The jaws 5 are advanced in succession by eccentrics 7 on the shaft 6, roller bearings 8 being provided between the eccentrics and sleeves 9 within the castings 10. The rollers 8 of each jaw are preferably divided into two sets by washers 10<a> ; and metal washers 10<b> separated by an intervening felt washer 10<c> are arranged between the bearings of each jaw. The members 10 carry backing-plates 11, to which the shoes 51 are bolted, and rearwardly-extending plates 13 are bolted by angle-irons 14 to the edges of each plate 11. The lower portions of the plates 13 surround the sleeves 9 ; and at the upper end they are mounted on a shaft 16 connected by links 18 to a transverse shaft 19. To allow the lower portion of each jaw 3 to yield when any unbreakable substance passes between the jaws, a wedge-shaped block 23, coned out in any preferred manner, is interposed between a shaft 26, extending between the side plates 27 of the jaws, and a wedge-shaped block 28 bolted to a bar 29, which extends across the rear of the frame. Each safety block 23 is adjustable vertically on its suspension rod 31 to determine the fineness of the crushed ore. A spring 37 bears against the lower section 3<a> of each stationary jaw, and is adjustable by a nut 39 on a rod 38 supported by a stay bar 35 Stay bars 41 connect the main side plates 21 of the frame ; and T-bars 45, 46 extend across the top of the frame at each side of the feed-opening. In a modification, the lower curved section of the stationary jaw is pivoted at its upper end, a flange on the lower end of the straight portion overhanging a bevelled portion at the upper end of the curved section. Preferably the moving jaws move upwardly during the crushing-movement; and a single pair of jaws may be used.

Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 4794. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. Feb. 25. Controllers with auxiliary switches; controllers, brake devices for.-Relates to motorcontrolling devices of the kind in which an operating-member controls the movement of a resistance-controlling member and also actuates a switch member in the main motor circuit. The operating-member is movable in opposite directions, in one direction to start the motor by closing the main switch and then moving the arm of a resistance switch to vary the speed, and in the other direction to stop the motor by closing a dynamic braking - circuit across the armature. When the controller is in the initial position, the motor is disconnected from the circuit. The device comprises a casing 2 to which is attached a hollow member 5 through which passes a rod 9. Two pairs of fixed contacts 13-14, 15-16 having renewable rollers are attached to a panel 10 mounted within the casing A bridging contact-disk 17 is loosely mounted on, but insulated from, the rod 9, and is normally held off the contacts by springs 18, 19 abutting against a collar 20 and sleeve 21 fixed to the rod 9. The sleeve 21 slides in the hollow piece 5 and rests on a heavy spring 22, the lower end of which rests on a flange 23 on a sleeve 24 loosely disposed on the rod 9. The flange 23 abuts on an internal bead 8 on the piece 5, and a spring 26 is disposed round the sleeve 24 between the bead 8 and a collar 25 on the sleeve. The lower end of the rod has a head 27, to which is secured an operating-rod 28 attached to a treadle of a sewing-machine &c. The disk 17 and contacts 15, 16 are made of magnetic material, and the contacts are provided with cores having windings 43. The object of the core windings is to hold the disk 17 to the contacts 15, 16 against the tension of the springs, so as to give a quick break and avoid arcing. The upper end of the rod is connected by an insulating link 31 to an arm 32 pivoted at 34 on the base 10 and having a contact 36 moving over studs 40, 41; a spring 39 presses the arm down on the contacts. The circuit arrangement is shown for a compoundwound motor in Fig. 4. When the rod is pressed down, the arm 32 moves to the second contact and the circuit is closed from the positive side 45, contact 13, core-winding 43, post 15, across disk 17 to the post 16, and core winding 43 to the post 14, where the current divides, part going to the shunt field 47 and negative side 48, and part through the resistance 42, when the rod is moved to the next contact arm 32, armature 51, series field 53, to the negative lead 48. The action is first to close the motor circuit through the switch 17, and subsequently to vary the speed through the regulating-switch 32. To stop the motor, the rod 9 is moved upwards. The switch arm 17 then bridges the contacts 13, 14, and the arm 32 moves the stud 41, closing a dynamic braking- circuit through the armature. In a shunt motor, the series field 53 is left out, the other connexions being the same.

Title: Improved Means for Automatically Controlling Winding Engines.
Inventor: GRIMMITT WILLIAM
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1911-02-25
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 4755. Grimmitt, W. Feb. 25. Overwinding, preventing; emergency power cut-off gear.-Comprises a pneumatic apparatus for automatically controlling colliery and like winding - engines, with the object of ensuring a reduction of speed when approaching the end of the wind, and of preventing excessive speed throughout the wind. An air-pump 4 is continuously driven from the engine crank-shaft through spur gearing and a crank and connecting-rod 6. Air is pumped in through a valve 18, and is forced out into a pipe 20, which is normally in communication with the atmosphere through a vent 28 and a small adjustable cock 68. A sleeve 27 carrying adjustable tappets 25, 26 is moved endways to close the vent 28 when the tappets are engaged by a lever 24, the boss of which is threaded and engages a rotating screw 69 so as to be moved endways thereby. When the cage approaches the danger points, the lever 24 engages one or other of the tappets 25 and closes the vent 28 so that the air, not being able to escape rapidly through the cock 68, is forced by the pump into a control cylinder 22, thereby raising a piston 23 and depressing a bolt 51 sliding in a slot in a rock-shaft 38. A rotating toothed disk 60 then engages the bolt 51 and rocks the shaft 38 so as to release the trip-gear 42 and operate the brake and throttle valve. If, however, the cage is moving slowly at the danger points, the air escapes through the cock 68 and the pressure does not rise sufficiently to lift the piston 23. If the speed increases at any period of the wind beyond a prearranged maximum determined by the combined apertures 28, 68, the pressure in the pipe 20 actuates the stop gear. When the cage arrives at the bank, adjustable rotating tappets 64, 66 engage and rotate the lever 24 which rocks the frame secured to the shaft 38 carrying the trip gear 42. The tappets 64, 66 prevent the engineman from starting the wind in the wrong direction, and also prevent the cage from creeping away from the level. If it is desired to use the automatic apparatus for stopping the cages at an intermediate point of the wind, the tappets 25, 26, 64, 66 are adjusted along their respective screws. The aircontrolling valve 68, which determines the allowable speed at the danger points, is secured against interference. The pump 4, 5 may act as an exhauster instead of a compresser, the cylinder 22 being in that case open at the bottom and in communication with the exhauster at the top.
