Patented June 10, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GEORGE H. GILMAN, OF GLAREMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE, ASSIGNOR TO SULLIVAN MACHINERY COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS HOISTING MECHANISM I Application filed October 22, 1919, serial My invention relates to hoisting mechanisms.

It has for its object to provide an improved pressure fluid actuated hoisting mechanism and one which is powerful in operation and" compact in form. A further object of my invention is to provide an improved hoisting mechanism having an improved-pressure fluid motor of the combined motor and speed reduction type which is adapted to be reversed and to enable reductions of widely varying degree to be obtained as desired. A still further object of my invention is to provide an improved and simplified pressure fluid actuated hoisting mechanism which is light, compact, and rugged, and adapted to use in varied relations as a winding drum or hoist, the same, however, being especially adapted to use as a mine hoist. These and 29 other objects and advantages of my improved construction will, however, hereinafter more fully appear.

In the accompanying drawings I have. shown for purposes ofillustration oneform which my invention may assume in practice, illustrating the same as applied to a winding drum or hoist such as a mine hoist.

In these drawings, Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a hoist em- 39 bodying my invention, certain parts being broken away or sectioned to facilitate illustration.

7 and8, showing the throttle valve in neutral position.

In this illustrative construction I have shown a winding drum 1, journaled on suitable bearings. 2. This drum is rotatable about a central shaft 3 which is in turn carried in suitable bearings 1, the parts being held in assembled relation by a clamping bolt 5 threaded into one end of the shaft at 6. The bearings 4 are carried by suitable arms 7,formed on any suitable support 8, herein in the form ofa trunnion adapted to be adjustably mounted and clamped as desired on a bar or otherwise, in the same general manner as a rock drill.

Disposed within the drum 1 and operative ly connected thereto in an improved manner, is my improved motor. The same is herein 'shown as enclosed within a suitable casing 9 arranged coaXially with the shaft 3 and retatable relative thereto on suitable bearings 10 disposed at opposite ends of the casing. As shown, this casing houses a plurality of sets of rotors, one set being rotatable about a fixed gear and carrying with-it the other set of rotors, which themselves rotate at a materially reduced speed a rotatable gear connected to the drum. Accordingly the construction is such that each set of rotors cooperates with the other, not only in the rotation of the drum but in producing the speed reduction desired. 7

Referring more particularly to the drawings, Figs. 2 to .41, it will be noted that a fixed gear 11 is disposed within one end of the casing 9 and suitably keyed to the shaft 3, as at 12. A plurality of smaller gears or rotors 13 having a smaller number of teeth than the gear 11 are arranged about the gear 11 in mesh with the same, the rotors 13 being snugly housed in suitable bosses on the casing 9. Each rotor 13 is herein suitably splined, as at 14:, to a suitable shaft 15 disposed longitudinally of the casing and journaled therein in suitable bearings 16 at oppo- 95 site ends of the casing. I-Iere, attention is also directed to the fact that the shafts 15 are provided at points substantially midway between, their ends with spacing flanges 17;

and that the same carry on the opposite side 10L of the flanges 17 from the gears 13, another set of rotor gears 18 having a larger number of teeth than the gears 13, and similarly splined, at 19, to the shafts. These gears 18 in turn mesh with an axially located rotatable gear 20 having a largernumberio'f teeth than thegears 11, 13, and 18. The-'gear20 is keyed, as at 21, to a sleeve shaft 22 rota-table on the shaft 3-. andherein aformedsintegralh. with an end member 23 0f the-drum 1,1whiclt end member is normally rigidly connected to the drum by screws 24.

