Title: Improvements in or relating to Toothed Gearing.
Inventor: WESTINGHOUSE GEORGE
IPC: F16H57/02
Filed: 1911-04-12
Granted: 1912-04-12
Abstract: 9131. Westinghouse, G. April 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Toothed gearing. - In reducing-gearing applicable in connexion with marine turbine-driven propellers, one of the intermeshing wheels, or one set of such wheels where more than two wheels are employed, is mounted in a floating frame supported by means of fluid under pressure in such a manner as to permit resilient transmission and also a certain relative angular motion between the shafts to equalize the distribution of pressure between the intermeshing teeth. The arrangement also includes a pressure gauge which indicates the power transmitted by the gears during operation. The floating frame 17 in which the driving - shaft 26 is mounted, comprises two sections 18, 19 secured together and having projecting portions 20, 21 which are held in bearings 22, 23 in a base frame 1. The floating frame rests upon a series of pistons 14, 15, 16 in cylinders 3, 4, 5, and is supported by oil or other fluid pumped through a restricted passage 6 into a channel 7 communicating with the cylinders through ports 8, 9, 10. A flange 24 upon the floating frame is arranged to prevent the escape of fluid from the intermediate cylinder 5 until the pressure thereof is sufficient to lift and support the frame 17. Such pressure may be indicated by a gauge 41. Struts 31 in adjustable socket bearings 30 in the base frame are provided to maintain the gears in proper engagement and to restrict the shaft 26 to displacement in the plane II-II. When the shaft 26 is required to drive in either direction of rotation, a duplicate set of pistons 33, 34, 35 and co-operating parts is arranged on the opposite side of the floating frame, as shown in the drawings. The pinion-carrying shaft 26 may be hollow and connected at one end to an internally located shaft 26<a> which is connected to the high - speed machine through a suitable coupling 26<b>.

Abstract: 10,164. Schewelin, W. April 29. Rollers and roller heads.-In the drawing of sliver or slubbing, containing short fibres of equal or unequal length, the material 14 is held upon the surfaces of the feed and delivery rollers 1<1>, 1<2>, Fig. 1, by two or more rollers 6, 7 of small diameter adapted to rotate and press the material against the said surfaces over a length less than the length of the fibres or the lengths of the shorter or predominating fibres, the length of the section over which drawing takes place being varied by altering the diameters of the small rollers. Additional pressing-rollers 11, 12, 13 may be provided for pressing the material against the feed and delivery rollers; a further roller 1<3>, small rollers 6<1>, 7<1>, and pressing-rollers 11<1>, 12<1>, 13<1> may be provided, and the surfaces of the feed and delivery rollers or of one of them may be covered with an elastic material. The drawn slubbing forms a continuation of the common tangent between the last two rollers of the series. The shafts of the rollers 6, 7, 11, &c. are journaled in slots 23, Fig. 6, in frames 19, the slots being radial to the rollers 1<1>, 1<2> and the ends of the shafts carrying drawbars 25 provided with springs 22 and nuts 21 so that the pressure of the rollers against the feed and delivery rollers can be adjusted. Two sets of slots 23 are provided as shown, so that by transferring the rollers 7, 12, 13 to slots on the opposite side of the roller 1<2>, and revolving this roller in the opposite direction to the roller 1<1>, material with very long fibres may be treated. In a modification, Fig. 8, a single large roller 1<2> and a plate 6 are used, the material being held against the roller and plate by rollers 7, 11 of small diameter; additional pressing-rollers 12, 13 are provided and the material is drawn through an eye 5 which causes thick parts in the sliver to be drawn out. The apparatus may be used separately, or applied to, and form part of a spinning-frame. The small rollers may be combined with the bottom drawing-rollers of continuous spinning-machines, mules, and the like, in which case the small rollers are arranged in pairs in yokes provided with rods which pass through openings in frame and are controlled by set screws bearing upon rubber buffers or spiral springs arranged in the openings. Specification 2476/65 is referred to.
