Patent GB-190924707-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Actuating Mechanisms.
Inventor: BOIVIN ANDRE
IPC: F16H31/00
Filed: 1909-10-27
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 24,707. Boivin, A. Oct. 27. Actuating valves and cocks. - To actuate a series of cocks or other distributing - devices, or any series o f elements in a predetermined order and at predetermined intervals, a series of levers corresponding to the number of elements to be operated are loosely mounted on a shaft and are severally connected at the required times to a constantly oscillating lever or carrier also loosely mounted on the shaft, such connexions being controlled by a series of cams fixed to the shaft, which is driven with a to- and-fro progressive rotary motion. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, in which only one controlled element is indicated, a constantly oscillating lever 1 is utilized to impart the to-and-fro progressive rotary motion to the shaft 2 by means of spring-pressed pawls 4, 5 engaging a toothed wheel 10 fixed thereon, the backward-driving pawl 5 being withdrawn to miss one or more teeth when a tail-piece 12 encounters a stationary cam (not shown). Spring-pressed pawls 7, 9 carried by the oscillating lever 1 are adapted to engage a notched disk 15 loosely mounted on the shaft and connected to an element to be actuated. This engagement however only takes place when notches in a cam 14 fixed to the shaft come under fingers 6, 8 integral with the pawls 7, 9. Thus, when the notch 18 comes under the finger 6, the pawl 7 engages the disk 15 and carries it to the upper limit of the oscillation, where it remains until subsequently, a notch 20 in the opposite face of the cam coming under the finger 8, the pawl 9 engages the disk 15 to return it to the first position. Additional pairs of notches such as 19, 21 may be provided in the cam to cause the movements to take place twice or more frequently during a revolution. When the operations are so numerous that the notches in the cam would overlap, two or more cams may be employed for the same disk, a separate set of pawls and fingers being required with each cam. The cam may be adjustably fixed upon the shaft 2, by a split collar and bolt, or by other means, and may further be composed of two or more parts adjustably attached to each other so that the distance between the notches may be varied. The duration of the movements may be regulated by means of a cam 25 of variable length attached to the wheel 10 so as to mask the teeth thereof for the pawl 5 only. In arrangements in which a more or less extended interval is required at the end of one series of movements before the commencement of the next series, the last movement of the seiies may be employed to operate a disengaging or braking apparatus to stop the driving- mechanism. An arrangement is also shown in which there are four elements to be actuated, a corresponding number of disks and cams being arranged on the shaft, and actuated by means of pawls and fingers freely mounted on a common axis carried by an oscillating lever frame.
