Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 7036. Weiss, A. April 3. Distributing.-Comprises a motor system with electric propulsion in which power is transmitted from the motor to the car wheels through suitablyarranged electric machines, the object being to regulate the speed of the car without the use of change and differential gearing. The prime-mover 1 is coupled with the armature 8 of a stationary dynamo 9, and also with the revoluble magnet systems 4, 5 of two other dynamos 6, 7. The armatures 10, 11 of these dynamos are independent of each other, and are directly connected with the car wheels 12. The machines are self-exciting, and the magnet windings of all the machines are arranged in series, and contact-rings 15, 16 are provided for taking the current from the machines 6, 7. The machines are so arranged that the voltage of the dynamos 6, 7, which drive the car wheels, is greater than that of the fixed dynamo 9 and of opposite sign. The speed is regulated by the switch 18, which controls the number of excitation windings 17 of the machine 9. When the voltage of the machine 9 is diminished, the speed of the car increases, and vice versa. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the armatures 8, 10, 11 of all the machines are rigidly connected to the motor shaft, while the magnet systems 4, 5 are connected by gearing with the car wheels 12. Contact-rings 25, 26 are provided for collecting the current from the machines 6, 7. The machine 9 is excited from an outside source 27, and a regulating-resistance 28 controls the current supplied, and thus indirectly regulates the speed.

Title: Improvements in Actuating Devices for Magneto Ignition Apparatus.
Filed: 1905-10-30
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 22,121. Magnetz³nder-Ges. Unterberg & Cie. Feb. 28, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines, igniting io. Relies to improvements upon the actuating - devices for magneto ignition apparatus described in Specification No. 28,157, A.D. 1904, in which a quick movement of the armature is obtained at all speeds by the use of a spring coupling, consisting of two disks a, c, Fig. 1, connected by a spring d. The disk a is fixed to the armature shaft b, while. the disk c is loosely mounted thereon and is driven from a suitable source. One construction is shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. At a low speed of the engine, pins f arranged in slots a' in the disk a strike against a fixed projection i, whereby the rotation of the disk a is stopped relatively to the disk c until a depression k formed in the latter registers with a pin f. The pin then moves into the depression k, clearing the projection i and allowing the disk c to spring forward through the limit of motion given by a pin l on a disk a which moves in a slot m in the disk c. At an increased speed of the engine, annular weights f<1> mounted on the pins f carry the latter by centrifugal force out of reach of the projection i, so that the coupling then works as a united whole. In the construction shown in Fig. 4, the pin f and the attached weights f<1> are replaced by balls f<0>, which act in the same manner.

Patent GB-190525870-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Compound Steam Turbines.
Inventor: SCHULZ RICHARD
Filed: 1905-12-12
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 25,870. Schulz, R. Dec. 12. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Relates to the method of regulating the speed and power of steam turbines described in Specification No. 8378, A.D. 1901, in which small turbines are inserted in front of the main turbine, the auxiliary and main turbines being used in conjunction when a smaller power is required. In the present invention, the auxiliary turbines are of the reaction type, thereby economizing space in an axial direction. One arrangement is shown in Fig. 4 in which three auxiliary turbines I, II, III are mounted on the same shaft as the compound main turbine IV, V. These turbines are shown diagrammatically in Fig. 3 together with a pressure diagram. Each auxiliary turbine is provided with three groups of blades working at different pressures, the expansion taking place in the nozzles, and is of the partial-flow type. When the maximum power is to be attained, steam is conducted through the pipe 1, Fig. 4, and valve 2 to turbine IV, and thence through the pipe 3 to turbine V. The lines a<3>, b<3>, Fig. 3, show the drop in pressure from the inlet pressure P to the exhaust pressure p. To bring the turbine III into action for smaller power, the valve 2 is closed and valves 5, 7 are opened ; steam then flows from the pipe 1 through another pipe and valve 5 to turbine III, and thence through the pipe and valve 7 to the main turbines IV, V. The fall of pressure in this case is shown by the lines a<2>, b<2>, c', Fig. 3. In similar manner, the valves 9, 11 and 13, 15 are opened and the valves 5, 9 closed, when the turbines II, I are to be employed for. still smaller power. The fall in pressure in these cases is shown by the lines a', b<1>, c<1> and a, b, c, d. The valves may be of any suitable type. The auxiliary turbines may be of the three-stage type, or, as shown in Fig. 6, of the two-stage type with multibladed wheels. If desired, radial-flow turbines may be used. In a modification, the main turbines consist partly of pressure and partly of reaction turbines. The auxiliary turbines may be placed in a single casing, thus further shortening the length of the series. In this case, the valves corresponding to the valves 11, 15, Fig. 4, are preferably formed as hit-and-miss slides. In another modification, the auxiliary turbine is formed as shown in Fig. 14. The steam enters through the valve 13 and is regulated by slides s', s<2>, s<3>, which may be actuated by pinions mounted upon a common spindle. The main turbine may also be of the reaction type with means for regulating the flow, i.e. the number of blades acted upon. In this case, the main and auxiliary turbines may be distributed over several shafts and the valves so regulated that the power transmitted to each shaft is approximately uniform. Other arrangements of turbines, shafts, valves, and connexions acting on the same principle as the modifications described above are shown in the Specification. The invention is stated to be applicable to locomotives.
