Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 15,836. Mahoney, J. N. July 29, 1909, [Convention date]. Electric braking.-A number of motors are connected in groups when acting as braking- generators. The armature of one motor is connected to the field of another motor in the same group, and an equalizing-connexion is arranged between the groups. Four interpole motors are controlled by a main controller, a braking-controller, and a brake switch. When the main controller is in its ' off ' position and the other switches are in their first 'on' positions, the circuits are arranged for braking as shown in Fig. 2. The armature 5 of the first motor is connected in series with its interpole winding 6, and with the field 11 of the third motor. The armature 15 of the third motor is connected to the field 21 of the first motor. The first and third motors form one group. The second and fourth motors form a similar group. The two groups supply current to the brake magnets 32, 33 through adjustable resistances. An equalizing-connexion runs from the junction of the interpole winding 16 and the field winding 21, to a similar point in the second group of motors. The brake magnets 32, 33 can be omitted, and the motors short-circuited by a resistance.

Abstract: 3161. Pruce, H. C. Feb. 8. Fastenings for doors.-Relates to locks for lavatories, of the type in which the door is opened by being pushed inwards or pulled outwards after the insertion of a coin. A counterweighted detent 9, Fig. 7, having been removed from engagement with a shoulder 10 on the bolt 1 by prepayment, the operator presses in or pulls open the door, the striking- plate 18 forcing back the bolt, the end of which is shaped as shown in Fig. 8. The detent 9 is prevented from re-engaging the bolt before the door is closed from within by means of a slide 20, which, when the door is opened, is moved in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 8, so as to remove the cut-away portion 27 from the path of the arm 25 of the detent. The slide 20 is operated against the action of a spring 24 by a lever 19, which is rocked by a second spring-controlled slide 14 having a bevelled nose 17 co-operating with the striking-plate 18. To open the door from within, the occupant turns a spindle 31 by means of an internal handle, whereupon followers 32 withdraw the slide -o, thereby freeing the detent 9 from the bolt owing to the engagement of the bevelled shoulders 28 with the arm 25; and, during the continued rotation of the spindle, followers 33 withdraw the bolt. The door may be opened from without by an attendant by means of a key, which is inserted in a keyhole 37 and serves to withdraw the slide 20. An ' engaged ' indicator is operated by a lever 40,' which cooperates with a slide 38 operated by the internal bolt. The attendant can withdraw the internal bolt fiom without by the key that is used to withdraw the slide 20. Coin action, weight; coin-discharging mechanism.-The inserted coin C falls on to the tail 11 of the detent 9 and tilts it so as to remove the arm 25 from engagement with the shoulder 10 on the bolt, and, being supported between depending members on the casing and bolt, falls to the till as the bolt is forced back.
