Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Motor Controllers.
IPC: B66C13/18
Filed: 1910-07-30
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 18,191. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. July 30. Electric braking.-In an electric motor control system arranged for electrical braking, the series field is separately excited by connexions which are automatically interrupted when the armature commences to generate current. The armature circuit includes a main switch 1, resistances R<1>, R<2>, R<3> controlled bv switches 3, 4, 5 respectively, and the series field S. The braking-circuit is controlled by a switch 11, and includes the winding 13 of a relay-switch 14. An auxiliary circuit for separately exciting the field S when the motor is required to act as a brake is controlled by a switch 9 and includes a resistance R<4>. The switch 14 controls the switch 9 to allow the latter to open when the armature is generating sufficient braking- current to excite the field S. All the electromagnetic switches and a mechanical brake 15 are governed by a master controller M, the switches 1, 3, 4, 5 being operative in its running positions. In the first braking position, the switches 3, 4, 5 and 11 are closed by means of the controller M, and a circuit including the switch 14 and the winding 10 of the switch 9 is also made. Should the armature A not at once generate current, the relay - switch 14 remains in its closed position, and the switch 9 consequently supplies an independent exciting- current, limited by the resistance R<4>, to the field S. A braking-current is then generated, and, exciting the coil 13, causes the opening of the switches 14, 9, the excitation being maintained by the braking - current. In the remaining braking positions of the controller M, the resistances R<2>, R<2>, R<1> are inserted into the braking-circuit.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Recording Apparatus for Sawing and similar Machines.
Inventor: JOHANSON GUSTAF EMANUEL
IPC: G07C3/12
Filed: 1910-12-21
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 29,725. Johanson, G. E. Dec. 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Indicating time of working and output of machines. - The recording-drum of the apparatus, which is actuated directly by the deals &c. passing through a sawing-machine, is driven at a rate dependent upon the width of the deals and the feed-speed; the drum may thus be made to revolve at a rate corresponding to the actual units of work done by the machine, which may be recorded in monetary units, or at a rate dependent upon the scale of wages paid, which may differ for different classes of work. A second recording - drum is provided, which is also actuated by the deals and rotates uniformly, no matter what the feed-speed may be; this drum records the output of the machine is a percentage of the maximum theoretical output. One of the rollers which are engaged by the deals in their passage through the machine is divided into three sections 1, 2, 3, Fig. 2, of which the lowest one 1 only is actuated by the deals of least width, and which consequently have the highest feed-speed; deals of a width greater than this engage the lower two sections 1, 2, and so on. The sections are loosely mounted and actuate a shaft 11 through spur and pawl-and-ratchet gearing of increasing velocity-ratios, so that when, e.g., all the three sections are actuated, the highest one 3 alone drives the shaft 11 through the pawl-and-ratchet gearing 12, 15, the other pawls 12 slipping over the teeth of their ratchet-wheels 14, 13 respectively. The shaft 11 drives a worm-shaft 23 through the variable gearing 16, 17 ... 21 shown, the wheels 19 to 21 of which are mounted on a sleeve 22. This sleeve is positioned through a lever 24 by the device for changing the feedspeed, so that one of the wheels 16 ... 18 is engaged with one of the wheels 19 ... 21, and drives a record-strip mounted on a drum 28 through the worm-wheel 26. As shown in Fig. 3, a second drum or strip 33, for recording the percentage output, may be similarly actuated through variable gearing positioned by the device for changing the feed-speed, and in a modification, not shown, the sections 1, 2, 3 of the driving-roller are adapted to move transversely so as to adapt themselves to the different thicknesses of the deals &c. passing through the machine.

Abstract: 4298. Sedwell, A. J., and Kerr, M. D. Feb. 20. Frame construction; mounting bodies. - A lorry or float for the cartage of motor-vehicles, pantechnicons, and other large cases is provided with means for increasing its length, and has the front end of its fore-carriage extended upwards to enable the draught animals to exert an horizontal pull. The extending portion consists of two beams b, b<1> connected by longitudinal channel-iron members c, c<1>, to the outer members c' of which the rear springs are fixed. The members c, c<1> slide on the usual bars e, and are kept in alinement with them by guides f arranged on the body. The extending portion is moved by a screw h carried in brackets i, r on the beam b and check-spring bearer s and works in a nut mounted in a bracket k on the rear bar of the body. The nut j has pins n working in slots in the bracket k to allow vertical movement, and the end of the screw is loosely mounted in the bracket r for the same purpose. The extending frame is locked in its normal or extended positions by means of projections t', Fig. 3, formed on spring plates t<2> mounted on plates u on the body, which projections engage holes in the channel-irons c<1>. The catches are moved out of engagement by means of handles t<3>. To prevent vertical movement in the normal position, the beam b<1> has a clip b<x> to engage the top of the wheel plate. The forecarriage is made up of channel-shaped members w which are curved up at their front ends and secured to a wooden bar w'. To effect the attachment of the bar w<1>, the channel-irons are slit at the corners and their webs turned down as shown at w<3>, Fig. 4, to form lugs, the remaining flanges embracing the bar. Bolts w<4> are passed through the lugs w<3> and flanges. The beams b, b<1> are also connected to the channelirons c, c<1> in this manner:

Abstract: 7310. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. March 23. Mountings. - Relates to coupled elevating- gears, for two or more guns, of the kind described in Specification 4890/07. The invention consists in the provision of hand-actuated gearing for effecting the adjustment of the elevating-pinions necessary to correct for muzzlevelocity differences between the coupled guns, and for operating indicators which are graduated to show the adjustment necessary for any range with a given muzzle-velocity difference. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a gun-mounting showing the elevating-gear and indicator, and Fig. 4 shows part of the transverse elevating- shaft C of one of the coupled guns, to which shaft the pinion C<1> is connected by an inclined or spiral keyway K as described in Specification 4890/07. The elevating-shaft C has a wormwheel C<2> rotatably mounted thereon. The worm-wheel is provided with an internallythreaded sleeve c<2> which screws onto a sleeve c<1> connected by a flanged collar c to the sleevepart S of the pinion C<1>. A lug on the sleeve c<1> slides in a guide in the gun-platform B<Î> and prevents rotation of the sleeve. When, therefore, the worm-wheel C<2> is rotated by a worm d<2> on a shaft d, driven through bevelgearing by a hand-wheel D, the sleeve c<1>, and with it the pinion C<1>, are moved along the shaft C. The extent of the adjustment is indicated by a pointer D‹ on a rotatable dial D' driven by the shaft d. The worm-wheel C<2> may be mounted on a shaft parallel to the elevating- shaft, and moves the pinion through a fork or cross-head traversed along the worm-wheel shaft by screw-and-nut gearing.
