Title: Improvements in Weighing Machines.
Inventor: CLARK JAMES PROCTOR KYD
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1912-05-06
Granted: 1913-05-06
Abstract: 10,747. Clark, J. P. K. May 6. Automatic-feed weighers.-In a machine for weighing powdered material and having a feedshoot with a curved lower end, the feed shutter is moved step-by-step in a circular path over the feed-orifice by means capable of such adjustment that, while leaving one predetermined position of rest of the shutter unaltered, the remaining positions may be varied. A rotary hopper d, Fig. 2, is supported on a ball race g and material adhering to the sides is removed by a scraper blade w attached to a stationary ring s. A second scraper may be arranged within a tubular portion of the hopper. Below the rotary hopper is a discharge conduit 9 containing a stirrer 8, which is rotated at the same time as the hopper d, and the feed of material from the bottom of the conduit is cut off bv three movements of a shutter 10 actuated from a shaft 19 by means of a coupling-rod 16, Fig. 1, which is coupled to the shutter-operating crank 12 through an adjusting-screw 14. Thus, if in one predetermined position of the shutter as, for example the closed or the ' nearly closed ' position, the screw 14 and coupling-rod 16 are at right-angles, the remaining positions of the shutter may, bv rotating the adjusting-screw 14. be varied without altering the predetermined position. The weigh-pan b is mounted on a compound beam a, a<1>, Fig. 2, of the kind described in Specification 2.5,761/99, and is tilted to discharge its contents by mechanism of the type described in Specification 13,712/04. The rotary hopper d, the shutter 10 and the device for tilting the weigh-pan are operated respectively from shafts p, 19, 40 on which loose pulleys rotate constantly. The pulleys are coupled to their shafts by electro-magnetically operated friction clutches 3, 21, 42 such as that described in Specification 5152/10, [Class 80(ii), Gearing, Variable speed &c.], the clutches being controlled by electric contacts on the weighbeam. Assuming the full feed to be in operation, the weigh-beam tilts, and, by closing the contact 54, couples-up the clutch 21, thereby producing a small rotation of the shutter-operating shaft 19, which rotation partially cuts off the feed and breaks the circuit established by the contact 54, thus putting the clutch 21 again out of action. Similarly, further tilting of the beam closes first a contact 55 and then a contact 56, and causes the clutch 21 first to reduce the feed still further and finally to complete the cut-off. Before the shutter-operating shaft 19 comes to rest, a contact 24 thereon disengages the clutch 3 and stops the rotation of the hopper d and stirrer 8, and a contact 25 couples-up the clutch 42 and causes the shaft 40 to make one revolution to empty the weigh-pan. A contact 45 on the shaft 40 couples-up the clutch 21 and the feed shutter is reopened and the hopper d and stirrer 8 are again rotated.

Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 16,160. Gast, B. July 12, 1911, [Conven tion date]. Clutches, arrangements and applications of, and disconnectible gearing.-In power-driven agricultural ploughs &c., special means are pro vided for disconnecting the driving-mechanism when the cultivating-tools strike against fixed obstacles. The tool frame x is pivotally fastened to one arm of a double-armed lever a on a spindle b, and is connected to the other arm by a rope e passing over a roller f. A worm-wheel on the spindle b gears with a worm d on a shaft h, which is normally pressed forwards by a spring l until a boss p rests against a ball bearing p<1>. When a share meets an obstacle which offers a greater resistance than the pressure of the spring l, the frame x moves rearwards and upwards relatively to the main frame y and thus rotates the spindle b and the worm-wheel c, which forces the worm d and its shaft h backwards. A disk i on the shaft h moves a casing m connected to a pivoted fork q by means of a ring groove q' and pins q<2>. The fork q is connected by a pulling-device t to means for disconnecting the driving-mechanism. The shaft h may be rotated by hand or power to move the frame x.

Abstract: 17,750. Avery, W. & T., and Brown, A. W. Aug. 2. Automatic - f e e d weighers. - Relates to mechanism for weighing and recording the residue remaining in automatic scales employed for weighing grain, coal, &c. Above the weight box A of the machine is suspended a residue steelyard B mounted on a knife - edge Hand coupled to intermediate levers C<1>, C<2>. When a residue is to be weighed, the steelyard is connected to the weight box by means of a removable pin N. A ticket slot G is provided for obtaining a printed record after adjustment of the steelyard poises. Attached to the steelyard B is a load bar K, Fig. 4, bearing graduations from the lowest to the highest capacity limits of the scale, in this case from one to two tons. The steelyard B is graduated from zero to the upper limit of capacity, namely two tons, but the graduations run in a reverse direction to that usually adopted. To ascertain the weight of a residue, a poise L is first adjusted on the load bar K to the weight contained in the weight box A, the poises on the steelyard B are adjusted to equilibrium, and the weight of residue is read off on the reversed graduations and a printed record is obtained.
