HOlSTlNG MECHANISM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 788,606, dated May 2, 1905,
Application filed December 10, 1904. Serial No. 236,309.
To all whom it ran/y concern.-
Be it known that we, ROBERT F. SCOTT and PETER MULLEN, citizens of the United States, and residents of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Hoisting Mechanism, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has as its leading object the production of an improved hoist that is simple, compact, and durable in construction, having parts that are readily constructed, assembled, and dissociated, and providing, movements that are simple, efficient, and low in the frictional resistance to be overcome in doing the work.
The nature and characteristic features of our improvements will more fully appear by reference to the following description and the accompanying drawings, in illustration thereof, of which Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view taken through the axis of a hoist made in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of part of the hand chain-wheel or power-sheave and connections therefor. Fig. 3 represents a side elevation of the mechanism with a casing member removed and a spur-wheel broken to show the gear-train, and Fig. 4 represents a side elevation of the mechanism with parts broken away to show the clutching-gears and parts coacting therewith.
As shown in the drawings, the frame members 1 and 2 have j ournaled in the bearings 1 and 2 thereof the swivel-block 3, which engages the hook 41 to provide a support for the mechanism.
The load-sheave 5 has the hubs 6 and 7 projecting therefrom journaled in the respective bearings 8 and 9 of the frame members. On the hub 6, which extends through the bearing 8, is sleeved a spur-wheel 10, which.
. is fixed to the hub and sheave by the key 1 1.
In gear with the spur-wheel 10 are the pin ions 12, which are ournaled on the spindles 13. The spindles 13 have their inner ends supported in the bearings 14 of the frame member 1 and their outer ends in bearings 15 of a casing member 16, which coacts with the frame member 1 to incase the gear-train. Fixed to the pinions 12 and revolving therewith on the spindles 13 are the spur-Wheels .17, which are in gear with the pinion 18, fixed by a key 19 on the shaft 20.
The shaft 20 passes through and is journaled in the load-sheave 5 ancf the hubs 6 and 7, fixed thereto, the end of the shaft adjacent to the gear-train. being journalcd in the hearing 21 of the casing member 16. The opposite end of the shaft 20 extends through the casing member 22, which is fixed to the frame member 2 to inease and support the clutching mechanism. Within the casing member 22 is the frictional clutching-disk 23, having a sleeve 24], which is fixed to the shaft 20 by the key 25, the sleeve extending on the shaft through the casing member. Journaled on the sleeve 24 is a clutch-wheel comprising a hub 26, which extends through and is ournaled in the bearing 27 of the casing member, and a disk 28, which frictionally engages or clutches the disk 23 through the leather 29. On the sleeve 24 is a worm 30, which engages the hub 31 of the power-sheave 32, operated by the hand-chain 32. the power-sheave inwardly 011 the worm jams its hub 31 against the clutch-wheel hub 26, forces the disks 23 and 28 into frictional engagement through the leather 29, and thus clutches the power-sheave 32 to the shaft 20. To limit the movement of the power-sheave in the opposite direction, a stop 33 is properly, set on the shaft 20, being fitted to the squared bearing 20' thereof, the sheave hav ing a pin or boss 34 fixed thereto, which is adapted to be engaged by the lug 35of the stop. The periphery of the clutch-wheel, within which lies the clutch-disk 23, has thereon the teeth 37, which. engage with the teeth 38 on a pinion 39, the respective teeth being so inclined and. formed that they run together freely in revolving in the directions of the arrows thereon and interlock in the re- The movement of verse action to prevent revolution in the op posite directions. The pinion 39 is journaled on a bearing 40, carried by an arm 41, the arm having a hub 42, which is journaled on the extended bearing 9. The arm has a limited rocking movement, its outer part 43 making contact with a shoulder or stop 44, formed in the frame member 2 when the clutching-gears are moving in the direction of the arrows, and when interlocked by the reverse action the pinion 39 is carried into engagement with the stop or dog 45, fixed to the frame member. As the dog is constructed so as to engage the respective teeth 38, when so engaged the pinion 39 is thereby held against rotation reversely to the direction of the arrow thereon and the strain is relieved between the point of the tooth 37 and the crown of the tooth 38,which engage the gears in interlocking relation.
In hoisting, the hand-chain 32 is drawn down to revolve the power-sheave 32 inwardly on the worm 30, causing the hub 31 to jam the hub 26 and the disk 28 to clutch the disk 23, whereby the power-sheave is fixed to the shaft 20 and the latter revolved. The revolution of the shaft 20 and the pinion 18, fixed thereon, revolves the spur-wheels 17 and the pinions 12, the latter revolving the spurwheel 10 and the sheave 5 to lift the load carried by the chain 5. Upon withdrawing the power from the hand-chain 32 the load on the chain 5 acts to revolve the load-sheave, the gear-train, and the shaft in the reverse direction, whereby the screw 30 acts to draw the power-wheel hub 31 against the clutch-wheelhub 26 and hold the disks 23 and 28 in frictional engagement. As the clutch-wheel is held by the interlocking of its teeth 37 with the teeth 38 of the clutch-pinion, the load is held stationary until elevated in the manner already described or lowered by revolving the'power-wheel outwardly on the worm, so as to relieve the pressure between the friction-disks and permit the load to run down. The rate of lowering of the load is regulated to the speed of the power sheave by the action of the load in feeding the screw through the sheave to tighten the clutching-disks, and the reversal of the powersheave, so as to drop or too rapidlylower the load, is prevented by the limiting action due to the engagement of the boss 34 with the lug 35.
