Patent GB-190604513-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Control Systems specially applicable to the Operating Means for Bulk-head Doors and the like.
Filed: 1906-02-23
Granted: 1907-02-07
Abstract: 4513. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 23. Door opening and closing apparatus. - In controlling a motor operating ships' bulkhead doors, valves and the like, the motor is made to cut itself out, if brought to rest by an overload. No excess-current circuitbreaker is employed. A twoway switch is used which takes up one or the other of its positions according as the motor is stopped on running, thus establishing alternative control circuits, the first of which, corresponding to the motor at rest, contains a distant switch, while the second contains a resistance, relay, or simple connexion in parallel with the distant switch. One form of the invention is shown in Fig. 2 having a bulkhead door B with a rack E driven by a pinion e geared to the shaft of the motor M. The hand - controller C has two handles, one on each side of the bulkhead, and can also be operated by an electromagnet m when the distant control is utilized. The centrifugally-actuated switch S lies initially as in Fig. 5, allowing circuit to be made through a distant switch s and the electro-magnet m, by which the controller C is turned to the proper position to start the motor. The distant switch is only held closed till the centrifugal switch is thrown over. It can then be opened without affecting the motor, as the electro - magnet m continues to receive current through the alternative circuit. In some cases, especially in operating valves, a greater resistance is put in series with the motor armature for the running position. Should the motor be brought to rest, the switch S is thrown over in series with the open switch s, and the controller C cuts the motor out. Fig. 3 shows the circuit connexions of a modified form of the invention. With the motor at rest, a circuit can be closed from the distant switch s through the coils of an electro-magnetic switch m, which turns the line current on to the motor through part of a resistance R, the motor circuit including a near control switch C, held normally by springs c in the position shown. When the motor speeds up and throws the switch S over, the distant switch is cut out and the whole resistance R put in series with the motor. The electro-magnetic switch m also opens. If the motor is brought to rest, it cuts itself out as in the first form. In a further modification, Fig. 4, both the alternative control circuits operate by electro-magnetic switches r, m, the nature of the motor circuits remaining unchanged.

Title: Improvements in Basket Making Machines.
Inventor: HORTON EMMET
Filed: 1906-11-06
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 24,947. Horton, E. Nov. 6. Feeding sheets.-In a machine for making boxes or baskets, two rectangular blanks of wood veneer or like material are lifted from piles of blanks and are placed crossways, one on the other, on a carrier which conveys them beneath a square form. The blanks, after being bent to form the box, are held together by strengthening-strips wound round the rim of the box. The blanks referred to are shown at X, Fig. 33, in two receptacles 17, 18, from which they are drawn off by two pickers 55, 56, which are mounted on rods 28, 29 having a spring driving-connexion with the vertically-reciprocating rod 21 driven from the toothed wheel 50 on the main shaft 1. The pickers 55, 56 have pivoted to them levers carrying needles which are forced into the top blanks in the receptacles 17, 18. When the picker 55 is raised, a projection on the rod 28 turns the lever 140, this movement causing the release of a spring-pressed pivoted gripper 129, Figs. 20 and 33, which grips the blank against the upper gripper 127. The toothed bar 125 upon which the grippers are mounted is reciprocated by a toothed segment 123 driven from the toothed bar 118, the latter being reciprocated by the crank-pin 76 on the disk 77. When the grippers 127, 129 have brought the blank over the die-box 88, the nut 133 strikes the stop 132, thereby turning the gripper 129 and allowing the blank to fall between the guide-plates 103, 103'. Immediately after this, the needles of the picker 56 are withdrawn from the blank they support, and this blank falls cross-ways upon the other, over the die-box. The bar 118 upon which the die-box is mounted is then moved to the right to bring the die-box beneath the form. The mechanism by which the strengthening-strips referred to are fed into the machine is shown in Figs. 16 and 19. Two piles of the strips Y are stored beneath weights 159 free to slide upon rods 158 arranged on opposite sides of the spindle 165 upon which the form is mounted. The rods 158 are rocked on their axes, and each carries a separator 171 and discharger 172. One end of the lowest blank of each pile is deflected downwards by one of a pair of vertically-reciprocating rods 168 pivoted with needles 170. The separator 171 enters between the two lowest strips, and, after the plunger 177 has disengaged the lowest strip from the needles 170, the discharger 172 causes the strip to slide over curved guides 176 into the path of the plunger 261, which feeds the strip to the form. The previously-described mechanism for transferring the blanks from the picker 55 to the guideplates 103, 103<1>, Fig. 20, may be replaced by the mechanism shown in Fig. 28. When the picker 55 rises, it strikes the levers 149, which turn the plates 150 into an horizontal position beneath the blank. As soon as the picker has released the blank, a plunger pushes the latter forward till it meets the stop 102, Fig. 20.
