Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Control Systems.
IPC: B60L15/12
Filed: 1911-03-10
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 6095. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 10. Master control systems.-In a system of electric motor control in which the actuating- windings of a number of contactors are alternately connected to two actuating - circuits in order that the contactors shall operate in succession, the relays that energize the actuating - circuits alternately are arranged so that the resistance of the actuating - circuits is alternately reduced to cause the contactors to close successively. No contactor can be operated without the actuating- circuit of the succeeding contactor being opened. The actuating- windings of the contactors 1, 2, 3, 4 are connected alternately through auxiliary switches 7, 10, 13, 15 to actuating-wires 27, 28, auxiliary switches 5, 8, 11 completing the connexion of the last three contactor windings with their actuating-wire only when the preceding contactor has operated. Auxiliary switches 6, 9, 12, 14 complete a retaining-circuit for each coil, as it closes its contactor, through a contact d and a master switch when in positions a, b. In position b, the master switch energizes one or other of the actuating-wires through the contact e, according to the position of the relay contacts 18, 21. With all the contactors open, as shown in Fig. 1, the contactor 1 is energized and the relay contact 18 is lifted, this contact being in series with the actuating-wire 28. Before the contact 18 rises, the resistance of the actuating-circuit 27, owing to the high resistance of the relay coil, is too great to allow sufficient current to pass to operate the contactor 7, but when the contact 18 rises, it not only opens the actuating-circuit 28 but places a resistance r in shunt with the relay winding, and permits an actuating - current to flow. When the contactor 1 operates, it closes the second actuating-circuit 28 at the switch 5, and opens the first actuating-circuit 27 at the switch 7, thus causing the contact 18 to drop and complete the second actuating-circuit. The contacts 21 are then raised, opening the actuating- circuit 27 and also diminishing the resistance of the circuit 28 by placing a resistance r<1> in parallel with the high resistance of the second relay winding, and causing the contactor 2 to close. The action is repeated until all the contactors have operated. Current coils 24, 25 delay the fall of the contacts 18, 21, and hence retard the successive closing of the contactors. In a modification, the resistances r, r<1> are arranged in series with the respective relay coils, and are adapted to be short-circuited in turn as the relays operate; a current coil controls a contact in series with both actuating-circuits. Specification 7113/09 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Weight Recording Devices for Weighing Machines.
Inventor: DENISON SAMUEL
IPC: G01G23/00
Filed: 1911-10-12
Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 22,484. Denison, S. Oct. 12. Printing - apparatus for weighing-machines. -Relates to a weighing- machine of the kind in which the manipulation of the steelyard poises arranges type for the purpose of printing upon a ticket and tape separately or simultaneously and comprises means for preventing such records from being made unless the steelyard is in equilibrium. The major poise B carrying a rack C, and the minor poise consisting of a rack I, are traversed along the steelyard by means of wheels Q, R, which may be engaged alternatively with one or other of two pinions M, M<1> fixed to a spindle L capable of rotary and longitudinal movement by the operation of a hand-wheel K. The type-wheels Y, Z are connected to and rotate with the wheels Q, R. Weight-indicating disks are attached to the type-wheels. The pinions M, M<1> are embraced by a member N, which moves longitudinally with the spindle L but is not allowed to rotate. The wheel Q can be geared to its pinion to adjust the major poise B only when the minor poise I is locked at the outer limit of its movement by the entrance of a pin on the member N into a hole in the wheel R. After adjustment of the poise B, the spindle is moved to unlock the wheel R and bring the pinion M into gear with the wheel R for adjustment of the minor poise I. A second pin on the member N enters the teeth of the wheel Q and locks the major poise. To ensure that the final adjustment of the poise B shall always be in an outward direction, thus avoiding inaccuracies due to backlash, the wheel Q has attached thereto, with a slight amount of loose movement, a similar wheel which obstructs the second pin on the member N unless the loose movement is taken up by an outward movement of the poise B. The record of the weight is made on the tape or ticket by depressing a hand-lever S. This operation also slides a locking-bar V in an horizontal direction ; if the steelyard is in equilibrium, the bar V enters a hole X in the extremity of the steelyard, otherwise the printing operation cannot be performed. In addition to moving the bar V, the printing operation causes a lever to engage the teeth of the wheels Q, R and lock the poises. In a modification, the two pinions M, M<1> are replaced by a single pinion and instead of using the teeth of the wheels Q, R for locking purposes supplementary wheels attached to the wheels Q, R are used.

Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 2699. - Gardner, J. Feb. 2. Gyroscopic apparatus.-Relates to gyroscopic apparatus for steering torpedoes, and consists in locking the gear on the occurrence of an abnormal deviation, either vertically or horizontally, as might be caused by the wake of a ship, so that the torpedo may take a curved path intersecting the course of the ship it has missed or of following ships. Preferably, this locking-device is held out of action for a certain time at the start until the torpedo has assumed a straight course. As shown, a detent D, normally in the position shown in dotted lines, is released after a given time by a notch E<1> in a disk E rotated by the torpedo engine, and is then ready to fall into one or the other of the notches C, C<1> in an arm B secured to the vertical ring A of the gyroscope; this happens when the horizontal deviation is abnormally large. To bring about a similar result for vertical deviations, the horizontal ring G is cheeked by antifriction rollers H<1>, H<2>, and this sets up a precessional horizontal deviation which brings the detent D into play. The rollers H<1>, H<2> also are held out of action for a certain time until a notch in a ring K<1> releases a pin k and allows a shaft H with the rollers H<1>, H<2> to be rotated by a spring L to the position shown in full lines.

Abstract: 11,301. Thompson, D. J. Nov. 11. Skid; hand and foot actuation.-In skid brakes for motor-cars in which the brake shoes are dropped quickly to the ground by releasing a foot-lever, the braking pressure being then applied by a hand-lever acting through ratchet apparatus, means are provided whereby the shoes may be raised six or eight inches off the ground when released, and the axle is locked to the body as to relative vertical movement when the brakes are applied. The foot-lever C is connected by a rod C' and arm C<2> to the outer shaft E of two concentric shafts E, F, and a segment P on the shaft E is connected by a wire rope Y, Figs. 3 and 4, to a disk Q secured to a segment R, which is of twice the radius of the disk and is connected by a rope Z with a guide K in which slides the ratchet I carrying the brake shoe A. The foot-lever is released to allow the shoe to fall to the ground, by depressing a spring catch X, Fig. 1, on the hand-lever D. The hand-lever is connected by a rod D<1> and arm D<2> to the shaft F, which carries an arm G provided with a pawl H, which engages with the ratchet I to apply the braking pressure when the hand-lever is pulled backwards. To release the brakes, the hand-lever is moved forwards, and the footlever is then pushed forwards to raise the shoes. When the braking pressure is applied by the hand-lever, a spring-pressed pawl L, Figs. 3 and 4, pivoted to the axle is released by a tail-piece 0 on the arm G and engages with a rack M on the body, so as to lock the body to the axle, thus ensuring that the wheels will be raised off the ground. The pawl L is again disengaged by the tail-piece 0, when the braking pressure is removed. The ratchet guide K is pivoted to the shaft F to allow fore - and - aft movement of the shoe A. The shoe is connected to the body by wire stays B, and is maintained horizontal by a spring S.
