Abstract: 860. Rundl÷f, E. A. Jan. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Tappet-actuated pumps; stroke, varying.-In pumps for internal-combustion engines of the type in which the piston is driven by a reciprocating member supported by a sliding surface, and mounted so as to oscillate about a centre, the stroke is varied by raising or lowering the sliding surface, so that the effective length of the reciprocating member is altered. The piston a is driven by a reciprocating member b, free to oscillate about the centre c, and sliding on the surface d, which is yieldingly and adjustably connected through the plate m with the governor k. By raising or lowering the surface d, the length of the member b in the direction of reciprocation is varied. By lowering the sliding surface sufficiently, the member b is put out of action and the engine stopped. The variation may be increased by making the abutting surface e oblique, or by making the end of the member b in the form of an arc, and the end of the piston pointed, the form of the surfaces e, f being so arranged that the member b is pressed on to the surface d. In the case of several pumps arranged side by side, separate surfaces d are connected with a single plate m.

Abstract: 12,943. Shaw, H. S. Hele-, and Martineau, F. L. May 27. Speed-varying mechanism. - An hydraulic motor, of the kind described in Specification 12,574/09, forms the body of a vehicle wheel, the cylinders being arranged radially and forming the spokes. The motor is driven in closed circuit by a variable - stroke reversible pump carried by the vehicle. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the cylinders 4 are fixed to the felloe 6 and to the boss 5. The water enters and leaves through the passages 2, 3 in the fixed axle 1, which thus forms the valve. The pistons 8 carry ball rollers 9, which run in the eccentric tracks 10. The two eccentric rings 10, which are connected by bolts 11, are mounted on ball bearings 12 carried by the eccentric attached to the fixed axle. In one modification, the eccentric rings 10 are keyed to the fixed axle, and in another an oval ring is used. In the latter case, the passages 2, 3 are duplicated, so that, by cutting out one of the pressure passages and making it a discharge passage, giving three discharge passages and one pressure passage, the wheel can be given an additional velocity, since all the pump discharge is used on half the number of cylinders per revolution. Means may be provided for varying the eccentricity of the eccentric rings 10, and also for cutting off any of the motor wheels from the pump supply. Specifications 12,574/09 and 9402/10 are referred to.

Abstract: 18,956. Pirie, D. G. G. L. Aug. 12. Electrically - operated fastenings; railwaycarriage doors, fastening automatically.-The bolt of a door lock for railway carriages is formed of two parts L, M, of brass and iron respectively, and is normally held retracted by a spring E. The bolt is shot by the excitation of a solenoid Y, and is retained shot, after the exciting-current is cut off, by a detent B' which is pressed by a spring G to engage behind a collar A secured to the bolt. The detent B' is made of soft iron, and to release the bolt, an electro-magnet D is excited, thereby withdrawing the detent B' from engagement with the collar A, or the detent may be withdrawn by a key-operated follower K. To allow the door to be closed after the bolt has been shot, the detent B<1> is slidably mounted in a pivoted tube B and pressed forward by a spring H of greater strength than the spring E. To permit the operation of the device when the door is in the partly-closed position so that the bolt could not be shot, the two parts L, M of the bolt are slidably connected as shown in Fig. 6, and a spring S is interposed between them so that the part M may be attracted by the solenoid Y without moving the part L, which is afterwards shot by the spring S when the door is fully closed. The device may be controlled by two bell-pushes in the guard's van, one for operating the solenoid Y, and the other for operating the electro-magnet D; or it may be controlled automatically by the governor device shown in Fig. 4. The governor, which is driven from the carriage axle, operates a pivoted arm 7, one end of which moves over a series of contacts 1, 2, 3, 4, of which 1 and 4 are dead and 2 and 3 are connected in the circuits of the electro-magnet D and the solenoid Y rerespectively.

Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 8150. Allgemeine Elektricitõts - Ges. April 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Motor - generators. - The voltage of a continuous-current generator driven by an induction motor is regulated by means of an auxiliary converter or motor generator, the alternating - current side of which is connected in parallel with the slip. regulator of the induction motor, while the continuous-current side is connected in the exciter circuit of the continuouscurrent generator. In the arrangement shown, an induction motor d drives a continuous generator g and its exciter e, and carries upon its shaft a fly-wheel s. The alternating-current side of an auxiliary converter a is connected in parallel with the slip regulator r of the motor d, while its continuous-current side is connected in series with the exciter e, so that, as the slip current increases due to the fall of speed of the motor d, the potential on the continuous-current side of the converter a increases as the potential of the exciter e falls. In this way, the total exciting voltage may be increased as the speed decreases, to keep the potential of the generator g constant. By over-exciting the converter a, it may be employed as a phase-regulator of the motor d.
