Filed: 1919-02-18
Abstract: 144,756. Williamson, R. L. Feb. 18, 1919. Clutches and speed-varying mechanism.-In apparatus of the type in which pumps carried in a casing on one shaft are operated by means on a second shaft to pump liquid round a circuit which may be more or less restricted, the casing is divided into separate high and low pressure compartments, to and from which respectively liquid is pumped. A shaft 4 carries a casing 1 divided into a high-pressure compartment 9 and lowpressure compartment 2. Between these compartments is formed a series of cylinders 7 with sleeves 11 carrying outlet-valves 12, and spring- pressed pistons 17 with inlet valves 19 and ports 20. The piston heads 18 bear on a loose plate 27 carried by a member 21 keyed to the second shaft 5, rollers 26 being interposed between the oblique front face of the member 21 and plate 27. Between the high and low pressure compartments is a passage 10, 33 in which is mounted a sleeve 35 with tapering openings 36 and valve 37 with ports 39. The valve 37 is operated bv a rod 30 passing axially down the shaft 5. With the valve 37 open, rotation of either shaft causes the pump pistons to reciprocate and the second shaft remains at rest. On restricting the flow of liquid, the second shaft is caused to rotate, at a relative speed dependent on the amount the valve 37 is closed.

Title: Device for indicating a speed of rotation as an angle of deflection
IPC: G01P3/56
Filed: 1934-02-07
Abstract: 434,878. Differential speedometers. JOENS & CO., GES., W. H., 33, Franklinstrasse, D³sseldorf, Germany. Feb. 7, 1934, No. 4059. Convention date, Feb. 7, 1933. [Class 106 (iii)] [See also Group XXXVIII] In apparatus for indicating a slow speed of rotation, comparison is made with a member having a variable speed of rotation, by a differential gear, the planetary member of which actuates a pointer and also regulates a resistance which influences the speed of the variable member. In the apparatus shown, a meter, for example, a water meter W, rotates one sun-wheel LU of a differential gear, the other sun-wheel LB being rotated oppositely by a disc A, the speed of which depends upon the current in the opposed windings S1, S2. A pointer, which forms also the movable arm of a rheostat FK, is moved by the planetary member L of the differential gear so as to vary the distribution of current derived from the transformer T between the windings S1, S2, whereby the speed of the disc A is adjusted to bring the rheostat arm or pointer to rest in a position corresponding to the speed of the meter W. The sun-wheel LB driven by the disc A is thus automatically caused to rotate at the same speed as the sunwheel LU driven by the meter, change of speed resulting in a corresponding movement of the planet wheels connected to the pointer and rheostat arm. An additional rheostat F may be used to actuate a distant indicator HI, to which may be connected corresponding rheostats F<1> F<1>K of a similar apparatus. In a modification the variations of current through the opposed windings S1, S2 are used to actuate a pointer showing the speed of the meter W.

Title: Improvements in talking picture synchronising apparatus
IPC: G03B31/00
Filed: 1930-02-10
Abstract: 349,070. Maintaining proportional speeds of motors. MITCHELL, F. A., 102A, Philbeach Gardens, Earl's Court, London. Feb. 10, 1930, No. 4457. [Class 38 (iii).] Comprises synchronizing means for talking picture apparatus wherein the motor driving the sound reproducing or recording apparatus controls the speed of the kinematograph driving motor. A variation in the relative speeds of the motors functions automatically, by means not in circuit with the kinematograph driving motor, to adjust a continuously variable resistance in permanent circuit with the driving motor of the kinematograph. On a rotating part of a sound reproducing apparatus X is attached a commutator A with contact segments A<1> and contact brushes B<1>, D. A commutator C having a contact C<1> to cooperate with brushes B<2>, B<3>, S, F is attached to the shaft of the projector driving motor M. The brush B<1> is electrically connected to the brushes B2, B<3>, the brush D being connected to an electric supply E and thence to the centre terminal G of a reversible control motor H, the other terminals F2, S<2> of which are connected to the brushes F, S respectively. The motor H operates a worm W to rotate a resistance R to vary the resistance in the supply circuit to the motor M. When the machines are running in synchronism no current will flow to the motor H and the resistance R will remain at one setting. Should the projector run at a higher speed the brushes B<3>, S will contact with the segment C<1> at the same time as the brushes B<1>, D, make contact with a segment A<1> and current will flow to the terminal S<2> on the motor H which will rotate the worm W to increase the resistance in the supply circuit. If the projector runs at a lower speed current will flow to the terminal F<2> to rotate the worm W in the reverse direction to reduce the resistance. The projector commutator brushes may be mounted on a frame so that if the projector and sound reproducer shafts are initially rotating in synchronism but out of phase the brushes may be rocked round the commutator C until the sound and pictures are in step. Alternatively, the switches S<3>, F<3> may be closed to advance or reverse the motor H. Specification 332,004, [Class 40 (ii), Phonographs &c.], is referred to.
