Abstract: 17,847. Leitner, H. July 31. Exciting. - Relates to reversible variable-speed dynamos in which subsidiary brushes are employed, as described, for example, in Specifications 9655/05, 12,645/05, 12,945/05, and 3391/08, and consists in furnishing the field excitation wholly or mainly by the subsidiary brushes. For this purpose, the subsidiary brushes c, d, Fig. 1, and main brushes a, b are advanced considerably from the axis of the field poles in the direction of rotation. When the direction of rotation is reversed, the subsidiary brushes are allowed to swing from one side to the other of the pole axis by mounting them on ball bearings either in conjunction with the arm carrying the main brushes or separate therefrom so as to be carried round upon reversal by the friction of the brushes on the commutator. In a modification, the main brushes a, b are fixed in the usual neutral position. The armature may be provided with two separate commutators and windings wound for the same or different voltages, the main and subsidiary brushes being mounted upon different commutators. An additional winding, connected in shunt with the main brushes or fed from a separate source, may be placed upon the fie'd-magnet.
