Title: Improvements in Enclosed Dynamo Electric Machines for Effecting the Ventilation thereof.
Filed: 1905-08-10
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 16,300. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens Schuckertwerke Ges.]. Aug. 10. Casings; cooling and ventilating.-Relates to the cooling and ventilation of enclosed dynamo-electric machines, and consists in so constructing the casing that the parts containing the air inlet and outlet openings may be rotated so as to bring the openings into any desired position, and also in forming channels in the stator and rotor parallel to the axis of the machine. The cap d, Fig. 1, containing the inlet opening e, is secured by screws to the yoke j, which carries the field magnets f, the bearing, formed separately from the cap d, being secured thereto by screws so that the cap d may be rotated without moving either the bearing or the yoke j. The other cap d may be similarly constructed, or, if it is formed integral with the bearing, as is the case in most machines, a separate annular channel r containing the outlet opening s may be secured by screws between the yoke j and the cap d. The fan v, which produces the current of air in the machine, is fixed to the rotor shaft between the rotor a and the commutator c. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, air is drawn in through the opening e and propelled by the fan v through the channels c<1>, c<2> formed in the rotor r and stator s in a direction parallel to the axis of the machine. The air may then pass through the space between the casing and the outer periphery of the stator to the outlet openings x, or it may pass direct to the atmosphere through channels t, Fig. 3. In the latter case, a separate current of air is driven by the fan v<1> through the space between stator and the casing, the channels connecting this space with the chamber in which the fan v<1> rotates being formed between the channels t.

Title: Improvements in Fish Plates for the Rail Joints of Railways and the like.
Inventor: MENARD GEORGES PIERRE AUGUSTE
Filed: 1906-05-16
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 11,483. Menard, G. P. A. L. May 16. Rail joints.-Fish-plates are made zigzag in crosssection, in order to obtain a spring clamping- action, due to deformation of the plates, on further tightening of the bolts, after the plates have been wedged against the rail surfaces in the usual way. The fish-plates c, Fig. 1, have longitudinal folds 4, 5 in reverse directions, and are reduced in section at the point 2, to aid the deformation of the plates. When the fish - plates are wedged against the rail surfaces, further tightening of the bolts produces varying amounts of bending of the plates at the section 2, thus compensating for irregularities in the rail surfaces.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo Electric Machines.
Inventor: LINCOLN JOHN CROMWELL
Filed: 1906-06-11
Granted: 1907-06-11
Abstract: 13,427. Lincoln, J. C. June 27,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Driving machines by electromotors.-In variablespeed motors for printing-presses &c., preferably shunt-wound motors, means are provided for moving a preferably frusto conical armature laterally with respect to the field magnet, which has narrow polar extensions in the direction of withdrawal of the rotor, so placed with regard to the poles as to generate an electromotive force in the armature to reduce sparking at high speeds. The armature may also be specially wound. To increase the speed of the motor, the armature shaft e, Fig. 1, can be shifted to the left by a hand-wheel and the worm-wheel r, which by the rack h moves the thrust bearing c in the annular support g. The rack h serves as a feather to prevent rotation, and the portion of the shaft e within the thrust bearing has annular depressions engaged by collars of Babbitt-metal cast within the bearing. Each field pole has on its left and somewhat in advance a bent arm o, Figs. I and IX, extending practically as far as the armature can be withdrawn from the field, and the extension subjects the armature coils in turn to a commutating field at the moment of short-circuiting by the brushes. The polar faces may be " biased,' Fig. II, and the armature coils may also be " biased" by disposing them in the parallel diagonal grooves m, Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. IV, in which o is the extended polar face, 6-6 the polar axis, 5 the low-speed position of an armature coil, and 3, 4 the positions of the coil at the beginning and end of its short-circuiting by the brushes at high speed, the effective areas of the fields subject all the effective portions of the coils to a magnetic flux during the commutation so that the axial shifting of the armature, when provided with the biased arrangement of poles and windings, produces the same effect in reducing sparking as the usual method of rocking the brushes.

Title: Improvements relating to Grinding and Polishing Machines
Inventor: WILLIAMS EDWARD
Filed: 1907-05-25
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 12,113. Williams, E. May 25. Surfacing and polishing.-In a machine for grinding and polishing metal disks and plates, and curved or conical surfaces, the work is mounted in a rotating ,pivoted clamp mounted on a slide which can' be traversed by hand under the grinding- whcel &c. The work is kept in contact with the grinding-wheel by spring pressure. To produce a high surface finish, the angle which the line of contact between the grinding-wheel and the work makes with a radius of the work-piece is varied intermittently, the grinding-wheel or the slide supporting the work :being suitably constructed for this purpose. The work q, Fig. 3, is clamped between lugs p on arms o, loose on a spindle s, and a plate r on the end of the spindle. A spring t is arranged between the two elements of the clamp. The spindle s is slidably arranged in a sleeve z upon which is mounted a worm-wheel 1 driven by a worm f on a shaft e. The work is pressed upward into contact with the grinding-wheel b by a spring u. The lower end of the spindle is connected to a spring-controlled linkage arrangement 2, 4, 7, Fig. 1, operated by a treadle 5, the operation of which first withdraws the work from the grinding-wheel and then liberates the work-piece. The arrangement may be varied to allow the attendant to press the work into contact with the grinding-wheel by operating the treadle 5. The sleeve z is mounted in a pivotal bearing v carried by brackets w on a slide m, and is rocked about the bearing v by a handle y. Stops x are provided to limit the pivotal motion of the work spindle. The teeth ,of the wheel 1 are formed to allow them to engage with the worm f as to spindle s is tilted, or if necessary a universal joint may be arranged between the spindle s and the wheel 1. The slide m is traversed along an arm on the machine pedestal by a pinion k, Which is operated by a hand-wheel n and engages a rack on the slide. To protect the beating-surfaces of the slide, the piece m is made sufficiently long to cover one side of the arm. The shaft e is driven through a loose pulley g connected to the shaft by a clutch h which is normally held in engagement with the pulley by a spring j. A collar i is provided at the other end of the shaft which, during the reciprocation of the slide, comes into contact with the worm f and drags the clutch out of engagement with the pulley g. A catch 6 may be used to secure the slide in the inoperative position. An electro-magnet may be arranged on the spindle s to grip the work.

Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 18,510. Glenk, W. Aug. 15. Feeding and stoking; coking-chambers.-Fuel is coked in an open-ended chamber c arranged at the side of and movable to and from the grate a, and is fed to the latter by imparting a forward movement to the container by means of a projecting handle e. In one construction, Fig. 3, the containe r is mounted on rollers d and is provided with a cross-bar i sliding over a plate k. The grate area may be varied by moving the container, and the air supply may be reduced by thus narrowing the grate a. A forward movement of the bar i is stated to cause the ashes to fall through the grate. A damper m deflects gases from the coal on to the grate. In a modification, the bar i and plate k are dispensed with. Two stops are provided, one on the container bottom, the other on the stove framing, to check the forward movement of the container and thus project the fuel on to the grate. Backward movement of the coal in the container is prevented by forming steps in the bottom and sides of the latter upwardly from the grate. The fire may be allowed to burn down, and the live coal or other fuel in the container used alone when a milder heat is required. Fig. 5 shows the invention applied to a heating - stove. The movable container c is arranged in a projecting chamber b, the upper surface of which can be used for cooking purposes. Stops g, h are provided to check the forward movement of the container and so project the fuel into the grate. The fuel-container may be withdrawn from the grate, when the gases will not be driven out of the fuel.
