Title: Improvements in Overwind Prevention Gear for Colliery Winding Engines.
Inventor: SMITH JAMES
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1913-04-26
Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 9840. Smith, J. April 26. Overwinding, preventing.-Colliery winding- engines are controlled in such a way that steam is directed by valve mechanism to ensure starting in the proper direction; and a valve is actuated by the motion of the engine shaft so as to cut off steam before the end of the wind, this valve being adjustable according as men or minerals are being wound. Steam is supplied to the engine through a pilot valve comprising a casing 1 with two piston valves 3, 4, Fig. 4, attached to a rod 5 operated by the reversing- lever 11. The steam enters at a central opening and passes along one or other of the passages 14, 15, according to the direction of the wind, and into a second casing 13 divided centrally by a partition 19 and having two exits 16, 17, which unite into a single pipe leading to the engines. The pistons 21, 22 in this valve are oppositely threaded on a rod 20, Fig. 5, which is coupled by a linkage 25, to a rod 26 having a notch engaging a pin 28 on a disk 29 rotated half a revolution during each wind by means of a shaft 35 and worm gear 32 from the drum shaft. When men are being wound, the valves 21, 22 are adjusted towards each other, so as to cut off steam automatically before the end of the wind. The adjustment is effected by a weight 24 rotating a pulley 41 geared to the rotatable valve spindle 20, the weight coming into action automatically by the release of a pawl when the keps at the pit-bank are put into use for landing men. When coal is being wound and the keps are out of use, the pawl is in engagement, and the weight 24 can be wound up to any desired height by a crank handle 40, the corresponding adjustment of the valves 21, 22 being indicated on a scale by a pointer. An arm driven by bevel-gear from the cross-shaft 31 is arranged to push the brake lever 56 off its support, thereby applying the ordinary brake 57 prior to the end of a wind. An emergency brake 46, Fig. 3, is operated through a linkage 47<1> by a weight 48 but is normally kept off by a strut 49 resting on a pin 51 secured to a crank 52 on the shaft 31. Should the engine overwind, the pin 51 reaches a position that allows the weight to apply the brake 46.

The sphere spindle 2 is geared to a time dial mechanism 6 and has a milled disk 5 for setting it, the whole being mounted on a frame 3, having an upright 7 to which is pivoted an arm 9 with a graduated circle to read against a pointer 13. The arm 9 is counterweighted and carries a bar 10 at right-angles on which is journaled a pointed spindle 15 carrying a graduated arc 19 along which moves a pointer 21. The angular movement of the arc 19 around the spindle is read off on a dial 18. Problems can be solved which involve latitude, time, position of the observer, identification of observed star, and the like, the globes being marked temporarily by the pointers 15, 21 where necessary. For use on land, the polar axis is adjusted parallel to the earth's axis by means of a joint 33, 34 formed of tubes fitted on a rod 35 working in a socket 36 attached to a plate 37 with levelling-screws, the polar axis fitting in a socket 60 attached to the moving part 33 of the joint, and carrying a plate 3. When the adjustment is complete, the whole is embedded in cement below the plate 3, which has legs to engage the cement. In this form, a semicircular graduated arc 22 is loosely mounted on the polar axis and is fitted with adjusting-means 26 worm-geared to it, and adapted to be clutched to the clock mechanism spindle d. On the arc 22 slides a pointer 28, which may carry a parallel sighting-bar 40, Fig. 3, which may be directed towards a star; or the pointer 28 may be hollow and fitted with a reflecting prism to facilitate the setting of the pointer towards a star. With this form of the apparatus, the time or position of a star may be found or a star may be identified. The polar axis may be driven by means of a watch as follows. The minute hand of the time-dial mechanism is replaced by a pinion 53 attached to a drum with a driving-weight 55 and held by a spring-controlled pawl 56 adapted to be released by a magnet 58 when a blade 59 on the pinion engages the minute hand of a watch set close and parallel to the pinions.
