Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 26,267. Soc. Anon. des Etablissements Delaunay-Belleville. July 19, [Convention date]. [Addition to 19,679/13.] C l u t c h e s and speedvarying mechanism.-Relates to the type of gear described in the parent Specification, for actuating the controlling-device of an hydraulic transmission gear. The conical roller 2, Fig. 1, is continuously rotated by the main s h a f t 5 through worm gearing 3. The controlling - spindle 19 operated by a hand-wheel 24, Fig. 2, carries conical plates 13, 14, either of which may be brought intofrictional engagement with the roller 2, thus determining the direction of rotation of the operating- screw of the hydraulic gear through the medium of the pinions 17, 18. The rotation of either plate 13 or 14 has the effect of withdrawing it from engagement with the roller 2 by movement along a screwed spindle 20, so that further rotation of the hand-wheel 24 is necessary to cause further movement of the operating-screw of the gear. The device may be manually operated by sliding a clutch 25<1>, which is mounted on a sleeve, into engagement with a member 17<1> carried by the pinion 17, this being effected by the system of rods 26, 28, 29, 30. A safety device for preventing the hand-wheel 24 from being turned too far in either direction consists of a nut 33 sliding in a cylinder 34. When the nut reaches either of two stops 35, 36, further rotation of the spindle 19 is prevented.

Abstract: 27,374. Lack, C. T. Nov. 27. Perforating or dividing by fusion. - In an oxy - acetylene or like apparatus for severing metals, the wheeled carriage supporting the blowpipe is moved along the curved or other track by a m o t o r mounted on the carriage. The carriage a in the form shown, is traversed by an electric motor c which by reduction gearing drives a disk g engaging a track in the surface of the plate h. The other side of the carriage is supported by a vertically adjustable wheel c and the front of the carriage by a central swivel wheel d, engaging corresponding tracks in the plate h. The reduction gearing may consist of a worm f on the motor shaft engaging a worm wheel on a transverse shaft which is connected by worm gear to the shaft f<3>, through which the shaft carrying the disk g is driven by further worm gear. The blowpipe j is vertically adjustable in a member i secured to the carriage, and to the horizontal portion k thereof is attached a clamp l for supporting a vertically adjustable rod l<1> having at one end a centre l<3> for circular cutting and a wheel l<2> for straight or curved work. When cutting circles, the pipe k is arranged at rightangles to the disk g and the wheel c removed. The radius is adjusted by moving the rod l along the tube k, which may be provided in sections or replaced by a tube of different length to suit the radius of the cut. The inclination of the cut may be varied by adjusting the wheel c vertically. The motor or other parts may be protected from injury by a guardplate n.

Abstract: 4764. Graum³ller, H., and Piechatzek., [Firm of]. Feb. 24. Self-sustaining gear.-In a combined brake and driving- connexion for hoisting-devices, in which a pair of blocks in a brake drum rotatable only in the lifting direction are engaged by a cam on the shaft of the winding-drum, such cam comprises two approximately parallel surfaces engaging convex surfaces on the blocks, so that a rolling- off action takes place at the points of contact, and the leverage of the turning- moment on the shaft remains constant. In the form shown in Fig. 1, parallel cam-surfaces 3, 4 formed on the winding-shaft 5 engage convex surfaces on a pair of blocks 6, 7 mounted in a brake drum 8 held by a pawl 9. The 'driving-member 2, mounted loosely on the shaft, is formed with a projection 12 engaging between curved surfaces 13, 14 on the blocks. When the member 2 is rotated clockwise for lifting, the projection 12 bears against the surface 13 and forces the blocks against the surfaces 3, 4 so as to rotate the shaft. When the member 2 is moved in the reverse direction, the blocks are loosened to allow lowering of the load, and the drum 8 is held by the pawl to give a braking action. In a modification, the projection 12 is replaced by a cam 16, Fig. 3, pivoted at 15 to the member 2 and bearing on the surfaces 17, 18 of the blocks in such a. way that, when the member 2 is moved in the lifting direction, the cam forces the blocks apart, but loosens the blocks during lowering. With this form, the load may be held suspended at any position by arresting the lifting action and pulling the member 2 in the lifting sense by a control chain, and in a similar way the braking during lowering may be regulated.
