Title: Improved Safety Appliance for Engines.
Inventor: WITTE MARTIN
Filed: 1901-09-14
Granted: 1902-03-06
Abstract: 18,420. Witte, M., and Karlik, J. Sept. 14. Stop gear.-Comprises means for controlling the speed of engines, or for stopping them upon the occurrence of any irregularity, especially applicable to hauling engines. Fig. 1 shows a form suitable for a winding-engine, in which the speed during an ascent is required to increase gradually to a maximum, remain constant for a certain time, and then decrease again gradually. The governor comprises a centrifugal portion D<1> consisting of a float J resting o n mercury contained in a three-armed tube, which is rotated by a band from the engine shaft D. This centrifugal apparatus is raised and lowered bodily during the ascent by means of a cam-groove K in a plate P, which is traversed by a screw R driven by the engine. The cam-groove is shaped so that, when the engine is working properly, the centrifugal apparatus as a whole rises and falls to an amount corresponding to the changes in the level of the mercury due to changes in the speed, with the result that the float J remains stationary. Any abnormal working, however, results in the float being moved and in an electric switch x, y being closed, whereby either a brake is applied or the engine-controlling gear is put in action. In another form of the apparatus, the centrifugal device is stationary as a whole, and the desired control is effected by traversing elongated camshaped contacts during the ascent by means similar to those employed for traversing the plate P. In the case of a hauling-engine, the engine may be brought to a stop whenever irregular working occurs, by the forcible application of a brake operated by an explosive gas. This is ignited electrically on the closure of the circuit by the governor.
