Abstract:
A FABRIC TREATING MACHINE OF THE TUMBLE-TYPE, INCLUDING A FABRIC CONTAINER DISPOSED AT AN ANGLE TO THE VERTICAL AND A HYDRAULIC TRANSMISSION FOR DRIVING THE FABRIC CONTAINER. THE FABRIC CONTAINER IS CONNECTED TO THE PUMP HOUSING ELEMENT AND DUAL RANGE FLOW RESTRICTING MEANS RESTRICT THE PUMP OUTPUT IN EITHER A LOW SPEED OR HIGH SPEED SETTING TO INUCE ROTATION OF THE PUMP HOUSING ELEMENT AND THE CLOTHES CONTAINER ATTACHED THERETO. SPEED CONTROL MEANS ARE INCORPORATED IN THE TRANSMISSION AND OPERATE TO SELECTIVELY VARY THE CONTAINER SEED WITHIN PREDETERMINED LIMITS FOR BOTH LOW AND HIGH SEED SETTINGS.

SPEED CONTROL MEANS AND DUAL RANGE FLOW CONTROL MEANS ARE INCORPORATED IN THE TRANSMISSION AND OPERATE TO SELECTIVELY VARY THE CONTAINER SPEED WITHIN PREDETERMINED SETTINGS FOR BOTH A LOW SPEED "TUMBLE" RANGE OF OPERATION AND HIGH SPEED CENTRIFUGAL-EXTRACTION RANGE OF OPERATION.
Abstract:
1,177,552. Hydrodynamic brake. BORGWARNER CORP 18 May, 1967 [29 June. 1966], No. 23212/67. Heading F2E. A fluid motor 17, driven by a pump 15 supplying, fluid through a line 27, is braked by connecting in its fluid exhaust line 28 a variable restriction, comprising ball and spring 54, 55 and a seat 52, which provides a constant retarding force. Pressure in line 27 is applied also to an inlet port 64 of a valve 19 containing the variable restriction assembly so that the piston 44 is moved to the right until the reduced diameter section 45 connects the inlet port 63 receiving the motor exhaust fluid to an exhaust port 29. The motor 17 is then free to be driven by the inlet fluid at 20 from line 27, and to drive, for example, the cage 10 of a washing machine. Stopping of the pump 15 causes the piston to move to the left, and the motor 17 to be braked as stated, the exhaust fluid then leaving the valve 19 through port 29. Reversal of the pump 15 supplies pressure on line 26 to operate a locking device 18 to prevent any rotation of the motor 17, and also drives a further member 16 which may be the agitator of the washing machine.
Abstract:
A FABRIC-TREATING MACHINE OF THE TUMBLE-TYPE INCLUDING A FABRIC CONTAINER DISPOSED AT AN ANGLE TO THE VERTICAL AND A HYDRAULIC TRANSMISSION FOR DRIVING THE FABRIC CONTAINER. THE HYDRAULIC TRANSMISSION INCLUDES A REVERSIBLE POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT HYDRAULIC PUMP OPERABLE IN ONE DIRECTION OF ROTATION TO DRIVE A HYDRAULIC MOTOR WHICH IN TURN ROTATES THE FABRIC CONTAINER FOR A RELATIVELY LOW SPEED TUMBLE OR WASHING OPERATION, THE PUMP BEING OPERATIVE IN ANOTHER DIRECTION OF ROTATION TO ROTATE THE FABRIC CONTAINER THROUGH THE PUMP HOUSING ELEMENT FOR A RELATIVELY HIGH SPEED CENTRIFUGAL EXTRACTION OPERATION.
Abstract:
A hydraulic transmission for use in a fabric-treating machine incorporating a temperature sensitive valve in communication with the outlet of a hydraulic pump, the valve defining a variable size flow passage which decreases in size as the temperature of the hydraulic fluid increases thereby compensating for the increase of pump leakage with rising fluid temperatures and resulting in maintaining a constant speed of the output member driven by the hydraulic pump despite varying fluid temperatures.
