Title: Improvements in and relating to High Voltage Continuous Current Dynamos.
Inventor: GIRVIN CHARLES WESLEY
IPC: H02K23/62
Filed: 1912-10-01
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 22,270. Girvin, C. W. Oct. 1. Commutators; windings; rotary transformers; dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-The stationary coils of a rotating-magnet open-coil armature are connected to subdivided rows of brushes bearing on a rotary commutator which adds their voltages and enables high-potential continuous currents to be generated or supplied to a motor. The developed connexions of a bipolar machine having sixteen coils are shown in Fig. 1, and those of four neighbouring coils in three successive commutator positions are shown in Figs. 5, 4, and 6, respectively. The open coils a, b, c, d .. are connected at each end to brushes 1, 2, 3, .. 8, which, in the form shown, are arranged in rows of eight parallel to the axis of the commutator which has a corresponding number of rows of segments. Two outer rows of segments S are also provided for brushes 33, 34, .. 40 having leads T1, T2, .. T5 for interconnecting the groups of coils and for leading current to or from the machine. The segments are so interconnected by links u and resistances r', r<2> that the voltages of the coils a, b, c .. are added, and the coils are bridged by the resistances during the short-circuit periods. The four coils a, b, c, d, Fig. 4, are shown with the coil d undergoing commutation, as in Fig. 1, namely, with the brushes 7, 8 connected by the resistance r<1> and the other coils sending current from T<2> to T'. Just before this position, the coils are as shown in Fig. 5; i.e., all carrying similarly-directed currents, and just afterwards they are as in Fig. 6, i.e., with the current in coil d reversed and its connexion between the brushes 34 and 6 reversed by the conductor u to maintain the voltage addition. The coils c, b, a are similarly short-circuited and reversed in succession. The commutator may be mounted on the magnet shaft or it may be driven separately. In the form shown in Fig. 15, the armature coils are divided into two groups connected to separate commutators 49 driven by sprocket chains 51 from the shaft of the magnet 50. The groups of coils may be connected to form separate generating circuits, or some may be supplied with motoring currents while others generate. Alternatively, some may be permanently connected together to give alternating-current. The conductors forming the individual coils may be interconnected in series or parallel to enable the voltage of the coil to be varied or to allow the speed of a motor to be controlled without resistance, and coil units separated by more than one polepitch may be connected together provided that their position is such as to give the correct addition of voltage.

Title: Improvements in Impulse Transmitters for Electrical Circuits.
Inventor: BRUCE WILLIAM MANSFIELD
IPC: H04M1/38
Filed: 1912-10-25
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 24,409. Bruce, W. M. Dec. 7, 1911, [Convention date]. Automatic exchange apparatus. - Relates to an impulse-transmitter for automatic telephone systems, applicable also for other purposes, in which the depression of any of a set of keys sets mechanism which transmits the proper number of impulses on release of the key, means being provided for locking all the keys, after the depression and release of one of them, till the circuit-breaker has completed its operation. When any key 24 is depressed, the inclined cam 29, Fig. 8, on it acts on the antifriction roller 28 on a projection of the disk 22 to rotate this and its spindle 7, the lower end of which is attached to one end of a spring 8 enclosed in the casing 9 to which the other end of the spring is attached. Fast on the spindle 7 is a ratchetwheel 10, engaging with which is a pawl carried bv a wheel 12 loose on the spindle 7, so arranged that during the depression of a key 24 the ratchet-wheel slips past the pawl, but on release of the key it carries the wheel 12 round with it. The wheel 12 forms part of a train of gearing operating the circuit-breaking springs and controlled by a centrifugal friction governor. The cams 29 of the keys have different inclinations, so as to give different movements to the disk 22, and all are provided with hooks 31 to prevent overthrow of the disk. On the return to the normal position, the parts are brought to rest by the engagement of an arm on the ratchet - wheel 10 with a projection on the governor spindle. Pivoted to the disk 22 are a pair of arms 39, 40, Fig. 1, held together by a spring 43 and embracing two pins 36, 42, one on the locking-disk 32, Fig. 8, which is provided with apertures 35 to allow the passage of the stems 23 of the keys, and the other on the disk 22. When the latter is moved by the depression of a key, the pin 42 carries the arm 39 with it as shown in Fig. 1; when the key rises, the spring 43 pulls the arm 40, moving the disk 32 to obstruct the passage of all the keys, which are thus locked till the disk 22 has returned to its normal position, when the arm 39 moves the pin 36 and arm 40 back to their normal positions. The locking disk is provided with an arm which is only removed from the path of a projection on the governor spindle when the locking disk moves, so preventing the impulse transmission from beginning until the key has been released.
