Title: Improvements in and relating to the Regulation of Dynamo Electric Machinery.
Inventor: PARSONS CHARLES ALGERNON
Filed: 1907-06-13
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 13,712. Parsons, C. A., and Law, A. H. June 13. Dynamos, regulating; field magnets.-Relates to modifications of the method of voltage regulation of single-phase or polyphase machines described in Specification No. 24,141, A.D. 1905, in which a leakage path arranged either upon the exciter or main magnets is wound with a coil carrying alternating current. One part of the invention consists in providing polyphase machines with separate leakage paths arranged by all or part of the phases, while another part consists in the application of leakage paths to rotary converters, motor generators, or motor converters, &c. For instance, in a three-phase alternator 2, Fig. 3, three leakage paths 9, 10, 11 arranged behind one another on the pole-pieces of the exciter are wound with coils which are supplied with current from the secondary windings of three adjustable transformers 3, 4, 5, one being arranged in each phase. In cases where a wire is led from the star connexion, another leakage path may be arranged in that. The compounding may be adjusted by varying the number of leakage paths in action, by providing adjustable air-gaps in the leakage paths, or, as shown in Fig. 1, by placing on the leakage path l an additional winding b which is closed on an adjustable resistance, inductance, or capacity c. Similarly, an adjustable resistance, choking-coil, or condenser may be connected in shunt with the leakage-path windings or with the primary or secondary windings of the transformers supplying the leakage-path windings, if transformers are employed for the purpose. Two or more phases may be combined on one or more transformers, and one or more leakage paths may be supplied from the latter ; for example, three-phase current may be converted by transformers into single-phase current, which is then passed round one or more leakage paths.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Elevating Ashes, Clinker, and other Materials.
Inventor: LEY FRANCIS
Filed: 1907-08-31
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 19,566. Ley, Sir. F. Aug. 31. Hoists ; overwinding, preventing; self-sustaining gear.-In apparatus for hoisting clinker, ashes, and other materials, a pair of skips attached to the opposite ends of a chain or rope are arranged to be stopped and tipped automatically on reaching the ends of inclined or vertical guides, and means are provided for sustaining the load in the event of failure of the motor or breaking of the driving-belt. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the hoists, Figs. 2 and 4 show the end stop gear, and Fig. 8 is a detail view of the mechanism for sustaining the load. The skips a are attached to a rope or chain b guided at the upper end of the framing by wheels c, one of which is driven by an open and crossed belt d, e from the pulley f. The belts may be replaced by a reversible motor, or by bevel reversing-gear. The skips run on inclined or vertical tracks g arranged so that the load is automatically tipped on reaching the top. At the lower end of the guides, the descending skip is adapted to strike one or other of arms j<2>, k<2> mounted on shafts j, k connected by cranks and a link l. The shaft k is also coupled by links to a shaft m, Fig. 4, having two vertical cranks m<2>, m<3>. The crank m<3> is adapted to operate the belt-shifting fork p, and to move the belt on to the loose pulley at the completion of the wind. The lower skip is then filled from the hopper q and winding is started in the reverse direction by means of the band-lever h on the shaft j. The second crank m<2> on the shaft m is connected by link l<4> to an arm on the shaft o, which carries an horizontal fork o<2> enclosing a rod r. This rod is connected to a divided spring-pressed sleeve s carrying a double pawl r<1> frictionally mounted on the boss of a pinion t in the train of driving-wheels. When the direction of winding is reversed, the fork o<2> is oscillated so that one of its arms engages the rod r, and prevents the pawl from being dragged into engagement with the toothed wheel u meshing with the pinion t. In the event of failure of the motor or breaking of the driving-belt, the loaded skip tends to run down, and causes the pawl to be swung into engagement with the wheel u.
