Filed: 1968-02-07
Abstract: 1,207,882. Hydraulic reciprocating motors. BROUGHTON CORP. Feb.7, 1968, No. 6164 /68. Heading F1A. A hydraulic motor, e.g. water-operated for use in the paper industry, comprises a double-acting piston.28 coupled by a lost-motion linkage 33, 34 to a pilot valve 72 hydraulically controlling a main reversing valve 55. In the position shown, pressure liquid from a filter chamber 14 passes through passages 16, 43c, 46d, 51, 35 and 36 to the righthand end of piston 28 to move it to the left. Pressure liquid between reversing valve lands 58 and 59 passes through ports 61, 62 and acts on the left-hand ends of main valve 55 and of pilot valve 72 to hold them in their right-hand positions, valve 72 sealing against stop 70 on rod 34, and rod stop 67 sealing against end plate 65. The pressure liquid acting on the valves passes to exhaust port 75 through valve bore 56 and restricted passage 57a in valve land 57. Liquid from the left-hand side of piston 28 exhausts through passages 50 and 46b to port 75. Towards the end of the piston stroke to the left, stop 33 of the lost-motion linkage engages piston rod bore end 32a and moves rod 34 to move valve 72 to the left. When valve 72 has moved to the left of ports 61, 62, pressure liquid from these ports holds valve 72 in its left-hand position against stop 71 and acts on the right-hand end of valve 55 to move it to the left. The movement of valve 55 is cushioned by the throttling action of passage 57a on liquid exhausting from the left-hand end of the valve. The valve assembly can be removed as a unit on removal of end plate 38.

Abstract: 672,389. Textile twisting apparatus; driving arrangements. AMERICAN VISCOSE CORPORATION. March 13, 1950 [April 12, 1949], No. 6264/50. Class 120(ii) [Also in Group XXIX] Multiple-spindle textile twisting apparatus provided with a rotary hydraulic motor for each spindle has means for supplying liquid under pressure to each motor comprising a manifold connected to the motors by separate ducts with arrangements to regulate the liquid pressure and means for maintaining a uniform pressure in the manifold and an exhaust manifold from each motor leading to a reservoir. Each twisting unit includes singles twisters 8, 9 and a cord twister 10, driven by hydraulic motors 12, 13, 14 supplied with liquid by lines 16, 18, 17 connected to a solenoidoperated valve 37 supplied from a high pressure liquid supply line 20. Oil is pumped into the high pressure line 20 by a pump 28, which draws the liquid from a reservoir 24, through a filter 29, and a regulator 80 maintains the pressure in the line 20, Each motor is connected to an exhaust line 21 leading through a cooler 25 to the reservoir 24. In order to adjust the motor speeds separately, valves 31, 32, 33 are provided and valves 19a, 20a are arranged for providing any desired speed ratio between the singles twisters and cord twisters. Strands from the singles twisters pass over a roller 50 for twisting into a cord by twister 10. If the tension on a strand or the cord becomes excessive due to sudden snagging or tangling, the roller 50 is drawn downwards on its pivoted supporting lever 42 until the lever 42 presses against a switch 40 to energize a solenoid valve 37 and stop the motors 12, 13, 14. When a strand or the cord breaks, the lever 42 rises under the influence of a spring 61 against a switch 41 similarly to stop the motors 12, 13, 14 through the solenoid valve 37. The roller 50 has a surface engaged by a brake shoe 52 mounted on the piston rod of a fluid cylinder 53, so that the roller 50 is braked to varying degrees according to the pressure in the cylinder 53, which is in circuit with a pressure-sensitive valve 62 controlled by the lever 42 and therefore by the tension on the strands and cord.
