Title: Improvements in Winding or Hauling Apparatus for Agricultural Purposes.
Inventor: KUNTZ ERNEST
Filed: 1907-07-01
Granted: 1908-04-16
Abstract: 15,108. Kuntz, E. July 1. Hauling and winding engines; winches, windlasses, grabs.-Relates to winding or hauling engines for agricultural purposes including ploughing, cultivating, harrowing, mowing, reaping, &c., and also for driving grinding-mills, threshing-machines, rootcutters, pumps, &c. Fig. 2 shows in plan one form of winding-engine in which the drum axles are horizontal. The motor D, of any suitable kind, is connected by a belt to a pair of fast and loose pulleys on the sleeve E. The fast pulley revolves with a bevel-wheel F<1>, which may either be directly connected to its shaft g by a clutch, or may drive the shaft through the reversing bevel-gearing G, G<1>. Power is transmitted from the shaft g through two-speed spur gearing to a worm I engaging a worm wheel on the drum shaft f. One drum B is fast on the shaft, and the other drum A is loose and adapted to be connected thereto by the plate C and bolt a. The shafts are mounted on bearings on the frame, which is carried by wheels, propelled either by the engine or by hand ratchet gearing H and sprocket chain. In a modified form, shown in plan in Fig. 4, the winding-drums are arranged on vertical axes. The engine drives the shaft g by means of a belt and speed cones. Speed gearing similar to the back gear of a lathe is fitted. The shaft g drives through reversing bevel-gearing a pinion I<1>, which by means of bevel - gearing K transmits the motion to a vertical shaft carrying a spur pinion S in mesh with spur-wheels on the two drums A. In both forms of construction, the ropes are wound in opposite directions on the drums, one being attached directly to the plough or other instrument to be hauled, the other led around a sheave on an anchored carriage and attached to the other end of the plough. The winding-drums are provided with coiling-gear to enable the ropes to be coiled evenly on the drums. When the engine is in position for hauling, the travelling wheels are replaced by deeply flanged wheels, so as to prevent movement sideways. By removing the belt h, the engine may be used for driving machinery. Instead of the bevel reversing-gear, open and crossed belts or other suitable means may be used.

Patent GB-190807811-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Controlling of Electric Motors
Filed: 1908-04-08
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 7811. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Harlow, F. April 8. Switches ; motor control systems.-In controlling motors by varying the resistance in the generator field circuit, this is effected automatically when the speed of the driven motor varies above or below a predetermined limit, by means of contacts controlled from the motor shaft. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the motor shaft A is connected through a friction clutch to a disk B, provided with vanes B<1> and rotating in a casing C, which has vanes C<1> and encloses liquid. The casing C is fixed to the end of a shaft D, Figs. 1 and 2, which is end-on to the motor shaft and carries at its opposite end a two-armed lever. A contact G on one arm of the lever is normally held by a centring-spring H, which embraces a stud G<1> on the other arm so that it bridges contacts E, F, connected to resistance studs in the rheostat of the generator field. When the motor speed falls below a predetermined minimum, the torque produced on the shaft D through the vanes in the casing is overcome by the spring H, which pulls the contact G so as to short-circuit a certain amount of the field resistance. In a modification, one contact is mounted rigidly on the motor shaft and the other on a shaft driven from the motor shaft through a spring. On the second shaft is an eddy-brake disk. When the torque necessary to move the second shaft falls below a certain amount, the spring pulls the two contacts together and short-circuits the generator resistance. In a further modification, the two shafts A, C, Fig. 4, are in line, and the end of a crank-arm D extending from the driven shaft C is received between two flat springs B extending from the other, the two springs tending to hold the two shafts in such a position relatively to one another that a contact M, carried by an insulated ring I on the driven shaft C, touches a contact N carried by an insulated ring H on the motor shaft A. The resistance that is thereby short-circuited is thrown into the generator field circuit when the motor speed increases sufficiently to cause the shaft C to lag. Contact-fingers J connected to each terminal of this resistance rest on the rings H, I as these rotate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Dumping-cars for Sticky Materials.
Inventor: ORENSTEIN MAX
Filed: 1908-05-06
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 9853. Orenstein, M. May 6. Tip wagons.-To ensure the complete discharge of clay, loam, and like sticky material from a dumping- car, the body is provided with a tray, which first slides when the body is tilted and then swings about its upper edge until it presents a substantially vertical surface, down which the material slides. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the tray comprises a base d about half the width of the body, a back b hinged to the base d, and end walls rigidly secured to the back b. When the body is tilted, the tray first slides until trunnions c come into contact with stops f on the end walls of the body, whereupon, owing to the inertia and friction of the material contained, the tray assumes the position shown. Fig. 5 shows the application to a troughshaped body having its sloping sides at right-angles to one another and made from a single sheet of metal. The slide consists of a straight piece f, with or without end pieces k, to which is hinged a curved bottom piece i, the trunnions l sliding in slots m in guide-bars n, which are parallel to the opposite walls of the body.

Brakes; driving - mechanism.-In cycle coaster hubs wherein a sliding ring such as 8 is adapted on back-pedalling to be moved by a cam or wedge action into engagement with a brake - operating sleeve, the ring 8 is provided with a bevelled ring 9, which, when the machine is wheeled backwards, by lateral displacement disengages a set of driving-pawls 3 and thereby disconnects the hub shell. Figs. 1 and 3 show the mechanism applied to a hub containing a variable-speed gear, a driving- ring 6 with teeth 6<a> and stop portions 6<b> being carried by the planet-pinion studs 5, and the pawls 3 being mounted upon the internal ring 4. In a single-speed hub the parts 6, 3 are carried by the driving-member. The ring 8 has projections 8<a> to engage the parts 6<a>, 6<b> of the ring 6 and ratchet teeth or dogs 8<b> to engage corresponding teeth 7<b> upon the brake-operating sleeve 7. A spring 10 between the ring 8 or 9 and the sleeve 7 tends to keep the ring 8 in its innermost driving position. To avoid lateral thrust when the brake is being applied, the parts are so adjusted that the projections 8<a> engage the stops 6<b> before the teeth 8<b>, 7<b> are fully engaged. According to the Provisional Specification, the sliding ring may move inwards under the action of the spring, to engage the brake sleeve and to carry a bevelled ring or the like to a position beneath the tails of the driving-pawls. Specification No. 28,361, A.D. 1907, is referred to.
