Abstract: 19,747. Lister, J. T. Sept. 5. Systems of charging and discharging galvanic batteries.-Relates to an automatic switching system by which storage batteries A, B are connected alternately to a generator D for charging purposes, and to the motor C of a vehicle, for discharge. The double-throw switch G that effects the connexions is drawn so as to bridge one set of contacts G<2> by a coil G<7>, This connects the negative side of the motor through leads 11, 12, 13 to the negative side of the battery A. Simultaneously, the throw of the switch contact J<1>, which is connected permanently to the negative side of the machine D, connects the machine through the contact J<3> and the lead 15 with the negative side of the battery B. All the positive terminals of the machines and batteries being connected together, the battery A discharges while the battery B is charged. The switch is drawn in the other direction by a coil G<6>, and connects the battery A to the generator and the battery B to the motor. The actuation of the switch G is rendered automatic and dependent upon the voltage of the batteries, by placing the circuits of the coils G<6>, G' under the control of relay switches H, I. The cores of these switches are raised by coils H<2>, I<2>, respectively, when the voltage of the batteries is sufficient, and when down, each bridge H<4>, I<4> closes contacts H<1>, I<1>, and completes the circuit of one or other of the tractive coils of the switch G. An electromagnetic latch K is provided on each switch H, I, and is interlocked with the other switch by means of contacts K<2> controlled by bridges on the switch plungers. The latches ensure that one switch is down when the other switch is up. The circuits of the coils G<6>, G' are completed through leads 18, 20, which pass to the fingers of a master drum F. Segments f', f<2> on the drum allow energization of the coils only when the controller is in the first position. By using additional leads to connect the terminals of the machines to the other contactfingers, the drum, in the second position, connects the battery A definitely to the motor and the battery B to the charging - generator as long as the operator may choose, and, in the third position, reverses these connexions. Additional segments f<9>, f<10> are provided in the fourth position for joining together all the negative leads, thus paralleling all the sources of supply on to the motor terminals. The latter operation may be effected in two steps instead of one.
