.AiPplicationfiled March 1,1917. Serial No 151,859.
To all whomit; may concern Be it known that I, VVAILTER. Fnnnls, a citizen of the. United States, residingvlat i ii- South lvlilwaukee, in the county of:
waukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented a certain new and. useful Improvement in JibHoists and Automatic Interlocking Devices for Locomotiye: Cranes and the like, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in jib hoists and automatic interlocking devices for locomotive cranes. It will be understood that it refers generally'to that part of the crane controlling and operating mechanism which concerns itselfiw-ith raising andzlowering the jib or boom. It will be understood that unlike a, locomotive steamv shovel the boom orjibof the locomotive crane is. adapted to be raised; and lowered. Ordinarily this raising and lowering taken place before the work starts, but under some circumstances it must be raised and lowered carrying a full load. Ordinarily the arrangement; of the machinery is such that when the engineer wishes to raise the jib he, connects the hoisting engine with theoperating drum to raise it and, then when the raising has been done releases the connection between the engine and the drum and allows the; drum which is held against rotation by ratchet and pawl to hold. the jib in position.
In operating a wrecking crane it happens occasionally that the operator will forgetto take theweight of the jib on the pawl and ratchet provided for thatpurpose before he throwsout the clutch by meansofwhich the jib hoist drum is driven. Whenever this occurs the boom of course falls, On my crane a positive interlockingarrangement has; been provided, whereby it is im'poss'ible 'to open the clutch whilethe-pawls are disengaged, so that atall times the load must be carried either by the engine or by'the pawls.
My invention is illustrated mor'eor less diagrammatically in the accompanying drawings. wherein- Figure 1 is a side elevation;
Figure 2 is a section along the line 2--2 of Figure 1 and. shows the clutch out;
Figure 3 is a similar; section with parts omitted showing the working parts in a different position with the clutch Figure Lisa digrammatioshowing of the relation between the dogs and ratchet wheel. Like parts are indicated like characters in all the figures.
A is a side frame provided with journals .A A A wherein may be rotatably mounted; shafts carrying any suitable operating drums. A is a shaft rotatably mounted in the journals A This shaft carries keyed thereon the jib hoisting drum A. A is a housing containing a clutch not specifically illustrated. The clutch may be suitable form such as a aw clutch or: the like.
' B is. a clutch lever pivoted on a bracket B? on the side frame fir. B is an air cylinder adapted to operate the clutch lever-to engage and disengage the clutch. The-clutch lever is forked as at B to engage trunnions B? on the clutch controlling collar 3. The forks are bent together beyond the clutch controlling collar and terminate in a fork B. C is a latch bar pivoted by a pin C in the fork'B. It is adapted to slide onthe bearing bracket G It is slottedas at C and provided-"with a shoulder C and arrangedfto slide back and forth as the clutch lever is oscillated. C is a latch lever pivoted on the bracket C C isa link pivotedat one end onthe lever C? and at the other end on a lever C whichlever is rigidly mounted on a shaft and a bracket C onthe' frame C is a lever rigidly mounted on the other end of the: shaft C and in pivotal connection with an operating'bar C which bar is provided with ahandle- C and is slidably. mounted in a bracket C and is notched as at C to engage said bracket; Dis a ratchet wheel mounted on thatside of: the clutch which carries the drum and having aboutiis periphery a series of teeth D adapted to be engaged by dogs. D y-D 1 These dogs are each of them rotatably mounted-upon an eccentric bearing D which eccentric bearing itself is rotatably mounted upon the pin D projecting from the side frame A. The eccentricD is socketed at one sideof its engagement on the pin or stud D to engage the-thrust bar D This thrust bar carriesa collar D rigidly mounted thereon and'is slidable in the lug D Springs 1) and D surround the bar I) and are adapted to be compressed between the lug D and the collar D the arrangement being such that the lighter spring'D is longer than the heavier spring D and is compressed partially before the heavier spring comes into operation. These two springs form a yielding abutment which through the eccentric and dogs hold the drum against rotation. D is a cam shaped locking lug formed on the eccentric D adapted at certain times to come into engagement with the shoulder C on the bar C.
The dogs D and D are controlled by the reach rods E, E which are both pivoted on the lever C The reach rod E extends into the pivoted socket E which socket is pivoted on a lug E on the dog D The rod is slidable in said socket and is surrounded by a spring E which is anchored at one end on the socket E and at the other end on the rod adjacent it ,pivot point. The rod E engages the socket pivoted on the lug E on the dog D being slidable therein. It is surrounded. by a spring E anchored at one endon the rod adjacent its pivot point and at the other end on the socket E".
It will be evident that while I have shown in my drawings an operative device, still many changes might be made both in size, shape and arrangement of parts without departing materially from the spirit of my invention and I wish therefore, that my drawings be taken as in a sense diagrammatic.
The use and operation of my invention are as follows The holding dogs are loosely mounted on a large eccentric which in turn is mounted on the stud rigidly set in the side frame. When either of these dogs carries a load the reaction will pass through the center of the eccentric. This tends to turn the eccentric on the stud and this turning tendency is resisted by a buffer spring which is preferably provided with a lighter auxiliary spring having a greater free length than the main spring. The primary purpose of mounting the dogs on the eccentric reacting against the buffer spring is to form a yielding abutment to absorb shocks received through the ratchet wheel.
