Patent GB-190930232-A (GB)
Title: Improved Cultivator with Flexibly Yielding Tines.
Inventor: STOLL WILHELM
IPC: A01B63/26
Filed: 1909-12-24
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 30,232. Stoll, W. Dec. 24. Draught springs, arrangement of.-Cultivators with yielding tines are provided with means for preventing the vibrations of the frame from being transmitted to the draught animals. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the draught appliances are connected to arms on the two front tine shafts, and a spring 32 to a bell-crank lever 31 on the rear tine shaft. Movement of the lever 31 due to the tilting of the rear tines is transmitted to the front tines by means of a rod 33, toggle levers 34, pivoted lever 35, connecting-bar 6, and lever arms 5. In a modification, the rear tines are connected to a downward extension of the bar 6 and a spring is employed in connexion with the arm 5, the bell-crank and toggle mechanism being dispensed with. In another arrangement, the draught takes place through a spring-controlled wedge which engages an arm projecting from the tine shaft. In other forms, all the tine shafts are carried by pivoted levers connected together and to another pivoted lever to which the draught appliances are attached. The tines may be fixed to the frame and may bear against pivoted levers. Pivoted rigid tines may be used, and springs may be introduced between the tines and the pivoted levers. In the form shown in Fig. 19, the draught power is connected to a rack 62 which is geared to an eccentric 65 bearing against the rod 59 that connects the tine levers 66. In order that the vibrations of the frame may not be transmitted to the draught animals, the frame is movably or flexibly connected to the draw-gear or forecarriage. In one form, the frame and forecarriage are connected by parallel links. In another, the front end of the frame moves in guides in the fore-carriage. In another, the vertical spindle of the fore-carriage is adapted to rock in the frame, and the draw-bar is fastened to the axle of the fore-carriage or to a part connected therewith. In another form, the I draw-bar is connected by tension bars to the tines and slides freely in the fore-carriage. In the form shown in Fig. 16, the tension rods are connected by a transverse bar 55 to a draw-bar 49 pivoted at 56 to a piece 58 which is pivoted at 57 to the fore-carriage or frame.

Abstract: 13,195. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. May 31. Electro-magnetic switches. - A multiple-contact electro-magnetic switch for controlling an electric motor consists of a solenoid 3, the core 4 of which has a tail-rod 8 carrying a number of resiliently - mounted switch members such as disks 9, 10, 11 movable against pressure of helical springs (not shown), so spaced as to bridge pairs of contacts 19, 20, 21, 21<a>, 22, 23 successively as the core moves. Contacts 24, 25 are finally bridged by a switch 15. A projection 29 on the core 4 opens a switch 26, putting a resistance 47 in series with the solenoid 3 when the core has been fully raised. A dash-pot governs the motion of the core. In a modification, the solenoid winding is in two parts, one of which is connected across the motor armature so that an increased pull is given by the solenoid as the back electromotive force in the armature rises. The dash-pot may be omitted.

Abstract: 30,176. Tanner, J. J. Dec. 29. Make - and - break switches, mechanical; clock-work actuation.- In an automatic advertising - apparatus, time switches control the circuits of the driving- motor and illuminating- devices. (1) A clockdriven cam 9, Fig. 4, periodically closes the contacts h<1>, h<2>, h<3> in order. The time adjustment is effected by means of a pointer 5 which shifts the contacts h<1 >&c. round the cam. (2) A second cam 11, Fig. 5, causes the contact-arm 16 to engage alternately the contacts 12, 13. (3) A cam disk j, Fig. 5, rotated by the display web actuates contactarms k<1> ... k<4> the arms k<1>, k<4> being provided with additional contacts 18, 19 for engaging fixed contacts 20, 21 respectively, to control the reversing of the motor. Electro-magnetic switches.-The circuits controlled by the above-described switches include the following electro-magnetic switches. (1) Two solenoids 6, 8 operate contact-arms d<2> d<1> respectively to close circuits, which are maintained by balance weights upon the arms. A single restoring-solenoid 7 opens both contacts by the engagement of projections g, g' on the two arms when the arm d<2> is pulled over by the solenoid 7. (2) A reversing-switch consists of a pivoted bar with a balance weight as above, and strips of copper along each edge terminating in rods which dip into mercury cups. Solenoids on each side of the pivot serve to rock the bar into its reverse positions.

Abstract: 15,359. Nicholson, T. A. E. July 1. Composite and helical springs; connexions and attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs. -Relates to spring supports for the seats or saddles of cycles, and consists in mounting two fixed vertical tubes A, B upon the rear-wheel forks or axle so as to receive two sliding tubes C, D, which are guided to move in straight lines, and carry main and rebound helical springs G, H. The springs may be mounted upon pins I passing through, or screwed or otherwise connected to, the lower closed extremities of the sliding tubes, or they may be mounted around the sliding tubes themselves, as shown in Fig. 3. The tubes C, D may, moreover, be further supported by one or more laminated or elliptical or part-elliptical springs such as K, N, the stops upon the tubes being some distance apart so that the spiral springs may take up light shocks without the plate springs coming into operation. A laminated spring above the wheel may take the place of part of the ordinary mud-guard. The helical springs may be off different diameters and arranged one inside the other below the frame member O. The saddle may be mounted on the cross-tube E or on a pin carried by the crosstube. According to the Provisional Specification, the plate springs may be secured to the frame by shackles, hinge joints, or spring connexions, and they may be connected to the sliding tubes by shackles or by sliding through a bracket thereon.

Abstract: 1449. Shaw, J. G., and Shaw, C. R. Jan. 18. Controllers, actuating-mechanism and interlocking - devices for; controllers with auxiliary switches. -In a starter for alternating- current motors, a subsidiary switch k is actuated by a cam a on the rotor switch arm b, for cutting-out the phasesplitting device z when the motor has speeded up. The switch, which is of the double - pole type, is held by a detent h pivoted at f, at starting, so that insulated blades p, q connect pairs of contacts r r<1>, s s<1>, thereby cutting-in the phasesplitting device. As the arm b is rotated. the inclined surface of the cam a moves the detent against its spring m, and allows a spring u to pull the switch k upwards on guides n. The blades p, q then rest on dead contacts t, and the stator coils carry no out-of-phase current. The moment of release of the switch k is determined at will by screwing the cam a to the arm b through a slotted extension d. A second cam extension w on the arm x of the rotor switch engages a roller y on the switch k, and resets it on the return movement.
