Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 4201. Landrin, M. Feb. 19. Ploughs; cultivators.-A one-way tilling - implement comprises a motor - vehicle and one or more frames adapted to be reversed or raised by turning about an horizontal axis and carrying dishshaped disks which are driven from the motor and are adjustable in various ways. The effect on the soil may be varied by driving the disks at different speeds. The main wheels 2 are driven from the motor 4 by chains 7 and speed and differential gearing, and the steering- wheels 3 are actuated from a handwheel 5 between two seats. The disks 8 are adjustably secured on a cardan shaft 9 by split sleeves or bosses tightened by bolts. The shaft 9 is driven by chain gearing 15A, 15<B>. The inclination of the shaft 9 is adjustable by means of a hand-wheel 18, gear-wheel 19, and toothed segment 20. Scrapers 21 are adjustably bolted to a grooved support 22 which is adjustable about the shaft 9 by toothed segments 27, 28 and pinions 29, 30 on a hand-wheel shaft 31. The disk-carrying frame 10, 11, 12 may be turned about horizontal pivots 35, 36 into the position indicated. It is moved by means of ropes or chains 54, 55 passing over elevated guide-pulleys and wound on drums 50, 51 which are driven by bevel and chain gearing. When the frame is vertical, a projection 60 engages a clutch lever 45, and thus moves a clutch 42 and reverses the rotation of the drums. In a modification, disks are mounted at both ends of the machine on pivoted frames, which may be adjusted simultaneously or separately by such means as a hand-wheel 70, Fig. 4, worm gearing 69, chain wheels 71, chains 72, rods 73, and springs 74. Each disk may be mounted on a separate shaft 76 carried by arms 78, 79 pivoted in a bracket 87, which may be rocked, without stopping the machine, by rotating a worm shaft 84. Each disk is driven by a rope 90 from the shaft 89, about which the frame is rotatable, adjustable guide-pulleys 91 being provided. The grooved support 92, to which the disks are connected, may be adjusted about a pivot 93 at one end. In another modification, the disks are mounted on two symmetricallyarranged shafts connected by universal joints to a driven shaft. Flat disks may be mounted in front of the disks 8.

Abstract: 15,343. Smith, F. W., and Larsen, L. Sept, 30, 1909, [Convention date]. Automatic circuit - breakers; mechanicallyinterconnected switches. - A multiple - switch arrangement for controlling electric motors comprises a main switch or automatic circuitbreaker 17, Figs. 1 and 10, closed by hand or electro-magnetically, and a series of resistance switches 56 so connected mechanically to the main switch 17 that the preliminary closing movement of the main switch opens all the switches 56. Simultaneously with the closing of the main switch, a cam-shaft 14 is released, and, under the returning action of a spring 53 controlled by a dash-pot 52, allows the switches 56 to close in succession. The main switch or circuit-breaker 17, Fig. 7, carried by an arm 16 loose on the shaft 13 is mechanically connected by a catch 18 to a lever 15 fixed to the shaft 13. The lever 15 is actuated either by operating a hand-lever 22 loosely mounted on the shaft 13, or, by closing the switch 34, to complete the circuit of the solenoid 30, the core 31 of which is connected by a link 32 to the shaft 13. When the main switch 17 is to be operated by hand, the switch 34 is closed to complete the circuit of a hold-on magnet 29, the armature 28 of which has a hook projection 27 adapted to engage with a pin 26 on the lever 15 when the main switch is closed. The main switch, whether closed by hand or electrically, is released when the switch arm 34 is moved into its mid-position to break the circuit of either of the coils 29, 30. An overload release coil 37 is provided, the armature 38 of which is adapted to raise the catch 18 by engaging with a pin 40, and so permit the main switch to open. A bellcrank lever 46, Fig. 4, carried by a pin 45 on the lever 15, engages with a shoulder 44 on a disk 43, fixed to the cam-shaft 14, so that the forward movement of the lever 15 rocks the cam-shaft to open the switches 56. Simultaneously with the closing of the main switch, a pin 48 trips the bell-crank lever 46 and so frees the disk 43. The cam-shaft 14 is then rotated in the reverse direction by a spring 53, the rotation of the cams 55, Fig. 3, allowing the switches 56 to close in succession. A gravity dog 54, Fig. 4, riding normally upon the periphery of the disk 43, prevents the main switch from being closed without first rocking the cam-shaft to open the switches 56 Switches, quick-make.-Each of the switches 56 comprises a switch arm, to which a contact 59 is yieldingly secured by a stem 62 and spring 63. The arm 56 is in the form of a bell-crank lever, and has, pivoted to its short end, a bar 73 carrying an antifriction roller 77. On operating the main switch, the cam 55 engages with the roller 77 to open the switch 56 ; when the cam is rotated in the reverse direction by the spring 53, the switch arm 56 is snapped back into the closed position by the spring 70.
