Title: Improvements in Controlling Gear for Winding and Hauling Engines.
Inventor: MELLING JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B66B1/12
Filed: 1910-05-31
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 13,152. Melling, J. W. May 31. Regulating and control-transmitting gear for winding and paying-out apparatus; overwinding, preventing.-Relates to controlling-gear for winding-engines for preventing overwinding and excessive speed, and consists in employing for this purpose a circular rack-wheel a, rotating once during the wind, and adapted, in the event of the speed not being suitably controlled, to actuate catch-bars h, h<1>, which are adjusted by a governor and are coupled by suitable linkages to the brake, throttle, and reversing mechanism. The teeth of the wheel a are raised at the part g<1> which is adjacent to the bars h, h<1> when the cage is at either end of the run. The bars h, h<1> are lowered as the speed of the engine rises, so that, under excessive speed, their notches are engaged by the teeth g and one or other of the bars is moved endways. After a certain end movement, the bar is raised automatically out of engagement with the teeth bv the action of inclines h<9> on a roller h<10>. The movement of the rod is transmitted by links x, x<1> to the reversing-lever, and by a three-armed lever i and linkage to a rod p<1>, which operates the brake shaft s<1> through an arm s<2>, and, by means of a lever r, releases a weighted lever t on the throttle-operating shaft t<1>. After the actuation of the trip gear, the mechanism is reset by a pedal v' acting on a lever v; this pedal, by an arm v<5> draws back the rod p, raises the throttle lever t, and releases a catch to allow the balanced lever r to swing back to its normal position. The cage is prevented from rising too high in the shaft, even at a slow speed, by stops j, j<1> engaging a bevelled lever k which releases a weighted arm and actuates the brake and throttle linkage. The rack-wheel a may be placed horizontally and driven by worm gearing, two circular rings of teeth being fitted on the upper face of the wheel to coact with the arms h, h<1>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Clicking and other Presses.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: C14B5/00
Filed: 1910-08-08
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 18,690. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. -Aug. 8. Cutting - out apparatus. - In a clicking or other press of the type in which one of the presser members is movable transverse to the direction of pressure into different operative positions relative to the other, a brake is employed for bringing the movable presser member to rest in its operative position, such brake being normally operative, but rendered inoperative during the movement into or from such position. The brake-actuating means is specially adapted to allow for vertical adjustment of the platen. The invention is shown embodied in a press of the type described in Specification 22,023/05. The brake comprises an expansible split ring 24, which is normally forced into engagement with an outer brake member 26 by a screw-spindle 44 actuated by a spring-controlled link 46. The brake members are so mounted on the platen - supporting plunger 12 as to participate in the movements of the latter, except that the outer member 26 is constrained from oscillating horizontal movement by the engagement with a forked frame 29 of a rearward extension 28 on the brake member. The positioning movement of the platen 14 and the driving of the press are effected, as before, by different movements of a handle 64. In the present invention, the handle is carried by a spring-controlled plate 68 pivoted to the lever 62 of the clutch-actuating link-work, and the oscillation of this plate 68, when the handle 64 is moved in either direction, serves to release the brake through links 78, 82. the latter being adapted to strike a plunger 50 which actuates the lever 46 of the brakeactuating spindle 44. The link 82 is provided with an extended surface for engaging the plunger 50, so as to allow the plunger 12 and its appurtenances to be vertically adjusted without interfering with the brake - actuating mechanism.

Abstract: 17,430. Charlton, T., and Smith, P. F. July 31. Mine signalling systems.- In a system for signalling to the engine room of a colliery winding-engine from the pit bottom, a switch is arranged to put a white light in circuit when the signal is given for the wind to begin, and to put a red light in circuit when the wind is completed. If the wind is begun before the signal is given, both red and white lights are shown. The switch arm 4 is shown in its position when the signal for winding has been given on the bells 27, thus energizing the magnet 6 and locking the switch 4 by its catch 11, 13. The white light W is now in circuit. When the wind is complete, the cam 21 operates the arm 20 to depress the catch 13, thus releasing the arm 4, which puts the red lamp R in circuit. If the wind begins before the signal is given, the extension 23 of the lever 20 closes contact at 24, so that if the signal is subsequently given, the relay 25 is energized and makes contact at 30, 31 for a circuit for the red lamp R. Both lamps thus remain alight until the relay armature, which is locked by the catch 32, is released by hand.
