Title: Improvements in Controlling Apparatus for Steam Engines, the Invention being Particularly applicable for Winding and Hauling Engines
Filed: 1901-12-23
Granted: 1902-11-06
Abstract: 26,225. Fraser & Chalmers, and Whitmore, F. L. Dec. 23. Stopping; winding and hauling engines. - Relates to controlling- apparatus for steam engines, especially applicable for winding and hauling engines. The object is to enable the engine to be reversed and supplied with steam at the same time, although, under the action of a lowering load, the engine may be running forward at full speed, so that the governor is right up and no steam is being admitted. This is accomplished by connecting the governor lever with the reversing-lever so that, on the latter being thrown over, the governor is positively pulled down. As shown in Fig. 1, the reversing- lever 1 is connected to an arm 3 on a rocking shaft which has a second arm 5 connected to a pushrod 6. The rod 6 passes through a guide, and has a cam-shaped end 11, on the upper side of which, when the gear is set in the forward position, rests a latch or pawl 16 carried by an arm on a shaft 13 by a movement of which, through an arm 14, the governor can be acted on in the desired manner. When the reversing-lever 1 is thrown over, the first effect of the movement is to draw back the rod 6 and to bring the parts into the position shown in Fig. 3, whereupon a continuation of the movement results in the rod 6 being thrust backwards again and the arm 14 being forcibly pulled down.

Title: Improvements in Induction Electric Meters.
Inventor: BLATHY OTTO TITUS
Filed: 1901-12-24
Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 26,377. Blßthy, O. T. Dec. 24. Energy meters.-An induction motor meter has two iron cores 1, 3, respectively U-shaped and E-shaped, on opposite sides of the revolving disc 6, with their outer poles facing one another. The U-shaped core 1 carries pressure coils, and the middle limb 5 of the E-shaped core carries a main-current coil; the magnetic circuit of the latter thus includes an air space such that its braking effect on the disc is small relatively to its driving-action. The air space may be lengthened by removing the polar enlargements shown on the cores, or by providing a gap between the central pole-piece and a shortened middle limb on the E-shaped core 3. The middle limb may be adjustable, for which purpose the plates forming it may slide vertically in spaces left between the laminations of the core 3, when they are not clamped together by a bolt. The disc is retarded by a separate permanent magnet. For polyphase current measurements, two of the arrangements described may act on different parts of the disc.

A bolt 43 connects the motor and the casing, and the end of the armature shaft 37 fits into a socket in the axis of the first bevel-wheel 38 so that it m a be readily detached. The casing is in two main parts 46, 52 with the bearings for the various parts so arranged that the machine can be -easily taken to pieces. The bevel-wheel 38 drives the spindle 80, which carries a crank-disc for operating the hammer 90 and also is geared by spur and bevel wheels, with a frictional or slip connection interpolated, to the spindle 63 which works the rotating-gear. The hammer 90 is reciprocated from the crank through a connecting- rod and spring 92, and the action of the spring is supplemented by the alternate compression and expansion of the air between the hammer and the head of the connecting-rod. The drill itself is struck by the hammer, and it slides through but is turned by the chuck 61, which is geared to the spindle 63 and turns between collars 64, 65 screwed in the casing. To prevent the drill or tocl from coming out of the machine, a collar 70 is clamped on it and held by a bail 73 which hooks on to the casing. Buffers are placed at 60 and 67.
