Title: Improvements in and relating to the Mechanical Operation of Electric Motor Controllers.
Filed: 1908-11-02
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 23,341. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Thompson, F. O. Nov. 2. Motor controllers.-The controller of a motor for a machine is arranged to be operated by one of a number of pedals mechanically connected to each other and to a pawl engaging a ratchetwheel upon the shaft of the controller. During the movement of the pedals, the backward rotation of the controller is prevented by means of a second pawl, which, with the operating-pawl, is disengaged from the ratchet-wheel when the pedals. are in their fully raised position. The controller is held in its full on ' position by means of an electro-magnet, while means are provided for diminishing the shock when the controller is returned to its ' off' position. In the arrange ment shown in Fig. 1, three pedals b, b<1>, b<2> are mounted upon a shaft c on one side of the machine a, and are mechanically connected to a shaft c<1> on the other side by means of links c', c<3>, c<4>. The shaft c' is in alinement with the controller shaft d, and carries a fast two-armed lever i and a loose two-armed lever m. When the pedals b<3> are in their fully raised position, by the action of the counterweight g the tail-piece i<1> of the lever i engages with the tail-piece m<2> of the lever m, thereby causing a roller m<1> on the lever m to engage with the tail-pieces j<1>, l<1> of the pawls and l, and causing the latter to be disengaged from the ratchet-wheel k. When the pedals are slightly depressed, the tail-pieces i<1>, m' are separated, and the pawls l, j engage the ratchet-wheel k. A further movement of the pedals causes the ratchet-wheel to be advanced ; it is held in its new position by means of the pawl l. The controller is further operated by moving the pedal between the intermediate and lower positions shown in Fig. 4. The controller is held in its 'full on' position by means of an electro-magnet, the spring-controlled armature s<2> of which is pivoted and provided with a slotted tail engaging with a pin n<2> on the arm n Fig. 6. To avoid shock when the controller is returned to its 'off ' position, an inclined plane o is provided over which rides a spring-controlled or air-controlled plunger n<1>, the lower part of which is provided with a roller. When the controller is not in its 'full on ' position, it is returned to its 'off' position by releasing the pedals.

Abstract: 9894. Clark, D. P. April 26. Mechanical toys. -Relates to locomotive tovs which are driven by power derived from a heavy rotating wheel, and consists in forming the driving-member with a number of sur. faces which make contact with similar surfaces on the driven member. The axle 13, Fig. 1, ot the heavy wheel 12 and the axle 9 of the road wheels are mounted in inclined slots 14, 10, respectively, in the frame of the toy. In order to reduce friction, disks 15 are rotatably mounted on the frame in such a position that the axle 13 rests against them when the toy is placed on the ground. The shaft 13 has a grooved pulley 25, Fig. 5, secured to it; and the driven wheel has a bevelled rim 27 which fits into the groove on the pulley 25. The slot 10 allows the weight of the car to press the wheels tightly together, and, in consequence of the increased friction between the wheels, a more efficient transmission of power is obtained. In a modification, the driving-pulley is formed with a bevelled rim, and the driven wheel with a groove. The grooves may also be rectangular or semicircular in cross-section the bevelled portion being of a suitable shape to obtain the required wedging effect.
