Title: Improvements in Electric Starting Machines having Flywheels that can be Uncoupled therefrom when Working with Light Loads.
Filed: 1906-06-30
Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 14,945. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke Ges.]. June 30. Distributing.-In electrical starting-machines a<1> having detachable fly-wheels s, overloading of the electric motors t<1> when the fly-wheels are uncoupled is prevented by so limiting the excitation of the machines a<1> on uncoupling the fly-wheels that their output of energy cannot exceed the maximum permissible load of the motors. The excitation of the machines a<1> may be adjusted by limiting the movement of the controlling-lever of the machine a<1>, or by introducing a resistance into the excitation circuit. This may be effected by an electro-magnet, the circuit of which is controlled by a contact c on the lever h by which the clutch k<1> is operated. The fly-wheels of several starting-machines may be combined, and the releasable clutches may be so arranged that the fly-wheels can be coupled either to one or to all of the machines, and can be set in motion by one of the machines and then coupled to another machine already running.

Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 4939. Mantle, F. March 1. Tumbling-barrels.-A tumbling-barrel for polishing and burnishing articles of jewellery and other small metal articles has a combined rotary and reciprocatory movement imparted to it. The barrel i is carried in a suitable frame g<3>, Fig. 2, mounted on a sleeve g loose on the shaft a. The shaft a is reciprocated in its bearings a<2> by the action of a loosely-mounted disk d, driven by a belt and connected to a bolted-down plate f by an eccentricallymounted connecting-rod e with ball-and-socket fittings. The reciprocation of the shaft a causes the barrel i to be jerked backwards and forwards between stops h on the shaft. The rotary motion of the shaft is imparted to the barret by a pin j bearing against the frame. Springs h<2> are provided between the sleeve g and the stops h. The barrel may be carried by sleeves k, Fig. 4, loose on parallel guides a<3> on the end of the shaft a, or on the bifurcated end of the shaft. Stops l are mounted on the guides and the barrel is reciprocated between them. The reciprocation of the spindle may be obtained by a rod and crank or any other well-known device.

Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps.
Filed: 1907-03-26
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 7279. Angold, H. E., and Maxim Electrical Co. March 26. Arc lamps.-In an inclined-carbon flame - arc lamp, such as that described in Specification No. 23,012, A D. 1906, having a " floating feed" mechanism to keep the arc constant, the carbons are positively fed downward through tubes b, Fig. 1, connected to the mechanism, by clutches e actuated by solenoids n which come into action at a definite position of the feedmechanism. The tubes are of large diameter and are provided with spring-pressed conductive contacts c, Fig. 3, which normally detain the carbons. In the construction shown, washer clutches e, tilted by springs i, are connected to a lever p actuated by the core of solenoids n. These solenoids are either in the shunt circuit described in the above-mentioned Specification, this circuit being closed by a switch actuated by the regulating-lever so as to break the arc when the carbons are fed, or they are in a second shunt circuit which is closed by the regulating-lever before the first circuit is closed. In the latter case, the arc is not broken when the carbons are fed, and the first shunt circuit and its switch form a cut out. The tubes b, which may be mounted on other tubes, are either moved longitudinally or rocked about pivots r to regulate the arc ; they may be fitted with feeding cams or levers, as described in the above-mentioned Specification.
Patent GB-190710844-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with the Change-speed Mechanism of Motor Propelled Vehicles.
Inventor: MEYER ERNST GUSTAV
Filed: 1907-05-09
Granted: 1908-05-11
Abstract: 10,844. Meyer, E. G. May 9. Variable - speed gearing ; clutches. -Relates to clutches for interposing between the driving-gear and the balance-gear of a motor-vehicle to prevent shocks on changing speed. An ' isolating ' clutch, which allows slip, is combined for this purpose with a 'locking' or positive clutch. A form employing a cone isolating-clutch is shown in Fig. 2. A friction member c and a claw member d are fast on the speed-gear shaft m. A friction member a slides on a feather on a sleeve h rotatively connected to the tail-shaft g. The sleeve h carries a claw member b thrust towards the member d by a spring e. The member a is thrust towards the member c by a relatively weak spring f butting against an operating collar l fast on the sleeve h. A lever, engaging the collar l, disengages the members b, a, in succession, when the gear is to be changed. When the collar l is released, the member a starts the shaft g rotating so that the member b engages later without shock. The engine clutch may be simultaneously disengaged and the driving-gear part of it braked as described in Specifications Nos. 10,416 and 12,232, A.U. 1906. Figs. 3 and 4 show a form in which the isolating- clutch is of the roller-ratchet type. The rollers n lie in inclined recesses in a member a fast on the driven shaft g. A hollow member c on the speedgear shaft m is adapted to engage the rollers n and drive the shaft g without allowing the road wheels to drive the gear through the shafts g, m when the engine clutch is disengaged. This clutch is locked by claws upon a member b sliding on a square part of the shaft g engaging claws upon a flange p of the member c. Means are provided for withdrawing the member b before changing speed simultaneously with the disengagement of the engine clutch but keeping the member b engaged during the reverse drive. A lever q, Fig. 5, which operates the member b is normally connected by a spring rod z and link u to a crank t upon a pedal shaft s which disconnects the engine clutch. When the speed-changing lever is operated to effect reversal of the shaft m, Fig. 3, a cam 6, Fig. 5, strikes the rod u upwards so that a crosspin v on its end falls into a longitudinal slot x in the rod z, effectually breaking the connexion between the shaft s and lever q. According to the Provisional Specification, the locking-clutch may be a simple bolt actuated by hand. The clutch described in Specification No. 12,232A, A.D. 1906, may be locked by hand by screw action.

Patent GB-190724006-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electro-magnetic Relays.
Filed: 1907-10-30
Granted: 1908-10-30
Abstract: 24,006. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 30: Switches. - Relates to relays for use in motor control systems and more particularly for latching the controller drum when the current exceeds a certain amount, and consists in means for reducing the difference between the current at which the relay pulls up and that at which it drops. For this purpose, the relay is provided with means tending to move the core in a direction opposite to that in which the actuating- coil tends to move it, and the force exerted by these means is automatically increased after the relay has acted. On the base 5 is mounted the actuating- coil 6, in the field of which moves the iron core 7 provided with guide-rods 8, 9. A conducting-disk 12 is yieldingly mounted on a rod 9, and bridges the fixed contacts when the core is raised. The motion of the core 7 is opposed by a spring 20, mounted between the disk 21 on the rod 9 and the split end of the bell-crank 23. In circuit with the coil 6 is a second coil 27, the iron core 28 of which is bent to form a bracket 24 to which the bell-crank 23 is pivoted, the motion of which is limited by the stop 25. The coil 27 is designed so that it acts more slowly than the coil 6, so that it attracts the bellcrank 26 and compresses the spring 20 after the core 7 has risen its full amount, and thus increases the force tending to cause the core 7 to drop. The.effect of this is to cause the core 7 to drop after a smaller decrease of current then it would if the force exerted by the spring 20 were constant. A motor control system of the separately-actuated contact type is also described, in which the master switch is provided with a locking-device which will restrain it from further movement if at any time the current in the motor circuit exceeds a certain value, the operation of the locking-device being controlled by the relay described.
