Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrical Signalling or Indicating Apparatus especially applicable for Signalling Orders and Numerical Data.
Inventor: GRAHAM EDWARD ALFRED
IPC: G08B5/22
Filed: 1916-08-04
Abstract: 125,454. Graham, E. A. Aug. 4, 1916. Motors with unwound iron armatures.-Relates to the receiver motors of signalling systems in which a magnetic armature is rotated step by step in synchronism with a transmitting-switch by successively energizing a series of pairs or sets of magnets surrounding the armature, and consists in employing U-shaped magnets with radial poles and axially-placed yokes, the successive magnets having their poles in staggered relationship; the armature pole-faces are wide enough both axially and circumferentially to form a magnetic bridge between two adjacent magnets when the armature is in a position intermediate between two field poles. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the receiver motor comprises an armature core 6 with its central part of magnetic or non-magnetic material, and with magnetic pole-pieces 6<d>, 6<e>, the whole being mounted on pins 6<a>, 6<b>, in end plates 7, 8 secured to a casting 4. Pails of radial holes 4<a> arranged in staggered relationship at each end of the casting 4, receive the pole-pieces of a series of removable electro-magnets 1, 1<a>, 2, 2<a>, 3, 3<a>, each of which is displaced axially relatively to its neighbours. The armature pole-pieces 6<d>, 6<e>, are long enough axially to cover both series of field poles, and are wide enough in a circumferential direction to bridge two adjacent field poles when in an intermediate position. Each magnet coil is wound in series with the opposite coil, and the pairs of coils are connected bv three wires and a return wire to a commutator transmitting- switch, which in its rotation is arranged to energize first coils 1, 1<a>, then coils 1, 1<a>, 2, 2a, then coils 2, 2<a>, and so on. The armature thus has twelve positions for each revolution. In an intermediate position of the armature, say when coils 1, 1<a>, 2, 2<a>, are energized, a magnetic circuit is formed through the cores and pole-pieces of the magnets 1, 2<a>, and the upper armature polefaces, and a similar magnetic circuit is formed through the magnets 1, 2<a>, and the lower armature pole-faces. In another form shown in Fig. 14, twelve magnets are arranged around the armature in groups of four. 90‹ apart, and the coils of each group are wound in series. The armature has four pole-faces at each end of its axis, the pole-faces being arranged at the ends of arms at right-angles to each other, thus giving twentyfour positions for the armature. In a. further modification, shown in Fig. 18, the magnet coils are placed on radial extensions of the pole-pieces, instead of on the yoke. Specifications 22336/02, 28254/04, 4422/06, 8346/08, and 28180/10, [Class 40 (i), Electric signalling systems &c.], ate referred to.

Patent GB-117792-A (GB)
IPC: B24B41/00
Abstract: 117,792. March, S. H., and Asbridge, H. H. April 9, 1918. Disk apparatus. - Relates to internal-grinding machines in which the work is held stationary and non-rotatable and the grinding-wheel spindle is rotated at a high speed on its own axis and has imparted to it a planetary motion by means of eccentric sleeves, and consists in means for effecting the adjustment of feed of the grinding-wheel from a stationary member while the work is proceeding. The spindle 5, carrying the grinding-wheel 9 and the driving-pulley 8, runs in the eccentric bore of a sleeve 4, which in turn is mounted in the eccentric bore of a sleeve 3 carried in bearings in the head 1. A spindle 11 driven by a pulley 10 carries a pinion 27 in gear with a wheel 29 loose on the sleeve 3. The spindle also carries the casing 15 of a differential gear train, which, normally, is held stationary by the engagement of a worm-wheel 20 secured thereon with a worm 21. The driving-pinion 24 of the train is fixed to the spindle 11 and the driven pinion 25 to the sleeve 13, which carries a pinion 26 in gear with a wheel 28 fixed on the sleeve 3. The gearing is so proportioned that, when the casing of the differential gear is stationary, the wheels 28, 29 run at the same speed. When, however, the casing is rotated by means of a hand-wheel on the shaft of the worm 21, the wheel 29 runs at a different speed to the sleeve 3 and, by means of an internal wheel 30 fixed thereto, a combined spur and bevel pinion 31, a bevel pinion 33, worm 34, and worm-wheel 35, rotates the sleeve 4 relatively to the sleeve 3 and so effects a radial movement of the spindle 5.

