Title: Improvements in Revolving Field Magnets for Dynamo-electric Machines.
Filed: 1905-08-18
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 16,773. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens Schuckertwerke Ges.]. Aug. 18. Cooling and ventilating; field magnets.-To facilitate the cooling of dynamo-electric machines having revolving field magnets, in which air is forced through the space between the stator and rotor, the field magnets are constructed so that the air gap gradually increases in width from the magnetic to the neutral axis. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the bipolar field magnet r is made approximately elliptical, with its major axis coinciding with the magnetic axis. The uniformlydistributed grooves are made of varying depths, the outer space of the grooves near the magnetic axis being left open or filled with a neutral substance. In multipolar machines the air gap between successive poles may be enlarged by a gradual curvature, or by forming recesses with obtuse angles. In machines having field magnets of the ordinary double-T shape, filling-pieces s, s, Fig. 2, constructed so as to produce an approximately-elliptical form of field magnet, are placed between the poles. This construction is also applicable to multipolar machines.

The flap 7 is gummed on the upperside and the flaps 5, 6 either on the upper or under side, and the extension 2<a> of the next blank is applied either as shown at A or B, Fig. 5, forming a continuous strip of envelopes from which one may be detached by tearing along a line of perforations 3. A larger ungummed flap 6<a> may be provided at one side to form an envelope for halfpenny postage. In a modification, the series of envelopes instead of being formed of separate blanks is formed of one continuous strip, Fig. 7, having gummed side flaps 5, 6 formed thereon. The blank is folded along the line g and perforations 3 so that the back 7 and the closing-flap 2<b> of the next envelope are superposed on the back of the address portion 4. Envelopes are detached by tearing along lines of perforations 3. In a further modification, the front or address portion 4 and closing-flap 2<b>, Fig. 14, are made as a continuous strip but separated by lines of perforations 3. The back of the envelopes with the gummed side and bottom flaps 5, 6, 7 are made as separate polygonal blanks, Fig. 10, which are applied to the corresponding sections of the strip to form a continuous series of envelopes. The side flaps 5, 6 may be formed on the strip instead of on the separate blank as described, or one of them may be left ungummed for halfpenny postage.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Transmission Gear for Motor Vehicles, Cycles and the like.
Inventor: SIZAIRE MAURICE
Filed: 1906-02-15
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 3763. Sizaire, M., Sizaire, G., and Naudin, L. March 4, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Variable - s p e e d and reversing gearing.-Relates to change - speed and reversing gearing intended more particularly for motorvehicles employing a longitudinal shaft and live axle, but also applicable to bicycles, motor-cycles, and similar vehicles. The mechanism, which affords a direct drive at all speeds, comprises a system of spurpinions mounted on the rear end of the longitudinal shaft, any one of which may be engaged with a circular lack driving the differential gear. The end of the longitudinal shaft is adapted both to slide and to swing slightly during the change of gear, which is effected by suitable cam mechanism. The longitudinal shaft A<1> is connected to the short end piece A by a universal joint which also allows sliding movement. The shaft A passes through an enlarged opening in the gear box and carries a casing E, which is mounted to oscilliate and to slide on a fixed pivot L. The casing E is connected to the shaft A, excepting during reverse movement, by a spring lever F engaging a slot in the shaft. The shaft A has three pinions secured to it either of which can be engaged with the circular rack-wheel J fixed to the planet carrier of the differential. The casing E has a boss e<1> carrying a roller e<2>, which engages a grooved cam n mounted on the control shaft N rotated by bevel-gearing from a hand-lever. This cam is shaped as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and is adapted to give both a longitudinal and rotary motion to the casing E, thereby enabling any one of the pinions G, H, I to be put into gear witb the wheel J. The roller is kept in its groove by means of a spring. The reversing-pinion P is suitably mounted in the casing E, and is adapted to engage the low-speed pinion I and the toothed crown J. As the pinions are moved to the left, they are engaged by a stop R, Fig. 3, and at the, same time the catch P is disengaged by a tappet Q, Fig. 4. This frees the casing E from the shaft A, and a further movement of the cam thrusts the reversing-pinion P between the wheel I and the toothed crown J. In a modification, the cam is of plate form, and is engaged at each side by rollers carried on the casing E. In the case of a bicycle, the spur toothed crown J is secured to the pedalling- gear, and the shaft A carries a bevel-pinion engaging another pinion on the rear driving-wheel.
