Title: Improvements in Electric Motor Controllers.
Inventor: BARNARD THOMAS
IPC: H01H3/26
Filed: 1911-02-18
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 4190. Barnard, T., and Edwards, G. C. Feb. 18. Push - button control systems; controllers, actuating-mechanism for. - In a controller for motors driving printing-machines, a plunger F, Fig. 1, carrying brushes G, H for engaging, respectively, with the small-motor contacts D and the large-motor contacts C, E, is raised in a smooth continuous manner by means of a motor-driven pinion L<1> gearing with a rack F<3> on the plunger. The general construction of the switch follows that described in Specification 6535 / 10. The brush G is composite, and is made up of parts G', G<2>, G<3>, Fig. 6, on an insulating- collar F'. When the plunger is raised, part of the brush sweeps over the starting-contacts D of the small motor. The brush H then cuts resistance out of the armature circuit of the large motor by sliding over the contacts C, and finally the brush G cuts resistance into the large-motor field at the contacts E. The motions of the plunger are under the control of two push-buttons, of which one controls the circuit of the motor that drives the switch and the other controls the circuit of a clutch solenoid. The circuits of both push-buttons pass through limit switches 5<1>, 8<1>. The upper limit switch is opened by a collar G<4> on the plunger to stop the upward drive of the motor, and the lower limit switch 8<1> is opened by a collar G' to stop the downward fall of the plunger. The pinion L<1> and its shaft I, Fig. 5, are clutched by means of a plate L<6> to a wheel L which is driven by the motor. This clutching-action is effected by a spring O<2>, which abuts at one end against one side K of a housing containing the mechanism and at the other against the blind end of an opening in the core O<1> of the clutch solenoid O. When the solenoid is de-energized, the spring pushes the core outwards so that a lever N, articulated to the core and pivoted at N<1> to the housing, causes the pinion to be clutched to the motor. When the plunger is to be allowed to fall, the energization of the coil O draws in the core and releases the clutch.

Abstract: 16,879. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., and Remington, A. A. July 24. [Cognate Application, 25,419/11.] Springs, arrangement of; equalizing load on wheels and springs.- The weight of the body of a motor - vehicle is spring - supported from its axle in such a manner that the side springs are stiffer when resisting rolling than when absorbing shocks due to vertical movement of the body. This is effected by rigidly connecting the side springs F by a transverse shaft G mounted in bearings H in the main frame. These springs are linked to the axle casing C and to brackets M on the frame. During vertical movements of the body, the shaft G turns, but, when rolling only occurs, the shaft ceases to turn, and only the rear portions of the springs are in action. In a modification, shocks due to small irregularities in the road are absorbed by frictionless springs, Fig. 4, connected to the brackets M and the main springs F. The casing D, which acts as a torque-rod, extends from the casing C and is connected to the cross-bar A' by the universal joint D<1>.

Abstract: 17,273. Hopkins, T. July 24. Time checks.-Relates to that class of timepiece for checking billiards &c. in which an electric bell rings after a predetermined time by the minute - hand completing an electric circuit. The invention is applicable more particularly to apparatus such as that described in Specification 6781/06, and consists essentially in enclosing the timepiece in a case so as to be inaccessible, the necessary adjustments for resetting and stopping the timepiece being made by means of a key which fits the squared ends of spindles registering with suitable orifices in the in the case. In Fig. 1 is shown the timing- apparatus with the front of the case removed and the clock front 2 laid back. A clock movement 3 is connected to electric cells 9, 10 and bell 11 in the manner shown. One terminal 47 of the cell 10 is connected through a switch 41, 42 to metal strips 17, 23 which press upon the ends of spindles 12, 19. The spindles may by means of a key be turned to bring arms 14, 20 projecting through slots 16, 22 into or out of the path of the minute-hand as the case may be. Thus, by adjustment of the arms 14, 20, the bell may be caused to ring at the expiration of each half-hour. A similar arm 30 also operated by the key may be turned so as to engage and arrest the pendulum when desired. Two additional hands indicate half hours up to twelve hours, and periods of twelve hours respectively, and thus the number of games played may be ascertained.
