Abstract: 13,747. Schiemann, N. June 11. Starting; stopping; reversing.-In a singlelever control system for starting. and running in either direction, links L, L', attached to the valve-levers and carrying cam-bowls, are adjusted so as to move the cam-bowls in or out of range of the cams as required, by means of a controlling-shaft W, levers A, A<1>, and connecting-rods Z, Z<1>. The invention is described in connexion with Diesel engines working on the two-stroke or four-stroke cycle, compressed air for starting being admitted either at every revolution or at every two revolutions. In a multi-cylinder engine the controlling-shaft W may comprise two or more co-axial parts, which may be adjusted independently to control separate cylinders or groups of cylinders. For example, some of the cylinders may be operated with compressed air while others are supplied with fuel. Two sets of cams are provided for forward and reverse motion respectively, and they may be on separate shafts S, S' as shown, or the forward and reverse cams for each valve may be side by side on the same shaft. The controlling-shaft has two positions for each direction of running, namely the position I, or I<1> for starting, and the position II, or II<1> for running. For those valves that are actuated only in one position of the controlling-shaft, for example the fuel valve or the starting-valve, only one roller is provided on the link L. For the suction and exhaust valves of a four-strokecycle engine, which are operated in both positions of the controlling-shaft, two rollers R<1>, R<2> are provided on each link L if the valves are to be opened at every second revolution during starting. If compressed air is admited and exhausted at every revolution during starting, the links L, L<1>, for the exhaust valve of a fourstroke-cycle engine are each provided with three rollers R<1>, R<2>, R<3> as shown in Fig. 6. The rollers R<1>, R<2> are in the same plane, so that the valve is opened by the ordinary cam-swell X in either position of the controlling-shaft; and the roller R<3> is in another plane and co-operates with an opposite cam-swell Y during starting but not during running. Interlocking means may be provided so that compressed air can only be admitted when the controlling-shaft is in the position I or I<1>.

Granted: 1911-04-18
Abstract: 9199. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. April 15. Systems for continuous-current motors only; electric braking.-Two or more motors are controlled to run at different speeds by means of a shunt circuit established across one motor to decrease the potential impressed on it and to increase the potential impressed on the other or others. The motors 1, 2 with armatures a, a<1>, which may drive mechanism through differential gear, are connected through a starting-switch 5 and main switch 10. When the starting- switch 5 is moved to complete the circuit, current flows through the ' hold-on ' coil 18 and the field coils f, f<1> in series; and also through a parallel circuit consisting of the resistance 8 and the armatures a, a<1> in series. Further movement cuts-out the resistance 8. By moving the handle of the switch 19 to the right, the resistance 24 is connected across the armature a<1>. The speed of the armature a<1> is therefore diminished, and that of the armature a is increased. Further movement of the switch 19 to the right increases the difference in the motor speeds until the armature a' is completely short-circuited. The motors may be brought back to their normal speeds by returning the switch 19 to its central position; and the speed of the motor 1 may be diminished by moving the switch arm to connect the resistance 23 across the armature a.
