Title: Improvements in and relating to the Control of Electrically Operated Switches.
IPC: H02P1/34
Filed: 1911-03-16
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 6663. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 16. Master control systems.-In the system of motor - control wherein auxiliary contactors 16 co-operate mechanically with the e main contactors 1, 2, 3, 4, as described in Specifications 4697/10 and 4811/10, an extra contactor 20 with no main contacts is provided as the first of the series, and the actuating-coils 22, 23, 24 and 25, 26, respectively, are arranged in separate circuits energized alternately from the leads l. Wires 47, 48, which carry current to these circuits, are connected, as shown, to diametrically opposite contacts 30, 32 and 31, 33. respectively, of a switch, the arm 34 of which is rotated in steps of 90 degrees by a coil 37. The core of the coil has a spring-reset plunger 38, and makes and breaks its own circuit at contacts 44. At starting, the voltage coil P is energized and slowly moves against a dash-pot 50 to close the master contacts in the actuating- circuits. Current thus passes to a wire 49 and the arm 34. In the particular position shown, the wire 48 is live and both coils 20, 22 are energized, so that, although the contactor 22<1> is not mechanically supported, it is held up by the coil. Assuming that excess current conditions do not hold, the contacts of the series relay O will be closed, and the coil 37 will rotate the arm 34 through 90 degrees. The wire 48 is thus de-energized and the wire 47 is energized. The consequent closing of the auxiliary contacts on the contactor 22<1> completes the circuit of the coil 13 from the wire 53 to wires 55, 56. The contactor thereupon closes, but the mechanicallyreleased contactor 16 is supported by the now energized coil 25. The alternate energization of the main and auxiliary coils of the contactors proceeds in this way until a contactor 5 shortcircuits all the resistance, and, by breaking the circuit of the coil 37 at contacts 52, prevents the further actuation of the switch arm 34.

Abstract: 4683. Soennecken, F., [Firm of]. April 26, 1911, [Convention date]. Roller copying-presses; stopping, starting, and like arrangements.-The mechanism requiring to be operated intermittently, for example the feed device for the documents, the severing- device for the copying - strip, the device for printing the notice ' copied,' &c., is automatically controlled from the document or from the copying-strip, which acts to throw the required mechanism into gear at the required intervals. The documents p, fed over a table t, pass together with the copying-strip s between the press rolls c, d, the strip then passing the severing-blade u<1> actuated by a crank disk u. A pivoted feeler a rests on the document where it passes over a gap t<1> in the table, and is thus supported with the lug e in the path of a lug f on a frictionally driven disk g gearing by a band with the disk u. When the document passes clear of the feeler, this falls and releases the disk g, which then rotates, causing a wiper h<1> carried by a spring h to feed the next document, driving the cutter disk u, and, by means of a catch i thereon engaging the lug e, raising the feeler to re-engage the lug f when the disk has completed a revolution. In a modification, the feeler consists of electric contacts which, when a document passes clear complete a circuit through an electro - magnet to withdraw a pivoted armature out of engagement with a frictionally driven disk. In another modification, the feeler consists of a pivoted spring- controlled bell-crank bearing on the document opposite a groove in a guide roller behind the press rolls and also engaging a lug in a frictionally driven disk. When the document passes clear, the feeler rises into the groove and releases the friction disk, a cam on which returns the feeler into locking engagement. In another modification, the feeler, comprising an electric contact, bears on the copying-strip, which is perforated at required intervals to permit a circuit to be completed for releasing a frictionally driven disk, which intermittent actuation of the required mechanism is affected as before.

Abstract: 14,396. Haworth, H. F., and Thomas Transmission, Ltd. June 20. Systems depending on the use of two or more machines; equalizing load on generator.-Two series-wound machines 1, 2 are driven from the same source, and the armature 1, connected in series with the fields 3, 4 of both machines, is connected to the external supply mains in parallel with the armature 2. The machine 1 generates a higher voltage than the machine 2, and when there is no external load, a current circulates in the circuit formed by the two machines. The machine 2 runs as a motor and returns energy to the shaft 5. As the external load comes on, the current through the machine 2 diminishes and reverses, whereupon the two machines begin to share the load. The current circulating at no load may be varied by a diverter rheostat across one or both fields 3, 4, or by a battery across the field 3. The machine 1 may be replaced by a group of machines connected in series or parallel, and the machine 2 by another group. Series motors on a tramcar &c. may be connected in the same way for regenerative braking.
