Title: Improvements in or relating to Starting Devices for Electric Motors for use in connection with Automatic Organ Blowing Apparatus.
Inventor: TAYLOR JOHN HENRY
Filed: 1908-02-01
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 2295. Taylor, J. H. Feb. 1. . Switches.-The starting and stopping switch of an electric motor which operates the blowing- devices of an organ is controlled by pneumatic or other non-electric means from the console of the organ. A rheostat in the motor circuit is controlled by the air pressure produced by the blower, so as to cut out resistance gradually when the motor is started, and cut it in again instantly when the motor is stopped. ln the arrangement shown, the motor is started by pulling a stop H on the console 12 ; a bellows 13 is thereby compressed and expands a bellows 14, which rocks the lever 6 of a mercury switch 5 so as to close the motor circuit. The blower then supplies air to the organ and through a feeder 24 to a bellows 19, which gradually cuts out the resistance of rheostat 17 from the motor circuit, so as to speed up the motor. To stop the motor, the circuit is opened at the switch 5 by pushing back the stop 11 ; the blower ceases to act, and the fall of pressure in the feeder 24 collapses a purse 27, which opens an exhaust-port 25 in the bellows 19, so that this instantly deflates and cuts in the full rheostatresistance, ready for restarting. The port 25 should be larger than the feeder 24, to prevent the exhaust from the bellows 19 from returning through the feeder and expanding the purse 27 ; or, according to the Provisional Specification, a check valve may be provided at the end of the feeder 24 for the same purpose.
