Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Compressing Top Lifts.
Inventor: STANBON CHARLES PETER
IPC: A43D83/00
Filed: 1910-09-06
Granted: 1911-09-06
Abstract: 20,752. Stanbon, C. P. Oct. 27, 1909, [Convention date]. Heels, machines for. -A top-lift, placed in a carrier 51, is compressed against an adjustable die by the ascent of a crosshead 23 due to the straightening of a heavy toggle 24, 25. The pivot of the toggle is connected by a link 27 with a crank on a countershaft 21 driven through gear 20, 19, 17, 16 from a driving-shaft 3. The shaft 3 is provided with a treadleoperated clutch and a band brake. The toplift carrier 51 has two receptacles for top-lifts, and is reciprocated across the crosshead to bring the receptacles in turn below the die and over a compression plate. The compressed top-lift is carried to one side, and is ejected from the carrier by one of a pair of ejectors working on each side of the compression die. Each ejector comprises a rod 80, which can pass through an opening 52 in the compression plate and is normally pressed downwards by a spring 83. The rod 80 rests on one arm of a bellcrank lever 87, 88, Fig. 3, connected by a link 89 with a second bell-crank lever 91, 91<Î> rocked by a cam on the countershaft 21. The rods 80 are forced upwards at each operation of the machine, the one moving idly through the clear opening 52, while the other forces out the top-lift from the carrier. The upper end of each ejector is arranged as shown in Fig. 4, to throw the compressed lift into a receiver. A plate 97 is pivoted at one side of the end of the rod 80, and bears against a spring plunger 99. The plate 97 is normally held in an horizontal position by a pin 104 on the crosshead engaging a tail 103 on the plate. As the ejecting rod moves upwards, the tail clears the pin and the plate is lifted by the spring 101, thus throwing the lift clear of the machine. As the ejector descends, the end of the tail engages the pin and causes the plate to resume its horizontal position. The top-lift carrier is reciprocated by a cam operated lever 63 through rack-and-pinion gearing 60, 59, 54, 53. The cam is arranged to give a slight excess movement, the excess being taken up by spring connexions, thus allowing for wear in the working parts.

Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 28,307. Mould, J. Dec. 6. Exciting; yokes. - A variable-speed dynamo for giving a current that is constant in direction irrespective of the direction of rotation, and particularly applicable for train or car lighting, is provided with a multipolar field magnet, the load current being taken from the brushes C1, C3, Fig. 1. An initial magnetization is given to all the poles N1, S1, N2, S2 by windings e1, e2 which may be shunt, series, or separately excited; these windings excite the poles equally so that, when the machine is on open circuit, no voltage exists between the brushes C1, C3. To enable the machine to generate in one direction of rotation of the armature, two of the poles, for example the poles N2, S2, are strengthened, and the flux of the remaining poles N1, S1 is either kept constant or is weakened. When the direction of rotation is reversed, the poles N2, S2 are weakened and the poles N1, S, may be strengthened. For example, the pole S2 may be provided with an auxiliary winding f1 connected between the brushes C1, C2, so that, according to the direction of rotation, this winding strengthens or weakens the poles N2, S2. The pole N1 may also be provided with a demagnetizing-winding f2 carrying the load current. The field-magnet yokes may be constricted or divided as shown, to secure the requisite independence of the pairs of poles. All the poles may be wound.

Abstract: 26,426. Murray, E. T. R. Nov. 25. Registering maxima or excess; thermal current meters. - In an instrument of the type described in Specification 28,947/09 for indicating when a pre-arranged current is being exceeded, the switch 4 short - circuiting the dimming-resistance 13 or other indicating-device is actuated by an electro - magnet, the winding 8 of which is in series with the dimming-resistance, the switch being retained in its closed position by a locking-device 10 released by an electro-magnet 11, which is controlled by a thermal switch 20. A strip 21 and a wire 24 are connected in series with a resistance 26 and an adjustable resistance 16, which is varied by means of a contact 15 with a non-return index 17 to indicate the maximum demand. When this load is exceeded, the wire 24 expands and closes the circuit of the winding 11, and shunts the resistances 26 and strip 21. The current through the wire 24 is thereby increased, causing the switch contacts to be brought into' closer engagement. The winding 11 attracts the armature of a latch 10, thereby releasing the armature 7 and allowing a weighted arm 6 to open the switch 4, and connect the dimming-resistance 13 and winding 8 in the main circuit. The winding 8 then attracts the armature 7, which, owing to the wire 24 cooling, is held by the latch 10. If the current remains excessive, these operations are repeated, and the arm 6 at each swing moves a ratchet-wheel 33 so as to close a switch 32 and short-circuit the winding 8 after a predetermined time. The switch 32 may be opened by releasing the ratchet 33 by means of a press-button. A clock-switch 27 is provided to cut out the thermal switch during certain hours. In a modification, for use with higher loads, the thermal switch and the resistance 16 are shunted across a resistance in the main circuit.
