Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 22,676. Weyant, T. R. Oct. 20. Automatic-feed weighers; feeding-devices.-Two or more balances are arranged beneath shoots 2, 3, and a deflector, connected to the pivoted armature C<c>, shuts off the feed from the hopper to the balances alternately. The deflector is arranged inside the casing 7 and parallel to the armature C<c>. To start an operation, the armature is forced over against one of the electromagnets C<a>, C<b>. The granulated material then falls into one of the receptacles (F<a> in the position shown) until, on the completion of a load, the receptacle F<a> and rod 22 falls. The contact 14 is then broken and with it the circuits marked a, thus de-energizing the electromagnets Gb, C<b> and allowing the receptacle F<b> to rise and the armature Cc to swing back under the action of the spring q. This brings the armature under the influence of the magnet C<a>, which has been energized by the contact made at 15 on the rising of the receptacle F<b>. The receptacle F<a> is held down by the electromagnet G<a> until the cycle of operations is repeated.

Abstract: 29,371. Dion, A. de, and Bouton, G. July 30, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Clutches.-Relates to improvements on the friction clutch described in Specification No. 29,370, A.D. 1904. In the present arrangement, leather or fibre plates 6<1>, 10', Fig. 1, are both secured to the driven disc 9<1>, which is preferably made of aluminium, to facilitate removal of worn plates and cooling by conduction. Air circulates through canals 25, in the disc 3, arranged like the canals of a turbine and escapes through openings 26. Canals on the other side of the driven disc 9<1> carry air to an annular space 25<1> by way of holes in the casing 23. To make the engagement all round the discs more uniform, the central spring is replaced by several openings 28 in recesses 27 in the movable disc 7<1>. This disc normally presses the rims of the disc 9<1> against the fixed disc 5<1>. The other ends of the springs 28 rest in boxes 29 secured to the disc 4. For disconnecting, the ends 30 of the short arms of levers 17<1> pivoted to the disc 4 may engage with heads 31 of pins 32 secured to the disc 7<1> as shown in Fig. 1 ; or the levers 17<1> may be pivoted to the pins 32 and supported by heels reaching to the disc 4. The long arms of the levers 17<1> engage with a groove in a ring 33 screwed on a tube 15<1> against the end of which effort is applied through a ball bearing. The ring 33 is prevented from turning by pins 34, and adjustment for wear is effected by turning the tube 15<1> by means of notches 35. The tube 15<1> is secured, when adjusted, by screwing to the casing 23 stops 37 which fit into notches in a protruding part 36. The sleeve 13, which is secured to the disc 4 and limits the endlong movement of the tube 15<1>, runs on the shaft 11 on ball bearings as shown in Fig. 1, or on a plain bearing as shown in Fig. 3. In the latter case, marks on a protruding extension may serve to indicate the wear of the leather 6<1>, the wear of both leathers being indicated by the position of the ring 33 on the tube 15'. To facilitate circulation of air, the springs 28 may be caused to act on a disc 40<1>, Fig. 3, secured to the disc 7<1>, which is in this case provided with recesses 41, Fig. 4, to receive the pins 32, and recesses 42 to receive pins to take the driving torque.

Granted: 1905-12-14
Abstract: 10,794. Woodworth, L. B. May 23. Signals, mining; signals, electric-bell; indicating ringing of bells to operators. - In an electric signalling-system adapted for use in mines, and consisting of several stations in series, the signal bell at the engine-house is rung by means of a magneto generator at the calling-station, operated by means of a pull. A bell at this station is operated, at the same time indicating that the bell has been rung at the engine-house. The magneto generator is normally short-circuited, and the call can only be made when this circuit is broken by the insertion of a special key. Fig. 1 illustrates the apparatus at a station. When the lever arm c is pulled down, the double-armed lever e carrying the pawls f rotates the ratchet-wheel g which drives the generator a. A current will then flow along the wire w through the magnet coils of the local bell m and return to the generator along the wire u through the switches p, n. The latter can be opened by the insertion of a key in the hole o', in which case the current would leave the terminal v and return from the engine-house to the terminal r, ringing the bell at the engine-house and the local bell, but not affecting the bells at other line stations in series unless they also have the switches n opened, there being normally a shortcircuit between the terminals r, v through the switches n, p. The switch p is similar to the switch n and is for use in case of emergency, the key being kept under a glass cover.
