Title: Improvements in the Speed Regulation of Polyphase Series Motors.
IPC: H02K27/14
Filed: 1911-06-10
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 13,877. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. June 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Alternating-current commutator machines.- In three-phase commutator series motors, the speed of which is regulated by a displacement of the brushes and by a change in the ratio between the effective ampere-turns on the rotor and stator, the said ratio is made equal to or greater than unity for small displacements of the brushes from the " short - circuit " position (i.e. the position in which the ampereturns in the stator and rotor mutually compensate), but when the said displacement is large, the ratio is made less than unity. Good phasecompensation and stable working are thereby obtained throughout a wide range of speed. The change in the transformation ratio may be obtained by the use of a variable-ratio transformer w1, w2 interposed between the stator windings wst and the rotor wr, or by changing the effective numbers of turns of the stator or rotor windings. The last-mentioned arrangement may be effected by the employment of a double brush-set a, a', Fig. 6, in each phase; the rotation in common of both brushsets changes the angle of brush displacement while a relative displacement of the two sets changes the transformation ratio; b, b<1> represents the position of the brushes for some working position, a being the angle of brush displacement and # the angle determining the transformation ratio. Both brushes of each phase may be connected to the secondary phasewindings of a transformer. One set of brushes for each phase may be movable and the other set may remain near the short-circuit position; or one brush set may be moved by hand to regulate the speed while the other set may be adjusted automatically according to the speed, current strength, rotor voltage &c. Formulµ are given in the Specification for determining the brush - displacements and corresponding transformation ratios; for example, the transformation ratio may be regulated proportionally to cos a.

Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 17,906. Wakefield, C. C. Aug. 5. Connecting fixed lubricators with moving apparatus.-A fixed lubricator is connected to a cylinder and piston, which both move relatively to the lubricator, as in an ore-crushing machine, by a telescopic conduit, and lubricant is sucked into the cylinder through a non-return valve. The lubricant from a chamber C passes along a pipe F and enters axially an oscillating trunnion G. A pipe H, sliding telescopically at one end in an arm G<2> of the trunnion, enters a gland J at the other end and conveys the lubricant to the cylinder B. The cylinder B and piston A form a cushioning-device for the stem of an ore crusher, and the motion of the piston sucks the lubricant through a non- return valve in the gland J. A sight-feed device E of the kind described in Specification 1374/11 is placed in the lubricant circuit, and one or more similar devices E' may be used so that one reservoir C may supply several ore-crushers.

Abstract: 21,772. Quain, J. R. Oct. 3. Theft and burglar alarms.-An electric alarm for cash-boxes and the like, also applicable to windows &c., comprises a flexible contact-closing member which is caused to vibrate when its support is moved. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a spiral spring e is fixed at one end f, and at the other end carries a weight surrounded by a cylindrical contact-piece d, the circuit being momentarily closed at d and e when the box is moved. The ringing is rendered continuous by means of a trip device which is normally detained against the action of the spring o by a pin q on the bell-armature c, but on the first stroke of the bell is released and rotated so as permanently to close the alarm by way of the contact n. The apparatus may be rendered inoperative by moving the switch g from the contact i to the insulated stop h, the trip-device j being thus reset by the thrust of the spring o. Alternatively, the bell and battery may be situated at a distance from the box; or the armature c may be used to start a mechanical alarm.

Granted: 1913-04-07
Abstract: 430. Strachan, R. P., and Strachan & Henshaw. Jan. 5. Electrically operated and controlled by vehicle; operating-mechanism applicable generally.-Telpher track points or switches are operated by an intermittently moving crank device, eccentric, or equivalent, driven in one direction only by an electric motor, means being provided for automatically breaking the motor circuit at or near the end of the point or switch stroke. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the motor a operates the point tongues B<2>, C? through a worm and worm-wheel and crank b, and is supplied with current from the telpher machines through conductors c, d, e, f. Protective devices, as described in Specification 190/12, [Class 104(iii), Railways &c., Electric], may be arranged in the portions of the track between the points and the conductors c, d, e, f. Mounted on the same shaft as the worm-wheel q are a pair of conducting contact disks m, m<1> having each a pair of wipers or brushes, one set of which engage their peripheries. Insulating-material k, k<1> is let into a portion of their peripheries as shown, whereby the active circuit of the motor is broken at the end of each operation or half-revolution and the other circuit closed ready for the reverse operation of the point. In lieu of a worm and worm-wheel any other speed-reducing gear may be used and the motor may be supplied with current from a signal cabin or station platform. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the current supplied from the telpher machine, cabin, or platform, is used to energize a solenoid 15 which closes, through contacts 17, the circuit of the point motor a. Simultaneous with the movement of the points, a slide bar 18 passes beneath the switch-arm 16, thus holding the motor circuit closed until the completion of the movement even if the solenoid becomes de-energized. The arm 16 also acts as a lock to the points by acting directly on the bar 18 and also by operating the bolt 20 which engages the ends of the point tongues. In a further modification, the switch-arm 16 is operated mechanically through chains or ropes. Fig. 9 shows another modification in which the connecting-rod p of the crank is attached to a double oscillating quadrant 45 connected by chains or ropes to the track switch.
