Title: Improvements in or relating to overload or like switches
IPC: H01H50/20
Filed: 1941-12-11
Abstract: 552,602. Electrically-released switches ; electromagnetic switches. IGRANIC ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and TAYLOR, J. R. Dec. 11, 1941, No. 16008. [Class 38 (v)] An overload switch which is adapted to be readily pre - arranged for automatic reclosure upon removal of the overload or for handresetting, comprises an arm 1 which is pivoted at 8 and urged downwards by a spring 17, and a latch member, the short arm 2 of which restrains the arm 1 against its bias, whereas the long arm 3 is adapted to be raised by the pin 9 and plunger 11 of coil 12. For automatic reclosure, a threaded pin 4 is changed from the full-line to the dotted position, Fig. 2, so as to provide a transmission member between the arms 1, 3 whereby pin 9 raises arm 1, the latch 2, 3 being ineffective. A pushbutton (not shown) acts on the extension 7 of the arm 1 both to reset the arm 1 and to provide a hand-release. In order to provide for circuitopening for both directions of movement of the arm 1, a flexible bridge-member 5 carried by the arm has a contact at each end adapted to engage a contact 6, the two contacts 6 being arranged on opposite faces of member 5, Fig. 3. When arm 1 falls member 5 disengages the lefthand contact 6 whereas when the arm is raised the right-hand contact 6 is disengaged. When the switch is pre-arranged for automatic reclosure, both contacts 6 are placed below member 5 so as to minimize the load on the plunger. In a three-phase application, the latch spindle 14 is extended over all phases, the latch 2, 3 being located in the middle phase and arms 13 being provided for the outer phases. The armatures may be delayed by the dashpots described in Specification 952,603, [Group XXXII].

Patent GB-377368-A (GB)
Title: An improved method of and means for starting internal combustion engines
IPC: F01L13/00
Filed: 1931-06-04
Abstract: 377,368. Starting ; turning - gear. JUNKERS, H., 21, Kaiserplatz, Dessau, Anhalt, Germany. June 4, 1931, No. 16307. [Class 7 (v).] To assist an engine over compression points when it is being turned by a starting-device or by the admission of compressed air to the engine cylinders, additional energy is furnished intermittently to the engine shaft from an elastic member such as a spring or a compressed-gas cushion. In one form, Fig. 7, an engine 20 is provided with an electric starter 25, and the engine shaft 21 is connected at starting by a clutch 27 to a crank shaft 1 connected to a piston 14 acting upon a spring 16 in a cylinder 15. The spring 16 is compressed during the outstroke of the engine piston and returns the energy thus stored to the engine shaft on the compression stroke. For a singlecylinder four-stroke engine, the crank shaft 1 is driven through gearing at twice the speed of the engine shaft. In a modification, Fig. 12, a cam 2 on the engine-driven shaft 1 engages a roller 3 on.the rod of a piston 4, which compresses air in a cylinder 5 and is returned by the air pressure when the engine piston 52 is on the compression stroke. Compressed air is admitted to the cylinder 5 by a cock 8 and pipe 75 from a starting-air receiver 60 ; when starting has been effected, the air in the cylinder 6 is allowed to escape through an outlet 9 by turning the cock 8. For multi-cylinder engines, the cam 2 has two or more swells, or is mounted on a shaft driven at reduced speed from the engine shaft. Starting-air is supplied from the receiver 60 to the engine cylinder through valves 62, 67 actuated by slidable cams 64, 68 on the engine crank shaft 53. The spindle 63 of the valve 62 has a bore 71 which connects the pipe 66 to the atmosphere when the valve 62 is closed. At the beginning of the outstroke of the engine piston 52, the valves 62, 67 admit compressed air to the engine cylinder ; the valves 62, 67 then close and the air expands in the cylinder, while the piston 4 compresses air in the cylinder 5. On the return stroke of the engine piston, the valve 67 is opened and the air in the engine cylinder is exhausted through the pipe 66 and bore 71, the piston 4 exerting a drive on the shaft 53. In another form, Fig. 13, starting-air is admitted to the cylinder 51 by a valve 80 and exhausted through the hollow spindle 81 of the valve 80 by a valve 82, the stem of which is provided with a piston 84 co-operating with outlet ports 87 in the spindle 81. Springs 88, 89 are provided and the valves are actuated by a cam 91 through a lever 92 pivoted at 93 on a lever 95 movable to put the valves into or out of use. The starting cycle is similar to that described for Fig. 12.

Abstract: 780.490. Locomotives. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. Sept. 2, 1955 [June 3, 1954], No. 16449/54. Class 79(1) In a water pick-up apparatus a scoop 19 is provided with oppositely directed water inlets 24, 25 to face forwardly and rearwardly on the locomotive, and a pivoted deflector member 22 for directing the water upwardly from the scoop is moved by the pressure of water to the correct deflected position depending on the direction of travel of the locomotive. As shown a cylinder 10 mounted on the locomotive slidably carries a tube 13 carrying the scoop 19 and having an integral piston 14, the tube 13 being axially movable in the cylinder 10 by pneumatic pressure introduced through pipes 27, 28 and a bleed port 31 being provided to prevent leakage through the pipe 27 moving the tube 13 downwardly. The tube 13 is maintained in its upper position by springs 15, 16 and its lower position is determined by a stop 18. Rotation of the tube- 13 is prevented by linkage 26. In the lower position of the tube 13 the scoop 19 picks up water from a trough 20 between the running rails. The upper end of the tube 13 carries a deflector 17 directing the water into fore and aft tanks 11, 12 through a filler trough 29 having overflow ports 30. The invention is applied to an electric locomotive, the water being required for a train heating boiler, and may be applied to replenish the main water tanks of a steam locomotive.

A flame cutting or machining torch has a device 7 for advancing a priming wire 8 to the cutting nozzle, comprising a piston 21 containing a clutch 28 for gripping the wire and operated by oxygen from the main oxygen supply. The stroke of the piston is adjustable by a screwed plug 25. Fuel gas is supplied to the nozzle through screw valve 10 and pipe 4 and oxygen is supplied through screw valve 9 and pipe 3. Cutting oxygen is controlled by a spring-loaded valve 11 actuated by hand lever 30 which first opens an inner valve 15 to permit oxygen flow into pipe 18 leading to the feed piston 21 which thus advances the priming wire 8. Further movement of the lever 30 then opens the valve 11 to start the cutting. Piston 21 is retracted by spring 22 and during this stroke the clutch 28 is inoperative. In another embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), the oxygen supply to piston 21 is controlled by a separate valve.
