Title: Improvements in or relating to Switches and Fuses for Starting Three-phase Electric Motors and the like.
Inventor: HOPE VERNON
Filed: 1908-02-29
Granted: 1909-03-29
Abstract: 4597. Hope, V. Feb. 29. Switches; cut-outs.-In switches provided with fuses for starting three-phase electric motors and the like, no starting - resistance is used, and the normal running fuses are short-circuited by inserting larger fuses or bridging them with copper blades, the larger fuses or blades being removed when the motor is started. The switch terminals dare bridged by switch blades e hinged to lugs f on the fixed part a of the casing. Each blade is fitted with a hinged member and spring to secure a rapid break. The hinged members are connected to a cranked operating-bar g by slotted links j, the larger or short-circuiting fuses being carried in clamps k rigidly connected to the bar g. The normal running fuses o are connected with the terminal clips m of the fuses l by means of conductors o<1>. When the motor is started, the bar g is rotated by means of a handle p, until the switch blades e lie between the terminals d, and the fuses l between the terminals m. As soon as the motor is fully started, the bar g is rotated in the reverse direction, either automatically or manually, until the fuses l are out of contact with the terminals m ; during this movement, the bar g moves in the slots of the links j, so that no motion is given to the switch blades e. The fuses can thus be removed without breaking the circuit. For automatically removing the fuses l, a spring may be inserted between the operating - handle p and a lever loosly mounted on the end of the bar g, as shown in Fig. 2. When the fuses l are being forced between the clips m, this lever bears against a stop q, thereby placing the spring in tension ready to remove the fuses when the handle is released.

Abstract: 9124. Dodwell, A. E. April 27. [Patent of Addition to No. 15,292, A.D. 1907.] Points and swiches; conductors.-Relates to improvements in the operating-mechanism for railway and tramway points, signals, &c. described in Specification No; 15,292, A.D. 1907, so as to render the same capable of easy adjustment as regards the throw given to the points &c. The hooked hinged bars c are, according to the present invention, connected one to each end of a double crank e, mounted on the shaft f, and one of the bars is also connected to a crank k on the shaft l, which also carries the cranks m, n. Links o, p connect these cranks to levers q, r provided with slots s, by which the links are adjustably secured thereto. To the other end of the lever r is pivoted a rod t connected in any suitable manner to the points &c. The lever q is extended in both directions so as to carry at its outer ends wires v for operating the points of the overhead conductors. By adjusting the points of connexion of the links o, p with the levers q, r, the throw of the points &c. can be adjusted as desired. In a modified arrangement, the attachment of the links to the cranks is made adjustable instead of the attachment to the levers. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the links are connected to the wires for operating the conductor points by means of spring boxes, consisting of inverted cups in which a spring is located round the respective link, so as to bear at one end against a collar on the link and at the other end against a closing- piece, screwed into the end of the box and provided with a hole for the passage of the upstanding link.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Feeding Mechanisms for Rock Drills, Pneumatic Hammers and the like.
Inventor: WAUGH DANIEL SHAW
Filed: 1908-04-28
Granted: 1909-04-28
Abstract: 9219. Waugh, D. S. April 28. Fluid-pressure hammers.-A fluid-pressure feeding-means for rock drills, hammers, &c. has means to relieve the pressure due to the feed to allow the tool to be rotated more readily. A. taper valve 35, in the neck 28 between the motor cylinder 13 and the feed cylinder 18, forms the controlling-means. Ports 48, 50 open from a recess 47 in the valve 35, the port 48 being adapted to register with a port 46 to admit pressure fluid from a hose 41 to an annular chamber 42 surrounding the casing 43 of a suitable reciprocatory distributing-valve 44, while the port 50 is adapted to register with a port 49 to admit pressure fluid to the feed cylinder 18. Another passage 51 in the valve 35 is adapted to register with the port 49 to exhaust the feed cylinder. Another passage 59 leading from the recess 47 is adapted to register with a passage 57 leading to the forward end of the motor cylinder, and at the same time a groove 56 in the valve 35 connects a passage 55 leading to the feed cylinder 18 with a passage 52 leading to the front of the motor cylinder. As shown diagrammatically in Fig. 3, this passage 52 is adapted to register with the passage 57 or with an exhaust passage 62 according to the position of the tappet 15 between the drill and the piston 14. In operation, the valve 35 is turned till the supply port 50 registers with the port 49, whereupon pressure fluid passes to the feed cylinder to feed the tool to its work. Further rotation of the valve also admits pressure fluid through the ports 48, 46 to the distributing-valve to reciprocate the piston 14. The ports 50,48 may register with their respective ports simultaneously or otherwise. The tool is rotated by means of a handle 64<a>. If the pressure on the rock causes too great a resistance to this rotation, the valve 35 is again turned. This cuts off the port 49, brings the ports 48, 46 to full register, and also brings the passage 59 into register with the passage 57, and the groove 56 into connexion with the ports 55, 52. Then as shown in Fig. 3, when the piston 14 is not in contact with the tappet 15, there is exhaust from the feed cylinder 18 through the passages 55, 56, 52, 54, groove 64, and passage 62. This relieves pressure so that the drill may be rotated. When the piston strikes the tappet, the exhaust is cut off, and pressure fluid passes to the feed cylinder through the passages 59, 57, groove 63, and passages 53, 52, 56, 55. When the piston 14 returns, the exhaust is again opened. When the drill is to be transported, the valve 35 is turned so that the passage 51 registers with the passage 49 to exhaust the feed cylinder, and the feed piston 19 is retracted and is then held by spring ring 33. The feed piston 19 has a leather packing- ring 21 held by a washer 22, a screw 24, and pin 23. To clear the point of the drill, air or water is supplied from the hose 65 through passages 66, 67, passages 69 in the tappet, and a passage 70 in the drill 16. '
