Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 14,680. Lorenz, R. July 18, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Drawing.-Continuous wire-drawing machines have conically arranged sets of drawing and guiding pulleys A, C, D, F, Fig. 1, and two sets of drawing- dies for different wires arranged side by side, two machines occupying the space of one. The drawing-pulleys C and guiding-pulleys A of the one set are larger than those of the other, and on each shaft a large pulley of one set alternates with a smaller pulley of the other set, allowing the complete sets to be arranged in parallel order. The pulleys A, D are loose on their shaft. A wire I passes round the lowest pulley A, through the die 3, Fig. 3, of the set B, twice round the drawing-pulley 5, round the guide-pulley 6, and so on, proceeding to 20, where it passes to the next machine. A winding-drum 7 fast on the shaft 1 receives a wire I' coming from the preceding machine. A finer wire II passes round the other pulleys and through the dies E similarly to the wire I and is received on the drum 10, the latter with the pulleys C, F being fast on the shaft 4. The dies E are rotated by open gearing connecting them together and to a shaft driven by worm gearing from the shaft 11. Each of the dies B is rotated by gearing from the corresponding die E.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Current Collectors for Electrically Propelled Vehicles.
Filed: 1907-02-20
Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 4263. Allgemeime Elektricitõts-Ges. Feb. 23, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Electric traction on the overhead conductor system. Collectors.-Consists in means for raising or lowering one or other of two pairs of overhead collectors by fluid pressure, forÀtravelling in either direction. The collectors 1, 2, 3, 4 are carried on insulators mounted on pivoted elbow-levers c<1>, c<2>, c<3>, c<4>, each of which is attached at one end to the piston of a cylinder, admission of compressed air into which raises the collector. The other arms of the elbows are coupled pair and pair by short links to rocking-bars e<1>, e<2>, the pins of which move in slots in fixed blocks g. Pipes h<1>, h<3> and h<2>, h<4> couple the cylinders of corresponding collectors through stop-cocks to a reversing-valve k, the detail of which is shown in Fig. 2. The valve is supplied with fluid pressure from a three-way cock H. the valve k has two plungers s<1>, s<2>, Fig. 2, controlled by springs so as normally to admit pressure to the cylinders, and a cam r, by raising either valve, exhausts the pairs of cylinders through ports u<1>. The cam is operated by a lever n having a spring- mounted operating-roller p and rocked by electromagnets m<1>, m<2> under the driver's control. In the position shown, the cylinders b<1>, b<3> are open to atmosphere and the collectors 1, 3 are raised. On reversal, the arms 1, 2 do not begin to move until the arms 3, 4 have changed over, in order that the current may not be interrupted. This is effected by a throttle, Figs. 3 and 4, which is placed in the pipes h<1>, h<2>. The inlet is closed by a plate u having a central hole w and a circle of holes x, which are covered by a flexible plate v having a hole at its centre. Admission of air to the cylinder can only occur through the hole w, so that the arms 1, 2 are raised slowly. To lower the arms quickly, as in case of emergency, the pipe h<5> is opened to atmosphere through the cock H, whereby the cylinders b<1>, b' are rapidly exhausted through all the holes in the plate u. The lever n may be mechanically coupled to the car controller, or other arrangements may be made whereby the collectors are changed over automatically when the direction of travel is reversed.
