Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Power Transmission Systems Employing Flywheel Machines.
Inventor: SPENCE WILFRED L
Filed: 1908-01-23
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 1559. Spence, W. L. Jan. 23. Dastributing.-Relates to the electric transmission of power for colliery engines, rolling-mills, &c., wherein energy is stored in fly-wheels during periods of light load or no load. Two motors are employed, running in opposite directions and geared through differential gear to the load, which runs proportionately to the difference in speed of the motors. In the arrangement shown, two similar variable - speed motors M, N having fly-wheels F, G drive gear-wheels L, meshing with intermediate bevels I journaled in the frame of the drum D. The speed of the motors is varied by shunt regulation, which may be controlled from a distance, and the load is driven at half the difference of speed. To discharge energy, both motors are slowed down, but one more rapidly than the other, thus acting as a generator. The motors have a speed range of about two to one. The motors need not be identical, and under certain conditions one may be a constant-speed machine. The fly-wheels may be connected through electro-magnetic friction clutches, the circuit of which would be opened in case of mishap.

Patent GB-190901092-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Accumulator Substations.
Inventor: TAYLOR ALFRED MILLS
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1907-11-29
Granted: 1909-01-29
Abstract: 1092. Taylor, A. M. Nov. 29, 1907. Equalizing load; boosting.-In direct-current electric distribution systems having sub-stations, the growth of the load in the various sub-stations is provided for by successively adding battery units adapted to be charged separately when the station is growing, and subsequently connected in series for boosting purposes. The generator d driven by the motors d', d<2> is quadruple, or if required octuple, wound, and is provided with two commutators, two or four windings being brought out to each commutator. The two commutators can be connected in parallel or series, and the two windings connected as a singly re-entrant winding, thereby raising the voltage to four times its lowest value. If the field is doubled by halving the reluctance, the voltage of the machine may be further doubled, while intermediate values may be obtained by varying the field strength. When the sub-station has only one battery unit c, both motors d<1>, d<2> drive the charging-unit d; but upon the addition of a second unit, one-of the motors d<2> is disconnected and employed to drive the second charging-unit. This method is employed as the sub-station increases, until the voltage of all the units connected in series is equal to that of the bus-bars b, or when it may otherwise become desirable to connect them in series, when the armature windings are reconnected and the commutators placed in series, to multiply the voltage by four, and the machines connected as a booster on each side of the three-wire system, as shown in Fig. 2, while available sets may be employed as boosters between the bus-bars b and feeders a. The surplus energy of the batteries may be led back to the feeders a, to relieve the main generating-plant, by disconnecting the feeders a from the bus-bars b by a switch g, and interposing boosters f between the motors d<1>, d<2> and the feeders. During the period of growth of the substation, a small balancer set may be connected across the bus-bars, to relieve the balancer d<1>, d<2> which drives the generator d.

Abstract: 2138. Taylor, E. Z. Jan. 29. Feeding sheets and flat articles.-Relates to the feeding of cardboard, paper, or like disks, such as are used for the lids of milk or other bottles, to a machine in which they are printed on and treated with wax or other material for sterilizing or waterproofing. The disks are fed from a pivoted horizontal pile table fitted with plungers 24 controlled by springs &c. or by weighted cords 26 attached to bearings 25 of the plungers, the bearings being mounted on a shaft 28 carried by bearings 29, which are reciprocated against the action of springs 34 by a cam 31 and lever 30. As the bearings 29 move forwards, the plungers 24 straighten the disks in their guideway. The table is preferably fitted with adjustable side guides 23. The disks are fed by means of vertically reciprocating pushers 15 on a shaft 13 actuated from a disk 50 by means of a rod 14, which can be fitted in one of a series of holes in the disk 50 to vary the extent of the reciprocations. The pusher 15 is carried by a shaft 12 fitted with a lever 17 actuated by adjustable stops 18, 19 to trip the pusher out of contact with a disk after the feed, and to return it to normal position before the next feed. A spring pin 21 holds the shaft 12 in these two positions. The shaft 12 is similarly supported at both its ends, and the end away from the shaft 13 is driven by gearing from the shaft 13. The disk that is pushed from the pile forces the previouslyseparated disk, which is held by a spring 16, to printing-rollers 8, 9. The driving-gear for the rollers is arranged so that one or two disks may be fed for each rotation of the printing-rollers.

