Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Starting and Reversing the Direction of Motion of Electro Motors Actuating Elevators Hoists and the like.
Inventor: JENSEN AAGE
Filed: 1906-05-05
Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 10,613. Jensen, A., Norballe, H. J., and Lawson, J. L. May 5. Switches for elevators, hoists, &c. have two solenoids, normally connected in parallel, with four cores connected in pairs ; one of each pair operates the reversing-switch, and the others cut resistance out of the armature circuit. The solenoids A, A' have hollow cores B, B', B<1>, B<3>, connected as shown by links C, C<1> with enlarged ends. The lower ends of the cores B, B<1> are conical, and the upper ends of the cores B<2>, B<3> are made hollow to fit over them. The upper cores B, B' are connected by rods F, F<1> to a rocking lever which operates the reversing-switch arm E. In addition to the usual contacts, the arm E carries contacts K to bridge contacts M, M' or M<2>, M<3>, and an insulating-block to separate the contact-springs N, N' or N<2>, N<3>. The lower cores B<2>, B<3> are connected to a heavy iron yoke G, which carries the brush H of the rheostat I. When the switch arm P is moved on to the contact U, a current flows from line L, through the contacts N<3>, N', and then divides, part going through the winding A to return R, and part through the quick make-and-make switch J, solenoid A<1>, back to return R. The arm E is not moved as the pulls on the cores B, B' are balanced, but the pulls on the cores B<3>, B<3> raise the yoke G against the action of the dash-pot 0. The brush R cuts resistance out of the armature circuit, and the switch J is opened by the movement of the yoke G. This breaks the circuit of the solenoid A<1>, and disturbs the balance. The core B is attracted, and the arm E is rotated to open the contacts N, N', while the contacts M, M' are bridged by the piece K, thus again closing the circuit of the solenoid A' to assist in raising the yoke G until the motor is taking its maximum current. All the parts return to their initial positions when the circuit is broken at the switch P. To reverse the motor, the switch P is moved on to the contact D, and the current flows through the contacts N, N<1> to the solenoids. The same action takes place as before, the circuit of the solenoid A being broken to secure a reverse movement of the arm E. The switch J may be omitted, and the yoke G may be lifted by one solenoid: or the solenoids A, A' may be thrown in series when the switch E is in its full 'on' position.

Title: Improvements in Methods of and Apparatus for Casting Metal Bars, Wire, Pipes and the like.
Filed: 1907-01-11
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 811. Marks, E. C. R., [Winner, F. W.]. Jan. 11. Casting. - Bars, wire, pipes, &c. are cast by passing molten metal through a chill, which may or may not rotate on its own axis ; the chill is rotated bodily about a central axis, so that the metal which passes through and is cooled therein is ejected by centrifugal action. A chill 7, Fig. 1, is secured in a socket casing k carried on rollers 5 in a frame on a carriage m sliding on ways n, as controlled by a balance gear 58, 22, and links z, cross-head y, and shaft t, which is raised and lowered at v from a hand-wheel x situated on the working floor of the casting-pit. The socket and chill are rotated by bevel-gear 9, 10 spur-geared to a sprocket drive 16 actuated at 57 by the rotation of the frame h, rolling the pinion 18 round the fixed bevel-wheel s. The wheels 9, 10 may be disengaged when it is not desired to rotate the chill. The frame h is carried by a hollow shaft g supported on balls q, is prevented from rising by a collar bearing in the wheel s, and is driven by the shaft d. A pouring funnel 2 is supported by a sliding plate 3, so that the discharge nozzle 23 is axially in line with the mouth of the chill, both being lined with fire-clay. The body of the chill is cooled by a medium introduced through an axial hole in the shaft t and coupled by a stuffing-box and flexible pipe to a casing 27 on the chill socket. This casing contains rotating blades which force the medium through passages between the chill and socket and in the frame to a collecting-trough 31 with a waste pipe 32. - In a modified construction, suitable for use when the chill does not rotate, the mould is held direct in a frame by bolts and straps. The exit end of the chill is formed by a screwed-on hardened flange, and the metal as it leaves passes over a guide-roller 24 to a trough 25, which may be suspended by hooks for the easy removal of the product. In a modified arrangement, the trough 25 is geared to the shaft g to rotate but at a slower speed. In another modification, the trough is carried on ball bearings carried by extensions of the frame h, and the motion is retarded by a brake.
