[Classes 78 (ii) and 78 (iv)] In a jib crane provided with a counter-weight which is displaced by means of a hydraulic motor, the crane part comprising the jib, counterweight and its guides, the hoisting gear and accessories is pivotally mounted on a horizontal axis so that when changes take place in the crane load it moves about this axis and such movement controls a valve in the supply and discharge circuits of the hydraulic motor in such a manner that the counterweight is moved to the position of equilibrium with regard to the load. The Figures show the application to a crane mounted on a vehicle wherein the supporting frame 4 of the crane is pivotally mounted by a shaft 3 on a base member 24 which is mounted to swing about a vertical axis on the vehicle chassis. The counterweight 5 is moved over the frame 4 by a hydraulic motor comprising a double-acting cylinder 6 slidably mounted in the frame 4 and a piston 7 attached to the frame, the cylinder being provided at its ends with pulleys 8a, 8b over which pass cables 9 fixed to the frame at 10a and to the counterweight at 10b. The motor is automatically controlled by a valve 11 comprising a member 12 co-operating with an arm 13 fixed to the frame 24 and slidably mounted in a housing 14 provided with passages 15, 16 coupled respectively to the delivery and suction conduits of the pump of the motor, and with passages 17, 18 connected to opposite ends of the cylinder 6. When a load is lifted, the crane tilts forward about the shaft 3 and the member 12 is projected by the spring 22, the housing 14 taking up the relative position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. Liquid is supplied under pressure through the passage 15<1>, groove 19 in the member 12 and passage 17<1> to one end of the cylinder while liquid is discharged from the other end through passages 18<1>, 16<1>. The counterweight is thereby moved outwards until equilibrium is restored when the passages 17, 18 are closed by the portions 12<1>, 12<11> of the member 12 and the weight locked in position. When the load is deposited, the housing 14 takes up the relative position shown in full lines in which liquid flows through passage 15, groove 19 to passage 18 and returns through passage 17, groove 20, passages 21, 16. The hoisting cable 28 is operated by a hydraulic piston-and-cylinder device on the jib, the cable passing round a pulley 26 mounted on a cylinder 25 and a pulley 27 securedto the co-operating piston-rod (not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to a windshield cleaner mechanism
IPC: B60S1/06
Filed: 1945-12-10
Abstract: 606,537. Power take-off devices. EATON MANUFACTURING CO. Dec. 10, 1945, No. 33331. Convention date, July 10, 1944. [Class 79 (ii)] A windscreen wiper mechanism for an automobile is driven from the engine through a, substantially constant speed eddy current coupling operable .with continuous slippage, whereby the wiper is operated at a speed which remains nearly constant during the entire engine speed range. The coupling may also drive the fan of a blower for heating and ventilating the car interior. As shown, the coupling 36, which is mounted within the ducting of a ventilating system, comprises a housing 45 of magnetic material adapted to be driven by a belt 51 off the engine shaft by a pulley 52. Within the housing is located a rotor 46 also made of magnetic material and has integral with it an energizing coil 47 whose ends are connected to slip rings 65, 66 from which it derives it current. The rotor and slip rings are mounted on a shaft 49 about which the housing 45 rotates. The shaft 49 may be clutched to a flexible drive 34 for operating the wipers or remain unclutched for operating the blower only for the ventilating system such blower being driven off the coupling 36. The coil 47 is energized from the vehicle battery through a variable resistance 78 which controls the wiper speed. In operation a control arm 80 is moved across the resistance 78 and an arcuate contact 79. Current passing through the resistance energizes the coil 47 of the coupling and the contact 79 energizes a magnetic clutch 55 which connects the coupling to the wipers. When the contact 80 is returned to its off position the wipers will continue to operate until the crank 29 on the wiper mechanism opens the contacts 63a, 63b of a parking switch, which when closed maintains engagement of the clutch 55, whereby the wiper arms are correctly parked. The blower mechanism may be operated independently of the wiper mechanism by a control 7, which on actuation opens a valve 41 to admit air through the filler 40, fan 38 and duct 43 into the car interior. With the circuit shown, independent control of the blower speed by means of the control 71 is obtained only when the windscreen wiper control 80 is in the " off " position and arm 80 engages contact 81. When the wiper is in use the speed of the blower is dependent on the speed of the wiper as determined by the position of the control arm 80. In modifications the blower mechanism may be omitted and the coupling housing driven (a) as described above without the magnetic clutch or (b) off the generator shaft, also without the magnetic clutch.
