Abstract: 25,855. Teagle, F. H. Nov. 11. Inductor-alternators; magneto-electric machines.-In an ignition magneto, the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet is distributed first through and then outside a winding having a spark-gap so as to increase and decrease the flux linking through the winding, the circuit through the winding is opened and closed in definite time-relation to this flux distribution, the flux distribution is advanced and retarded simultaneously with the opening and closing of the circuit, and the path of least reluctance through the winding is maintained in the same electro-magnetic relation to the poles of the permanent magnet for all positions of spark adjustment. The total magnetic reluctance of the magnetic circuit is maintained substantially constant, and the maximum, minimum, and average values of the time-constant of the winding while the circuit is closed is kept. the same for all adjustments of circuit making and breaking. The permanent-magnet system 1 is provided with an oscillatable pole-piece 2 having an unwound limb 2<1> and also a limb 2<a> carrying a winding 3, which is closed and opened by a contact-breaker 5 carried on the movable pole. The flux distributor 4 has two sections 4<1>, 4<a> arranged at right-angles to one another so as to shunt the flux first through the wound limb, as shown by the full arrow-headed line, and then through the unwound limb, as shown by the dotted line. As the spark is advanced or retarded, the movable limbs 2<1>, 2<a> are also correspondingly moved, and the circuit-breaker 5 is arranged to close and open during a decrease in the flux through the wound limb. Means, such as the battery 11, may be provided to supply the winding with a current from an external source. Specification 21,590/14 is referred to.
