Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 2540. Holle, A. A. Jan 31. Planes, construction of; steering and balancing.-The main spar of the supporting-planes of an aeroplane is formed of a number of sections hinged together about vertical pivots and controlled by cords for collapsing or extending the planes during flight. The inner end of the spar is connected to the body by a universal joint so that the dihedral angle and the longitudinal position of the wings can be varied. The universal joint is mounted so that it can be rotated in order to vary the incidence of the planes. The spar is shown in an inverted plan view in Fig. 3 in a partly collapsed position. The sections a, b, c, c<1> of the spar correspond to the bones of the wing of a bird. The planes are collapsed and adjusted by cables m, n, o. The cable o is attached to the outer end of the section a and controls the fore and aft movements of the plane as a whole about the vertical pivot v of the universal joint. The cable m passes over a boss b<3> on the inner end of the section b, around bosses p, r on the adjacent ends of the sections b, c, below the centre of the pin x, connecting the sections c, c<1>, and is secured to the end of the section c'. The return part of the cable is guided around a pin r<1> whereby slack in the cable is taken up when the plane is folded, and around the bosses r, p. The cables m pass above and below the centre of the pivot v and by pulling on the return cable the sections b, c are folded without affecting the section a. The sections a, b, c are folded or extended by simultaneously acting on the cables m, o, and the section c' is folded by a cable n which automatically comes into operation when the section b is moved relatively to the section a. The dihedral angle is varied by pulling on the cables m, n, o at one side of the plane and slackening those on the other side. Stresses in the plane are taken by the operating-cables. The adjacent ends of the sections b, c, Fig. 7, engage in recesses in an intermediate piece h which is connected to a link b<1> arranged parallel with the section b and connected thereto at its lower end by a link d. The end e of the link b<1> moves in an eccentric slot f in a plate a<1> secured to the section a. The piece h and the link b<1> serve to convert torsional stresses in the section c into a compression stress on the part a and a tension in the cord n running at the rear of the member b. The cords m, n serve to keep the parts b, c in contact with the intermediate piece h.

Title: An Arrangement for Starting and Regulating Direct Current Electric Motors.
Inventor: CUMONT FERNAND
IPC: H02P1/18
Filed: 1912-04-03
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 8108. Cumont, F. June 29, 1911, [Convention date]. Systems fo r continuous-current motors o n l y - Continuouscurrent motors are controlled by means of an auxiliary machine with two sets of field coils and brushes, one set of brushes being connected in series with the motors across the mains. In the arrangement shown, two motors M1, M2 are connected to mains and also to the four brushes d<1>, d<2>, e<1>, e<2> of the rotary machine F. This machine has field coils D, E, H connected as shown, the coil H being arranged to aid or oppose the coil E, and is equivalent to two machines with a common armature, one with brushes d<1>, d<2> and field coil D, the other with brushes el, e<2> and field coils E, H. At starting, the armature F is disconnected, and a current flows through the motors M1, M2 and the field coil E, but this current is too small to operate the motors. A current also flows through the field coils D, H, the latter being in opposition to the coil E. The armature F is then connected in circuit. The voltage on the brushes e', e<2> is approximately the line voltage, and this is balanced by the electromotive force induced by the current in the winding E. The winding H causes the regulator to absorb energy, some of which is returned to the mains through the brushes d<1>, d<2>. The current is now sufficient to rotate the motors, and the voltage across the motors increases, while that across the regulator diminishes until it reaches zero, whereupon the motors run as if they were in a simple series connexion. Beyond this point, the current in the winding E is reversed, and the regulator generates an electromotive force across the brushes e<1>, e<2> in the same direction as the voltage on the mains. The speed of the motors and the voltage across them continue to increase until the voltage across the brushes e', e<2> reaches a value equal to the line voltage. The motors are thus subjected to a voltage double that of the line, and they may be connected in parallel across the mains without the intervention of the regulator. The acceleration during starting may be varied by varying the number of active turns in the windings H, E, or by the insertion of resistance. When the motors are controlled for regenerative braking, the coil H aids the coil E, and the regulator is again connected in the circuit. The electromotive force which is then opposed to the line voltage may be controlled by varying the current in the coils H, E, or by temporarily inserting inductance or resistance in the motor circuit. A third field winding may be added-to the regulator, and may carry the motor current, hut acts in opposition to the winding H.
