Title: Improved Means for Obtaining a Smooth Electromotive Force Curve in Alternate Current Dynamos.
Filed: 1908-06-09
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 12,390. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Kloss, M. June 9. Armatures; dynamos, alternating-current. - To produce a smooth wave of electromotive - force, the armature of an alternator is provided with a greater or smaller number of slots than that required to accommodate the winding, and the coils are so placed that there is a small phase difference between consecutive coils, whereby the higher harmonics for the whole winding mutually cancel out. Thus, a machine having a slots per pole and p pole pairs has 2 pa to y armature slots, y being the number of extra or deducted slots, which number must be indivisable by p. Fig. 1 shows the winding for a single-phase four-pole alternator having eight wound and four unwound slots per pole. In addition to the forty-eight normal slots, an additional empty slot is provided, as shown by the double circle, so as to produce a phase difference of a quarter of a slot width between the consecutive coils c, c', c<2>, c<3> and thereby cause the ripples in alternate coils to cancel out. A three-phase fourpole winding is also described having three slots per pole per phase. In addition to the thirty-six winding-slots, the armature has three extra blank slots symmetrically placed with regard to the winding-slots and so arranged that each is on the centre line of one coil of the respective phases. A portion of the slots and coils for a sixteenpole machine is shown in Fig 3, the three phases of which are formed by the coils a<1>, b<1>, a<2>, b<2>, and a<3> b<3>. There are six extra slots c', c<2>, c<3>, which allow the eight coils of each phase to be connected in series, or an alternative low-voltage arrangement of two paralleled groups of four coils in series per phase. Thus, the coils a' might be connected in series and be parallelled with the coils b<1> connected in series, the blank slots c<1>, c<1> falling on the centre lines of the uppermost coil a<1> and lowermost coil b<1> respectively, and the other phases being similarly connected.

Title: Improvements in the Casting of Metals.
Inventor: MONNOT JOHN FERREOL
Filed: 1908-10-02
Granted: 1909-10-04
Abstract: 20,788. Monnot, J. F. Oct. 2. Casting. - Compound or other ingots, which have hitherto been cast through a layer of flux or slag to remove gases and other impurities, are by this invention cast through a deep layer of such material. Copper, silver, and like metals and their alloys, different kinds of steel, and compound ingots of these metals may thus be cast. The metal may enter the mould from the top or through a riser. The different parts of a compound ingot may be cast successively or simultaneously on each side of a division plate which will unite with both metals, or one metal may be cast round a billet of another metal. A steel ingot with a coating of a more fusible metal such as copper retains a temperature high enough for rolling or drawing after the coating has solidified. Fig. 10 shows the invention applied to the casting of continuous ingots. The metal is poured through the flux in the heated receptacle 32, is admitted to the chilled mould 38, and depresses the piston 39. Billets are cut off by shears 48 and removed, the ingot being supported by plungers 47 until the piston is raised in contact with it. A suitable flux comprises water glass 60 per cent, borax 30-35 per cent, and fluor-spar 5-10 per cent. Specification No. 8913, A.D. 1906, is referred to.

Inventor: JENKINS CHARLES FRANCIS
IPC: B31B17/00
Filed: 1909-06-23
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 14,738. Jenkins, C. F. June 23. Cupping and the like.-Close-fitting ends of tubular containers having easily-crushable thin walls are made and fixed in position by the machine shown. The container bodies are held in semicylindrical holders projecting from the links of an endless belt, and are intermittently fed forwards. A suitable plunger cuts a hole 18, Fig. 3, in a paper strip, and then a hollow plunger 20 cuts out a disk 11 concentric with this hole. A plunger 21 then forces the disk through a forming-die 22 and into the mouth of the container 6. When it is desired to have the disk flush with the edge of the body with its flange inside, a plunger 26 forces it down through the body until it rests on the link 4. The plunger 26 is encircled by a sleeve 34, which moves with the plunger until it strikes the bottle body. The friction between the plunger and sleeve is adjusted by the band 35 and screw 36. When the plunger returns, the sleeve accompanies it until its head 37 meets the bearing 38, and the spring stop 39 engages the aperture 40. The second end of the container is made and inserted by a cutting- die 43 and plunger 44. If paraffined paper is used, the pressure exerted by the machine permanently seals the ends. Various forms of plungers and coacting mechanism may be used. The forming- die 50, Fig. 5, may be provided with guide-pins 51 and controlled by springs 52, while it is also provided with a bevelled undercut surface 53, which takes over the upper end of the body 6 and forms the same into a circle. Either a collapsible plunger or a solid plunger provided with perforations is used. In a modification, an unperforated solid plunger is employed, and bars 79, Fig. 12, are mounted to slide in ways in the die 50. The outer ends of these bars are provided with T-shaped slots engaging inclined guide-bars 80. As the die 50 descends, the bars 79 are moved to clear the recess 53, but as it ascends they move inwards and prevent the container from rising with the plunger. The movable die 50 may be replaced by fixed die 83, Fig. 18, in which case the container mouth is brought into circular shape by pivoted arms 84 connected with the plunger 74.
