Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 24,697. Diehl, H. Nov. 26, 1910, [Convention date.] Shaft couplings.-In a shaft coupling for driving an ignition magnet the driving and driven shafts are connected by a flexible member, which at high speeds flies outwards by centrifugal force and alters the angular relation of the shafts. The driving and driven members a, b are connected by a heavy chain c, which, when not running, lies curled round the annulus a but at a certain speed assumes the position shown, thus advancing the driven member b. A flexible shaft, a tube filled with mercury, small shot, &c., or a wire strung with heavy beads &c. may be substituted for the chain. To preserve balance a second flexible member (not shown) is added.

Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 28,606. Schmidt, W. Dec. 21, 1910, [Conv en tion date]. Fluid-actuated gears.-Relates to gears of the kind described in Specification 22,490/93, wherein the valve is closed by the difference in pressure in the valve-chest and cylinder due to the motion of the piston and the throttling action of the valve. In the present arrangement, the admission is varied by varying the force tending to open the valve during the working of the engine, the stroke of the valve remaining constant. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the exhaust is controlled by the piston, and the admission by a ring valve c which is provided with a hollow piston f, the interior of which is in constant communication with the inlet chamber d. The cylinder c in which the piston f slides communicates with the chamber d by means of a passage g controlled by a screw valve g<1>. The cylinder e also communicates with the atmosphere, a condenser, or a receiver by means of a passage h controlled by a valve i. The piston f may be made a loose fit and the passage g dispensed with. The piston f may be replaced by a diaphragm, or a spring alone or in conjunction with fluid pressure may be used to supply a constant force tending to open the valve; or an enlarged extension may be attached to the piston f to assist the valve to open. The cylinder c may be supplied with any suitable pressure fluid. In a modification of the arrangement shown, a differential piston valve under the control of a cataract is used.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Self Excited Direct Current Dynamo Electric Machinery.
IPC: H02K23/40
Filed: 1912-02-02
Granted: 1913-02-03
Abstract: 2734. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. Feb. 24, 1911, [Convention date]. Pole-pieces; cores.-To obtain a large voltage regulation range in self-excited continuouscurrent generators, the straight part o, a, Fig. 1, of the ordinary excitation curve o, I is shortened, giving a curve with a lower ' knee,' as at o, II. This is effected by forming a short part of the magnetic path with a cross-section between a quarter and a twelfth of that of the whole magnetic path, so that the short part is saturated with only a low terminal voltage. The poles or armature may be bevelled in the direction of the armature axis so as to give tapering air-gaps. Parallel channels or holes may be formed on the armature or pole-shoes, as at l, Fig. 2, with or without a non-magnetic filling to strengthen the resulting narrow teeth m, or the pole-shoes may be grooved in a tangential direction. Alternatively, transverse teeth may be formed on the poles or armature by means of turned grooves or projecting laminae m, Fig. 4<a>. A calculation is included in the Specification to show how the size of the reduced section of the magnetic path is determined. Specification 12,294/02 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also eccentricallybored or bodily-tilted poles and pole tips which are deeper at the centre than at the edges so as to give two wedge-shaped air-gaps with their narrow ends meeting at the pole centre along a line parallel to the armature axis. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 26,718. Power Plant Co., and Wiesengrund, B. Nov. 21. Variable-speed toothed gearing for driving rolls in the manufacture of tin plates &c. comprises single-helical low-speed gearing, which automatically disengages when a higher speed comes into action. To the driven element p<3> is secured one single-helical wheel w<2> and one part of a friction clutch f. A longitudinallymovable countershaft s<2> is secured to a pinion p<2> adapted to mesh with the wheel w<2>, and a helical wheel w<1> adapted to mesh with a driving- pinion p<1>. The pinion p<1> is connected to the engine shaft s<1> by a spring-actuated clutch j<2>, and the other part of the clutch f is carried by this shaft. In starting, the parts are in the configuration shown and the clutch f is disengaged. The drive passes through the shaft s<2>, end thrust in which is taken up by the various bearings. The clutch f is then engaged gradually by suitable means o, whereupon the wheel w<2> is accelerated. The reversed endlong thrust on the gears p<2>, w<1> then causes the shaft s<2> to slide to the right out of gear, until a collar d strikes a bearing b<3>. If the disengagement takes place slowly, inclines on the teeth of the clutch j<2> cause that clutch to become disengaged and allow the pinion p<1> to turn, so avoiding damage.

Fig. 3 shows the valve-centring mechanism, the connexions to the cut-off and brake being similar. An arm G is secured at one end to a shaft connected to the ordinary link-work of the engine, and at the other end to a rope G<1> passing between rollers G<3>, G<4>, and at the lower end of which is a plate G<2>. A weight H is bored to receive the rope G' and is connected by a cord f to the drum F. Normally the arm G and the weight are in the positions shown in dotted lines, but on the shaft D moving the pawl A to release the shaft C, the weight H drops and centres the valve-gear.

Abstract: 16,561. Osterrieder, G. July 18. Collapsible framework for endless - chain elevators; adjustably supporting.-In straw and like. elevators in which the trough 2 is folded and adjusted in inclination by means of a pivoted arm 10, power is communicated to the arm from the shaft 3 through reversing-bevels 5 and a clutch 31, 32 to a shaft 6. The shaft 6 is geared through worm gearing to a second worm gearing with a worm-wheel 9 fast with the arm. When the arm has rotated by a certain amount, pins 11, 11<1> on the wheel 9 engage a lever 12, on the shaft of which are arms 14 connected through slidable connexions to links 15. Overrunning in either direction therefore causes the links 15 to retract, through the swinging link 16, a bolt 18 normally retaining a spring bolt 22. When the bolt 22 is released, it engages an abutment 25 on a loose bush 26 on the shaft 6 and provided with inclined surfaces cooperating with similar surfaces on a fast bush 27. The bush 26 is arrested, and is displaced longitudinally, the motion being communicated by rods 29 to a collar 33, which retracts the links 35 and raises the clutch members 32 from the friction surface 31, thus stopping the drive.
