Title: Improvements in Winding Methods for Rotating Magnet Coils.
IPC: H01F41/04
Filed: 1912-02-16
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 3919. " Vutkan " Maschinenfabriks Akt.-Ges. Feb. 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Coils.-The wires a, Figs. 1 and 3, in some or all of the winding layers of rotating magnets having coils concentric with the shaft are coiled about bars b or the like of flat cross-section, the spaces left by the wires being occupied by wedges g, h, which compress the winding within the housing c. The bars b may be permanently or detachable mounted in the housing or magnet body, and, for large coils, depressions f may be provided in the walls d of the housing opposite to the contiguous bars b. The wedges g fit into apertures in the housing or magnet body and exert a driving action upon the winding. Both the bars b and the wedges may be hollow for the passage of cooling air. The bars bare secured in position by fitting them in recesses in transverse strips k secured to the sides of the housing. Bars lying in parallel planes may be connected at their inner ends by means of crosspieces. The housing containing the winding is yieldingly mounted in the magnet body m, Fig. 8, by means of bolts o entering perforated wedge-shaped heads p projecting from the inner periphery of the housing. The sides of the winding recess or housing are tapered, as shown in Fig. 3, so that, as the winding heats up, the resulting expansion causes it to be more strongly compressed.

Abstract: 8379. Boudreaux, L., and Dondelinger, F. April 2, 1913, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Movable-abutment type.-In a rotary engine of the geared-vane type comprising vanes or pistons, Fig. 8, which are arranged to reciprocate in rotating annular cylinders b, a, the driving-gear for the pistons consists of a twoarmed lever e pivoted at the point f to the cylinder element and connected at one end g to the arm connecting the pistons, and at the other end to the strap surrounding an eccentric, which by a differential gear 12 is made to rotate at a different speed from the cylinders a, b. A complete working cycle in each cylinder may thus continue during more or less than one revolution of the cylinders. The cylinders may be straight and tangential instead of curved, the arm connecting the pistons being suitably jointed. The number of cylinders may be varied and sets of cylinders may be arranged in different planes of operation. The Specification describes also rotary engines which are stated to be modifications of the engine described in Specification 26931/13. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the piston vanes l, o are given their alternate fast and slow motion relative to the heads t of the rotating cylinders a, b by a link e, pivoted at one end g to the piston element and at the other end f to the cylinder element, and slotted so as to be engaged by a rotating crank-pin w. A conduit 10 connects opposite working chambers. Fig. 6 shows a driving-gear similar to that shown in Fig. 8, but operating about a fixed crank-pin; the faces of the pistons and cylinder heads are non- radial. The pistons may be connected to the driving arms by ball-and-socket joints enabling them to take any direction in the cylinder. Fig. 7 shows a further modification. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the cylinders a, b have straight axes, and each piston is connected by a double lever e to a fixed crank-pin w.

Books and paper and like toys.-A piece of porous paper or like material is provided with patches of aniline or other colours and is cut to form tongues or the like which, when dipped into water, cause the colours to run in substantially definite directions and produce designs for advertising, amusement, or other purposes. The paper, which is white or tinted, may be cut so as to resemble a butterfly, or may be in disk or other form. In the butterfly form, a ring of colours a and two colour spots b are shown. Within the ring, the tongues are stamped out so that the colours of the ring spread outwards over the wings when wet. A fast design may also be printed on the paper, and wording may be printed under the colours so as to be either visible or invisible before the colours run. The flow of the colours may be limited or directed by previously impregnating or treating certain parts of the paper with grease paint, or by embossing or pressing a design, which may be invisible before wetting. A number of such prepared sheets may be bound into a book, with or without perforations for facilitating detachment.

Filed: 1914-07-20
Abstract: 17,175. M÷ller, E. July 22, 1913, [Convention date]. Electrostatic separators.-The electric separation of suspended bodies from insulating-fluids is effected by charging the ionizing-electrodes with negative electricity and using a higher potential-difference than would be possible if the ionizing-electrode were charged with positive electricity, while avoiding a disruptive discharge. The adjustment of the potential may be effected by using a protective spark-gap which is arranged so as just to prevent sparking between the separating-electrodes. The ionizing-electrode is first charged with positive electricity, and the protective device is adjusted; then the ionizing-electrode is charged with negative electricity, and the protective device is again adjusted to allow of the higher potentialdifference being used.