Title: Starting device for an auxiliary engine particularly of a locomotive
IPC: B61C15/02
Filed: 1929-04-19
Abstract: 310,014. Skoda Works, Plzen. April 19, 1928, [Convention date]. Power-generating systems. - An auxiliary or booster engine for a locomotive is connected to its driven axle by means of a combined friction and positive clutch. The auxiliary engine 1 drives the axle through gearing 2 and a clutch comprising a friction member 3 and a claw member 4 the friction clutch being of sufficient power to bring the two elements to be coupled to the same speed, while the full load is transmitted through the claw clutch 4. The clutches may be controlled by hand or by steam, air or other fluid, and the auxiliary engine may be driven by steam or compressed air. The clutches 3, 4 are controlled by air cylinders 5, 6 supplied through a hand-operated valve 20, a pipe 9, and automatically-operated valves 10, 11. At starting the valves 10, 11 are in the position shown and air is admitted to the cylinder 5 to compress a spring 7 and cause the clutch 3 to engage. As the clutch lever 15 descends it engages a collar 16 on the piston rod of a cylinder 14 and draws the rod downwards, this rod operating the valves 11, 10 in succession by gearing not shown. When the valve 11 is thus turned air is admitted to the - cylinders 6, 14. The clutch 4 is thus pressed towards engagement, and the piston rod of the cylinder 14 now turns the valve 10, so that the cylinder 5 exhausts to the atmosphere, and releases the clutch 3. If the clutch 4 is in engaging position engagement occurs at once; if not, as the clutch 3 is gradually released slipping occurs until the clutch 4 can engage. As soon as the clutch is fully engaged air passes through the cylinder 6 to a pipe 17 and operates the valve 18 of the engine 1 so that this is started up. Gradual release of the clutch 3 is ensured by means of a storage chamber of a restriction 8. If the engine 1 is non-reversible means are provided for ensuring that it can only be used when the main engine is set for running in a particular direction, ahead, say. For this purpose the nut 28 of the main engine reversing gear is arranged to act in conjunction with a parallelogram linkage 24, 25 connected to the lever 21 controlling the starting valve 20 for the auxiliary engine, so that this valve cannot be opened while the nut 28 is in the reversing range.

Abstract: 1384953 Controlling clutches W ZINDLER [trading as LUMOPRINT ZINDLER KG] 16 March 1972 [18 March 1971] 12297/72 Heading F2L A clutch, eomprising driving disc 6 (Fig. 1) and a driven disc 8 mounted on the driving shaft for axial and rotary movement relative thereto, is engaged by a trigger pulse (applied to electromagnet 22) which simultaneously engages the clutch (through lever 14) and disengages a recess 15 on driven disc 8 from a pin 16 so that the clutch is held engaged against the action of spring 23 until pin 8 comes into register with recess 15 again (or a similar recess). A further driven disc 25 in engagement with disc 8 has a recess 33 (in the embodiment shown) engageable by a pin 32 connected to the lever 14 so that both recesses 15, 32 have to come into line with both pins 8, 32 before disengagement can occur, and, dependent on the gear ratio between the discs 25 and 8, several revolutions (or only part of a revolution) of disc 8 may occur before the disengagement. The disc 25 drives a shaft 26 which may have a cam 27 or a pin 28 to operate further apparatus. In the embodiment of Figs 2 and 3 the pulse actuated electromagnet 48 connects the driven part 39 of the clutch to the driving part 40 through a lever 45, which disengages the clutch after a 90 degree rotation due to the shapes of members 50 and 51, the former moving with driven disc 39 to disengage from member 51 on engagement of the clutch. The disc 39 drives a gear 69 (Fig. 3) on a cam (Fig. 4, not shown) on which moves the end 70 of a lever 65 whose other end can engage a second clutch 54, 52. The arrangement is such that on each 90 degree rotation of disc 39 the clutch 54, 52 is either engaged or disengaged so that successive pulses to magnet 48 successively engage and disengage this clutch. The invention may be incorporated in copying apparatus (not further described).
