Patent GB-190700960-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Transmission of Power.
Inventor: HELE-SHAW HENRY SELBY
Filed: 1907-01-14
Granted: 1908-02-14
Abstract: 960. Shaw, H. S. Hele-. Jan. 14. Hydraulic transmission of power. - Hydraulic variable-speed gear of the type described in Specification No. 7479<*>, A.D. 1896, comprises two communicating sets of cylinders and plungers arranged within rings, the eccentricity of which may be varied to produce the speed required. Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section of the apparatus, Fig. 2 a sectional view of one end, and Fig. 3 a sectional view of the other end. The motor shaft is secured to cylinders A which, together with their plungers A', are arranged within a ring C. A hollow shaft F has passages which, through valves G, H, permit communication between the cylinders A and cylinders B in the other part of the gear. The plungers B<2> of these cylinders bear upon a ring B<1> from which the power may be taken. The ring C is made in two parts C', C', which may be separated by screw apparatus C<5>, D<2>. When the two parts of the ring are so adjusted as to make the latter circular, no relative movement between the pistons A' and the cylinders A takes place, and the two parts run at the same speed. On separating the parts C', C<2>, relative movement of the plungers and cylinders may take place, and the ring B<1> rotates at a lower speed than the part A<2>. When the two rings have the same eccentricity, no action of the ring B occurs ; when the eccentricity of the ring C exceeds that of the ring B, reverse motion of the latter takes place. A passage F<1> communicates with the low-pressure chamber P and thus with a storage tank, and a passage F<2> communicates with the high-pressure chamber I<2>, which in turn communicates with the storage tank and low-pressure chamber through a relief or safety valve R.

Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 11,162. Trewent, F. J., and Proctor, W. E. May 13. Actuating valves and cocks sliding valves. - Hydraulic power is employed to open the sea-cock of an ash ejector. The sliding valve j is connected by links m to a spindle k, on which is an arm q, Fig. 2, which is provided with an antifriction roller r and is operated to turn the spindle k by means of the rod p connected to the plunger o of the hydraulic cylinder a. A counterbalance weight on the spindle k closes the door j when the piston of the hydraulic cylinder returns to its normal position. Instead of the door j, a clack valve may be used, worked directly off the spindle k without the links m. The piston-rod may pass right through the cylinder and actuate the valve directly.

Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 1279. Hipkins, W. E., and Parnall, T. St. J. B. Jan. 19. Automatic-feed weighers. -The weight of material between the feeding-device and the weighing-receptacle at cut-off is compensated for by means of a receptacle e pivoted within the weighing-receptacle a. During the main-feed, or, as in the construction shown, during the dribble feed only, the receptacle e occupies the position shown in Fig. 2, and the material, after filling the receptacle e. trickles over into the weighing-receptacle. When the requisite weight is reached, the feed is cut off and the weighing- receptacle discharges, the receptacle e, however. still retaining its contents during the process. As the feed-gate d re-opens. an arm i attached thereto engages a lever g, attached to the receptacle e, and tilts this, so as to discharge the contents into the weighing-receptacle. The receptacle e is retained in the discharging-position by the arm i until the main feed is cut off, when the above cycle of operations is repeated. In a modification, the receptacle e discharges at the base. Specification 4414/02 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Feeding and Reversing Gear for Electrically Operated Rock Drills.
Inventor: ROHDE ROBERT
IPC: E21B19/081
Filed: 1909-11-10
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 26,051. Rohde, R. Nov. 10. Percussive drills. - Electricallyoperated rock drills are automatically fed forwards, reversed and withdrawn, again reversed into position for feeding forwards, and then stopped before the second feedmotion occurs. In a percussive drill, Fig. 1, the motor drives a crank-shaft 6 through a hollow shaft 1, gearing 2, 3, a friction clutch comprising spring - pressed disks 10, 11 alternately keyed to the shaft 7 and to a sleeve 71 secured to the wheel 4, and gearing 4, 5. The crank-shaft 6, through a connecting-rod 12 and cross-head 16, connected by a ball-and-socket joint 13, and through springs 18, 19, reciprocates a piston 26, which carries the drill 22 in a socket 21. Spiral grooves on the piston are engaged by projections in a ratchet-wheel 23 held in one direction by a pawl 24 to rotate the drill intermittently. The piston 26, during its forward stroke, strikes a stop 27 on a spring-pressed bar 29, the spring 28 then returning the bar 29, which, through a pawl 30, ratchet-wheel 32, bevel-gears 55, 56, and a coupling 57, 53, rotates the feed-screw 54 in its nut, and feeds the drill forwards. At the end of the feed, a projection 36 on the cradle 67 causes a spring-pressed pawl 35 to release a projection 37 on the reversing-bar 38. A compressed spring 40 moves the reversing-bar to the rear disengaging the coupling 53, 57, engaging a coupling 50 and causing a spring- pressed pawl 46 to engage a lever 64 on the reversing-bar 38. The feed-screw 54 is now driven through bevel-wheels 58, 51 and the coupling 50 to withdraw the drill. During the withdrawal a movable nut 45 contacts with the rear of the cradle 67, and a spring 44 is compressed. When a second projection on the cradle causes the pawl 46 to release the lever 64, the spring 44 moves the reversing-bar 38 forward. This movement disengages the coupling 50, engages the coupling 53, 57, compresses the spring 40, causes the pawl 35 to engage the projection 37 on the bar 38, and also through a pawl 61 on the lever 64, and a ratchet-wheel 60, turns the switch to stop the machine. Toothed friction, or magnetic couplings may be used. In modifications, the feed-screw is driven directly from the ratchet wheel 32 which is actuated by pawls oscillated by a bell - crank lever, means controlled by the reversing-bar releasing the pawls when required.
