Patent GB-190713129-A (GB)
Title: A Voltage-regulated System for the Electric Lighting and Heating of Vehicles.
Inventor: GROB HUGO
Filed: 1907-06-06
Granted: 1908-06-09
Abstract: 13,129. Grob, H. June 9, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, regulating; dynamos, driving. - In lighting or heating vehicles by electricity, a dynamo B, Fig. 1, driven by the axle, is regulated so as to yield a constant voltage by means of a separate exciting machine E, the field winding D of which is connected across the poles A of the dynamo and in series with a source of constant voltage p such as a battery. As applied in particular to trainlighting systems having accumulators to feed the lamps while the dynamo is not rotating, half the battery is used, while the dynamo is rotating, as the source of constant voltage and the other half is charged by the dynamo. Arrangements are made to exchange automatically the function of the two halves of the battery at each stoppage of the train. To obtain the slightly higher voltage that is necessary for charging the batteries, the generator is constructed with two armature windings A, G, Fig. 2, each having its own commutator and brushes. The charging-current is taken through buth windings in series, while the lighting current is only taken through the winding A. The same effect is obtained by using only one armature winding along with two pairs of brushes A, G, Fig. 3. The brushes G furnishing the charging- current embrace a greater number of bars than the brushes A feeding the lamps. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 4, one pair of brushes G supplies both the charging and the lighting circuits, the latter having a resistance K in series, and separate brushes A, enclosing a smaller number of bars, are connected to the regulating, circuit. To exercise a damping effect on the fluctuations of voltage. a winding Q in series with the field of the exciter is put on the poles of the main generator so that an increase of flux of the generator acts inductively to weaken the exciting current. For the same purpose resistance coils may be inserted in the exciting circuit. To prevent the reversal of current in the circuit L due to residual magnetism at an abnormally high speed, a second winding M, Fig. 6, is put around the poles of the exciter. A resistance N, having a high temperature coefficient, may be inserted into the charging circuit. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901, refers also to a disengaging coupling for the driving-pulley of the dynamo, for the purpose of allowing the machine to run on and operate a switch to cut itself out when the train is suddenly stopped by the brakes. The change over of the battery and dynamo may be effected by a centrifugal governor acting directly, or by closing auxiliary contacts, or by shifting an eccentric on a revolving shaft. Several eccentrics-of different diameters may be used to effect a step-by-step action with regulating resistances. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 24,599. Leon, K. O. Nov. 6. Gas and like engines; starting; stopping.- Engines for torpedoes are started automatically on launching or by hand before launching. Automatic starting may be performed by the action of the water on the propeller blades, or by means of a small compressed air turbine 21, the valve 22 of which is opened by a trip lever 28 in the usual way and subsequently closed by a spring 32 ; a switch 29 is simultaneously closed for energizing electromagnets for opening the fuel and the air valves and switching on the igniting-circuit.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Starting Switches for Electric Motors.
Inventor: TIMAR DAGOBERT
Filed: 1908-05-21
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 11,064. Timar, D., and Dreger, K. von. June 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Switches.-Electric motor-starting switches are prodded with means for retarding the speed of switching 'on,' comprising a locking-pawl engaging sinuosities on an annulus latched to the switch member during its forward movement. The operating lever 23, indicted by broken centre lines in the Figure, is clutched to a sleeve having a stop member 20. It is placed in the fall running position to start the motor, and, in this position, compresses a spiral spring 19 connecting the sleeve and a casing 24 which carries the switch members 4,5, so tending to move these to the running position. To limit the speed of this movement, a lever 14 bears upon sinuosities 17 on the exterior of an annulus 9, which is loosely mounted on the casing 24, but is latched to it by the pawl 10 when the spring 19 is in compression. As the spring 19 becomes extended by the motion of the switch arm, the retarding force applied by the lever 14 is arranged to become less by progressively reducing the curvatuie of the undulations 17. The angle covered by the operating arm is greater than that swept out by the switch members. The spring 19 thus retains sufficient force to carry the switch members against the stop 28 on the last switch contact. In switching 'off,' the casing 24 and the switch members 4, 5 are positively operated by the lever 23 through the engagement of the stop 20 with a projection on the casing 24. The annulus 9 is retained during this movement by the locking-lever 14, which engages one of the notches 14‹, 14<1>, 14' in the annulus. The annulus is similarly provided with three interior notches for the pawl 10. The locking-lever 14 may be loaded by a spring as shown, by a weight, or by a dash-pot 29. The .undulations 17 may take the form of a sinuous groove.
