Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 6218. Hall, H. J. March 13. Severing weft in shuttles.-To break the weft in a shuttle 1 if a cop is accidentally placed therein with the weft wound in the reverse to the correct direction, a pin 5 provided with one or two slits or notches 6, 7 is passed transversely through the shuttle below the end of the skewer. If the pin has two slits &c., these are cut in a slanting direction, one on each side of the skewer, and are so situated that only one can be in operative position at any one time. The pin is set to present the correct slit &c. according to the type of weft in use, and, if a wrong cop is introduced, the weft therefrom whips against the slit &c. 7 and is broken, the loom being then stopped. The pin may be turned around to place the slit &c. 6 in action, or may be turned to an intermediate position wherein neither slit &c. is operative. The pin may be notched to receive a screwdriver, and may be locked in position by a vertical locking-screw. Knife-edges &c. may be substituted for the slits &c.

Abstract: 29,361. Brooks, B., and Holt, W. Dec. 20. Starting prime-movers, dynamo-electric machines with control circuits for.-The dynamo electric machine of a combined enging starting and lighting system is provided with two independent armature windings connected to the same commutator and a field-magnet system controlled by one or more switches in such a manner that the machine runs with a different number of poles when acting as a motor than when acting as a generator. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the machine runs as a two-pole generator and as a four-pole motor, and is provided with a two-pole armature winding a and a four-pole armature winding c connected to the same commutator, having three brushes b, b<1>, b<2>. The field-magnet system has four poles d, d', d', d<3> alternately wound with shunt and series coils e, f controlled by a switch g. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the machine when running as a dynamo is made selfregulating by short-circuiting the armature coils under the poles d, d<3>, or by connecting the brushes b<1>, b<2> through an adjustable resistance j by means of the switch g. A fourth brush b<3> and resistance k may be added. The brushes b<1>, b<2> may also be connected through coils which de-magnetize the main poles, or through coils which oppose or assist the armature cross-magnetization. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, self regulation is obtained by shortcircuiting the brusbes b<2>, b<3> by means of a s cond switch g<1> mechanically connected to the switch g. In a further modification, the switch g controls the circuit of the series coils f, and the switch g' the circuit of the shunt coils e. Shunt and series coils may be placed on all the poles, and the machine may operate as a series, shunt, or compound wound motor. The brushes common to both windings a, c may be replaced by separate brushes. Specification 26,880/10, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], is referred to.

Filed: 1914-02-04
Granted: 1915-03-04
Abstract: 2948. Hall, W. A. Feb. 4. Oils and spirits for burning.-A motor spirit is obtained by cracking a heavy hydrocarbon oil under such conditions that as much as possible of the gaseous product consists of hydrocarbons of the ethylene or unsaturated series, mixing alcohol vapour with the gases, and condensing under pressure. In an example, gas oil or fuel oil is passed through a coil heated to approximately 600‹ C. and at such a rate that only about 25 per cent is converted into gas and superheating is avoided; the gas is freed from condensible oil at a temperature above the boiling point of alcohol and passed rapidly through alcohol. The resulting mixture of gas and vapour is led to the compressor. Alcohol may be denatured in this manner.

Granted: 1915-08-12
Abstract: 24,150. Norelius, E. F. Dec. 16. Independent driving On opposite sides; clutches, arrangements and applications of.-Comprises a clutch mechanism, more especially for use with a tractor having a self-laying track, the arrangement being such that, on application of a brake band, the clutch is first disengaged and subsequently a braking effect is produced on one side or the other of the vehicle for steering. Fig. 1 shows a part side elevation of a tractor, and Fig. 2 a part sectional plan. The frame A is spring-supported at each side on rollers A<3>, which run on an endless track A<6> passing over driving-sprockets A<4>. The drive is transmitted from a longitudinal shaft B through a bevel reversing-gear to a shaft B<5>, and at each side from this through a sleeve C<1> and a pinion C and spur gear to the sprockets. Mounted on the sleeve C<1> is a combined brake and clutch mechanism. The clutch drum C' is keyed to the driving-shaft B<5>, Formed on the driven sleeve C<1> is a spider C<2>, Fig. 3, carrying pins C<5> on which slide clutch shoes C<4>. Loosely mounted on the sleeve is an operating-block C<6>, through which pass sliding bolts connected to yokes C<7>, C', which in turn are connected to the shoes C<4> by adjustable and plain links C", C<10>. Between an arm on the block and an arm on the spider is a spring C<15>, which surrounds a bolt hinged to and passing through the arm, and tends to separate the arms and to apply the clutch shoes. Another extension of the spider carries a shaft D<2>, upon which is a toothed wheel gearing with a fragmentary wheel formed on a brake wheel D<5>, which is loosely mounted on the sleeve C'. A cam on the shaft D<2> is surrounded by a strap, from which projects a rod sliding through a block pivoted to an arm D<10> of the rocker block. A brake strap surrounds the wheel D<5>, Normally, both clutches are in, and the vehicle is driven straight forward or backward, according to which bevel-wheels are in gear. To turn the vehicle, the hand brake is applied by the lever E<2>, and the relative movement between clutch and brake wheels, operating through the medium of the gear-wheels, causes the shaft D<2> to rock, thus forcing the arms C<14>, C<12> nearer together and easing off the clutch shoes C<4>. This movement goes on until the wheel D<2> engages stops D<14>, whereupon the band afterwards exerts a braking action only.

In the arrangement shown, the finger-disk B is secured to the spindle of a wheel F gearing with a wheel K mounted on the spindle of the contact disk H of the impulse device. Secured to the wheel K is a disk L provided with a projection U adapted to engage a projection V on a disk M, also provided with a projection W. The projection W is adapted to engage a lug X on a disk N, also provided with a recess c, which is engaged by a projection Y on a disk O. The disk O is provided with a projection P. which slides over teeth Q on the contact disk H when this disk is held against rotation in one direction by a resilient detent T, Fig. 1, which engages two notches S in a disk R secured to the contact disk H, Fig. 3. When the disk B is rotated, a spring shown in Fig. 2 is tensinued, and the disks rotated in turn to their limiting positions in one direction before engaging an adjacent disk, the disk H being held by the detent T. When the movement of disk B is arrested by a finger-stop C and released, the disks are moved to their limiting positions in the opposite direction before engaging an adjaccnt disk, thereby providing a time-interval due to the lost-motion connexion, and finally the contact disk H is operated by the projection P on the disk O.
