Title: Improvements in or connected with Regulating or Controlling Devices applicable among other purposes for Controlling Dampers for Furnaces.
IPC: F23N3/02

Abstract: 15,016. Thwaites Bros., and Bullock, H. June 27. [Cognate Application, 20,470/11.] Regulating delivery by varying speed and power of motor.-In a ratchet-gearing mechanism, described in its application to the regulation of furnace dampers and mechanical stokers according to the pressure of steam in the boiler or other condition, and applicable also for the regulation of blowers, fans, compressors, pumps, &c. according to the pressure of the delivered fluid, the operation of a continuously-driven pawl on the ratchet-wheel is controlled by a Bourdon-gauge tube, thermostatic bar, or the like subjected to the controlling condition, through a mask or shield which is oscillated by the pawl arm. In the form shown in Fig. 1, reversed ratchet-wheels 6, 7 connected by suitable gearing to the dampers &c. are driven by pawls 4, 5, either or both of which may be prevented from operating by a shield 17 carried by a shaft 19 concentric with the shafts of the ratchet-wheels and the pawl arm. The shield 17 is oscillated from the pawl arm through pins 16, 35 and spring-connected arms 21 pivoted to the shaft 19 and, in the normal position shown, moves with the pawl arm in both directions, thus holding both pawls out of engagement. Should the pressure rise or fall, the Bourdon gauge tube 1 operates through connexions 27, 29 a pallet 24, one arm or other of which engages the plate 23 and prevents movement of the shield in one direction. The pawl on that side is consequently allowed to engage with its ratchet-wheel, and the damper is opened or closed according to the change of pressure &c. The pressure at which the apparatus is brought into operation can be varied by an eccentric 39 acting on the spring support 28 of the rod 27. The pallet 24 is pressed against the end of the rod 29 by a spring 30. Additional adjustable shields fixed to and moving with the ratchetwheels may be provided to prevent the entire closing of the damper, and the shield 17 may be made longer on one side than the other, so that the dampers open quickly and close slowly, or vice versa. In a modified form, Fig. 3, with a single pawl and ratchet-wheel, the shield 17 regulates the effective stroke of the pawl. The stop for the tooth 44 fixed to the shaft 19 may either be a stepped arm, as shown, or a singlearmed stepped pallet. One of the arms 21 may be fixed to the shaft. In another arrangement, with reversed ratchet - wheels and a stepped double pallet, two fixed shields on each ratchetwheel may be provided, one shorter and the other longer than the maximum stroke of the pawl. The shorter shield throws the pawl out of gear when the damper is nearly closed; but if the controlling pressure still continues to rise, the pawl acts on the teeth behind the shorter shield and closes the damper completely. In this position, further rotation of the ratchetwheel is prevented by the long shield.

Title: Improvements relating to the Driving of Vehicles by Means of Internal Combustion Engines Combined, for Recuperating Purposes, with Dynamos, Accumulator Batteries, and Motors.
Inventor: PIEPER HENRI
IPC: H02P5/685
Filed: 1912-02-09
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 3281. Pieper, H. Feb. 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power; equalizing load on prime mover. -In a petrol electric power-transmission system for vehicles, two dynamo-electric machines are mounted on the engine shaft. One machine is connected across a battery, and is adapted to run as a. generator to charge the battery, or as a motor to start or assist the engine, while the other machine normally runs as a generator to drive the propelling-motors, or as a motor driven from these motors when running regeneratively. Switches are provided by means of which the two dynamo-electric machines may be connected in series and their voltages reversed and varied to control the propelling- motors, or by which the machine connected to the propelling-motors may be replaced by the machine connected to the battery when the voltages of the two machines are equal. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, machines 2, 3 are mounted on the shaft of the engine 1, and in the position shown of the switch 17, the battery 5 and machine 2 are in one circuit; while the propelling-motor 4 and machine 3 are in a separate circuit. The field windings 11, 12, 13 of the machines 2, 3, 4 are variably excited from the battery 5, and a reversing switch 7 is placed in the circuit of the winding 12. To start the engine, the machine 2 is run as a motor, after which it runs as a generator or motor according to the load conditions. The machine 3 normally runs as a generator supplying current to the motor 4, the speed and direction of which is controlled by means of the regulating-switches 6, 9 and the reversing-switch 7. The machine 4 is also adapted to run as a generator driving the machine 3 as a motor and the machine 2 as a generator to charge the battery 5. When the switch 17 is moved into the position shown in dotted lines, the machines 2, 3 running as generators are connected in series across the motor 4, and the speed of the latter is controlled by placing the generators in opposition, reducing the voltage of the generator 3, and finally reversing and increasing the voltage of this generator by means of the switches 7, 9. In this arrangement, a switch is placed in the armature circuit of the motor 4, and a reversing switch in its field circuit. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, two interconnected switches 14, 15 are arranged so that, when the switch 15 is closed, the switch 14 is open, and vice versa. In this arrangement, when the voltage of the machine 3 is equal to that of the machine 2, the former is replaced by the latter by closing the switch 14 and opening the switch 15. The switch 17, Fig. 1, and the switches 14, 15, Fig. 3, may be operated either by hand or automatically.
