Title: Differential Worm Gear for Converting Rotary into Reciprocating or Reversible Linear Motion.
Inventor: SPENCE WILFRID L
IPC: F16H19/00
Filed: 1911-03-16
Granted: 1912-03-18
Abstract: 6581. Spence, W. L. March 16. Steering-gear.-Relates to worm gearing for converting rotary into reciprocating or reversible linear motion, applicable but not limited to mechanisms with remote control such as steering and other operating gears. The invention comprises a worm-wheel, mounted preferably on a roller-bearing stud carried by the cross-head or other part to be reciprocated and gearing on opposite sides with two parallel worm-shafts continuously rotated in opposite directions by independent variable-speed regenerative electric motors, the worm gearing being reversible. In operation, when the two worm - shafts rotate at the same speed in opposite directions, the wheel merely rotates idly, but, when either shaft is rotated more quickly than the other, the wheel rolls along the shaft that is rotating at the lower speed and carries with it the part to which it is attached. In a modification, one of the variable-speed motors is replaced by a constantspeed motor. To ensure immobility when the worms rotate at equal speeds, an electromagnetic or mechanical brake may be added. As shown in Fig. 1, the worm-shafts C, D driven by similar variable-speed shunt motors A, B mesh with a worm-wheel G mounted on a stud carried by the part H, which may be a slide or rack operating a steering tiller or the like. The worm-shafts C, D are preferably supported throughout their lengths by continuous bearings of white metal surrounding rather more than one-half their peripheries. The wheel is preferably run in an oil bath and, where the worms are not similarly immersed, is provided with vanes to throw oil on the wormshafts. In Fig. 3, the motors A, B and wormwheel G are duplicated at A', B', G'. The slide H carries a rack R operating the wheel M keyed to the right and left hand screwed shaft N of a standard steering-gear operating the rudder T through links L. L'. The motors may be controlled from the bridge by shunt-field resistances, or alternatively by a telemotor system or by a chain connexion with the steering-gear fixed amidships or in the engine room. The pitch of the screw-operating gear, Fig. 3, may render a brake unnecessary, but preferably a quick pitch thread is used in combination with an electro-magnetic brake to retain the rudder position. Specification 1559/08, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], is referred to.

Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 13,633. CambessÚdÞs, J. E. F. June 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Rotary distributors, timing-arrangements for. In starting an internal-combustion engine, the distributor is so arranged in connexion with the driving-device of the magneto that it first transmits a starting-spark and afterwards one or more retarded sparks. During the initial part of the drive, the distributor n, Fig. 1, occupies the normal running position shown and transmits a starting-spark. When the lever i reaches its upper position, it engages a tail n<1>, Fig. 3, on the distributor n and shifts it until a projection n<3> snaps into a depression o<2> under the action of a spring p. The distributor n is now in the retarded position and remains there during the latter part of the drive. When the lever i reaches its lowest position it engages another tail n<2> on the distributor and shifts it into the normal running position again, the projection n<3> snapping back into the notch o<1>. In a modification, the retarding is effected by means of a quick-pitch screw.

Title: Improvements relating to Electric-motor and other Driving Arrangements for Machine-tools and the like.
Inventor: FEYER JUSTUS
IPC: D03D51/00
Filed: 1911-08-26
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 19,162. Feyer, J. Aug. 26. Driving-arrangements.-To produce a uniform and elastic drive in electric motor and other driving - arrangements for weaving and like machines, the motor is suspended so as to swing over a large range and is controlled by means of a weighted arm, spring buffers, &c. In one arrangement, the motor 5, Fig. 1, driving a machine through spur-wheels 7, 3, is carried by a swinging arm 4 loosely mounted on the shaft 2. A spring 13 is interposed between an eyebolt 8 and a disk 12 on a rod 10, the latter being jointed to the motor 5. In starting the motor and owing to the resistance of the machine, the motor makes an outward swing and causes the wheel 7 to roll to a certain position on the wheel 3. As the load on the motor is lessened, the spring 13 causes the motor to swing in the opposite direction. According to a modification, the swinging movement of the motor is controlled by a helical spring, the outer end of which is directly connected to the arm suspending the motor while the inner end of the spring is indirectly connected to the motor through a lever. According to a further modification, the motor is suspended at an adjustable distance from a casing enclosing controlling- springs, thereby enabling the wheels 3, 7 to be changed. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement in which the motor 5 is mounted at an adjustable angle from the vertical line by the use of a sliding counterpoise 25. The motor arm 4 has a boss 21 mounted on the shaft 2, and an adjustable ring 22 around this boss and carrying the counterpoise arm 24 may be fixed in different positions by a tightening-screw 23. To prevent excessive swinging of the motor, the boss 21 may be seated on spiral springs made fast to the boss and shaft respectively.

Abstract: 5551. Zickler, K., and Czepek, R. March 19, 1911, [Convention date]. Alternating - current induction machines.- Single or polyphase current of variable voltage and frequency, as required for ship propulsion, is obtained from an asynchronous induction genera- 'tor excited by polyphase current derived from a rotary converter, which is fed from a continuouscurrent machine, the fields of this machine and of the converter both being regulated to control the voltage and frequency supplied. The stator or, as shown, the rotor of the induction generator A is supplied with current from the singlearmature converter C which is driven by continuous current taken from a machine B on the shaft of the machine A or from an independent source. By controlling the excitation of the machines B, C, the voltage and polarity at B and the voltage, speed, and direction of rotation of the converter C mav be varied. Thus, the rotary field impressed on the generator A may be controlled in speed and magnitude and the currents derived from the stator winding may be continuously controlled in voltage and frequency: The rotary converter C may be replaced by a motor - generator or cascade converter, the field in either case being regulated as above described.

Abstract: 11,540. Thompson, S. B. May 15. Hand actuation; force - transmitting mechanism.-In street-car brakes adapted to be operated by power through a system of levers connecting all the brakes of the car, means are provided whereby in the event of the power connexion becoming broken, the set of brakes carried by each truck of the car may be operated by hand from the corresponding end of the car, the hand-gear being connected to the outer lever of the adjacent end of the system. A power cylinder 10 is arranged to operate brake blocks 4 by means of levers 12, 13, pull-rods 17, and levers 21, 22 pivoted to the blocks and connected together by rods 25.
