Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps.
Inventor: ANGOLD HERBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1905-03-07
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 4740. Angold, H. E. March 7. Arc lamps. - Clutch regulating - mechanism, especially applicable to enclosed-arc lamps, is constructed so that feeding of the electrode through the clutch can only take place when the arc fails. A clutch frame l, Fig. 2, carries levers k, acted upon by springs so as to grip the carbon, and is connected by pins q, slotted links m, and a lever d, Fig. 1, to the core b of a series solenoid c and to a dash-pot e. The carbon a is released only when the links m depress the ends of the levers k. The core b may be tapered downwardly, so that a small current can sustain it when the frame l is resting on a stop l<1>, and, further to prevent its descent, it may be engaged by an iron plate i at the end of the solenoid, which plate is in this case arranged so that it can slide a limited distance on guide-pins i<2>. The iron end plates of the solenoid bobbin are connected by iron strips h<1>, or by an iron shell. In a modification (not shown), the dash-pot and core are pivoted to opposite arms of the lever d, and only one link m and lever k are used. The invention may be applied to multiple-carbon lamps, one or more clutch frames being connected to one series solenoid.

Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 981. Jensen, R. Jan. 14. Safety suspending apparatus.-Relates to safety devices for mine cages, lifts, &c., of the type in which eccentric grips mounted on transverse shafts in the cage are adapted to engage the guides in the event of the hoisting-rope breaking. Fig. 2 is an elevation, and Fig. 3 a plan of the mechanism. The cage B is suspended from the hoisting-rope E by a draw-bar D sliding in a cross-head d to which are connected the side plates C. The cage is guided along the fixed guide-bars a by angle-irons b, which are cut away to allow the engagement of the cams H. These are mounted on transverse shafts G cranked at the centre. the crank-pins being connected by chains h<3> to the top of the draw-bar D. The cranks may be replaced by eccentrics. The shafts G are mounted to slide in slots c<5> formed in wings c<3> on the plate C, and each portion of the shafts is enclosed by a spring R connected at its inner end to an arm of the crank h. Bifurcated links K are mounted loosely on the shafts G, and are hinged to each other by pins k to which are connected spiral springs M fixed at their lower ends to a cross-bar l<1>. In the event of the hoisting-rope breaking, the springs R rotate the shafts G and put the cams H into engagement with the guides. As the cams turn, the shafts G are gradually forced apart, and consequently the links K are lifted and the springs M extended until the pressure of the cams is sufficient to hold the cage. The rotation of the shafts G is limited by the engagement of a projection on an adjustable collar m with a stop on the links K. The normal distance between the shafts G is adjusted by vertical rods N connected at their lower ends to the pin k and passing upwards through the cross-head d. The upper ends of the rods are screwed to receive nuts, which bear on adjustable bushings p<1>. A hood or cover F. is hinged to the upper extremities of the angle-irons b, and rests on stops c<2>. The cams H are formed so that the angle between the normal to the curve at any point and the line joining the point to the centre of the shaft G is less than the angle of repose, so that the cams grip firmly against the guides. As the radius of the cam increases, the angle may decrease.
