Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 28,766. Lecoche, J. May 23, 1912. Rotary machines; brushes and collectors; commutators; field-magnets, short-circuited coils on poles of; windings.-A multipolar machine with 2n field-magnet poles A... H, Fig. 1, has an armature provided with 2(nŒp) separate poles a ... k formed by 2(nŒp) slots, p being the number of pairs of parallel circuits in the armature winding; the said armature poles are wound alternatively in opposite directions and the windings are connected to commutator segments i. According to the modification shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in which the machine is provided with eight field-magnet poles and ten armature slots, the commutator brushes J, K are revolved at a speed n+p/p times that of the armature, in the same direction (that is, 5 times the armature speed in this modification), or n -p/p times the armature speed, in the opposite direction. The brushes may be rotated from the armature shaft by toothed, chain, or other gearing. Toothed gearing l, m, n, o is shown, and the brushes J, K are electrically connected with the sliprings L, M, the current from which is collected by brushes N, O. The wheels m, n are attached to their spindle by two sliding keys, one of which, p, is parallel with the spindle and the other of which, q, is at an angle, so that, by sliding the spindle to the right or left by means of lever r and screw s, the relative angle of the two wheels and the brushes can be adjusted while the machine is running. A lever t and screw serve for adjusting the pressure of the brushes. To prevent fluctuations of the fieldmagnet flux when a pole of the armature approaches a pole of the field-magnet, a shortcircuited winding w is provided on each fieldmagnet pole. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which, in place of two revolving brushes, 2n fixed brushes P ... W (in the present case eight) are used. On one side these are in contact with the commutator X and on the other side with a revolving ' collector ' Y carrying two copper segments Z on a cylinder of insulating material, the segments Z being connected to collecting - rings. To prevent the shortcircuiting of some of the armature coils when they are under a high electromotive force, idle or inactive segments (shown in Fig. 3 by circular shading) may be interposed between the live or active commutator segments (shown in white). According to further modifications, gearing for revolving the brushes is dispensed with, and commutators are employed with increased numbers of active and idle segments; the commutators and ' collectors ' may be combined into one structure, and suitable electrical connexions are then made both between the segments and to the slip-rings.

Abstract: 1376. Marks, E. C. R., [Daniels, W. S.]. Jan. 17. Fluid supply for whistles.-Relates to exhaust whistles of the kind having a gas conduit with normal free exhaust and a valve which, when closed, leaves a restricted passage for the gas to sound the whistle, and consists in forming the valve as a single straight gate which in the normal position completely isolates the whistle. Both sides of the valve form walls to direct the gas, one side to the exhaust, and the other side to the whistle. The valve preferably has a central pivot so that the gas pressures on either side of the pivot are substantially balanced, and near its pivotal axis there are operating- means which may be (1) pneumatic, (2) electromagnetic, or (3) mechanical. (1) A rod 23, Fig. 1, is pivoted at 24 to the valve 12 and is connected to a diaphragm 19 pf fabric, rubber, or metal, which is operated by pressure through a flexible tube 32 from the usual bulb. The areas of the valve 12 and diaphragm 19 are approximately equal so that the upward pressure of the gas on the diaphragm through the aperture 33 is nearly equal to the pressure on the valve. In a modification, Fig. 2, the valves 12<1> is centrally pivoted to balance the exhaust pressure, which is not communicated to the diaphragm. (2) The valve 5, Fig. 12, pivoted at 8, is connected by a link 390 to a plunger 140 fixed to the armature 160, which is held up by a spring. The armature' is moved by current through a fine winding 170 and a heavy winding 190, but is held down by the action of the winding 170 only, the winding 190 being cut out by the contacts 240, 250 near the end of the stroke. (3) The valve 5, Fig. 9, is connected by the part 6 to a link 9 carried to within reach of the driver. To dislodge any carbon deposit, a roller 100, more or less corrugated, may be placed in the tube 2, as shown, or on the end of the valve 5. The valve shown in Fig. 2 may be operated by hand or foot by means of a cable 54 attached to a lever 50, which engages a slot in a block 29<1> on the rod 23'.
