Title: Apparatus for Automatically Controlling the Clutch Connections of Driving and Driven Shafts.
Inventor: KUHLEWIND CORNELIUS
Filed: 1901-08-08
Granted: 1901-10-19
Abstract: 15,982. Kuhlewind, C. Aug. 8. Rolling. - Relates to a combined friction and positive clutch in which, under normal conditions, the power is transmitted by the friction clutch, and the positive clutch is thrown into action only when there is a falling-off in the speed of the driven shaft. The invention is described in connection with a rolling-mill for finishing hoop iron. The lower roll of the mill is positively driven from the shaft 7, and the upper roll from the shaft 9, which is connected by chain gear 11 to a countershaft 12 ; the shaft 7 carries a spur-wheel 13 in gear with a wheel 14 which, under normal conditions, drives the shaft 12 by a cone clutch 16, 17. The sliding member 17 of the clutch is drawn into action by springs 25 in the flywheel 24. The flywheel is loose but is formed with a ratchet-toothed boss adapted to engage with a corresponding boss 27 fixed to the shaft and is drawn into engagement therewith by springs, similar to the springs 25, located in the boss of the flywheel ; these springs are coupled to a yoke 30 which engages against a shoulder on the boss 27. When the speed of the shaft 12 falls, the flywheel runs on and, by the action of its toothed boss against the boss 27, is moved sideways, forcing the cone 17 out of contact with the cone 16, and at the same time pressing the spring plungers 19 against the face of the wheel 14 and so into engagement with holes formed therein. When the shaft has recovered its normal speed, the springs connected to the yoke draw the flywheel and clutches back to the normal position. In a modified arrangement, to obviate the side movement of the flywheel, the collar 22 on the part 17 of the clutch is connected to rods which pass through the boss of the flywheel and are bevelled at the ends to engage a ratchet-disc secured on the shaft in place of the boss 27.
