Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 21,808. Boivin, A. Oct. 3. [Addition to 25,246/09.] Sugar cutters.-In a machine for breaking and packing sugar, as described in the parent Specification and in Specification 11,706/10, the table 12 conveying the sugar from the breakers 10 to the packing-tongs 33, 34 is given a vertical as well as an horizontal movement. The sugar is fed by pushers 2, 3 between guides 4, 5, the guides 5 being housed in grooves in, and pressed by springs away from, the guides 4. The broken sugar is received. still between the guides 4, 5, on bars 11, and is conveyed to the tongs 33, 34 by bars 12 carried by a support 13 which runs upon the slides 15 which slide in a block 60. Arms 35 upon the support 13 carry a cross-piece 37 slotted to receive pressers 38 for holding the sugar in position. These pressers are guided by spindles 42, are actuated by springs 41 out of alinement with the spindles, and are retained by tongues 40. In operation, as the table 12 approaches the breakers, rollers 50 engage stops 49 and raise the cross-piece 37 and pressers 38, which tilt as shown in Fig. 2. When the table 12 is charged it rises through the bars 11, and the cross-piece 37 is then depressed by springs, so that the sugar is held by the pressers 38, as shown in Fig. 3. When the table returns, the noses 46 of the pressers slide over the sugar between the tongs 33, 34. A bar 52 prevents the sugar to be broken from rising with the table 12. A cam upon a shaft 32 reciprocates the table 12 through a rod 19, sectors 21, 22, pin-and-slot 23, a rock-shaft 18, and rods 16, 17, while a second cam upon the shaft 32 reciprocates the slides 15 through rods 28, 29, 31, 30, 26.

Abstract: 4773. Ljungstr÷m, B., and Widstr÷m, A. D. Feb. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Commutators.-To produce sparkless commutation, the connexions between the winding carrying the current to be commutated and the commutator segments form one of the windings of a transformer of the single-phase or polyphase type, the other winding of the transformer being electrically connected with an alternating-current generator of the necessary number of phases driven synchronously with the main machine. In one arrangement, the commutator connexions n, Fig. 6, of a directcurrent machine, having a rotating armature i, are given the required number of turns around the iron core of a transformer k, the primary coils of the transformer being supplied with current from a subsidiary alternator o having a stationary field-magnet and a rotating armature. The field-magnet coils u of the subsidiary machine are traversed by the current of the main machine (or by a current proportional thereto). The leads between the armature of the subsidiary machine and the transformer are arranged in a hole t in the shaft s. The invention is also described with reference to turbo-generators of the kind in which the commutators are mounted alongside the main machines and form separate parts connected with the main machines by means of stationary conductors and slip-rings. In these cases, the secondary windings of the transformers are connected to the stationary conductors, while their primary windings are supplied by a subsidiary alternator driven either from the main machines or by a synchronous motor.