In applying the interlocking device to this part of the mechanism the cam shaped projecting lug upon the eccentric, it will be noted, is located in such a position that where there is no reaction or no unusual shoulder on the sliding bar load carried by either pawl, the buffer sprlng will push the eccentric around to this no load position so that the cam shaped locking lug crosses the path of the lower and this prevents any outer movement of the bar, and therefore prevents disengagement of the clutch. The purpose of the light spring with the long travel is to'get such positive and ample movement of the interlocking lug when the a minimum or merely due to the weight of the ib sufiicient to insure a proper inter? load carried by the pawls is at locking because the heavier stifier spring might very easily not travel a sufiicient distance to provide a positive and definite interlock.
The dogs may be withdrawn from engagement with the ratchet by the reach rods and levers as indicated, the peculiar features of these dogs being that the reach rods while pivoted to the lever are slidable in the pivotal heads so that they may thrust the dogs inwardly by a positive connection but slide outwardly away from the dogs when moved in the opposite direction. The rods E, E, are loosely socketed at E The shoulders shown on these rods partially concealed by the springs provide a positive connection with the sockets E E and the rods exert their pressure on the sockets E so that these shoulders limit the inward movement of the rods toward the sockets to get a positive downward pressure, but since the necked down end of the rod is slidable in the sockets, the rods may withdraw slightly, thus putting the spring under tension, which. when the load on the pawl is released, will pull the pawl up and. bring the socket back against the shoulder on the rods. However when so moved they cause the exertion of a tension in the coil springs tending yieldingly to draw the dogs outwardly. When it is desired to withdraw the dogs from engagement with the ratchet the operating lever or connecting arm is moved to the right rotating the short lever, drawing up on the reach rod and exerting a tension in the spring. One dog will, of course, not being held by the load applied to the ratchet wheel. immediately draw away from the ratchet, the other one being held by the load onthe drum will not be free to move. but when power is applied and the drum is rotated in a clockwise direction, the dog will be released and the spring will instantly draw it away from the ratchet teeth. It will be noted, of course. when the parts are in the position shown in Fig ure 2, the lever cannot be moved because when it is moved the short interlocking or latch lever must engage the notch in the sliding bar and in' the position shown in Figure 2 is cannot engage it. It is only when the clutch is thrown in that the notch is in such position that it can be engaged by the interlocking lever and it is only at such time when the parts are in the position shown in Figure 3 that the controlling rod can be drawn to the right to exert the tension which tends to move the do s out of the locking position.
Zssuming now that the jib or boom was being supported upon the pawl and the hoisting engine is being used for other purposes the clutch will have been disengaged by the power cylinder and it is desirable that the mechanism be so arranged that no steps towards disengaging the 'pawls be takenunless the sliding aw clutch is fully engaged, as experience has shown that this clutch is sometimes carelessly engaged on the corners only and when these corners become a rounded from continuous use the clutch may slip or be wedged out after the load has been raised and after the dogshave been disengaged. Such a. situation is obviously guarded against by the notch in the sliding bar which as indicated is so narrow that only when the clutch is fully in can the latch lever connected to the dog controlling apparatus swing down to permit the dogs to be disengaged because at other times the latch lever will strike the top of the bar and the dogsv could not be free. I I 1 As soon as the clutch, however, is fully engaged the operating lever may be moved and caught in the inner notch C so that it will be set to stretch the spring and of course, as scoon as the engine is started and the load lifted off the dOg the spring will contract and lift the dog out. This release of tated into the position shown in full lines in liigurejl and this absolutely prevents dis cngagement of the hoisting clutch by inadvertence or carelessness of the operator until one of the pawls hastaken the load as indicated by the compression spring result- ..ing in the rotation of the eccentric and a remoraliof thelocking cam from its position in front of the sliding bar. A third possibility of accident lies in the possible engagement of one of the dogs with the overhanging end of acorresponding ratchet tooth in such a pos'fon that it may slip off and thereby drop the load. This possibility and the provision against such an accident is made clear in Figure 4;. It will be seen that the profile of the ratchet wheel is such that the are between two teeth is divided into halves, the periphery through one half of the are being circular, and the remaining half gradually rising to the height of the ratchet tooth. This circular periphery is at the minimum radius of the root of the tooth and it is obvious from inspection that when either one of the dogs is either engaged fully or partially with a ratchet tooth, the other is lying against the surface of minimum radius and in position of engagement, although removed by one half of a tooth pitch from the tooth with slips. will; catch on the same tooth as the ratchet which it, would next engage. Therefore if one dog should slip out the othcrwould immed ately engage with the same tooth of the ratchet wheel from which the first had slipped as soon as the chet wheel had revolved through one half of the tooth pitch, This happens no matter which dog If it is the upper dog the lower one wheel comes around. If it is the lower dog that first engageathe upper will catch on the next tooth as it comes around sothere is no possibility of a slip getting away from both these dogs under any circumstances.
Assuming now that the clutch has been re eased and the load is carried by one of, the pawls, if the operator now try to with draw it it would be necessary for himto withdraw the operating bar to the right which acting through the'bell crank and lever connections would rotate the locking end of the interlocking lever downwardly against, the surfaces of the sliding rod and this cannot bedone until the clutch is thrust into engagement thus sliding the rod, to the leftuntil the notch in its upper surface is penetrated, bythe inner locking end of the lever.
