Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Control Systems and Apparatus therefor.
IPC: H02P1/34
Filed: 1911-06-30
Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 15,322. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 30. Master control systems.- In a system in which the resistance is cut out by electromagnetic contactors, a pair of relays are mechanically supported in the open position, and are released alternately by the action of the motor current so that they cause the contactors to operate successively. The connexions are shown for a three-phase motor M supplied from mains 1, 2, 3. The secondary circuit of the motor includes resistance sections which can be shortcircuited by the contactors 5, 6, 7, 8 to bring the motor up to speed. The arm of each contactor carries interlocking switches which break the actuating-circuit but close a maintaining - circuit and also a circuit to actuate the next contactor. The relays 9, 10 that control the contactors have windings 22, 21 in the control circuit, and cores on pivoted arms which support rods 26, 25 with contacts 28, 27. The rods carry cores in series windings, which tend to support them. When the main switch 4 and the control switch 29 are closed, the motor starts and a current flows through the relay winding 21, interlock 15, and the winding of the contactor 5. This current is not sufficient to close the contactor, but is sufficient to lift the relay core so that the rod 25 is free to drop when the current in the motor primary is normal. When the rod 25 drops, the contact 27 short-circuits the winding 21. The current is thereby raised sufficiently to operate the contactor 5, and the rod 25 is raised by the return of the relay core. The contactor in closing completes its maintaining - circuit through the interlock 16, and completes a circuit including the relay winding 22 and the winding of the contactor 6 through the interlock 17. The relay 9 then operates, in the manner described for the relay 10, to cause the closure of the contactor 6, and to complete the actuating-circuit of the relay 10 which controls the contactor 7. The relays 9, 10 thus act alternately and cause the resistance contactors to close successively.

Abstract: 8220. Oesterreichische Waffenfabriks Ges. Jan. 14, 1911, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding breech-block; breech actions, sliding barrel and breech-block. - Relates to firing-mechanism for automatic smallarms in which a link connected to the trigger is disengaged from the sear after the trigger has' been pulled, and consists in adapting the link to engage a recess in a vertically-sliding ejector which, when forced down by the breechblock, causes a pin on the link to be disengaged from a hook - shaped projection on the sear. The invention further consists in adapting the spring sear and the ejector spring to be inserted in the base of the mainspring, the seating of which forms the base-plate of the magazine. The trigger 1, Fig. 1, is pivoted on the pin 2 and actuates a link 3, which carries a pin 3', adapted to engage a hook - shaped projection 4<1> on the spring-sear 4. The link 3 passes through a recess 16 in the ejector 12, Fig. 4, the movements of which' are thereby limited by those of the link, which is guided in a groove in the casing. In the firing position, the shoulders 12<1> of the ejector 12 are pressed by the spring 13 into a recess 17<1> in the underside of the breech-block, and the pin 3' on the link 3 engages the hook 4<1> on the sear 4, while the full-cock notch of the hammer 8 engages the nose 5 of the sear. At the commencement of the recoil, the ejector is pressed down by the underside 17 of the breech-block, carrying the link 3 with it, and disengaging the pin 3' from the hook 4<1>. The sear nose 5 is thereby left free to engage the hammer notch, thus avoiding double shots. The trigger is brought back to its normal position, as the breech - block recoils, by the pressure of the breech-closing spring 18. The ejector spring 13 and the spring sear 4 are inserted in the base of the mainspring 11, which is extended to form the base of the magazine.
