Abstract: 21,540. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Sept. 21. Alternating current commutator machines.-The stator winding of a polyphase commutator machine, in which the stator and rotor windings are connected in series either directly or through transformers, and in which the speed is regulated by moving the brushes, is arranged so that ampereturns thereof compensate or neutralize armature ampere-turns over a certain arc of the armature circumference, and so that those armature conductors which are not compensated serve together with the stator conductors opposite them to produce the main exciting-field. In the diagram Fig. 1, the stator conductors, which may form part of a drum winding, are indicated by the outer series of small circles, those circles marked with a single dot and cross representing one phase and those marked with two and three dots and crosses representing the other two phases. The armature winding consists of an ordinary direct-current twopole drum winding, the inner row of small circles indicating the resultant phases and directions of the currents in the actual armature winding. The windings are so arranged that for one position of the three commutator brushes, for example, that corresponding to the diameters fg, km, and bc, the whole of the armature winding is compensated by the whole of the stator winding. If the brushes are shifted, the armature is completely compensated in six zones a ; in the remaining six zones y, the armature and stator currents combine to produce an excitation equivalent to the ampere-conductors indicated by the large outer circles. The compensating - winding described in Specification 9638/08 may be employed. Ring windings may be used on both the stator and rotor.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 8468. Doyle, D. Sept. 29. Pneumatic collectors. -Relates to road scavengering machines of the kind in which air is blown on to the road surface and then sucked up again into the machine where the dust is deposited. The invention consists mainly in (1) furnishing the nozzle with sheeting which makes an air-tight joint between the air shaft and the road surface, (2) providing means for sucking more air up than is blown down, and (3) placing removable bags under the hoppers in the machine. Air is blown down a shaft A, Fig. 1, on to the road at D from a fan F driven from the wheels of the vehicle. The dust-laden air is forced up a shaft U into the body of the vehicle, and, having deposited the greater part of its dust in the hoppers N, X, is filtered by a screen S before it passes down the shafts W to the fan. The dust is collected in bags which are placed under the hoppers, and which are removable through a door DR. To prevent the escape of air at the road surface, trailing flaps P, B are arranged in conjunction with side sheeting E, Fig. 2. The flap P hinged at H, Fig. 4, consists of light boards with leather or similar material fastened to the middle of each to make an air-tight joint between them. An india-rubber tip T formed with a spring downwards is secured to the flap. The side sheeting E consists of basil or india-rubber sheets SH, NG, Fig. 5, weighted by chains C, CN, between which a brush of horse-hair, unspun flax, or the like is secured for the purpose of filtering any escaping air. A lapel Z of rubber is fastened to the inner sheets. The after flap B is held down by a chain CH. Arrangements may be used for causing more air to be sucked up than is blown down. In the construction illustrated in Fig. 1, part of the air from the fan is allowed to blow off through a movable flap Q and is filtered by a screen SC before passing to the atmosphere. In a modification, air is blown on the road through valve-controlled pipes arranged in a circle, and the dusty air is sucked up a central flue. Bellows or screw fans may be used instead of the centrifugal fan F.

Abstract: 24,705. Tampier, R. Oct. 24. Toothed gearing. - A shaft carrying a device to be adjusted simultaneously about three axes at right-angles to one another is operated by a system of bevelgears carried by three intermediate shafts arranged perpendicularly to one another. The shaft to be operated may carry a supporting, steering, or propelling plane of a flying-machine. The three intermediate shafts 1, 2, 3 are connected together by sleeves 4, 5, the latter being supported by arms 5<1> secured to the sleeves 13, 14 loosely mounted on the shaft 1. A bevelwheel 8 is keyed to the shaft 1 and meshes with a double bevel-wheel 9 freely mounted on the shaft 2. The wheel 9 meshes with a segment 10 keyed to the shaft 3 and with a wheel 12 free on the shaft 3. The wheel 12 gears with a pinion 11 free on the shaft 6 which supports the plane 7 or other device to be moved. Secured to the sleeves 13, 14 are wheels 16, 15 connected by chains 25, Fig. 3, to segments 19 mounted in a frame 17 pivoted on the shaft 1. The segments and the wheels 15, 16 can be turned in opposite directions by rotating a hand-wheel 22, and the wheels 15, 16 are rotated in the same direction by pivoting the hand-lever 21 and the frame 17 about the shaft 1. The wheels 15, 16 raise or lower the shafts 6 by means of the arms 5<1> and move the wheels 9 over the stationary pinion 8.. The rotation of the wheels 9 turns the segments 10 to swing the shafts 6 forwards or backwards, and turns the pinion 12, 11. The pinion 11 is connected to the plane 7 so as to turn it about the axis of the shaft 6. The shaft 1 and the pinion 8 can be adjusted by a hand-wheel 26 to rotate the pinion 11 and move the shaft 6 backwards and forwards. In a modified form, the sleeve 5, Fig. 5, carries a segment 10 gearing with a segment 11 secured to the shaft 6, which is supported from the shaft 3 by arms 32. The pinion 9 gears with a pinion 12 keyed to the shaft 3. When the shaft 2 is moved upwards or downwards, as previously described, the wheel 9 in turning upon the fixed wheel 8, rotates the wheel 12 and the shaft 3. The arms 32 secured to the shaft 3 move the shaft 6 forwards or rearwards, and the wheel 11 in running on the fixed wheel 10 during the displacement of the shaft 6, causes this to rotate on its own axis.
