Granted: 1913-04-25
Abstract: 9781. Bamford, F., Lunn, J. T., and Lomax, R. April 25. Belt and chain gearing; tension arrangements. -In an automatic belt-tensioning mechanism, the belt pulley b is carried by arms f pivoted upon a shaft c to which the pulley transmits the power by toothed or chain gearing, the arrangement being such that the resistance to the drive automatically causes the belt pulley to travel around the driven shaft to maintain the belt tension. The movement of the pulley is limited by springs, and it is adapted to be positively controlled when required by a handlever i. Any tendency of the driven parts to overrun causes the belt pulley to travel in the opposite direction to slacken the belt g. This movement is limited by a brake block h. A variable-ratio drive between the pulley band the shaft c may be provided by means of two or more trains of gearing such as d, d<1> and e, e'.

Abstract: 24,672. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Dec. 4, 1911. Recoil apparatus.-Relates to hydro-pneumatic run-out gear of the kind having a floating piston separating the air and liquid, and consists in injecting a liquid, such as a mixture of glycerine and water, under pressure between the U-leathers of the floating piston to diminish leakage. The injecting device is carried by the projecting rod of the floating piston, or is arranged within the piston itself. Fig. 2 shows a construction wherein a differential intensifier F<7>, of known kind, for injecting the liquid through passages f<3>, f<4> to the space f<0> between the leathers of the floating piston F<Î>, is carried by the piston-rod f<Î>. One face of the piston of the intensifier is in communication, by a passage f<4Î>, with the liquid in the rear of the piston F<Î>, and the rod F<7Î> of the intensifier piston is exposed to the atmosphere. The intensifier therefore forces liquid under increased pressure through the passage f<3> in the rod f <Î> to the space f <0> between the leathers. In a modification shown in Fig. 4, the intensifier is located within the piston F<Î>, and its larger area is exposed to the pressure of the air in front of the piston. The rod F<7Î> is exposed to atmospheric pressure by a passage f<5>. In another modification, a hand-pump replaces the intensifier shown in Fig. 2.

Abstract: 29,070. Kettering, C. F. April 17, 1911, [Convention date]. Motor-starting devices, applications of.-A dynamo-electric machine used to start the engine of a motor vehicle is arranged at the side of the engine, with its shaft parallel with the engine shaft. The machine is driven as a generator at the engine speed from the oilpump shaft through a clutch which is disconnected for starting simultaneously with the putting into gear of pinions connecting the machine shaft with teeth on the engine flywheel which is thus driven at a reduced speed by the machine acting as a motor. A oneway clutch in the starting gear allows the engine to overrun the machine. A centrifugal governor on the machine shaft prevents the starting- gear from being brought into use when the engine is running. Specifications 28,903/11 and 29,085/11 are referred to.

Filed: 1913-09-29
Granted: 1914-09-29
Abstract: 7422. Edwards, E., and Hanson & Edwards. Sept. 29. Winding - machines. -A traverse mechanism for bobbin-winders is provided with a dual lock such that one member has to be unlocked to allow its motion to unlock a second member to permit the reversal of the traverse. The traverse is effected by a right- and left-handed screwed bar 69, and adjustable stops 73, 74 engage at the end of each traverse with a bar 79 slidably mounted in the traverse carriage. The bar 79 engages pins 82, 83, mounted on a block 84 and a cam 94 respectively. The bar moves the block 84 about its pivot 85 and so causes a spring-pressed roller 89 to ride along a beam 90, which is locked by a spring plunger 95; subsequent movement of the bar operates the cam 94 so as to depress the plunger 95 and allow the roller 89 to tilt the beam 90 and so effect by means of a crank and linkage connected with the pivot pin 91, the engagement and disengagement of the nuts on the screwed bar 69. After the passage of the cam 94, the plunger 95 again locks the beam 90. The stops 73, 74 are adjusted by screws acting upon inclined faces formed on the inner ends thereof. In a modification, a pair of spring plungers are mounted on the traverse carriage and, when engaged in turn by the adjustable stops on the frame, release a latch mounted on a lever and so permit the movement of a weighted lever, which effects the release of a spring lock and the reversal of the traverse nuts.

Abstract: 2759. Emmott, R. Feb. 3. Impact pulverizers.-In a crushing, pulverizing, or disintegrating machine with revolving beaters or hammers 1 working in the spaces between the bars of a curved grid or grate 4 at the lower part of the machine, one or more curved plates or bars 7 with rows of teeth 7<1> on their inner faces, forming paths in which the beaters work, are provided at or near the top of the machine. The plate 7 is pivoted at one side or end 8 and supported by one or more bolts 9, so that it can be adjusted to compensate for wear, the upward movement of the plate being limited by bolts bearing against its rear side, and its inward movement by a piece 12. The teeth 7<1> are staggered or arranged out of line, and may be inclined on one side from the front lower edge to the face of the plate to strengthen them. As shown, the toothed plate extends only over about one-quarter of the casing; but it may extend more or less over the upper half of the machine and may be made in more than one piece or section, each with its adjusting-means. The stone, grain, &c. is fed on to a coarse grating 6 through which the beaters pass, or it may pass directly into the machine. The bottom grid-t 4 may be in two portions so that a coarser grid can be used on one half than on the other to obtain two degrees of fineness in the crushed material, and the upper plates 7 may also be made in two portions with the teeth on one half set farther apart than those on the other half.
