Abstract: 609,949. Variable-speed gears. THORNTON, A. A. (Falk Corporation). March 26, 1946, No. 9326. [Class 80 (ii)] In a variable-speed transmission, a set of inclined planet rollers 32 having bearings 33 guided radially in end plates 34 of a cage 20 integral with a driving shaft 21, are centrifugally urged against two encircling torque sustaining rings 40, 42. Each roller 32 carries a pinion 45 which meshes with a ring gear 46 carried by a drum 19 secured to a driven' shaft 14. A fulcrum ring 36 loosely mounted on a shaft 26 in the cage 20 provides additional means for forcing the rollers 32 against the rings 40, 42, the cage being constantly urged towards the right by the springs 31. The speed ratio may be varied by movement of the ring 42 along the roller sections 41, the actuating means comprising a pin 421 secured to the ring 42 engaging in a slot 48 in a fixed member 49 and also in a diagonal slot 57 in a movable block 50. Thus, rotation of a screwed shaft 51 produces transverse movement of the block 50, and hence longitudinal movement of the ring 42. The slot 57 may be curved in order that the relation between regulator movements and resulting speed changes may be maintained uniform throughout the speed range. An indicating device comprising a circular dial 62 and pointer 67 is operated by a pinion 64 on a spindle 63 which meshes with a rack 66 in the block 50.

Filed: 1928-03-30
Abstract: 312,746. Clayton Installations, Ltd., and Muirhead, W. A. March 30, 1928. Sulphur burners. - A furnace for burning sulphur to generate sulphur dioxide for use in fire extinguishing, fire preventing and disinfecting, is adapted to be operated by forced draught until rapid combustion is taking place and then by induced draught. Mats for fibres of non-ccmbustible and absorbent material such as asbestos mav be immersed in the sulphur. To start the combustion, the furnace may be heated by external means or methylated spirit or hydrocarbon may be sprayed over the sulphur. As shown in Fig. 1, the sulphur 13 on which asbestos mats 14 are placed, is sprayed with methylated spirit or hydrocarbon from a pipe 15 temporarily introduced and the liquid is ignited. Air drawn through a pipe 4 is forced by a blower 3 through a pipe 7 and distributor 8 and the generated sulphur dioxide is expelled through baffles 2 and pipe 9 to an outlet 12. The position of the valves 5, 6, 10 is changed simultaneously by a rod 18 so as to cause the blower 3 to draw air into the furnace through a pipe 27 and to draw the sulphur dioxide through coolers 22, 24 and to expel it through the outlet 12. A portion of the air may enter the furnace through a valve 29 and pipe 30 above the lower baffle 2. The position of the valves 5, 6, 10 may be regulated automatically by a thermostat in the furnace chamber, and that of the valve 29 by a thermostat in the cooler 22. To prevent the charging door 41 of the furnace being opened when the furnace is being operated with a forced draught, a projecting arm on a series of levers connected with the rod 18 is arranged to contact with door-operating mechanism. In a modification, separate blowers for obtaining the forced and induced draughts are used. The blower may be driven by electric motors, the current supply to which is controlled by means operated simultaneously with the movement of the rod 18 controlling the valves 5, 6, 10.
