Abstract: 17,885. Baader, F. April 17, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cranes.-Relates to means for swinging out loads on cranes with relatively fixed jibs, and is especially applicable to ships fitted with cranes operating doublechain grabs or buckets, and is described with reference thereto. The chains b, c are attached to the grab a in the usual manner. The hoisting- rope b passes over the pulley f to the winding-drum g. The rope c passes over a pulley alongside the pulley f to a drum i situated within the operator's cabin. An additional rope d passes from the grab over a pulley l fixed on an extension k of the jib e to a drum n at the foot of the jib. The drums n, i are provided with band brakes operated by hand-levers t, s respectively. Other drums n<1>, i<1> are also fitted on the same axes, and ropes v, u pass from these drums to pulley tackles to which weights x, w are attached. To raise or lower the load by the rope b, it is necessary for both brakes to be off. If, however, one brake is on while the other is off, traverse of the load is effected through the action of the weights x, w.

Title: Improvements in Electric Switches and Controlling Mechanism therefor.
Inventor: PEVEAR JESSE STETSON
Filed: 1906-02-27
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 4720. Pevear, J. S. Feb. 27, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Distributing; switches.-Relates to an arrangement of selective switches for use in electric distribution or railway systems, the supply in which is sometimes alternating and sometimes direct. Current is admitted through two main switches in parallel lines, one for each kind of current, which switches are closed by hand or pneumatically and are provided with electro-magnetic maintaining means acting only upon the proper switch for the kind of current supplied, the tendency of both being normally to open. Fig. 1 shows a form of the invention applied to electric railway car motors with hand-actuated main switches d, a encased in oil vessels. When the trolly T comes on the directcurrent supply wire 1, and either of the commutating-switches, say the right-hand one E, and the handle 1 are placed as shown, a direct-current circuit is closed through the wire 4, switch d, wire 5, and the contacts e<5>, e of the commutating-switch. One branch from the contact e leads to the controller C and motors ; the branch from the contact e<5> leads to the wire 8, hand-switch S, and the maintaining coil D<1> to ground. At the same time, the circuit of the other maintaining coil A<1> for the alternating-current switch a remains open. When the trolly has left the intervening dead section 3 and comes on the alternating supply wire 2, and the handle 10 and the commutating-switch are operated, a path is formed for the current through the wire 6 and switch a to the primary of the transformer F, and thence to earth ; current passes from the secondary of the transformer through the wire 7 to the commutating-switch, where it divides as before into two branches, one to the motors and one to the maintaining coil A'. Fig. 2 shows a modification having pneumatically - actuated switches. Controlling-valves associated with the commutating switches lie between a compressedair supply pipe R and pipes 13, 14 leading to piston chambers d<7>, a<7> of the respective switches d, a. Fig. 3 shows diagrammatically the position of the valve when the commutating-switch is ' off'; both pipes 13, 14 are exhausted to the atmosphere through the ports 31, 32. When the trolly is on the direct-current section 1, and the commutating- switch is moved to the position shown, the end of the pipe 13 passes the port 22, Fig. 2, and the switch d is closed ; it is maintained in the closed position, when the pipe 13 reaches the exhaust port 18, by a coil D<10>, the circuit of which, following the same general direction as in the simpler case, also leads through an auxiliary switch a<4> of the other main switch a. Each of the main switches is fixed to or otherwise connected with an auxiliary switch, so that the former must be open when the latter is closed. When the commutating-switch is moved to its alternating-current position, the switch a is automatically actuated and maintained similarly to the switch d.
