Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Controlling the Speed of a Moving Body and its application to Lifts, Hoists or other Elevators.
Inventor: GAZAGNAIRE ADOLPHE
IPC: B66B1/12
Filed: 1912-03-30
Granted: 1913-03-31
Abstract: 7771. Gazagnaire, A. April 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Controlling variable-speed gearing. - Relates to a system for controlling the displacements of a movable body, for example the cage of an electric lift, in which the variations of speed imparted to it are dependent on the course travelled through and independent of the time taken, characterized in that a progressively variable change-speed gear is interposed between the driving and driven mechanism actuating the lift, the variations in speed being controlled by a transforming-mechanism dependent on the movement of the engine. In the example shown in Figs. 1 and 3, a friction change-speed gear c is introduced between the driving-system a and the driven system. The change-speed gear is actuated from the engine a by a transforming-mechanism d, o, p. Metal disks g, h fitted with leather rims are mounted on the driving and driven shafts e, f. These disks engage with friction plates i mounted in bearings j, which slide on guides s. A spring device (not shown) keeps the plates i pressed against the disks g, c. The sliding bearings j are connected by rods and cranks to the shaft of the worm-wheel n, which is driven through reducing- gear k, a clutch l, and a worm m from the engine shaft. The arrangement works as follows. A press-button in the cage switches on the engine a, while at the same time the engine and winch brakes are freed. The engine starts under no load, and the clutch l is then connected up, and the lift started. When the normal speed is reached, a control on the lift at the desired height throws out the clutch l. Another contact puts it in again at the required moment, and the speed is diminished until the lowest speed is attained, whereupon the current is cut off, the clutch l is disengaged, and the brakes are put on. The driving of the reducing-gearing k can be effected by an auxiliary engine.

Abstract: 20,551. Maher, D. Sept. 11. Direct gas-pressure apparatus, non-automatic.- In apparatus for drawing- off beer &c. by gas pressure, a drip cup is provided beneath the serving-tap, and is fitted with a receptacle and a two-position valve device, in one position of which liquid is allowed to flow from the drip cup to the receptacle and displace air therefrom, while in the other position the receptacle is placed in communication w i t h a source of gas pressure, and the liquid therein is forced to the serving-tap. To ensure that the liquid flowing from the serving- tap shall consist mainly of liquid from the barrel, the pipe leading from the drip receptacle is of small bore. A float valve in the receptacle prevents complete emptying. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a four-way valve 15 is fitted between the drip cup 18 and the receptacle 10. In one position, the l i q u i d in the drip cup can flow through a passage 3 into the receptacle, expelling air through a passage 1, while in the other position the liquid in the receptacle is forced through a pipe 21 and passage 4 into the delivery pipe 6 by compressed air supplied through a passage 2 from the source of air pressure used for raising the liquid from the barrel beneath. A float valve 22 closes the pipe 21 when the liquid level falls. The receptacle 10 may be hermetically closed by a screw-down lid having picking 12 engaging with a rounded edge of the receptacle.

Granted: 1915-05-06
Abstract: 17,141. Gibbin, A. W. July 20. Variable-speed and reversing ratchet gearing comprises a number of slotted links r which are adapted to be oscillated by crank-pins n, the distance of which from their axes h can be adjusted. The pins n reside in slots f<1> in spurwheels f, which turn about the stud-axles h and are constantly driven from a pinion e fast on a driving-shaft a. The pins n are supported upon eccentrics m, which are secured to spurwheels m' meshing with a central pinion s. The wheels m<1> normally turn with the wheels f, and in changing speed, the wheels m' are turned relatively to the wheels f in order to alter the eccentricity of the pins n, and so the throw of the arms r. This relative movement is effected by turning the pinion s relatively to the pinion e. For this purpose, a pin t carried by a collar t' passes through a helical slot s<2> in the boss s<1> of the pinion s and into an axial slot in the shaft a. To vary the speed, the collar i<1> is slid axially. For driving a shaft b in either direction, two loose ratchet-wheels d, d' are employed, which carry clutch members x, y adapted to engage members x<1>, y' fast on the shaft. The wheels d, d' are normally driven in opposite directions by oppositely-acting spring pawls p, p' carried by the links r The wheels d, d<1> may be slid axially to effect reversal by a rod v passing through a sleeve v<1>, which operates the collar t<1>.
