Abstract: 720,310. Brush rockers for electric motors; automatic speed-control systems. F.N.F., Ltd. March 2, 1953 [Feb. 28, 1952], No. 5296/52. Classes 35 and 38 (4). [Also in Groups IX and XXXIV] Brush rocking gear for a variable speed A.C. motor 13 driving a warping machine is controlled, to keep the linear speed of the yarn within predetermined limits as it is wound on the beam, by the hand of a speedometer which closes contacts when it reaches either of two hand-set pointers. One pointer is set at the maximum and the other at the minimum desirable yarn speed. If contacts 143 on the pointer 137 are closed, a solenoid 145 is energized and draws a rod 160 to the right, Fig. 12, and a pawl 158 turns a ratchet wheel 153 on a shaft 147. The movement of the shaft 147 is transmitted to the brush gear by a chain drive and the speed of the machine is decreased. Movement of the rod 160 to the right causes a nut 176 to pivot a cam 173 whereby a feeler 172 opens a micro-switch 170. A spring 166 then withdraws the rod to the left and a nut 177 causes the feeler 172 to close the micro-switch. If the hand 134 is still in contact with the pointer 137, the solenoid will again be energized and the ratchet mechanism rotated through one more tooth. Engagement of the hand 134 with the pointer 139 closes a contact 144 and causes another ratchet wheel to be turned in the opposite direction and the speed of the machine is increased. Push buttons 203, 204 are provided in parallel with the contacts 143, 144 so that the brush rocking gear can be controlled by hand.
