Title: Improvements in or relating to Electromagnets for use in Electric Meters
Inventor: BLATHY OTTO TITUS
Filed: 1905-01-10
Granted: 1905-05-04
Abstract: 493. Blßthy, O. T. Jan. 10. Motor meters. - To correct for the effect of the varying permeability of the iron cores of the field coils at small loads, additional cores are provided which become saturated at about the point at which the magnetization of the main core reaches the upward bend in the magnetization curve. A second correction field may be similarly applied to reduce still further the lower limit of proportionality. In an induction meter, the correction field may be supplied by an independent coil with a core having reduced portions or bridges suitably proportioned, or, as shown in Fig. 6, angle plates 5 may be applied to one or both poles of the main core itself, portions being cut away to leave the bridges 3. The pole-pieces 4 for the correction field may be turned inwards as shown, or outwards, supporting pieces of non-magnetic substance being fitted in the former case, Where two cores are used and arranged as in Fig. 8, one of the gaps may be bridged by pieces 3, formed by stamping a hole in the plate 7. The bridge pieces may be so proportioned that one supplies a first and the other a second correction field. In commutator motor meters, correction pole plates 4, Fig. 10, are placed in front of the pole surfaces and connected thereto by.bridges3. The bridge-pieces may be formed of some material less permeable than iron.

Inventor: DANN AUGUSTUS CARDIGAN FREDERI
Filed: 1905-01-23
Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 1282. Dann, A. C. F. Jan. 23. Clutches ; variable-speed and reversing gearing.-The gear provides for four speeds and a reverse drive, the driving-shaft, or it may be the driven shaft, having keyed to it five gear-wheels a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, a<4>, a5, Fig. 1, gearing with an equal number of wheels b<1> ... b<5> of the driven shaft b. The wheels a<5>, b<5> gear through an intermediate pinion c, which is mounted to rotate on a pin c' secured in a box c<2> extending from the end of the gear box, to give a reverse drive. The shaft b is hollow and has a series of radial slots d for each of the gears, each slot having a block e arranged to slide therein. The blocks have a cross-section shown in Fig. 2, the outer faces corresponding with the periphery of their gear - wheels, or rollers may be used. These clutch blocks, which may be made of mild steel or annealed material, are arranged to be thrust outwardly into contact with their gear wheels by means of an internally-coned spring- steel split ring h which fits over a cone i. The cones are drawn together by means of a flanged rod m against the action of a spring j. The rod m moves inside a sleeve n, disks o provided with ball bearings o' being inserted between the bases of the cones and flanges of the rod and its tube. It is preferable to insert felt &c. washers q between the flanges and bases of the disks o to reduce irregularities in the abutting surfaces. To prevent the displacement of the balls o, a pin of the sleeve n engages in a longitudinal slot r' of the rod m. By curving the sides of the slots d inwardly as shown, the clutch blocks e tend to be rocked about their line of contact with the cone h, which tends to increase their grip on the pinions. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that the cone ring h may consist of pairs of arms pivotally mounted in loose collars, and either toggled or not at their outer ends and provided with a friction shoe for engagement with the sliding blocks.
