Title: Improvements in or relating to Dynamo Electric Machines for Voltage Transformation.
IPC: H02K47/16
Filed: 1910-02-21
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 4262. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Parker, W. Feb. 21. Rotary transformers for supplying arc lamps &c. and operating on the auto-transformer principle are provided with " split " or divided field poles g, m and a drum armature A with one or more sets of intermediate brushes b, the " motoring " poles m alternating around the armature with the " generating poles g. Both the main brushes B and the auxiliary brush b short-circuit armature conductors situated between " motoring " and " generating " poles. The consuming-devices are placed in circuit in the lead P. The armature is provided with any kind of lap or wave winding which is suitable for an ordinary machine having the same number of main poles as there are divided poles ; in the example given, a four-pole wave winding is used. The field windings are preferably proportioned and connected so that the total field flux remains constant, and the machine runs at a constant speed at all loads. For example, the poles m may each be provided with two windings, one winding H being connected across the positive supply lead K and the brush b, while the winding T is connected in series with the negative brush B. Each " generating "-pole g has two magnetizing-coils B', D and a demagnetizing- coil C. The coil B' is connected across the main supply leads, the coil D is in series with the positive brush B, and the coil C is in series with the coils T. Another intermediate brush-set may be placed on the commutator opposite the set b shown, and two more main brush-sets may be used. According to the Provisional Specification, the poles m may be wound with shunt coils connected across the primary leads and with series coils carrying the motor current and four separate windings may be provided on each pole g, (1) a series demagnetizing-winding carrying the motor current, (2) a series demagnetizing-winding carrying a current equal to the difference between the secondary current and the motor current, (3) a shunt winding excited by the secondary voltage, and, (4) a small shunt winding connected across the primary mains.

Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 19,820. Irinyi, A. Sept. 6. Atmospheric vapour burners ; vaporizing- apparatus. - In a heating - device for liquid fuel, two currents of air are supplied to an evaporator b enclosed by a heating-casing a on all sides, one of such currents leading the flames at y partly across the top of the evaporator and partly below the bottom thereof, while the other air current arrives through the passage e at the back portion of the top of the evaporator in the opposite direction to the former, the second current, if desired, passing around the evaporator, so that in either case the whirl of flames, formed in a burner opening f above the evaporator causes a perfect vaporization of the fuel entering the hottest zone of the evaporator. The fuel-supply pipe is marked c, and the receptacle for fuel at starting is shown at d. The lower part of the evaporator b may be basin-shaped to store up fuel in order to prevent the oil from passing too rapidly through the evaporator. A plate m may be disposed in front of the evaporator b at a small distance therefrom so that a free flame is formed between the wall of the evaporator and the edge of the plate m. A preliminary heater with partitions p may be arranged around the evaporator b and, while during action the fire-door o is closed, conducts part of the air for combustion or primary air, immediately feeding the flames at y, to the space in front of the evaporator, and the other part as secondary air into the interior of the main flame. Beside the evaporator b, a second evaporator b<1> may be provided which is heated by the products of incomplete combustion from the subsidiary burner and from which the vapours are conducted into a Bunsen burner u, the evaporator b<1> being arranged either around or inside the tube r which leads away the flames. The opening z for the air supply to the nozzle u is in communication with the preliminary air heater.

Abstract: 22,977. Bell, A. J., and Bell, P. A. G. Oct. 18. Regulating. - Watermotors placed in a line of piping and working in conjunction with pumps or other measuring-devices for adding chemical to liquids, as described in Specification 15,305/07, [Class 46, Filtering &c.], are fitted with by-passes so that the number of revolutions of the motor, and d therefore the amount of chemical supplied, is proportional to the amount of liquid passing. Apparatus is shown in which a bypass is fitted with an adjustable loaded-lever valve which opens when the pressure on the supply side is increased. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the motor comprises a vaned disk g mounted on a shaft e, which can slide longitudinally in the casing, so that increased pressure on the inlet side pushes the disk g back and allows liquid to pass through to the outlet through the gap u. The disk is drawn forward by means of a springs. A disk g on a fixed shaft may be fitted with spring-controlled valves t which are opened by excess pressure.

Abstract: 4698. S i e m e n s Bros. & Co. [Siemens & Halske Akt. - Ges.]. Feb. 24. [Addition to 11,251/10.] Automatic and semiautomatic exchange systems. - A subscriber's preliminary selector W<1> has an auxiliary set of contacts, as described in the parent Specification, for connecting the subscriber to a jack K<1> at a special operator's position when all the multiple leads V<1>, V<2>, &c. are marked busy, and means are provided for moving on a selector W<1> from these special contacts if one of the leads V<1>, V<2>, &c. becomes available before the call is answered at the jack K<1>. When all the leads V<1>, V<2>, &c. are occupied, a circuit is completed over contacts r<1>, r<2>, &c. of relays A', A<2>, &c. to energize a relay R, which closes at g a circuit to the backcontacts of relays B<1>, B<2>, &c. If subscriber T' now calls, his selector W<1> is stopped, when it reaches the trunk a, b, c, by a circuit through the cut-off relay PR', wire c, springs k<1> of jack K<1>, lamp L<1>, relay B<1>, and contact g of relay R. The relay B<1> locks up in series with the relay E, which closes a contact e. If now one of the leads V<1>, V<2>, &c. should become, available, the relay R is cut out at one of the contacts r<1>, r<2>, &c., and completes at h the circuit of a magnet Q, which starts a switch J, which completes in turn the circuits of relays U<1>, U<2>, &c. When the relay U<1> is energized, it lights a lamp LU<1>, and cuts out the lamp L<1> and relays B' and PR<1>, so that the switch W<1> is set moving again and is enabled to occupy the vacant lead of the series V<1>, V<2>, &c. A notched disk Z' on the switch J closes a locking-contact for the magnet Q until a quarter-revolution has been completed. When a call is answered at the special operator's position by plugging into a jack such as K<1>, the circuit of the relay PR' is earthed directly at one of the jack-contacts k<1>, so as to lock the switch W<1>.
