Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Controllers.
Inventor: SILL RICHARD VAN RENSSELAER
IPC: H02P7/298
Filed: 1909-04-20
Granted: 1910-04-20
Abstract: 9349. Sill, R. van R. April 20. Windings.-A sectionally wound pilot motor mounted on a motor-controller spindle drives the controller, and the sections of the motor armature are energized consecutively by a master switch. In the arrangement shown, the sections 9 of the pilot-motor armature are mounted on the main controller-drum 4, and rotate the drum under the influence of their own magnetism and that of a fixed field 15 and a variable field 17 in series with the armature of the motor to be controlled. The sections 9 are energized consecutively by a master switch 10, three being-energized together, and are drawn round step by step so long as the field 15 preponderates. On the occurrence of overload, the field 17, becoming equal to, or stronger than, the field 15, locks the pilot motor against rotation, or causes a reversal, the energized coils of the pilot motor tending to centre along the line of the field 17 instead of along the field 15.

Abstract: 18,088. James, R. W., [Compagnie GÚnÚrale de Phonographes, Cinematographes, et Appareils de PrÚcision]. July 29. Kinematograph apparatus.-A mechanical device for use when taking kinematographic pictures, for obtaining the effect of one series of pictures dissolving into another, comprises a cog-wheel 3 on a shaft 4 which can be made to mesh when required with the constantly rotating endless screw 1, and a cam 5 slidable axially on the same shaft 4.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Matrix Setting and Type Line Casting Machines.
IPC: B41B11/18
Filed: 1910-05-23
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 20,959. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. May 23. Distributing matrices.-Relates to devices for levelling matrices which have been set at two levels, of the kind wherein an inclined guide engages the matrices as they pass from the casting-carriage to the intermediate channel. In the device shown in Fig. 1, the channel 37, which receives the lifting-bar 38, is provided at the entrance with an inclined guide-throat 39 arranged so that matrices leaving the casting- carriage 36 at the higher and the lower levels are respectively depressed and raised to a common level by engaging the guide-throat. The wear of the matrices is thus reduced, as the slope of the guide is only half that required when the levelling movement is confined to one set of matrices. A guide 40, which engages the top lugs of the bottom matrices, may be provided to assist the bottom guides 39. The advancing matrices are guided by a loose head 41, Fig. 2, on the lifting-bar. The head is mounted by pins in slots 42 and normally rests in the lower position, so that the advancing matrix engages the head sooner than would be the case if the lifting-bar were in one piece. The matrix, in advancing, raises the head 41. The matrices are .prevented from turning over by means of rounded blocks 44, Fig. 3, which are secured to springs 43, and are adapted to seize the side edges of the matrices. In the device shown in Fig. 5, means are provided for moving the lifting-bar 38 to the right in its descent, so as to leave a larger clearance with regard to the casting-carriage, the increased clearance being utilized to give a smaller gradient to the inclines. The lifting-bar is pivoted with sliding freedom on a pin 45 secured to the operating- lever. The bar is provided with a projection 51, which, in the descent of the bar, engages a cam face 50 on a fixed stop 49, and forces the bar to the right. The bar 48 is returned by a spring 46, which is arranged between a boss 48 on the operating-lever and a boss 47 on the bar.

Abstract: 715. Easthope, A., and Easthope, F. Jan. 11. Transformers. - In a machine for winding wire and insulating-material into electric coils, a continuouslyrotating driven feed-roller is provided with means for bringing it into contact with the insulating-material intermittently so as to feed the material forward at intervals. The horizontal main driving- shaft 1 carries the spools 2 to be wound, and beside it is arranged the shaft 5 carrying the wire guide-pulleys 8, and which is moved to and fro by a heart-shaped cam 4 carried at the bottom of a vertical shaft 3, itself revolved by worm-gear 40. The vertical shaft 3 carries also face-cams 28, 34, the former of which is arranged to move the lever 27 on its pivot intermittently, so as to rock the roller 19 upwards in such a way as to grip the insulating - strip 17 against the driven roller 18, and the latter of which exercises a similar control over the wheel 33. Knives 30 placed in front of the feedrolls 18, 19 and controlled by the arm 27, as shown in Fig. 1 at 27<a>, sever the insulating- strip after sufficient has been fed forward, and the rolls 32, 33 then come into action to feed the severed strips along the shoots 12 to the spools 2. The shoots are jointed at the extremities 14, and the spring-pressed rolls 13 carried on the hinged extremities force the strips on to the spools. To compensate for the variation in the diameter of the spools 2, the feed-rolls 18 are driven from conical pulleys 21, 23, one of which is provided with a thread on its surface so as to traverse the belt 22 from one end to the other.

[Cognate Application, 20,512/11.] Inductances variable without altering the metallic resistance; reactances, iron-cored. - A core 4 of magnetic material carries a primary winding 6 and a secondary winding 7, the circuit of which is closed through a high resistance. These windings may be separate, as shown, or connected as an auto - transformer. The core 4 can be turned step-by-step, so that the primary winding 6 can be placed in inductive relationship with either of the additional secondary windings 9, 91 on a surrounding iron frame, these windings being connected with different resistances. The effective reactance of the winding 6, which is connected in the circuit to be controlled, thus varies with the position of the core 4, and is least in the position shown. The inductance is applied for controlling an induction motor, the winding 6 being connected to the rotor. For a three-phase rotor, three such devices are arranged so as to be capable of simultaneous regulation, the respective magnetic circuits being separate or combined.
