Granted: 1914-10-15
Abstract: 3893. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. Feb. 14, 1913, [Convention date]. Regulating.-In turbines with governorcontrolled oil-operated valves, the valve for the admission of auxiliary motive fluid is designed so that, under overload conditions, the piston of the servomotor first moves slowly without the valve, then rapidly with the valve through a short distance, the final motion of the valve being effected by the motive fluid, the piston being stationary. The auxiliary valve a is mounted upon a stem h connected through a lost-motion device i to the rod g of a piston. comprising two parts f<1>, f<2>. Under normal conditions, oil is admitted by way of a pipe e and flows through a port w, past the piston f<1>, to a waste-pipe f. The oil pressure below the piston f<2> under normal conditions cannot lift the piston against the pressure of a spring c. Upon an increase of oil pressure, the oil raises the piston f<2>, but the lost motion i allows the valve a to remain closed. On the continued motion of the piston, the lost motion is taken up, and oil can reach the piston f', which at the same time cuts out the waste conduit f. The effect is a rapid opening of the valve a to the limit of travel of the piston. Further motion of the valve a is allowed by the lost motion and is effected by the steam pressure acting on the valve itself.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Stopping Gear for Power Driven Machines.
Inventor: SCHOENKY AUGUST RUDOLPH
IPC: G05G15/04
Filed: 1914-01-27
Granted: 1915-01-27
Abstract: 23,823. Schoenky, A. R. Jan. 27. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery comprises variable - speed gearing arranged between a driving-shaft 41, Fig. 1, and a driven shaft 13, this gearing being operated directly by the driven shaft 13 when a connexion is rendered operative, so as to bring that shaft to rest gradually in a definite stopped position. The application to sewing- machines is described in Specification 2204/14, [Class 112, Sewing &c.], the driven machine or element being in the space between the ends of the shaft 13 shown broken. During working, the shaft 13 is driven through gearing 54, 53, 52 from a shaft 46, which carries a friction roller 49 engaging a disk 47 on the shaft 41. The stopping-gearing, when connected up, shifts the roller 49 along the shaft 46 until it comes opposite the centre of the disk 47, whereupon the roller stops rotating. A gear-wheel 72 driven from a gear 73 on the shaft 13 has a cam-groove 70 in its face, as shown in Fig. 2. The roller 49 is moved by way of a fork 57, rod 59, toothed gearing 62, rod 65, and a stud 68. When the machine is to be stopped, the gear 72 is moved to the right from the position shown in Fig. 1 until the groove 70 engages the stud 68. The rod 65 is then thrust downwards until the whole arrangement stops, except the driving-shaft and disk. In a sewing - machine, this stopping- connexion is made by way of linkage 76, 77. 79, 80 from a lever 75 worked by the knee of the attendant. When the gear 72 is disengaged from the stud 68, a spring 66, Fig. 2, thrusts the rod 65 upwards, starting the machine. A spring stop 98 may be provided at the end of the groove 70 to prevent shock, or the end of the groove 70 may be extended outwards for the same reason.