Title: Improvements in Alternating Current Dynamo Electric Machines.
IPC: H02K19/32
Filed: 1909-04-16
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 9048. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. June 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Dynamos, regulating.-In a polyphase alternator, in order to halve the frequency without alteration of speed, the field magnets are adapted to be excited alternately north and south, or to be changed so that a pair of north poles is followed by a pair of south and so on. To obtain normal frequency, the field magnet a, the number of poles of which is a multiple of four, is excited ordinarily so that the poles are n<1>, s<1>, n<2>, s<2>. By reversing two of the pole windings by a switch u, the order of polarity becomes n<1>, n<2>, s<1>, s<2>, and hence the frequency and the voltage approximately are halved. The starconnected armature coils are three in number, and, with rotation in the direction of the arrow, electromotive-force is generated in the order 1, 2, 3, in the first case, and is reversed in the second case ; unless therefore there be a second reversing-switch in the mains, motors supplied will reverse their direction of rotation. The unappropriated space in the stator may be filled with a second system of coils, unconnected to the first, except at the neutral point, and supplying a separato set of apparatus. The system is particularly applicable to shippropulsion, as well as the driving of rolling-mills, lifts, and traction installations.

Filed: 1909-05-07
Granted: 1910-04-28
Abstract: 10,853. Fowler, R. H., and Robinson, W. May 7. Interlocking and guarding against wrong movements and the like.-Relates to the control of c h a n g espeed gear described in Specification 1775/03, for road locomotives 'and the like, in which the operating - mechanism is interlocked so that no two gears can be engaged at the same time. In the present case two sets of gearwheels are linked to arms on a common rockshaft, while the third speed, if used, is carried by a separate rock-shaft interlocked with the first shaft by unbalanced rocking levers. Figs. 2 and 5 show the mechanism adopted for a three-speed gear. Two sets of sliding toothed wheels are linked to arms on the shaft a while the third set is linked to a separate rock-shaft b. By rocking the shaft a to either side of its central out-of-gear position, one set of gears is engaged, and during the movement the remaining set is first moved further away from its gearing position and is then returned to its out-of-gear position. The shafts a, b are interlocked by pivoted levers l, m, which are notched at their heavier ends. When either shaft is rocked, a cam - surface thereon depresses the lighter end of the corresponding lever and raises the notched end into locking engagement with a flattened portion of the other shaft. Fig. 8 shows the form of apparatus adopted for a two-speed gear. The sliding wheels are linked to a vertical rock-shaft u in such a manner that the one wheel remains in the central out-of-gear position during the rotation of the spindle to engage the other wheel.

Abstract: 15,203. Daalen, H. B. van. June 29. Controllers, actuating-mechanism for.-The controlling-arms of two or more rheostats or the like are operated independently and successively by a single lever. A spindle B carrying an operating- lever G is connected to a handle A through toothed gearing a, b. The lever G carries at its outer end two spring-pressed pawls c', c' and a depending lug k, Fig. 5. The contact arm D of the first rheostat is provided with an upwardly-projecting bevelled lug d, while the arm E of the second rheostat is provided with a similar lug e. Starting from the position of rest, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the arm G is above the rheostat arm D, and the pawl c' behind the projection d. When the arm G is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow, the pawl c' engages the projection d until it meets a bevelled surface m on a curved guide F, the pawl and projection then becoming disengaged. Upon a further rotation of the arm, the projection k engages the lug e on the arm E of a second rheostat, while the pawl c<2> rides over the inclined surface of this lug and falls behind it after the inclined surface n is passed. A further movement of the arm operates the rheostat arm E. When the arm G is moved in the reverse direction, the pawl c<2> engaging with the lug e operates the arm E until the inclined surface n is reached, when it becomes disengaged, the pawl c<1> simultaneously riding over the bevelled lug d. A further rotation of the arm G causes the projection k to engage with the lug d, thereby operating the rheostat arm D, the pawl c' falling behind the lug d. When more than two arms are operated, the projection k is arranged to be withdrawn from the path of the lugs and returned to its normal position after it has passed the next lug. The controller may be used for varying the speed of a shunt or compound wound motor, one arm varying the resistance in the armature circuit, and the other arm varying the resistance in the shunt field.
