Title: Improvements in and relating to controllers for electric motors
IPC: B66C13/24
Filed: 1930-12-18
Abstract: 360,722. Master control of D.C. motors. HARWOOD, P. B. and NEWMAN, J. M., c/o Cutler Hammer, Inc., 12th Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A. Dec. 18, 1930, No. 38198. Convention date, Dec. 26, 1929. [Class 38 (iii).] Armature control; non-regenerative braking.- Resistance in a hoist motor circuit is varied during hoisting and lowering, by means having an inherently transient effect for delaying its operation. When a master switch MS, Fig. 2, is moved from its " off " to its fifth hoisting position, resistances R6.. R10, Fig. 3, in the armature circuit of a series motor M are excluded in turn, a delay action being introduced between the exclusion of each resistance by means of windings 13 .. 16, 19, wound in mutual inductive relation on a core 1. The inductive coils are wound to give fluxes in a direction indicated by arrows so that when one of the coils is shunted by its corresponding resistance short-circuiting switch, the direction of the flux in the core 1 is reversed, and a relatively large delay is obtained. With the master switch in the first lowering position, resistances R6 .. R10 are cut out and the motor field F is connected across the supply in series with a resistance R11 and a brake coil B1, the motor armature being connected across the field and the brake coil in series with a resistance R12. If the load overhauls in this position, dynamic braking ensues. To increase the lowering speed resistances R6 .. R10 are included in the dynamic braking circuit by moving the master switch to its fourth lowering position. In the fifth lowering position, the resistance R11 is excluded, and the resistances R9, R10 re-excluded. When slowing down during lowering, the master switch is returned to its " off " position, and resistances R6 .. R10 are re-included in the dynamic braking circuit, the induction coils 13 .. 16, 19 acting to cause a delay as in hoisting. During lowering operations, however, a coil 18 is connected to substantially saturate the core 1, so that no reversals of flux occur, and the delays are correspondingly less. With the master switch in the " off " position the brake coil B1 is de-energized, and switches 9, 10 are maintained opened by a switch 30 energized across the resistance 12. When the motor is nearly at rest the switch 30 opens, and the switches 9, 10 close under the control of the induction coils 15, 16.

A sealed relay, Fig. 1a, comprises a magnetic reed contact 4 normally engaging a partly magnetic or non-magnetic rigid contact 3 and movable, upon application of an external magnetic field, to engage a magnetic contact 2. The contact 2 is made somewhat resilient so that should the reed 4 be stuck to the contact 3 when the field is applied, the contact 2 deflects towards the reed to reduce the air gap and increase the magnetic force tendency to remove the reed from the contact 3. In a modification (Fig. 3, not shown) the member 2 does not extend outside the envelope 1 and function as a contact whereby a, simple normally-closed switch is formed. In a further example of change-over relay, Fig. 4, the rigid contact 6, reed contact 7 and the somewhat resilient contact 8 are all magnetic, application of the magnetic field causing the reed to leave contact 6 and engage contact 8.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the preparation of tailors' patterns
IPC: A41H1/00
Filed: 1957-12-27
Abstract: 855,101. Photographic processes. MULLER. N. Dec. 27, 1957 [Jan. 4, 1957], No. 40210/57. Classes 97(1) and 98(2) A method of manufacturing tailors patterns comprises projecting on to a screen an image of the person for whom the clothing is intended superposed on a measuring grid, projecting from a second projector an image of a person for whom a tailors pattern is available, adjusting the size and shape of the second image until it coincides with the first, projecting with the second projector in the same position an image of the available tailors pattern and obtaining therefore the desired tailors pattern. A person of standard dimensions is photographed in two positions (Fig. 4) to provide a double exposure with a background grid on a single photographic transparency and a pattern of the cut pieces of cloth with vertical and horizontal dimensions appropriately disposed which comprise the perfectly fitting suit for the standard person is reproduced on a photographic transparency on the same scale and background grid. The subject for whom a pattern is to be devised is photographed in the same manner as in Fig. 4 to provide a further transparency. The transparency of the standard person is inserted in a projector 16 (Fig. 7) mounted on a trolley 15 and slidable on rails 14, and the transparency of the subject is inserted on a second projector 12 mounted on a trolley 11 which carries a semi transparent mirror 13 at 45 degrees to both optical axes and is slidable on rails 10 perpendicular to the rails 14 such that both images appear simultaneously on a screen 17. The trolley 15 is then moved along the rails, and an anamorphotic lens on the objective of the projector 16 is adjusted until both images have the same overall length and width. The trolley 11 is then withdrawn and a third trolley 18 riding on the rails 10 and carrying a mirror 19 inclined at 45 degrees of the horizontal is moved into the position formerly occupied by the mirror 13 such that the image from 16 is reflected through holes in the trolley and in the floor of the room on to the surface of a table the distance of which from the projector 16 is equal to that of the screen 17. The transparency of the standard pattern (Fig. 5) is then exchanged for the standard person transparency in the projector 16 and the image appearing on the table surface is then a pattern distorted to suit the dimensions and shape of the subject - the outlines may be chalked on paper or reproduced photomechanically. Numerical examples are given as to the scaling. The projectors may be on either side of a semi-transparent screen, or side by side.
