Inventor: PUGH JOHN VERNON
IPC: B60B3/18
Filed: 1911-04-20
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 9666. Pugh, J. V. April 20. Locking nuts. - Relates to nuts for securing detachable wheels and provided with automatic locking - pawls, which are disengaged by cam surfaces on the spanner, and with independent hand - operated locking - means which carry projecting parts to prevent the positioning of the spanner until the locking-means have been disengaged, as described in Specification 23,446/09. The handoperated locking-device c, Fig. 1, with projection g, is prevented from being placed in its engaged position, before the operating-spanner d, Fig. 3, is removed, by a projecting pin h thereon which lies in the path of the device c from its disengaged to its engaged position. In a modification, the device c, Fig. 4, is constrained, by the tail piece m coming in contact with the casing b of the automatic pawl, to move inwards from its engaged to its disengaged position, and the reverse movement is prevented by the projection g coacting with the projecting surface n, Fig. 6, on the spanner while the spanner is on the nut.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo Electric Machines.
Inventor: FOUQUE MAURICE MARIUS
IPC: H02K23/44
Filed: 1912-03-11
Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 6099. Fouque, M. M., and Ruelle, C. H. March 11. Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.- Variable-speed dynamoelectric machines are rendered self-regulating by means of magnetic masses of unsymmetrical form arranged in the bodies of the fieldmagnets, and mounted to turn about axes parallel to the shaft of the machine, in such a manner that the centrifugal force acts on the masses to bring them into a position corresponding to maximum reluctance, while the lines of force act to rotate the masses into a position corresponding to minimum reluctance. The magnetic masses e<1>, Fig. 1, rotate to bring the gap e<2> next to the armature. A counterweight l on the axle e' may assist or oppose the centrifugal force effecting the rotation. Springs may also act to assist the centrifugal force. A toothed ring n may be provided gearing with sectors o on the axles e<3> to ensure the simultaneous operation of all the masses e'. The springs and counterweights may act on the ring n and not directly on the masses e<1>. The dynamo-electric machine may be of a homopolar construction with a fixed armature, a fixed exciting-coil, and a rotary magnetic body. The armature may be so mounted as to rotate through a fraction of a revolution under the action of the drag of the magnetic field and against the action of a restraining - spring and so operate a mercury switch q, Fig. 6, on the armature shaft at a predetermined speed.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Winding Engines.
Inventor: WORTH ROBERT JAMES
IPC: G01P3/46
Filed: 1912-03-21
Granted: 1913-04-21
Abstract: 6947. Worth, R. J. March 21. Fluid governors; transmitting - mechanism. - The speed of a winding- engine is controlled by a governor in which a pump driven by the engine discharges liquid behind a loaded engineregulating piston and through a discharge orifice, the size of which is controlled automatically according to the position of the cage and may also be adjusted by the engineman. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the pump a, driven by eccentrics on a shaft a<2> geared to the engine shaft, forces liquid through a pipe a<3> into the governor cylinder b. The discharge pipe e<2> is connected to the pipe a<3> by an adjustable valve comprising a hollow plug e having openings e<3>, Fig. 10, opposite the mouth of the pipe e<2>. The valve is adjusted by a longitudinal movement effected by a linkage f, n from an arm m controlled by cams l on a rotary disk k geared so as to make one revolution per wind. The apparatus may be set to work at a lower speed by pulling a rod g which turns the plug e. The valve h<1> of the auxiliary outlet h is set by hand so as to provide a speed below which the governor is inoperative. The governor piston is coupled by a rod b<2> and crank d<4> to a shaft carrying an eccentric segment d arranged so that, as the piston rises, it encounters an increasing resistance. An arm i on this shaft is coupled through a bell-crank lever j' mounted on the lower end of the arm m to a rod j<2> controlling the throttle valve and the brake, the apparatus thus correcting any undue increase in speed. In a modified form of the apparatus, the disk k is dispensed with, and the lever m is actuated by an arm moved axially along a square shaft by means of a screw, and engaging towards either end of its travel with a spiral helical cam. The driving-mechanism of the pump is arranged so that the liquid always flows in the same direction, whichever way the engine is running. In the pump shown in Fig. 3, this is effected by arranging the valveoperating eccentrics loose on the shaft a<2> and driving them by stops allowing half a revolution play. The liquid used is preferably oil, and the discharge pipe e<2> is carried to the top of the tank in which the mechanism is arranged so as to distribute oil over the moving parts.

Movable-abutment type; cooling parts; working-fluid supply.-In a rotary internal-combustion engine of the geared-vane type suitable for aviation, the cylinder A carrying the inlet and outlet ports o, p and the sparking-plug q is arranged to rotate continuously, while the pairs of vanes a<1>, a<2> and b<1>, b<2> are given an oscillating motion about fixed points so that they alternately approach and recede from each other, giving the four-stroke cycle. The vanes a<3>, a<2> and b<1>, b<2> are secured to disks a, b respectively, which are carried by concentric shafts c, d. the hollow shaft c forming an inlet passage leading the charge to a chamber m communicating with the inlet port o. The shafts c, d carry levers e, f connected by links e<1>, e<2>, f<1>, f<2> to crank-shafts g supported by a stationary gear-case B and carrying pinions i which mesh with a gear-wheel j secured to the rotary casing A. The oscillating motion of the vanes may be obtained by other gear than this. The engine is cooled by a ribbed oil or water jacket C carried by the rotary cylinder A and containing baffle-plates c<1>. The motor fly-wheel, or in the case of an aeroplane the propeller, is mounted on a member r secured to the cylinder A.

Electro-magnetic interrupters.-Interrupters for electric bells, induction coils, &c. are operated by impact upon a substantially inflexible and immovable member which by virtue of elastic reaction transmits motion to the movable contact member. For use in mines or other places where explosive gases occur, an air-tight casing 1 encloses both the stationary contact 2 and the movable contact 6, which is displaced against a seating spring 7 by a blow from the bell armature 11 upon the outside end of the casing, the motion being transmitted through the casing and the stationary contact. Pivoted gravitating contacts may replace the spring- seated rectilinearly moving contact shown.
