Title: Improvements in Clutching Devices adapted for use in Communicating Rotary Motion and in Controlling the Transmission thereof.
Inventor: BAILEY FRANK
Filed: 1906-01-17
Granted: 1906-12-06
Abstract: 1318. Bailey, F., and Jackson, F. H. Jan. 17. Clutches.-Relates to hydraulic clutches in which a positive mechanical drive is secured when the clutch is required to drive at full speed. A circular member B bears within an outer member A with an eccentric chamber a, and carries sliding vanes C pressed outwards by springs. Channels b<1> connect the chamber a with a hollow shaft D, and are governed by a sliding valve E to vary the rotation transmitted. When the valve E is in its inmost position, the channels are open and the vanes are pressed in and held out of action by a piece e on the valve shaft engaging the stems c of the vanes. When the channels are completely closed for full drive, the valve E engages the surfaces c<1> of the stems c and keeps the vanes in the eccentric part of the chamber a and thus gives a positive mechanical drive.

Monotype machines; type.-To enable low quads and spaces to be cast, the mould blade 1, which determines the width of the type or space, is provided with an auxiliary blade 4 which can move over and close the top of the mould. A recess 8 in the blade 4 is engaged by a cam 9 on a sliding bar 10 pivoted to a lever 13. A recess 21 in the blade 4 is adapted to be engaged by a sliding lock 22 carried by the main blade 1. The lock 22 is embraced by projections on a sliding bar 23 having a pin-and-slot connexion with the lever 13. The lever 13 is connected by a lever 19 with a sliding rod 20, .which is embraced by a lug 31 on the wedge 30 which adjusts the mould blade for casting the justifying space. As the wedge 30 moves inwards, the lug 31 engages a yielding stop 32 on the rod 20, and the lock 22 is disengaged from the blade 4, which is then caused by the cam 9 to close the top of the mould. As the blade moves into the mould to eject the cast space, the lock 22 comes opposite the recess 21 in the blade 4. The outward movement of the wedge 30 brings the lug 31 against a yielding stop 33 on the rod 20, the lever 13 is rocked, and the lock 22 enters the recess in the blade 4, the cam 9 being simultaneously retracted. To enable low quads, such as the em or en quad, to be cast, the blade 4 is actuated by a rod 34 projecting from the sliding bar 10. The rod 34 is connected with two pivoted arms one or other of which is engaged by the matrix-case as the latter moves into position for casting the required quad. The parts are returned to normal position by the spring of the yielding stop 33.

The actuating- bar 12, Fig. 5, and the restoring bar 16 are both reciprocated rapidly by eccentrics on the main driving-shaft 1. Springs 143, 144 engage the bars, just before the completion of their strokes, to diminish vibration. The punch rods 58, connected by wires 64 to pneumatics 65, are normally held against bars 56, 59 by springs 60, their lower ends in the upper flared portions of apertures 27 in a guide-bar 26 ; when in operation, the punch abuts against the bar 63. The guide-bar 26 is adjustably mounted on a die bar 23, by means of pillars 28 fixed at the ends of the bar 23 and passing through holes in the bar 26 and supporting on their screw heads 32 arms 31 fixed in the bar 26. The apparatus is thus adjusted for a number of sheets. The apertures 24 in the die bar open into a slot 25. The paper passes from a reel over idle rollers 34, 36 between a pair of feed-rollers controlled by special clutch mechanism. The paper is trimmed as it leaves the punches by a pair of knives 136 operated by the bar 16 through members 137. The main shaft operates suction bellows (not shown). The piano keys 66, Fig. 11, operate the bent ends 108 of valves, which control ports 68 and are governed by springs 109. Tubes 70 connect the ports 68 to passages 82, Fig. 7, leading to diaphragms 83 controlling valves 85 arranged for convenience in four shelves. The valve chambers are connected by tubes 96 to the pneumatics 65. The feed-rollers 38, Fig. 9, are supported in brackets 39. The upper roller is controlled by springs 41, while the lower roller is driven by means of worm gearing 49, 50, a shaft 47, clutch members 52, 51, and bevel-gearing 44, 43 from the shaft 8. The clutch is controlled pneumatically by two valves at the instrument, which valves may for convenience be those under the highest and lowest keys of the series already described. The clutch member 52 is mounted on a sliding sleeve connected by a fork 120 to a plate 116, and is normally held in gear by a spring 123. A plate 114 pivoted at 115 to the plate 116 is adapted to be operated by a pneumatic 111, to bring a projection 126 into the path of the eccentric 13. The plate 116 is then removed and is retained by a spring latch 129, which can, however, be released by the operation of a pneumatic 133.

Title: Improved System of Controlling and Operating Motors for Electric Railways and Power Plants.
Inventor: SAHULKA JOHANN
Filed: 1907-06-06
Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 13,140. Sahulka, J. June 6. Distributing.-Consists in a system for controlling motors for driving shafts in power plants or electric railways. The shaft A is connected directly, or by gearing as shown, to the rotor B of the main driving-motor M, the field element C of which is mounted on a co-axial shaft K. In the arrangement shown, the polyphase motor M has slip-rings R, S for the supply mains, and a starter. The element C is geared to the armature D of a directcurrent generator which supplies an adjustable current to a motor F mounted on the driven shaft A, or geared to it as shown. The shunt regulator E of the machine D is cut out at starting by the )ever being placed in the position 1, so that the rotor C speeds up practically unloaded, driving only the armature D. By the gradual reduction of the resistance E, the generator D supplies current to the motor F, which turns the shaft A with a proportionate torque. Simultaneously, the main motor M exerts an approximately equal torque on the shaft. To obtain a greater speed of the shaft than is given when the resistance E is quite cut out, a brake G, H is employed to retard the rotor C. With the arrangement shown, the brake is applied at the moment when the rheostat arm reaches the position 2 and so opens the generator circuit. This may be done in an air-brake system by causing the arm to operate the braking-valves. For electric railways, the rotor B and motor F may be mounted on different truck axles. With an induction or shunt type of motor M, energy is returned to the supply circuit when the shaft A is overdriven, as when running on down grades with the element C locked. : Energy can be returned with the element C rotating and the shaft A running at a given speed, by employing a shunt motor F with its field so adjusted that it generates and causes the machine D to drive the motor M at a super-synchronous speed. With a continuouscurrent supply, the three machines M, D, F must all be shunt wound to give regenerative control.
