Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 23,609. Lake, W. E., [International Telemeter Co.]. Oct. 25. Switches. - The station mechanism of telegraphic signalling systems includes a primary signal controller shown in Fig. 5. The armature 33 of the electromagnet is on a pivoted lever 34, and is normally held away from the magnet by the spring attached to the regulating- screw 37, the projection 36<a> of the frame acting as a back stop. A pawl on the end of the lever engages a ratchet 40 on a spindle 40<a>, thus serving to turn the contact-brush 43 to make contact with the pin 46 on the insulating disk 44 when the controlling-key in the circuit of the magnets 32 is tapped. The contact-pins at the different stations are placed at different angular distances from the pins 43, and thus contact is made successively, the particular station at which contact is made being shown by a hand corresponding in angular position with its brush, moving on a dial 48. A pair of insulated spring contacts 49 are placed adjacent to the lever 34, and are normally held together by a stud on the lever, while at the end of the spindle is the projection 56 adapted to be held by the armature of the electro-magnet 53 and thus lock the spindle. The two pairs of contacts are in series in the second local circuit 57, including a battery and an electro-magnet 59 of a secondary controlling-device S', Fig. 10, the armature of which has an arm 62 normally extending in the path of the regulating fly 64 of a spring-driven clock-work (not shown), which turns the cam-disk 68 provided with a projection extending about 90 degrees, and a pin 79. As the disk turns, the projection closes the pairs of contacts 69, 70 and 71, 72, and, after turning through a quarter of a revolution, allows them to open. After another quarter of a revolution, the pin 79 closes contacts 73, 74 and 75, 76, and the stop 80 prevents further rotation by engaging with the stop 81.

Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 82. Turcotte, J. H. Jan. 1. Spindle apparatus; clearing - apparatus; antiballooning arrangements.-A spinning or twisting device comprises a rotary hollow guide 7, Fig. 2, which carries a number of upright arms 21 with eyes 23 for receiving the yarn or thread, and has a number of lateral supports 20, which run in contact with balls 22 arranged between the supports and ball races 10, 17 formed in the base 2 and cap 8 respectively, which are in the form of rings. The base has slotted lugs 11 by which it is adjustably secured to the ring rail 1, and the cap is screwed on to the base until the bearings are correctly adjusted, and is locked in position by a ring 15. The vertical edges 26 of each arm are chamfered, and act with the corners of a number of notches 16, Fig. 3, cut on the inner edge of the cap, to clear away dirt &c., which is then blown away by the draught produced by the revolving bobbin ; the sharp edges also offer less resistance to the air. The shell of the guide 7 has a number of openings 18, 19, 25, which lighten the guide and afford passages for the air currents created by the revolving bobbin. These air currents facilitate the rotation of the guide, expel the dirt &c. through the notches 16, and serve to some extent as an antifriction medium in which the guide revolves. The eyes 23 may be furnished with any suitable antifriction material. One or more vertical toothed clearers 9 are rotatably mounted on spindles 30 on blocks 27, which are adjustably fixed to the cap 8, and the thread, in ballooning, strikes the clearers and so is cleaned and freed from lumps, while the clearers, being rotated by the yarn, are themselves kept clean. The clearers serve as separators or anti-ballooning arrangements. The number of arms 21, notches 16, supports 20, and clearers 9 depends on the size of the apparatus, but is generally foiir, as shown.

Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 10,162. Iversen, J. May 10, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Overwinding, preventing speed, governing.-The motion of a mine cage &c. is controlled by a regulating-device which is brought into action whenever the actual speed exceeds the permissible speed for the particular position of the cage, the permissible speed being indicated by the motion of a piston in a valved cylinder containing liquid. The apparatus comprises a stand A on which the ordinary two-spindle depth-indicator B and the regulator cylinder C are mounted. The travelling nuts 1 are adapted to engage beneath a ledge on a counterweight 6 which is connected by a rope 8 to the piston 9 working in the cylinder C. The piston has a valve 22 opening downwards so as to allow the liquid to circulate freely during upward motion of the piston. An opening f in the cylinder C places the upper and lower ends in communication, and the size of the opening is regulated by a valve 10 operated by a lever 14. This lever is automatically operated by a cam 11 carried by the counterweight 6. The rope 8 passes over a sheave 7 mounted on a lever 16 which is connected by a weighted link 18 to a lever 20 operating the control mechanism, brakes &c., of the engine. During the first half of the wind the weight 6 falls, and the piston 9 rises freely until the ascending nut 1 picks up the weight. The cam 11 then gradually operates the valve 10 and diminishes the openingf so as to limit the speed of the piston 9. If at any time the actual speed of the cage exceeds that allowed by the cataract cylinder, the rope 8 slackens and the brakes &c. are brought into operation until the speed is reduced to the normal. The valve 10 can be controlled from the driver's stand by the lever 24 connected to a rod 27 carrying a stop 28 engaging a lever 23 on the pivot of the valve-control lever 14. The rod 27 is also connected to a bell-crank lever 30 on which is mounted the pivot 19 of the regulating-lever 20, so that the regulating-mechanism &c. of the engine can be controlled directly from the driver's stand. The regulating-mechanism may comprise a throttle valve, an electric resistance, brakes of variable power or other apparatus.
