Abstract: 5117. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, Kieffer, E. O., and Schaeffer, K. W. March 1. Cooling and ventilating. -In a machine having a v e n t i l a t i n g - fan which p r o j e c t s axially from the rotor by an amount less than the projection o f t h e stator c o i l ends from the stator iron, a fan with a cutved rim giving an axial component to the air is used in combination with end shields or baffles such that the intake air is separated from the delivered air. The Figure shows part of an induction motor in which the air is drawn through openings in an end shield e by a fan d having a curved rim d<1> which imparts an outward axial component to the air so as to drive it over an extension plate f to the.outlet above, without admixture with the incoming supply. The axial component also minimizes the formation of eddies among the overhung coil ends g. The plate f may be carried by the rotor, in which case a small clearance is left between it and the shield e, or, alternatively, the end shields themselves may be formed to act as baffle-plates. The fan vanes and rim may be combined in a self-contained structure, or the rim may be incorporated in the cast structure described in Specification 16,811/09.

Abstract: 12,180. Shemwell, H. May 29, 1909, [Convention date]. Mechanically operated from or by vehicle.- Relates to means carried by the vehicles for operating tramway and like points mechanically therefrom and consists in causing the pointoperating member on the car to be simultaneously depressed and rotated by a single force exerted in a direction inclined to a line parallel with the axis of the member. Fig. 1 shows a side and Fig. 3 an end view of one form of the operating-mechanism on the vehicle. The point-operating member 7 is mounted in a pillar 9 and controlled by a spring 11. At its upper end are two projections 15, 24 one being adapted to move in a cam-groove 16, and the other connected by chains 23 to a pair of rocking-arms fixed to the same spindle as the three-armed member 12.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Switching In and Out Devices for Dynamo Electric Machines Working in Conjunction with Accumulators.
Inventor: FOSTER HERBERT FRASER

Granted: 1911-10-10
Abstract: 23,377. Foster, H. F. Oct. 10. Switches, actuating by the magnetic lag of a rotating dynamo armature. To make circuit automatically for a dynamo charging accumulator batteries when the speed is sufficient, contacts A carried on a pulley P having a limited free movement relatively to the armature shaft C are brought up to contacts M on a block B rigidly mounted on the shaft, when this lags owing to the reaction of the field-magnets upon the armature. Springs S tend to keep the contacts A pressed against the insulating-sides of the block B, and produce a quick movement when the contacts ride over the corners. The contacts A and the block B may, as shown, be made with interlocking shoulders, which are drawn out of engagement by the centrifugal action of weights W. The switching-off action is effected when the driving - power ceases or slows down, by the return current from the batteries motoring the armature.
