in which there are two sets of revolving cylinders acting as pump and motor, the sets are constructed of different maximum capacities so that a reversed drive can be obtained. The outer casing 1, Fig. 2, carrying the two sets of cylinders, is rotated by the driving - shaft 10 through the flange 12 and web 13. A fixed tube 14, carrying a sleeve 16 with a wormwheel 17<a>, is provided with a ball bearing 15, the sleeve being provided with a ball bearing 19 for its enlargement 18. Ball bearings 20, 21 are provided for the driven shaft 11. The two sets of cylinders A, D act normally as pump and motor cylinders respectively, the cylinders A being of smaller diameter than the cylinders D. The ends of the connecting- rods 23 fit against a ball bearing 24 mounted on a variable - throw eccentric 25. This eccentric is mounted on an eccentric portion 14<a> of the tube 14 and is connected to the disk 18 by cranked links 27. The two eccentrics are of equal throw, so that by rotating 25 by means of worm gearing 17, 17<a> the stroke of the pistons 22 may be varied from zero to a maximum. The fluid is controlled by balanced piston valves, one of which, M, is shown in Fig. 3. These are operated from the eccentrics 34, 35, Fig. 2, by means of the straps and rods 36, Fig. 2, links 37, rockshafts 38, and links 39,40. The eccentric 34 for the cylinders A is keyed on the driven shaft 11, and the eccentric 35 is maintained in quadrature with the eccentric 25 by means of a supplementary shaft and chain gear operated by the worm 17. Fluid which leaks into the crank case is returned through valves 40<a> by centrifugal force. A bypass valve between the pump and motor elements consists of the slide 41, operated by lever 42, through a fork 52 which bears against the sliding disk 50, a fork 51, and links 47, 46, 43. In a modification, the variable-throw eccentric is arranged to overhang the supporting framework, and the inner fixed portion is rigidly held in position by means constituting a balanced couple.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Buffer Machines used in connection with Electrical Circuits.
IPC: H02J3/30
Filed: 1911-11-07
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 24,744. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. Nov. 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Equalizing load on generators.-A buffer machine is energized by the varying load current and by the supply mains current, in order that its action may continue to low speeds and, consequently, the size of the fly-wheel be decreased. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the buffer machine d is provided with a field winding k carrying the varying load current, and a field winding n, the circuit of which includes a variable resistance r. The resistance r is controlled by an auxiliary motor a, the direction of rotation of which is governed by a current relay i. When the load current increases above the normal, the action of the field winding k causes the machine d to act as a generator, and its speed consequently decreases. When the speed has decreased to a particular value, the increase of current in the supply main causes the relay i and motor a to increase the current in the field winding n, thereby causing the machine d to continue to act as a generator. In the alternating-current arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the buffer machine d is controlled by transformers k<1>, r'. The transformer k<1> has three separate sets of windings w<1>, w<2>, w<3>, the magnetizing action of the windings w<2>, w<3> being normally zero, while the action of the load current in the windings w<1> varies the voltages applied to the commutator brushes and stator terminals of the machine d in such a manner that this machine runs as a generator when the load current is increased, and after an interval of time the ratio of transformation of the transformer r<1> is varied to increase further the voltage applied to the brushes of the machine d, thereby producing a further diminution in the speed of this machine. When the load current decreases, the machine d speeds up.
