Title: Improvements in and relating to dividing engines
Filed: 1921-02-24
Abstract: 166,107. Glattig, G., and K÷rner, J. July 8, 1920, [Convention date]. Dividing - engines. -Consists of a ma.- chine for marking angular graduations in which the work is moved step by step by an oscillating arm adapted to be alternately coupled to and uncoupled from it, the extent of movement of the arm being defined by two abutments, one of which is adjustable. A shaft 9 carrying the work 24 is carried in a stock 3 and can be rigidly secured thereto by turning a wheel 20 which rotates an eccentric member 22, Fig. 7, interposed 'between the shaft and the stock. Pivoted on the shaft 9 is an arm 8 which can be locked to the shaft by turning a wheel 10; the arm 8 carries an arm 12 to which is pivoted a roller 13, and also carries an abutment 27. Carried by an extension 4 of the stock 3 is an abutment 7 co-operating with the abutment 27, and also a micrometer 5 for vertical adjustment of an abutment 28 which co-operates with the roller 13. The arm 12 is secured to a rotatable spindle 14 and can be adjusted laterally by screws 19 until the distance between the centres of the shaft 9 and roller 13 is a known quantity, say 100 mm. The micrometer 5 is then set to correspond to the sine, of the angle through which the work is to be turned between successive markings. By oscillating the arm 8 between the positions defined by the abutments 27, 28 the work is turned step by step through the desired angle, the arm 8 being released from the shaft 9 during its upward motion, and clamped thereto during its downward motion. Also during the upward motion of the arm the shaft 9 is held against rotation by turning the wheel 20. The roller 13 is withdrawn from engagement with the abutment 28 during the downward motion of the arm 8 by turning the arm 12 through a rightangle about the axis of the screws 19. In a modification, a single rotatable member carries two radially-adjustable abutments at right-angles to each other and adapted to be brought alternately into engagement with the arm 8.

Title: Starting device for reserve power apparatus driven by a combustion engine
IPC: H02P9/08
Filed: 1956-03-01
Abstract: 786,247. Starting prime movers; substituting machines in service. ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA AKTIEBOLAGET. March 1, 1956 [March 10, 1955],No. 6418/56. Class 38 (4). In a standby power supply arrangement wherein a standby generator is driven by an internal combustion engine a gear-wheel associated with the starter motor for the engine is engaged with the engine immediately after the engine has stopped so that upon initiating the starting operation no time is lost in engaging the starter motor with the engine. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus in readiness for starting the engine. In starting, the operating coil of a relay R2 is energized thereby energizing the operating coil of a relay M1 to raise a latch S. Relay coil M2 is thus energized to open a fuel cock or complete the ignition circuit for the engine. The operating coil of a relay R3 is also energized which then allows relay R1 to be energized, the contact of which completes the circuit of a starter motor A to a battery B, thereby starting the engine by means of the meshed gears F, D. When the engine has started these gears are disengaged by a spring since the latch S is raised, the latch S being then maintained raised by the shaft G as shown in Fig. 2. Operation of the relay R3 effects a supply of current to the operating coil of a delayed action relay R5. The delay period of this relay allows the engine a certain time in which to start; if during this time the engine does not start the relay operates, thereby deenergized relays R1, R2, R3 over its upper contact and operating an alarm by means of its centre contact. Its lower contact is a selfmaintaining contact, de-energization of the relay being effected by a push-button T. If, however, the engine starts and the gears F, D are disengaged a contact K2 is opened, thereby deenergizing relay R3 and, in consequence, relay R1, so that the current to the starter motor ceases. An economy contact is also opened. To stop the engine relay R2 is de-energized, and subsequently relay coil M2 contacts K1, K2, K3 are then closed so that a relay R4 is energized and is maintained energized over a contact in parallel with contact K3. Relay R5 is now energized and an impulse generator E supplies the relay R1 with impulses which cause the gears F, D to re-engage when the latch S falls to lock them into engage. The relay R5 also governs the period for this operation. When the latch S falls the relays are de-energized. The starter motor may have a slidable rotor or a gear co-operating with a screwed shaft.
