Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Preventing Overwinding at Collieries, Mines or other Places.
Inventor: ASHTON WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1912-02-01
Granted: 1913-02-03
Abstract: 2657. Ashton, W. H. Feb. 1. [Cognate Application, 12,484/12.] Overwinding, preventing; emergency power cut-off year.-Relates to apparatus for preventing overwinding at collieries &c., in which a slowly-rotating stop member engages towards the end of the wind with a treadle connected to stop-gear, and consists primarily in moving the stop member nearer to the treadle by means of a governor when the speed is excessive. A nut travelling along a screw driven by the engine engages towards the end of the wind with one or other of a pair of tappets secured to a rack. A pinion 15 gearing into the rack is attached to a rock-shaft 12, which carries stop members or arms 13, 14 projecting in opposite directions and adapted when rocked downwards to engage treadles 23 adjustably mounted on levers 19, 20. A catch 3 coupled by links 21, 22 to the lower arms of the levers 19, 20 is thereby raised and releases a spring-controlled bar 1, which closes the throttle and releases a spring-actuated brake lever 34. The arms 13, 14 and the treadles 23 are pivoted so as to give during their backward or idle stroke. In order that the engine may be shut off earlier if the speed is high, the sleeve of a governor 30 is, by means of a lever 29, arranged to give an axial movement to the shaft 12. The arms 13, 14 are attached to sleeves 27 which are secured to the shaft 12 by pins entering helical grooves 26, so that, as the shaft is moved endways, the arms 13, 14 are brought closer to the treadles 23. An auxiliary pair of tappets 40 are arranged to prevent the cage from passing beyond the proper stopping-place. The governor lever 29 may be arranged to operate a trip gear for stopping the engine if the speed should be excessive at any period of the wind.

Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to an engine having an oscillating abutment 6, the packing- liquid, under pressure of the working fluid, being led from a port 32 through side channels in the abutment 6 and the covers, to annular chambers 75 connected by a channel 76 and leading through channels 77 to a chamber 78 behind the spring-pressed strip 66 in the vane 3. Fig. 8 shows an engine with a rotary abutment 29 driven from the main shaft and having its shaft 30 packed by medium arranged between rings 63, 65, and between the rings 63 and outer end rings 64 held by screwed caps 61. The steam-pipe 71, Fig. 4, is branched at 70 to the lubricant-reservoir 37, which has a pipe 72 leading to a valve 73. Lubricant under the steam pressure passes through the valve 73, through a passage in the distributing-valve to side channels in the rotor 2<1>, whence it connects as shown in Fig. 1 with chambers 78 behind the strip 66 of the vane 3. The passage in the distributing-valve is shaped to allow the lubricant to pass except when the vane 3 is passing through the gap in the abutment. Lubricant is also led to annular chambers 325 in the abutment, connected by passages 326 and communicating by radial passages with the rear of a packing-strip 67.

Granted: 1914-08-17
Abstract: 16,304. Beaver, C. J., and Claremont, E. A. July 15. Squirting. - One or more dies of an extrusion press are rotated to produce spiral ribs or other projections on the outer surface of the extruded material. Figs. 4, 6, and 7 show a machine for covering an electric cable with a protective covering having diamond-shaped projections of harder material. The cable passes through a hollow mandrel m, between this and a die l, the material forming the first covering is forced by a press p and between the die l and dies a, b the harder material is forced by a press q. The dies a, b have internal projections and as they are rotated in opposite directions by means of worms g, gland gears f and a spindle c they produce the desired projections on the outer covering. The pulley u, loosely mounted on .the shaft t, is rotated by frictional engagement with the extruded material r. A friction band v amounted on the pulley u is connected to link-work x<1>, x<2>, x<3>, x<4> and thus tends to shift the belt-forks x<5> in one direction against the action of a weight x<6> which normally balances the frictional torque. The spindle e is driven through a variablespeed drive z<1>, z<2> controlled by movements of the forks x<5> so that the ratio of the speed of extrusion to the speed of rotation of the dies a, b is maintained constant. To render the device more sensitive, the rotation of the pulley u is restrained by friction disks w carried by the shaft t rotated in the opposite direction.

Title: Improved Circuit Arrangements for Semi-automatic Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1913-09-26
Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 21,766. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Sept. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 6664/13.] Semi-automatic exchange systems.-In an orderwire system in which incoming junction lines terminate in automatic selectors controlled by the B-operators, the connexion of the B-operator's impulse-sender to the selector circuits is effected automatically when the allotted junction line is taken into use by the A-operator. The operation of the selectors is thus delayed, as in the parent Specification, until the calling line has been connected to the junction line. The depression of an order key DT by an A-operator sets in action a rotary switch DW, which connects her speaking-set to that of a disengaged B-operator, who, having enquired the wanted number, writes it down on a key-set TT, HT, &c., and allots an idle junction line to the A-operator. The closure of a contacts, when one of the units keys is depressed, energizes a relay B1, which prepares a circuit for the starting relay A1. When the A-operator inserts the plug VS in the jack K of the allotted junction line va, vb, circuits are completed for the relays R. C, C1, T1, R1, E, A1, and for the clutch magnet KM. The relay C lights the lamp BL, to mark the junction line busy; the relay T1 completes the impulse circuits between the sender ZG and selector GW ; and the magnet KM rotales the shaft 8, on which are mounted the cam-disks I ... VI and the test arm VII. As the shaft 8 turns through its first quadrant, carrying the arm VII over the thousands contacts T, the relay E is intermittently de-energized at the contact 27 and sends impulses to the selector GW by opening the contact 28. When the arm VII comes to the depressed thousands key TT, a relay J is energized and locks up the relay E to prevent the sending of any more thousands impulses. At the end of the first quadrant, the relay J is unlocked at the contact 39 and the contact 38 is opened to produce the necessary circuit-changes at the selector GW. During the remaining three quadrants, the hundreds, tens, and units selections are controlled in the same way. As the shaft 8 returns to normal, the keys T T &c. are released, so as to open the contact s, and the contact 19 is opened so that the relays T1, R1, E, A1, and the magnet KM are de-energized. The switch e, which is moved to the left as long as the impulse-sender is in operation, is now restored, so that the B-operator again tests disengaged to the switches DW. The response of the called subscriber is signalled to the A-operator by the relays S, SR.
