Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Controlling Electric Motors.
Inventor: DEY HARRY EUGENE
IPC: H02P5/695
Filed: 1909-10-21
Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 24,208. Dey, H. E. Oct. 21. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power.-Relates to the control of two differentiallygeared motors which drive a common load a fixed distance, determined by the amount of disturbance of the equilibrium of their fields. The invention consists in employing an auxiliary motor to effect this disturbance, by rotating the casing of the primary or secondary rheostat. The auxiliary motor A<1>, connected between one main m and a ring v<3> in a switch V having five concentric-ring contacts v ... v<4>, drives, in the form shown, the casing C<11> of the equalizing rheostat. The equilibrium of the fields J, K is thus disturbed, and the sleeve H rotates and drives the load through gearing N. A train of worm gearing O, P, Q, R, S connects the sleeve with the arm r of the equalizing rheostat. The motor A<1> is controlled through the switch V, the ring contacts of which are interrupted by insulation shown in black, and are swept by arms w, w<1>. The brushes on the arm w engage contacts v, v<1>, and v<3> ; those on the arm w<1> engage contacts v<11> and v<4>. To cause the motor to rotate in one direction, push button 1 is depressed. The connexions being as shown, current passes from the main h through leads o, t, the field u to the ring v, thence through the arm w to the ring v<3>, which is connected to one terminal of the motor A<1>. To cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction, push button 2 is depressed, current passing through the reversed field u<1> to a ring v' and the arm w as before. The arms w, w<1> are connected together, and rotate by the sleeve H through worm gearing T. Assuming that the load has been moved out of its central position, the arm w<1> will be moved so that one of its brushes will rest on one of the halves of the ring v<11>. Each half is connected through one of the fields u, u<1> to the motor, the arrangement being such that the load is returned to its central position.

Water-chutes.-In a water-chute, the top deck and hauling-chains are dispensed with, and the car is raised from the loading-platform D, Figs. 7 and 8, and discharged on to the track by means of a tilting device C<1>, Fig. 7. The boat is floated into position on the tilting device, which is then raised slightly to bring it to the level of the platform D. During its descent, the framework B<2> of the device engages drags a, Fig. 8, which raise a door E<1> and turn a small counterbalanced platform A<2> into position for passengers to use it as a bridge by which to reach the boat. When the boat is loaded, the device is raised to the top of the chute, but is prevented from tilting by a detent controlled by a handle F<1>, Fig. 7. When the boat is at the top, the man in charge pushes the handle, and the weight of the boat causes the device to turn about its pivot and discharge the boat on to the chute. Counterweights D<5> prevent the rotation of the device from being too violent, and also restore the device to its former position and reset the detent. The boat, Fig. 12, has five seats, each resting at its centre on a rubber pad supported by a strengthening- framework L<1> running the length of the boat.
