Title: Improvements in or relating to Starting Switches and Automatic Controllers of Electro Motors.
Inventor: MOY ERNEST FRANCIS
Filed: 1900-08-01
Granted: 1901-06-08
Abstract: 13,820. Moy, E. F., and Bastie, P. H. Aug. 1. Switches; cut-outs.-A starting-switch for motors is so arranged that the handle may be moved directly to its stop but the resistances are only cut out slowly. A locking-arrangement is provided which is released in case of overload or underload, and a spring returns the switch to the "off" position. Figs. 1 and 3 show one arrangement. The main handle c is moved directly on to the motor contact b<1>, and the resistance bar d tends to follow it under the action of a spring f, but its speed is checked by a fly g. The arm c is held by a catch h engaging a detent i carried by the armature of an electromagnet j. So long as a current flows, the armature is held up, and the arm c locked. The core of the electromagnet l carries a contact l<3>, Fig. 4, adapted to short-circuit the magnet j in case of overload. It also carries arms g<4>, which are adapted to engage a brake disc g<3> to prevent the movement of the fly when the current is excessive. The movement is communicated to the fly mechanism from the segment d<1> through ratchet mechanism, so that the switch arm may fly back immediately. Fig. 4 shows a modification, in which the fly is replaced by a centrifugal governor g. The mechanism is applicable to switches with liquid resistances.

Abstract: 17,945. Deshler, C., and McAllister, E. J. Oct. 9. Photometers. - Relates to portable photometers for determining the candle power, voltage, or efficiency of incandescent electric lamps. The stand is made in three sections 1, 2, 3, the end sections being formed of parallel bars 4, 4, differently spaced, engaging recesses in the end of the middle section, and secured by latches 6, 6. The stands 7, 7 are hollow, and slotted at the top to receive plugs 10 connected by parallel rods bearing the scale 12 for the sliding spot-box 15. By this construction, the apparatus may be packed in a small compass, the sections 2, 3 being disengaged and laid on the top of the base 1, the bars 4, 4 of the section 2 embracing the standards 7, 7 and those of the section 3 lying outside the others ; the p lug s 10 are taken out and reversed so that the spot-box hangs down from its scale, and the light screens 51, 51, when used, are rolled up. The spot-box is formed with mirrors to throw the image of the diaphragm to the front. A telescopic standard 21 carries the electric lamp 20, and a standard oil lamp, vertically adjustable, is used at the other end. The oil lamp is of ordinary construction, but, when in use, is turned down much below its normal candle power ; under these circumstances the light remains uniform for a long period. It is adjusted at first by a standard electric lamp 20, which is then replaced by the lamp to be tested. Fig. 9 shows the electrical connections. The binding-screw 35 is connected to the resistance 17, which can be varied by the sliding ring 18 ; from this ring the circuit passes by the screw 43, wire 47, switch 44, lamp 20, and switch 40 to the binding-screw 34. A voltmeter 48 is connected up to the posts 33, 42, and an am-meter 49 or watt-meter 50 may be brought into the circuit by opening the switch 44 or 40. Dummy sockets 30 are used for holding various standard lamps 31.