We will next consider the motive fluid connections tolth'eirotorsr Here, it'will. bernoteda that pressure fluid, preferably laden with lubricant; is supplied to the'device fronra suitable line 25 through a throttle val've 261- This valve 26"is int'turacontrolledbye-usual controlhandl-e "27; andiherein has .'.a central I chamber 28adapted to supplyunoti-ve fluid from the line alternatively througl'r'eitherof superimposed *ports '29 to-the "corresponding" ; passages 30 or 31 disposed longitudinally of the sh aft'3. The .valveis also providd with a pair: of "'superiiiiposed Zperipheral' "passages or-ports 32:adaptedhlternatively'to establish" communicati'ombetweenithepassages 3O or31. and a downwardly"disposedexhaust portor= passage 33fdrm'ediri the valve .casing: Thus it will also be noted that thexva'lve'is made reversible iandadapted, whenits "handle is in the "position Al-illustrated 'in' Figs: 7 and" Sto supply fluid to the passage "30 'and'receive ex; haust"fr om the passage31, while-when init's' 35 position B illustrated in' those figuresit is adaptedto supply fluid tothe passage 3 l-and receive exhaust from the passage -30,"neither passage receivingm'otive fluid whenthexvalve' is in its intermediate 'or'neutral positioniC illustrated. VV'e twill firstconsiderthe 'p res-' sure fluid connections when" 'fiuidis supplied through the passage 30; Here, it .will' 'be ob served Figsr5 and 6) that the fluid enteringf through" the passage :80 passes .out through ports '35 communicating with the passage "30,

into a n" annular passage '36 formed "in"on'e 'of" the bearings 10 of the 'casin'g 9,"an'd that from this annular. passage? the pressure" fluid is. supplied ith rough ports or passages 3710' -Iongitudinallywlisposed 'passages 38: These-e passages '38 are formed -in those portions of" the casing 9 which are adj acentthe teethofthe gears 11 and 20." As the setsof .rotors 13, 18, are both mounted on'the shafts 15, each 13 and a rotor-18; and "is adapted to "supply: motive fluid' through distributing ports 39' thereto at 'a'plurality; of points along: their le'ngthand substantially opposite their. line no of mesh with their" cooperatinggstationary;

" teri'or; which iirturn communicates with the atmosphere through exhaust ports 41 formed in the drum end 28. Here it will also be noted that the exhaust from the gears 11 and 20 passes out through ports and passages 42, 13,

corresponding to the ports and passages 39,

passages 38, while when'the valveis'indt-s neutral position (Fig; 9) no air-will flowto the 'motor.

Inth'eoperationof my improved construe tion, it will 'be observed that, when'motive fluidis'admitted through the passages 38 and ports-39or through the passages4-3 and ports 42*,the gears 13 will be caused to rotate about theiraXes-and bodily about the fixed gearill,

thereby producing a rotation ofthecasing-Qlf At'the same time it will be noted that-air'is also: admitted through the ports" 39"-to thegears-18. These gears, as they thusbodily rotate W-Ith'the casing, are also caused to rotateabouttheir own axes; and due to the dif ferencein the number of teeth on the various gears the rotatablegearQO and the connecteddrum l-are driven in a direction opposite to: the direction of rotationof the casing and'at amateriallyreduced speed. The reductionin speed isdependent upon the nun'iber'ofteeth employed in the different sets of gearsand the-arrangementof the gears. For example, it has been found possible in my present con'-' struction, by merely varying the gears, i.:,e. using gears having different-numbers of teeth, to produce' twelve different speeds and' a re'- ductionvarying from lO'to 1 to 174 to 1, while utilizing the same casing; and it will, of

course, be understood that'by the use of casings'of different sizes even further variations may be obtained within the'same drum". Here 7 attention'is also directed to the fzictthatit has been discovered that by interchanging the setsof'gears, as, fo1"instance,-by inter-.

changing gear ll'with gear 20 and the gears"- 13 with gears 18, it is possible to obtain'a reversal of rotation. It has also been found that by simply throwing the controlhandle 27 into its neutral position" it is possible to lock the drum inan'y desired position, this arising from the fact that the reduction is so great that the-reduction mechanism acts substantially as does a Worm and worm gear, todock the parts in-any desired position. Due to'this self-lockinggfeature there is nonecessity for theuse of additional braking mechanism.

Asa result of improved construction wherein the entire mechanism is carried within the drum, it will be obser'vedthat avery light, powerful, and compact mechanism is produced, and one which, while adapted to use in other relations, is especially adapted touse as a winding drum or hoist.

More specifically, it has been found that through my improved construction it has been possible to reduce by substantially fifty per cent, the weight of a winding mechanism fact that in .my improved construction;

whereinit is possible to vary the number of speeds obtainable, I am thereby'enabled to meet various conditions encountered in practice, with great facility. These and other advantages of my improved construction will, however, be clearly apparent to those skilled in the art.

IVhile I have in this application spec-iii cally described one form which my invention may assume in practice, it will be understood that this form is shown for illustrative pur poses and that the invention may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit or the scope of the appended claims. 7
