Abstract: 12,792. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Sept. 17, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Sparking, preventing.-Relates to the construction of reversing pole-pieces for dynamo-electric generators or motors or rotary cunverters. The reversing pole-pieces are formed with grooves or recesses which open towards the armature as in Figs. 1 and 2, or with holes b, Fig 3, which increase the reluctance of the path of the lines of force due to the current in the coils short-circuited by the brushes. The recesses may be filled with magnetically-insulated laminae c, Fig. 4, of magnetic material, or the pole-piece may be wholly constructed of such laminµ as shown in Fig. 5. In Fig. 6, the path of the flux due to the shortcircuited coils of the armature A is indicated by the dotted line l. The reversing pole-piece may be in one piece with the field frame, or it may be separate therefrom and fitted into a groove or otherwise secured to the frame.

Title: Centrifugal Controlled Friction Clutch for Motor Cars.
Inventor: PASQUIER FERDINAND

Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 24,712. Pasquier, F., Tissot, J., and Bonatre, L. Nov. 29. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to change-speed gearing for motor-cars &c. of the type in which a countershaft and toothed wheels sliding in pairs are employed. The motor shaft 4 is secured to a wheel 6 and a clutch member 7. The driven shaft 2 is provided with a loosely rotating wheel 28 and other wheels 17, 19 sliding upon a squared portion. The countershaft 3 is kept constantly rotating by a wheel 8, which it carries, in mesh with the wheel 6. The shaft 3 carries also a fixed wheel 27 gearing with the wheel 28 through an idler and a fixed double clutch-member 13. Wheels 16, 18 on the shaft 3 are caused to slide longitudinally with the wheels 17, 19, respectively, by suitably-operated double forks 23. The wheel 17 has a clutch-member 30, which, when thrust to the left, clutches the shaft 2 directly to the shaft 4. When the pair 16, 17 is thrust to the right, a clutch member 20 on the wheel 16 engages the member 13 and the intermediate speed results. The low speed is produced by shifting the pair 18,19 to the left until a clutch member 21 on the wheel 18 engages the member 13. The reverse is obtained by moving the pair 18, 19 to the right until a clutch member 31 on the wheel 19 engages a member 29 on the wheel 28. The clutch teeth are helical on one side, and projections 32 and recesses 33 are provided to prevent unclutching should the vehicle overrun the motor.

Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 8906. Nethery, J. W. June 26, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elevators.-In pneumatic straw-stacking elevators, means are provided by which the blast mechanism and the conveyer-tube are moved as a whole during adjustment. Blasts are delivered by fans 36, 37 at the lower and outer sides of the tube 44 in advance of the hopper 43 so that small portions only are drawn from the mass of straw and c'ogging is prevented. The tube and fan casings are borne by a turn-table 22, which may be turned on its bearing 24 and rollers 25 by a handle 55 through spur-wheels. Vertical adjustment of the tube is effected by a screw 61 actuated through worm gearing by a handle 65. In order to render the motion of the fans independent of the adjustment, the driving-shaft 33 of the fans is driven by bevel-wheels 34, 35 and a shaft 27 passing up the interior of the turn-table shaft 23. To allow movement of the tube, the thrashing-machine 21 is fitted with a flexible connexion 48 which extends into the mouth of the conveyer hopper 43.

