Abstract: 11,956. Walker, M. May 20. Field magnets; commutating poles and windings; rotary converters.-To prevent sparking in rotary converters and motor converters in which the direct-current voltage is varied by shifting the commutator brushes without varying the voltage on the alternating-current side, the field magnet is modified, either by forming special air gaps in the poles thereof, or by the provision of polar projections. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, the faces of the field-magnet poles 1 are cut away uniformly in a direction parallel to the armature' axis, so as to produce increased air gaps at the portions 10, below which lie the sides of the armature coil 6 undergoing commutation. The poles may be provided with pole tips or spurs 13, Fig. 4, of less width than the main pole-piece and either unwound or provided with series coils 14. The main poles 1 are provided with shunt and series coils 3, 4. Commutating-poles may be provided between every alternate pair of main poles, the main poles not provided with commutating-poles being constructed as described above. Narrow carbon brushes of high resistance and' high-resistance commutator leads are preferably employed. The invention is applicable to machines having two or more sets of brushes, so that a number of different voltages may be obtained from the same machine. Specifications 28,155/04 and 14,712/06 are referred to.

Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 4502. Barker, R. W., [Barker, F. W., and Coffin, J. F.]. Feb. 22. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Balancing.-A Venturi tube or other suction device is arranged in a current of air and connected to a device for adjusting a steering and balancing member according to the variations in the air current. In one form, a Venturi tube 6 is arranged in the direction of flight, and connects by a pipe 7 with a cylinder 5 containing a piston 4 and spring seating 8. The piston is connected to an arm 3 on an elevator 1, which is drawn downwards at its forward end by a tension spring (not shown). When the machine is in normal flight, the suction created by the tube 6 draws the piston against the spring seat 8 and adjusts the elevator for horizontal travel. An increase or decrease in speed causes the elevator to be adjusted to direct the machine upwards or downwards. As applied to lateral balancing, the Venturi tubes 13, Fig. 3, connect the upper and lower faces of the laterally-extending planes at or near their centres of pressure and communicate with the ends of a cylinder 16 having a piston 15 normally centralized by springs 17. When the pressures on the planes 11, 12 are equal, the piston is retained in its central position, but a difference in pressure causes the piston to move to one side or other and to actuate through a relay the side balancing- planes to maintain lateral equilibrium. In one form, the relay comprises a cylinder 28 with piston 29 connected to the balancing-planes. The ends of the cylinder are normally partly exhausted by suction devices 26, 27 through tubes 24, 25 provided with three - way cocks 22, 23 adapted to connect the ends of the cylinder 28 either with the suction devices or to atmosphere. The cocks 22, 23 are controlled by the piston 15, the movement of which from its central position actuates one or other of the cocks to connect the corresponding side of the cylinder 28 to atmosphere. In a modified form of relay, the pipes 36 of the Venturi tubes 35 communicate with the ends of a U - tube 37 containing mercury which is adapted to complete an electric circuit for actuating the balancing-planes when a difference of pressure exists on the two lateral planes 34.

Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 5298. Frisch, A. March 2. Electro - magnetic current meters; phasedifferences, measuring; indicating-appliances.- Apparatus for exhibiting the wave form of alternating currents comprises two series of close parallel conductors arranged at rightangles with means for giving a visible spark at the intersection of the two co-ordinates corresponding to the state of the phenomenon at each instant. A light aluminium piston 33 is mounted on a thin steel wire 32 in a cylinder 31 of insulating-material through which the ends of one series of co-ordinate conductors extend: The ends of the cylinder communicate by tubes 28, 29 with opposite sides of an iron diaphragm 23 under the influence of a bell magnet, one of the coils of which 37 is energized by the alternating-current. The second coil 36 is connected to a battery 35. The diaphragm moves between adjustable plugs 26, 27 screwed into the magnet and cover and controls the passage of compressed air admitted by a forked pipe 42 to both sides of the diaphragm. Apertures in the tubes 28, 29 prevent any compression of the air other than that due to the vibration of the diaphragm. The ends of the second series of conductors are touched bv a helical conductor 39 mounted on a spindle driven synchronously with the frequency of the alternating current. The conductor surfaces are formed of conducting plates and insulators arranged alternately, the whole being grooved to take enamelled strips, which are burnt to expose the metal and have pointed ends extending to the inner surface of the insulating cylinder 31. A second piston such as 33 with a corresponding controlling-diaphragm operated by another alternating current may be put into contact with the other end of the same series of co-ordinates, and two curves shown by sparks may be determined to test the synchronism of two alternators. In a similar manner, pressure and current curves may be shown simultaneously.
