Abstract: 877,211. Control of several A.C. motors. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. March 3, 1958 [March 15, 1957], No. 8548/57. Class 38 (3). A suction roller 8a is coupled to a split-phase induction motor 27 for winding-on or unwinding magnetic tape from a spool 8 driven by motor 26. When the spool 8 is being rotated in the winding direction, the motor 27 is driven by the roller 8a and its starting winding is energized from source 28 so that a voltage is induced in the running winding which, upon the speed of the split-phase motor reaching a predetermined value, operates relay 30 to de-energize motor 26. This prevents the linear speed of the tape from becoming excessive as the diameter of the tape on the spool 8 increases. The winding-operation of the motor 26 is initiated by closure of switch 19 due to lateral pressure of the tape in compartment 10 of bin 6, a switch 22 being closed when the lower part of compartment 11 is filled with tape so as to enable motor 26 to remove tape from the compartment 11. When the roller 8a is required to unwind tape from spool 8 into the compartment 11, switch 18 is closed and motor 27 is fully energized. At the same time, relay 30 is energized to disconnect the motor 26. When the switch 18 opens, the motor 26 is energized through resistor 35, and a portion of tape is kept taut between roller 8a and spool 8, a switch 34 opening to de-energize the motor 26 if the roller 8a is caused to rotate in a direction opposite to that obtained when the motor 27 is fully energized. A switch 40 operates to reverse the direction of the tape, the filling and emptying of bin 7 being similar to that of bin 6. Specifications 877,209 and 877,210 are referred to.

Filed: 1953-03-30
Abstract: 767,653. Reversible generators for coke ovens. KOPPERS GES., H. March 30, 1953 [April 2, 1952], No. 8765/53. Class 64(1) During the reversal of regenerative horizontal coke-oven batteries, the supply of lean combustion gas to one set of regenerators is cut off, and waste gas is diverted from the chimney to those regenerators to displace the combustion gas left in them into the combustion spaces of the ovens, where it is burnt, before the reversal sequence is completed. Reversing :valves such as 13 and 17 respectively control the supply of lean gas and air to pairs of regenerators connected to opposite ends of the ovens 1, and reversing valves such as 16a control the flow of waste gas from the regenerators to flues 4, 5 These flues are interconnected by flues 6, 7 and communicate with chimney outlet 8. Upon reversal after the gas and air have been supplied to the end 3 of the ovens 1 and waste gas withdrawn at the end 2. the waste gas valves 16a first begin to open. the gas valves 13 and a' valve 29 in the flue 4 are closed, and a fan 30 is started to impel the waste gas from the flue 4 to the flue 5 and thence through the valves 16a into the regenerators at the end 3. to drive the gas and air from the regenerators at that end into the combustion spaces of the ovens. Subsequently, the fan 30 is stopped and a valve 29a between the flues 5 and 7 is opened. At the end 3, the air valves 17 are closed, and opening of the waste gas valves 16a is completed; at the end 4 the waste gas valves are closed and the lean gas and air valves are. opened. At the next reversal, the fan 30a is started and the valve 29a is closed, so that the waste gas is impelled from the flue 5 to the flue 4. The valves are operated by the engagement of levers 19 with clamps on rods, ropes or chains such as 12, 15 guided by pulleys or bell-cranks and actuated by a reversing machine.
