Title: Improvements in connection with the Braking Arrangements of Electric Motors.
Inventor: SCOTT WILLIAM HARDING
Filed: 1905-03-09
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 4967. Scott, W. H. March 9. Brakes, magnetic. In the braking arrangements for electric motors descrihed in Specification No. 5860, A.D. 1900, [Abridgment Class Dynamo.electric generators &c.], the brakes are taken off when current is supplied to the motor by the attraction of magnetic plates by the pole-pieces. In order still further to increase the stray flux passing into the magnetic plates aforesaid, all or practically all of the magnetic material between the yoke and the pole-pieces is removed, and the pole-pieces are either secured to the yoke by non-magnetic material, or are affixed to the magnetic plates. The first method is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Holes E of as large a diameter as possible are drilled between the openings g provided in the yoke A as described in the above-mentioned Specification. After being drilled, each hole is screw-threaded, and into it is screwed a plug D of brass or other non-magnetic metal. The brake mechanism may consist of levers I centred at H and carrying at one end the magnetic plates F, the other ends being connected by screws and nuts k to the brake blocks K, which are pressed by means of springs L against the brake wheel J. In the alternative method, shown in Fig. 3, the yoke A is provided with large openings a for the reception, with air-gaps, of the pole-pieces B, which are fixed to or form part of the magnetic plates F. After the plates F and the parts of the yoke which come opposite to them have been machined, they are temporarily fixed to the yoke, and the pole-pieces bored out to suit the armature. In order to prevent up-and-down movement of the plates F with respect to the armature, the hinges H of the supporting-levers I are arranged parallel to the armature shaft, and, to prevent distortion of the armature flux, the hinges H are above and below the armature on the two sides, as shown. The levers I may be connected by links i to a lever m fixed on a bar n, to which is secured the weighted lever n<2>. The levers carrying the brake blocks K are connected to the lever m by links p, and are either centred at k<2> or are connected by a spring L. Alternatively, the levers I may be arranged parallel to the armature shaft and connected to the brake blocks, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Patent GB-190604004-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Fleece-breaking Appartus of Scribblers for Producing Long Fleeces
Inventor: HUEBNER FRANZ
Filed: 1906-02-17
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 4004. H³bner, F., and Josephy, G. Feb. 17. Carding-engines; lap-forming apparatus.-Relates to scribbling and other macbinessuch as Martin's long fleece machine, in which a continuous fleece is formed by passing the wool on to a travelling endless band until the fleece has attained the desired thickness, when it is broken across and wound on a roller. Means are provided for automatically breaking and winding up the wool fleeces produced in these machines. The fleece which is wound on the band A is broken across by a comb q, which moves downwards along the path shown in dotted lines, the comb being provided with a series of circular plates q<1> which prevent the teeth from passing through the apron A. During this operation the fleece is gripped by rollers u, r. On the return movement of the comb q, the latter carries the end of the fleece into a position suitable for winding on a roller W, when the fleece is caused to leave the comb teeth and adhere to the roller by means of a batten z' carried by swinging arms z which carry the batten upwards along the arc shown, The winding-roller W is loosely mounted on inclines V and rotated, by frictional contact with the apron A. The parts are operated from a belt-driven pulley b, on the shaft of which is fixed a pinion c which drives a toothed wheel d loosely mounted on the shaft e. The wheel d carries a stud f, which may be engaged by a pawl k pivoted at l<1> on a disk e<1> fixed to the shaft e. A roller h on a lever g, working between stops i, i<1>, normally maintains the pawl k out of engagement with the stud f, and winding takes place without the rotation of the shaft e. On the lever g being raised, the roll h moves out of contact with the, pawl k and it is pressed by a spring l into engagement with the stud f, and the shaft e is thus rotated. An eccentric-rod m<1>, actuated by the shaft e, operates a bell-crank lever n attached at its bend to, a shaft o, to which is connected by arms p the comb q. Another arm of the bell-crank lever is connected by a link s to a bracket t, pivoted at t' and carrying the roller r, and thus effects the gripping of the fleece between the rollers u, r. An arm v fixed to the shaft e, and connected by a rod x and chain y to the shaft carrying the arms z, operates the batten z<1>. An arm z<2>, attached to the shaft carrying the batten z<1>, presses against a spring z<3> during its upstroke, and ensures the return of the batten z<1> to its original position during the return stroke of the arm v. When the shaft e has made one complete revolution, the pawl k is separated from the stud f by the roller h. A spring pawl F brings the shaft c and its connexions to rest.

Title: Improved Driving and Reversing Mechanism
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1906-07-07
Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 15,460. Thompson, W. P., [Conkling Co.]. July 7. Reversing - gearing; clutches. - Relates to means for operating the clutches of driving-mechanism for reciprocating or oscillatory machines, such as washing - machines, planers, shapers, and the like, where a constant reversal is required, as described in Specification No. 1311, A.D. 1906. The arrangement consists of the driving-shaft G, the driven shaft F, and the clutch members H, I suitably housed in a casing. The clutch members H, I are connected with the driving-shaft by trains of gearing HG, HG', and IG, IG<2>, and IG<1> so that they are rotated in opposite directions on the bushes 4, 3, respectively, of the driven shaft F. The shaft G and the spur-wheel HG are formed with a clutch Q<1>, a starting-lever Q being provided to slide the spur-wheel along the shaft Q. The lever Q projects through the casing and ends in a roller which is adapted to be moved along the cam-groove 12 of the plate 13 by a handle 16. The threaded sleeves HK, IK are keyed to the driven shaft F and connected by coupling-bars KK, arranged to operate in grooves 18 of the drum K. The clutch members H, I are similar in construction, the member H consisting of one piece or of the connected parts H<1>, H<11>, H<111>, and adapted to receive the clutch nut H<1>, the bell-crank H<3>, the sliding ring H', and the friction rings HX. In Fig. 4, the sliding sleeves H<2>, P have been moved over the bell crank levers H<3>, I<3> to respectively lift the clutch nuts H<1> away from, and depress the clutch nuts I' into engagement with, the threaded sleeves HK, IK. By this means, the sleeves are moved along the shaft F until the sleeve HK engages the boss of the drum K, pushing. it until it engages the clutch ring IX, the clutch member I, drum K, sleeves HK, IK, and shaft F finally revolving as one piece. By means of the cam arrangement afterwards described, the sleeve P is moved over the lever P to disconnect the nuts I', the sleeve H<2> then being moved to depress the clutch nuts H' into engagement with its threaded member HK. This withdraws the sleeves HK, IK until the drum K is first disconnected from the clutch rings IX and finally moved into engagement with the clutch rings H<1>, the direction of rotation of the shaft F being then reversed. To ensure engagement, the overhanging edges of the drum K are provided with wedgeshaped recesses HX', IX' and the rings HX, IX are made in halves and provided with lugs. The mechanism for actuating the rings H<2>, I<2> comprise the yokes L', M<2>, slidable on the frame rod 9, and a cam-wheel N driven by the driving-shaft G through a worm and wheel. Lugs L<x> of the yokes engage the cam-groove N', which consists of the two parts N<2>, N<3> following minor and major arcs. These parts of the groove are joined by the groove parts N<4>, N<2> which respectively act as the throwing-in and throwing-out portions of the cam as it rotates in the direction of the arrow, the throw-out groove always acting in advance of the throw-in groove.
