Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 18,869. Price, S. L. Nov. 14. Centrifugal switches, for use with dynamos and accumulators, motors, &c. Two spring- controlled contact-carriers e, n<1> upon a rotating arm c are adapted to slide radially over a contact disk fixed to the rotating shaft b. In the normal position, the carriers are pressed against the shaft b by springs g, o,'and, although the carrier n<1> rests upon contacts p, q, no circuit is completed. At a given minimum speed, the carrier e moves outwards and engages a contact d, completing the circuit as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. If a given maximum speed is exceeded, the second carrier n<1> moves outwards and leaves the contact p, thereby interrupting the circuit. The radial arm c may be adjusted on the shaft to determine the limits of operation, and the springs g, o are also capable of independent adjustment.

Abstract: 26,137. Soc. Anon. des Anciens Etablissements Panhard & Levassor. Jan. 12, [Convention date]. Clutches, friction.-Relates to means for lubricating and for ensuring disengagement of plate clutches. Sliding on bolts 7 in the flywheel 4, 6 is a ring 5 pressed by springs 8 against a disk 1 on the shaft 2, which disk is in turn pressed against the fly-wheel part 4. Pressure on the ring 5 is released by levers 9 and a sleeve 12 actuated by the pedal.
