Title: Improvements in or relating to the Working or Controlling of Electrical Machinery.
IPC: H02H7/085
Filed: 1910-01-22
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 1716. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Jan. 22. Controllers with overload release; safety devices; systems for continuous-current motors only.-The speed of a motor is made to correspond inversely to the maximum permissible current. In one form, at slow speeds, as determined by the governor c, Fig. 2, the whole of a number of fuses s are in circuit and take the heavy starting-current. At higher speeds, the arm b is raised by the governor and cuts out some of the fuses. The arm b may be connected to the controller arm, and cut out the fuses as the controller moves to its high-speed positions. Instead of using fuses, the arm b may vary the number of turns of an overload coil; or a generator on the motor shaft may supply an auxiliary winding on the overload switch, thus increasing the sensitiveness of the overload coil at high speeds. In another form, the overload coil e, Fig. 7, is placed in shunt to a resistance i in the motor circuit, and the amount of resistance k in series with the coil is varied either by a governor, or, as shown, by connecting it with the starting and controlling lever, Instead of using the resistance k, one or more auxiliary coils placed across the motor field a<1> and the generator field g<1> may assist the coil c at high speeds. In this form, a series coil in the motor circuit may, under excess current, short-circuit whatever resistance p, p' there may be in the motor field circuit. In another method, the motor a, Fig. 8, is connected by bevel-gearing r, r<1> to a shaft r<11>, on which is mounted one member s of an electric clutch. Excess current in the motor circuit energizes the series coil e of the clutch, whereupon, if the motor speed is high, bell-cranks p, connected by links q, h to the governor, return the switch arm l to a lowspeed position. Where the switch arm is made to work in slots n, n', o, o<1>, Fig. 10, in a plate, the sensitiveness of the safety devices can be varied in accordance either with the amplitude of the slots, or with the transverse displacement of the arm in the slot q<1>. This transverse displacement is stated to be of use for connecting in series and parallel a number of generators supplying a driving-motor.

Abstract: 3754. Flersheim, G. May 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Clutches.-An hydraulic clutch comprises a fly-wheel and casing secured to the driving- shaft and carrying rotatable impellers gearing with a central impeller connected to a disk secured to the driven shaft. By moving this disk away from the fly-wheel, free passage for the liquid forced by the impellers is allowed, and no drive is transmitted to the driven shaft. Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of the apparatus. The fly-wheel a, on which are mounted the impellers k, k<1> shown also in Fig. 2, is secured to the driving-shaft b. A disk h, to which is secured the central impeller i, is mounted en the driven shaft g. This is capable of a sliding movement so that the disk h and impeller i may be drawn away from the fly-wheel to allow free passage for the liquid. Grooves p are prnvided in each stuffing-box and are packed with grease to prevent leakage.

Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 9653. Armitage, H. B. June 4. Pneumatic separating ; sorting on picking or sorting tables and the like. -Apparatus for separating and picking or sorting peas, grain, or cereals, consists of a perforated endless band a, Figs. 1 and 2, which passes over a perforated hollow cylinder g, and is kept taut by an adjustable roller l in a casing e. The machine is situated in a room in which the air is at a greater pressure than the atmosphere, and the outlet f in the bottom of the casing communicates with a room containing air at atmospheric pressure, so that a current of air passes through the band and cylinder to the outlet, wipers l<1>, l<2> preventing the air from passing between the band and the sides of the casing. The machine is shown with two bands fed from the same hopper b. The smaller peas are blown or drawn through the perforations in the band and cylinder, while the larger peas are carried forwards and can be picked off or forced through the band and a grating n into a shoot n<1>, leading to the outlet passage c<2> in the side c<1> of the casing. The peas &c. left on the band are discharged into a shoot m. The drum g is attached to end pieces h, h<1>, which are loose on the shaft i; and the boss of the piece h carries a ratchet-wheel j, which is actuated by a pawl and lever j<1> operated by hand or by a foot-lever. Lifting-plates k<1> on the inside of the drum raise the peas that pass into the drum and deliver them to an inclined shoot k, whence they are directed by an inclined flange h<2> on the end piece h' into the outlet passage c<2>. The perforated rubber band has a covering of textile fabric on its upper side, and a number of metal strips on its underside the perforations in which are slightly larger than those in the band. Pins, teeth, or other driving-connexions are provided between the belt and the drum g to ensure that the holes in the band and drum coincide. A nozzle connected by a flexible tube to an airreservoir and fitted with a valve which is operated by contact with the peas may be used to blow the peas through the band; or the nozzle tubes may open into a low-pressure chamber into which the cereals are forced by the air pressure in the room.
