IPC: H01H9/26
Filed: 1910-03-02
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 5261. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. March 2. Interlocked switches; automatic circuitbreakers.-Multiple electric switch apparatus, comprising a number of separate switches tending to stand open, is provided with interlocks and latches so that the switches have to be closed in a definite order and each switch when closed operates the latch to hold closed the preceding switch, the last being retained by an electro-magnet. Each separate switch, Figs. 2 and 3, consists of a lever 5 carrying a laminated brush contact 11 and a spring-mounted arcing- contact 14. It is closed by a handle 20 through toggles 21, 23, and retained, against the tendency to fall off, by a pivoted latch 26 which is not raised to the position shown in Fig. 2 until a lug 30 on the handle of the switch subsequently closed has passed under its lower curved edge. In operation, the first switch in the series is held on by hand while the second is closed, the first is then liberated and the second held while the third is closed, and so on until the last switch is reached. The last switch may, as shown in Fig. 1, be held on by the hooked armature 33 of a no-voltage magnet 32. To prevent any switch from being closed out of order, the lugs 30 are made with enlarged parts 31 which jam against the latches 26 unless these latches have been lifted out of the way.

Inventor: KUHTZ FRIEDRICH
IPC: A21C5/06
Filed: 1911-07-28
Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 17,285. K³htz, F. July 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Rotary - mould - table machines. - Relates to a rotary dough-divider in which dough fed by a worm 1 into one of a series of cylinders 2 moves back the piston 5 and sets into operation mechanism for rotating the divider to bring another cylinder into filling position and also mechanism for ejecting the measured dough from the previouslyfilled cylinder. T h e cylinders 2 are mounted in a rotary member 3 which is intermittently rotated by gearing 28, 26, operated from a driven shaft 19 through a clutch 20 and elliptic gearing 24, 25. As the cylinders 2 are filled, the rods 6, Fig. 1, of the pistons 5 move back until they butt against stops 7 adjustably mounted on rods 8, which, through levers 11, 12 and rods 13, deflect a lever or levers 14 and rock a shaft 15 carrying the clutch lever 18, causing the clutch 20 to be closed. A disk 17 maintains the lever 14 in its deflected position against the action of a spring 29 until the next cylinder is in position, whereupon the end of the lever drops into a recess 16 in the disk. The spring 29 then throws the clutch 20 into engagement with a member 30, which engages with a gear 31, Fig. 4, on a shaft 32 carrying a pinion 33 engaging with a rack 6<1> on the piston 6 of the filled cylinder, causing the piston 5 to move forward and eject the dough. At the end of this movement, a lever 34, Figs. 1 and 2, carried by the rod 6 engages with a collar 13<1> on the rod 13 and disconnects the clutch 20, the rod being retained by a detent 35 acted upon by a spring 37. When the cylinder again comes into the filling position, the detent 35 is deflected by means of an arm 38 engaging a cam 39. A knife 40, attached to the framework, cuts off the ejected dough. The feed may be automatically interrupted by suitable gearing and two feed screws may be employed instead of one. The dough may be fed into the upper cylinder, and more than two cylinders can be employed.

Variable-speed and reversing gearing.-Comprises an eccentric 4 fast on a driven shaft 3, an internally-toothed gear 16 on a casing 5 fast on a driving-shaft 2, and a gear 8 loose on the eccentric 4 and meshing with the gear 6. The gear 8 is controlled by epicyclic gearing and for this purpose carries an internal gear 10 meshing with a gear 11 upon a sleeve 12 loose on the shaft 2. A worm-wheel 13 on the sleeve 12 meshes with worms 14 upon spindles 15, which pass through and are carried by the casing 5. Bevel-gears 16 upon the spindles 15 mesh with a bevel-wheel 17 upon a loose brake drum 18. Spindles 21 carried by a loose disk 20 carry gears 22, 23, which mesh with a gear 24 on the drum 18 and with a gear 25 on a second loose brake drum 19, respectively. The gearing normally rotates solid. If the drum 19 is retarded by a brake, the drum 18 is retarded through the gearing 23, 22, &c., and the worm gearing operates to allow the gear 8 to slip, so that the speed of the shaft 3 is reduced. It may be arranged that when the drum 19 is held fast, the shaft 3 is just brought to rest. Holding fast the drum 18 causes the shaft 3 to be driven reversely.

Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 4878. Sandstr÷m, A. G. Feb. 27. Couplings, non-automatic.-For lifting the coupling-chain, and in some cases also the emergency hook, for coupling and uncoupling, an arm 12 pivoted on their common pivot pin 4 and formed at its free end with a projection 21 adapted to engage a recess in the underside of the coupling-chain or of the emergency hook 3, is operated by a rod which extends to the side of the vehicle and is adapted both to turn and to slide in its bearing. The coupling-chain comprises an outer link 7 with a bevelled and flattened end, as shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 6, a connecting-piece 6, and an inner link 5. A pin 11 fitted in lugs 10 carried by the link 7 fits against the underside of the piece 6, and the ends of a pin 9 passing through the piece 6 bear against hooked projections 8 on the link 5. In one form of the operating-device, Figs. 1 and 3, a rod 13 secured to the arm 12 is adapted to turn and slide in a stirrup member 15 mounted to slide on a bar 16 fixed to the vehicle. A hook 19 on the stirrup is adapted to engage a hook 20 on the vehicle to lock the rod 13 in idle position. An operating-lever 14 on the end of the rod 13 is formed with a hook 22 adapted to engage an eve 23 on the vehicle to hold the coupling-chain in raised position during shunting. The hole in each draw-hook 2 which receives the pin 4 is widened at its ends to allow lateral movement of the couplings, and the sides of the links 5 are rounded for the same purpose. In a modification, Fig. 6, the rod 13 is bent and pivoted at one end to the arm 12, and is guided near the other end in a slot 37 in a fitting 38 fixed to the vehicle. In another modification, Figs. 7 and 8, the lateral turning of the coupling is facilitated by the provision of a fulcrum for tho lever 14 by the engagement of a curved arm 39 with one or other of two recesses 40 arranged one on each side of the eye 23. Fig. 9 shows the adaptation of an ordinary screw coupling for use according to the invention. To prevent the screw 41 from rotating, a hooked member 42 fixed to one end of the screw engages the upper side of the adjacent nut 43, and a hooked stirrup piece 44, fixed to the other end of the screw and provided with a recess 45 to receive the projection 21, engages the upper side of the second nut. Fig. 11 shows the adaptation of a coupling in which the link 7 is maintained in fixed angular relation to the connecting-piece 6 during uncoupling. An arm 46 pivoted on the pin 11 is secured to a stirrup - piece 47 adapted to slide on the piece 6. When the arm 12 is operated, the arm 46 is held between the hook 3 and the link 6. The coupling is tensioned by operating a screw 25, Fig. 3, in a nut 26 through bevel-gear 30, 31 from a shaft 34 operated by a crank 35 at the side of the vehicle.

Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to a machine for weighing the component materials required for making concrete, and comprises means for preventing the attendant from discharging the contents of the weighing-receptacle until the latter is fully charged. After discharge, the weighing-receptacle is prevented from rising until the attendant reverses the controlling-device, and a number of the machines may be simultaneously governed by the same controlling - device. The material is delivered from a hopper A past a sliding feed-gate K into a weighing-receptacle B suspended from a weigh-beam C. As the weigh-beam tilts, a lever M connected to the weigh-beam by a system of levers disengages a catch and allows the feedgate to close by gravity. The weighed material may then be discharged through hinged gates X, Y by operating a hand-lever T connected by a notched bar F to a releasing-catch N. Angleirons E attached to the sides of the weighing- receptacle and, working in the notches in the bar F, prevent the operation of the hand-lever T unless the weighing - receptacle is correctly filled, in which position the angle-irons are clear of the bar F. After discharge, the bar F holds down the weighing-receptacle until the bar is retracted to bring its notches into register with the angle-irons. A number of the machines may be arranged to work together under the control of levers F, simultaneously operated by the hand-lever T.
