Filed: 1910-03-23
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 7318. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. March 23. Systems for alternating-current motors only; controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism for. - An alternating-current motor-starting switch employs two variable resistances and one invariable resistance connected in or across the three phases of the secondary winding of the motor. The three resistances are arranged to give a balanced distribution of current in the secondary winding when the motor is first switched on, to enable it to develop sufficient torque to start under a given load. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, variable resistances 51, 52 and a fixed resistance 53 are connected in star to the slip - rings of an induction motor 46. The contact arm 38 is arranged to complete the circuits, and to cut out the resistances 51, 52 gradually. A contact 44, carried by the arm 38, co-operates with a fixed contact 45 to short-circuit the resistance 53 when the other resistances have been wholly cut out. Fig. 5 shows the connexions for a motor starter with variable resistances 35, 36 and a fixed resistance 37 arranged in mesh connexion. The Specification describes the construction of a controller so arranged, in which brushes 16, 17 co-operating with the resistance contacts 20, 21 and 22, 23 are carried by a vertically reciprocating slider, and allowed to fall under the control of a dash-pot to cut out the resistances 35, 36 when a crank, connected if desired to a reversing-switch and by a slotted link to the slider, is moved from its normally vertical position.

Title: Improvements in Rock Drills.
Inventor: HANNAN JAMES
IPC: E21B1/30
Filed: 1910-03-30
Granted: 1911-05-01
Abstract: 7745. Hannan, J. March 30. Percussive drills.-In a percussive rock drill of the type having a cylindrical distributing- valve oscillated by fluid from the cylinder, a plug valve 31 controls a series of ports 30 through which fluid may be admitted during the forward stroke to move the distributing-valve 19. By rotating the plug valve 31 and changing the acting port 30 the length of stroke can be varied. Cork cushions 13 covered with plates 14 are placed in the cylinder ends. The tool is rotated by pawls mounted in plates secured to the cylinder sides and engaging rifling 6 on the piston 2. To give an automatic feed, at the end of a full forward stroke, fluid from the rear cylinder end passes through a pipe 63 and a port 64 to oscillate a valve 45. During the return stroke, exhaust from the rear cylinder end passes through a pipe 65 and a port 66 to return the valve 45. Exhaust passes gradually through a port 67. The oscillation of the valve 45 is conveyed through a crank arm 47 to a slotted lever 50 carrying a spring-held pawl 56 engaging ratchet teeth on a sleeve keyed to the feed-screw 15, which is thus intermittently rotated. In a modification shown in Fig. 16, the valve 19 fits into and oscillates with a sleeve 70 having a vane 72 and working within a liner 71, and a plug valve 76 controls a series of ports 80, 81. During the forward stroke, fluid passes from the rear cylinder space through a port 81, plug valve 76, and port 35, to move the valve part of its stroke. The fluid then acts expansively on the piston until the piston passes a port 80, whereupon fluid passes through this port, the plug valve 76, and another port to act on the vane 72 and complete the motion of the valve. By means of the plug valve, the acting ports 80, 81 may be changed, and the expansion and stroke may be varied

Abstract: 24,696. Schiessler, J. Oct. 24. Converting alternating and direct currents.- Electric oscillations or vibrations for use in telegraphy or telephony, with or without wires, are produced by the action of a rapidly rotating or vibrating magnetic system on a movable electrode of an arc fed by continuous current. Arcs with movable electrodes controlled electromagnetically or by sound-waves are employed in receiving and amplifying the vibrations and in the construction of microphones. The oscillation-generator shown in Fig. 1 comprises two or more arcs 1, 2 and 3, 4 connected in series in a direct-current circuit 11, 12 containing inductances 14, 25. The electrodes of each arc are mounted on springs which tend to bring them together, but their normal working positions are regulated by magnets or solenoids 15, 16, 27, which may be in shunt or in series to the arc. The electrodes are made of magnetic material, but they may comprise interchangeable " crater and cone " portions 9, 10 of difficultly fusible material, which may be a radio-active metal or alloy such as uranium. The inner electrodes 1, 4 are vibrated by magnetized steel pins 31 on the periphery of a rapidly-rotated aluminium disk 29. A second disk may be provided, having holes through which air is expelled radially by centrifugal force for cooling the electrodes. For the same purpose, the arcs may be arranged in a chimney or in a vacuum tube or a tube filled with hydrogen. Instead of a rotary magnet system, a vibratory arrangement, for instance an electrically-operated magnetic tuning-fork, may be employed.
