Title: Improvements in Hand Operated Ignition Devices for Starting Explosion Engines
Inventor: GREUTER CHARLES ROBERT
Filed: 1906-07-14
Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 15,969. Greuter, C. R. July 14. Gas and like engines, starting and igniting in. In a multiple-cylinder engine, an auxiliary cam shaft v, Figs. 1 and 4, normally inoperative, is moved longitudinally in its bearings and rotated by hand at starting to actuate the sparking-device of each cylinder in succession. The shaft v may be geared to the cam shaft o of the engine so that, when at rest, the auxiliary cams w are in the correct position to operate first the sparking-device of that cylinder which has last passed the point of compression. Means are provided to restrict the throw of the movable terminal d and to prevent ignition if the,engine reverses. The sparking-mechanism is shown in Fig. 4. A swell p on the face-cam n bears against a latch q on the arm i mounted loosely on the spindle e. The arm i is normally held against the boss h and at right-angles to the arm d by the spring k, which bears against the arm f fixed to the spindle e. The action of the cam first brings the arm d in contact with the insulated terminal b, and then compresses the spring k. When the latch leaves the cam-swell, the terminals are separated by the recoil of the spring. A leather or other suitable pad t, on an arm g fixed to the arm i and at right-angles to it, strikes an abutment u and limits the throw of the arm d. The latch q is pivoted to swing horizontally in one direction only. If the engine reverses, the latch yields to the camswell without moving the arm i and ignition is prevented. To start the engine, the shaft v is slid to bring the cam w opposite projections n on the arms g, and is then rotated. The shaft v may be driven from the cam shaft o in normal working by a chain 2 and chain-wheels s, s<1>. The wheel s<1> is loose on the shaft o and is driven by a clutchcollar 6 splined thereon, which is disengaged by an arm when the shaft v is moved in its bearings for starting. The collar 6 has only one tooth 7 so that it re-engages the two shafts with the two sets of cams in their correct relative positions. By loosening the collars 8, the shaft v may be moved into its operative position without disengaging the clutch 6, so that the sparking-mechanism may be actuated by the cams w if any of the cams n have become inoperative.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Stopping Devices for Electric Lifts or Hoists
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 877. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Clift, A. S. Jan. 14. Lifts; hoists.-The speed of an electric lift or hoist cage is automatically reduced on approaching the stopping-place, and the cage is subsequently brought to rest. The invention is shown applied to a hoist having two cages connected by a cable. At the upper end of the well is mounted a shaft d connected to the brakes and to the electric controller, which may be operated by a hand-lever i. Fixed to the shaft are a pair of crossed arms carrying rollers, which are adapted to engage inclined cams on the cages. An arm e on the shaft d is adapted to engage the weighted levers f, f 1, which are provided with stops g and locking-levers h, h<1>. When the cage a is rising, the controller handle i being swung to the left, Fig. 1, the cam b engages the arm c and gradually rotates the controller into a slow-speed position. As the cage reaches the stopping-place, the tappet k engages and raises the catch-lever h, thereby unlocking the weighted lever f. This acts on the arm e and returns the controller to the 'off ' position. When it is desired to lower the cage a, the handle i is swung to the right, the roller c<3> engaging a cam on the cage a and preventing too rapid acceleration. The rising cage then acts on the controller through the medium of the roller c<2> and catch-lever h<1>. The cams, instead of being mounted on the cage, may be mounted in separate guides and connected to the cage in any suitable manner.
