Title: Improvements in Electric Motor Starting Switches.
Inventor: JOHNSON BERNARD CYRIL
IPC: H02P1/06
Filed: 1911-04-05
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 8515. Johnson, B. C. April 5. Controllers, actuating-mechanism for; controllers with underload release.-In a motor starter of the type in which the operating-handle is arranged concentrically with the contact arm, the handle is operatively connected to the contact arm by a clutch arranged to be controlled by a lever, the position of which is governed by an electro-magnet mounted on the base or on a fixed part of the switch. The operating- handle 1 and contact arm 2 are pivoted concentrically at 3. The contact arm 2 is biassed to the zero position by a spring, and is provided with a latch 7 normally pressed outwards by a spring 18 and into position to be engaged by a catch-lever 6 on the operating-handle. The lever 6 is normally held in engagement with the latch 7 by a lever 9 having an armature 11 operated by a no-load magnet 12. The lever 9 has two curved surfaces 13, 14 concentric with the pivot 3, and is provided with a notch 16. When the handle is moved into the ' off ' position, a projection 15 on the handle engages the surface 14, and moves the lever 9 into the position shown, with the armature 11 against the magnet 12, the curved surface 13 pressing the lever 6 into engagement with the latch 7 so that the parts are in the starting position. When the handle is moved over the first contacts, and before the projection 15 leaves the surface 14, the magnet 12 is energized and holds the lever 9 in position. On continuation of the movement of the handle over the contacts, the surface 13 holds the lever 6 in engagement with the latch 7; the handle is held in the ' full on ' position by the notch 16. On failure of current, the magnet 12 releases the lever 9 and so frees the lever 6, which is pressed out of engagement with the latch 7 by a spring; the contact arm is then returned to zero by a spring, and the parts are set again as shown. An overload coil 20 is provided to short-circuit the magnet 12. Instead of using the lever 9 to hold the contact arm in the ' full ' on ' position, a fixed plate may be provided having a series of notches adapted to be engaged by a pin on the operating-handle, so that, as long as the lever 9 is held by the magnet, the contact arm may be held on in any position.

Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 28,391. Bijur, J. Dec. 21, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-The field circuit of a generator includes two resistances shunted by two vibrating regulators, one of which is controlled by a current coil and the other by a voltage coil. The generator 1 is connected to the battery 13 and lamps 14 by mains 4, 5, and a switch 25 is provided to vary the connexions of the ammeter 12. A main switch 8 is included in the circuit, and is operated electromagnetically by series and shunt coils. The vibrating regulator 20, which controls the resistance 18, has a current coil 6, which pulls the arm against the action of a spring 21. The resistance 17, which may have a lower value than the resistance 18, is controlled by the regulator 22, which has a voltage coil 23. During the starting operation, the coil 24 closes the switch 8 and the generator commences to charge the battery. In the event of an overload, the coil 6 exercises an increased effect on its regulator arm, and the resistance 18 diminishes the field current. In a similar fashion, the regulator 22 acts to prevent excessive voltage. The voltage coil 23 is opposed by a few turns 7, which carry the generator current. Sparking at the regulator contacts is reduced by copper sleeves 19 on the field magnets and a resistance 16 shunted across the field windings. A contact 29 is fixed near the brush 2, so that the brush may be raised to permit the battery to energize the field coils and polarize the machine at the start.