The holder 17 is mounted on a suitable telescopic handle, and may be made of springy material or provided with a tapped lug 57 engaging with a screwed pin 55 on the handle to force it into engagement with the blade and table. The handle, when folded up, can be placed inside the tubular holder.
Patent GB-190617236-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Regulation of Multi Speed Electric Motors
Inventor: BURNAND WILLIAM ERNEST
Filed: 1906-07-31
Granted: 1907-07-31
Abstract: 17,236. Burnand, W. E. July 31. Motors, controlling. - Any desired number of speeds of alternating-current motors are maintained constant or variable only within predetermined limits by means of a controller, either of the centrifugal type, or in the form of a brake, such as an eddy-current brake sensitive to the variations of speed of the motor and adapted to operate the means which determine the electric energy supplied to the motor so as to control its speed. The governor employed is adjusted, while running, to vary and obtain any speed within the range of the apparatus. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the series or repulsion motur, with field coils B, B<1> and compensating-coils A, A', has one member C of an eddycurrent brake secured upon its shaft ; the other member D of the brake is adjustable in co-operation therewith and connected through gear-wheels 1, 2, 3 to the toothed brush-rocker E, the wheel 3 being lengthened to allow of the adjustment of the eddycurrent brake. A weight W is suspended by a cord in such a way as to tend to bring the brushes into the position of maximum torque, and the drag of the eddy-current brake tends to bring the brushes in the opposite direction to the position of minimum torque, the speed of the motor being in this manner automatically adjusted until a balance position is obtained. The speed of running may be changed by altering the weight W, or by altering the relative positions of the two members of the brake, or by a combination of these means. The speed of the motor may be allowed to vary between predetermined limits by arranging the weight W to have a variable turning-moment upon the brushrocker with different positions of the rocker. The same result may be obtained by substituting a flexible spring for the weight W. The member D of the eddy-current brake may, according to the Provisional Specificaiion, operate an auto-transformer to vary the voltage supplied to the motor in order to control the speed.

Abstract: 28,347. Gr³neisen, P. R. Dec. 13, 1905, [ date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gearing.-Relates to variable-speed gearing, stated to be applicable to hoisting-machinery, of the type in which a shaft is driven by ratchet mechanism and slotted links oscillated by rotating cranks &c. The arrangement is characterized by the use of one rotating eccentric. An application to a cycle hub is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. A chainwheel j drives the eccentric f, which is loose upon a fixed spindle a. A plate b rigidly secured to the spindle a extends outwardly in the form of three arms c to each of which is pivoted a slotted link d connected by a link e to the eccentric f. Bellcrank levers i pivoted upon a second plate g have their outer arms each engaging a slot in a link d and their inner arms each carrying a spring pawl k engaging a central ratchet-wheel connected to the hub &c. to be driven. The eccentric f oscillates the links d and through them the levers i, and so turns the wheel l. By turning the plate g by a handle n, the levers i are caused to engage the links d at different points and so the velocity-ratio is varied. The plate g may be operated by a governor. The levers i and pawls k may be replaced by ratchetmounted spur-wheels meshing with a central driven spur-pinion.

Abstract: 16,868. Spear, L. Y. Jan. 15, [date appliedfor under Patents Act, 1901]. Ejecting-tubes. -Relates to tandem submarine ejecting-tubes for torpedoes. The locking and firing mechanisms of the tubes and the operating- mechanism of the intermediate gate valve are interconnected so that the gate mechanism is automatically disengaged when the fore torpedo is discharged, and the firing and locking mechanism of the aft torpedo are disengaged when the gate is opened. It is thus possible to discharge the aft torpedo immediately after the fore one without having first to transfer it to the fore tube. The gate g has a slot g<1> in which plays a pin on an arm h<1> secured to the rock-shaft of the operating-lever h. A toe piece h' is locked by a dog l<1> on a lever l, which is connected by a rod m<1> to the firing- lever m and to the stop-lever m' of the fore tube ; while lever h is connected by a rod l<3> to a dog i which locks the stop-pin k<1> of the aft tube, which is connected to the corresponding firing-lever k. For transferring a torpedo from the aft to the fore tube, the toggle pin l<3> is temporarily detached so that the gate mechanism and the mechanisms of the aft tube may be released without the stop m<2> being disengaged. The transfer is done by means of a pump a in a known manner, or by means of a rod t which passes through a stuffing-box in the back cap and has a winged head t<1> adapted to engage with the propeller of the torpedo. Guides g<3> are provided on the gate g to aline with the usual guides o when the gate is opened. Vent valves u are also provided.
