Title: Improvements in Hedge or Verge Trimming Apparatus.
Inventor: WOODFIELD HARRY WILLIAM
IPC: A01G3/053
Filed: 1912-02-29
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 5046. Woodfield, H. W., and Billington, J. E. Feb. 29. Hedge - cutting machines.-Hedge or verge trimmers are arranged so that they may be manipulated by both hands while being driven from a separate manually or mechanically operated power-unit by means of a jointed or flexible shaft. Fig. 1 shows a rotary cutter 3 working against a fixed cutter 2 mounted on a frame 1 on a spade-shaped handle 10, which is adapted to be grasped by both hands. The cutter 3 is driven by bevel-gearing 4, 5, a spindle 6, and a flexible shaft 7, which is adapted to be connected to a long flexible shaft and is mounted in a sheath 8. A flexible shaft may be connected directly to the spindle 11 of the rotary cutter. Fig. 3 shows a manuallyoperated power-developing appliance for driving the flexible shaft, which is connected to a spindle 13 rapidly rotated by spur, belt, or chain gearing 14, 15, 16 and a handle 17. The stand 18 is provided with a handle 19 and a stirrup for the foot, and it may be mounted on a wheeled trolly. In a modification of the cutting - apparatus, two rotary star - shaped cutters are driven in opposite directions by a flexible shaft and bevel-gearing, and are held in contact by a spring or distance-piece. Fig. 6 shows apparatus for supporting and driving the cutters. The casing 1 is freely suspended by a cord 33 from a jib 32, which is rotatable on a vertical pivot 32<a> on a trolly on which is a motor 35 for driving the flexible shaft 31. The cord 33 runs over pulleys 41, and is connected to a balance weight 34. The shaft 31 is driven through shafts 37, 42 and a clutch 36 operated hy a lever 38. The trolly may be propelled by driving the wheels 40 from the motor by means of a chain 44, clutch 45, and shaft 46. Fig. 7 shows oscillating cutters mounted on a spindle 49 in a casing 50 and actuated by eccentric cams engaging in gaps or slots 47<a>. The cams are on a shaft 51 driven by the flexible shaft. One of the cutters may be fixed. Fig. 9 shows two reciprocating cutters 53, 54 held in contact in grooves in a casing 60 by pins 62 passing through slots. They are driven by rollers 64 extending between projections 53<b> and mounted on spur-wheels, which are geared together and driven by a flexible shaft, or by bevel-gearing 57, 58, shaft 59, and a flexible shaft 66. One of the cutters may be fixed, and a cover may be placed over the gearing. The Provisional Specification refers to Specifications 23,921/99 and 24,067/99, and describes rotary cutters having saw teeth at the back.

Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 18,059. Sayer, R. C. Aug. 8. Driving-arrangements for motors; reversing. -Relates to apparatus of the kind in which a motor revolving continuously in the same direction can be turned end for end about a vertical or other axis so that either end of the motor shaft may be clutched to the driven shaft, which is thus driven in either direction. Fig. 1 shows an elevation of the arrangement, Fig. 2 an elevation at rightangles to Fig. 1, and Fig. 7 an enlarged plan of a portion. The motor a is fixed to a circular frame f, which is supported by means of horizontal rollers h on an outer concentric ring i carried by arms k connected to bearings l for the driven shafts. Both ends of the motor shafts may be clutched to driven shafts, and the motor can be turned through an angle of 180 degrees so as to reverse the direction of rotation of the driven shafts, or can be turned through a different angle to engage another pair of shafts, which may be geared to a final driven member at a different speed ratio. When applied to a motor-vehicle, the brackets k projecting from the outer ring i are supported by springs 9 in horn blocks 10, as shown in Fig. 2. Worm gearing is provided for adjusting the motor and its supporting-ring f relatively to the outer ring i. Combined friction and toothed clutches operated by fluid pressure connect the driving and driven shafts. The driving-members of the clutches secured to the motor shaft consist of a spherical plate d, Fig. 8, having several groups of teeth t. The driven members each comprise four sets of cylinders, shown in Fig. 9, adapted to thrust smooth outer annular members n against the driving-plate d, and also force teeth s, carried on an inner member, into engagement with the teeth on the plate d. The smooth and toothed members are operated respectively by an outer piston n and by an inner piston working in the outer piston. The teeth s may be turned about the axis of their piston so that they cannot engage. Valves v, Fig. 1, are operated simultaneously so as to regulate the supply of fluid to the clutches.

Abstract: 5934. Signal Ges. March 11, 1913, [Convention date]. Buoy signals.-In systems for actuating apparatus by sound or electro-magnetic waves, the receiving-apparatus is arranged to respond to a train of waves of predetermined duration only. The receiving-relay closes the contact E while the impulses are coming in, thus energizing the magnets d, k. The magnet d releases the clock-work a, which rotates the arm c from its normal position N. The magnet k raises the arm l, and if the duration of the train of received impulses is that for which the apparatus is set, the magnet k drops the arm l at the moment the arm c is beneath it, thus energizing the actuating-magnet m. As soon as the magnet d is de-energized, the arm c is returned by a spring or weight to the normal position. A number of contacts E may be provided, to be actuated by relays responsive to different frequencies. The system may be used for controlling the lighting-apparatus of a lightbuoy.

Title: Improved Switching Arrangements for Rotary Converters.
IPC: H02K47/08
Filed: 1914-06-15
Granted: 1915-08-05
Abstract: 14,384. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, (Siemens Schuckertwerke). June 15. Rotary converters.-In systems in which the direct-current side of a rotary converter is connected in parallel with other converters or sources of direct current, the opening of the main switch c on the alternating-current side closes at the switch g an auxiliary circuit through a coil f, which, being energized from the direct-current mains d, opens the main switch e on the directcurrent side. This arrangement prevents the converter from running as a motor when the alternating-current supply is cut off; consequently, any danger of its ' racing ' as a motor under a weakened field is avoided. A switch h in the auxiliary circuit is connected to the switch e so as to be operated simultaneously therewith.
