Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 20,820. Chitty, H. Sept. 28. Cooling and ventilating; field magnets. -The field magnets of generators, motors, rotary transformers, and the like are provided with bridge-pieces 3, Fig 1, of good magnetic permeability, between adjacent pole tips, with a cross-section increasing from the leading to the next trailing tip, as shown. A contracted neck 4 is formed in the leading side of each pole 1, by piercing the pole transversely to the line of rotation, the hole 5 extending partly or completely through the pole, or by means of a slot extending inwards from the pole face, in either case the slot being left open or else filled with non-magnetic material. In this way the distribution of the magnetic flux between the pole tips is controlled, for the purpose of securing a fixed position for the brushes and sparkless commutation over a much greater range of load. Machines, such as traction motors, required to rotate in either direction, have a contracted neck 4 in both sides of the pole-pieces, while the bridge-piece 3 has substantially the same cross-section at either end. Figs. 4 and 5 show a convenient form of bridge-piece for machines having a constant direction of rotation, as in Fig. 1. At the ends 9 the cross-section is much smaller than at the ends 8, as shown. Ventilation holes 10, also increasing in size from the ends 8 to the ends 9, may be provided, preferably in lines parallel to the direction of rotation, so as to offer no obstruction to the air issuing from the ventilation ducts in the armature. Screws or wedges 11 bearing against the field coils 12, or dowel-pins or screws 13 between the bridge and pole-pieces, maintain the bridge-pieces in position. A machine constructed as above will operate as a motor without having any field-magnet windings, the armature exciting its own field.

Title: Apparatus for the Manufacture of Sheet Glass.
Inventor: ROWART EUGENE
Filed: 1904-04-22
Granted: 1904-06-02
Abstract: 9295. Rowart, E., and Francq, L. April 27, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Drawing.-Relates to means for making molten glass into sheets, by solidifying it as it is raised from a crucible of the molten glass. The molten glass is contained in a crucible t, placed in a chamber e, in which air is maintained under pressure by means of a pipe m, communicating with a reservoir of compressed air. A sheath c, depending from the top of the chamber e, supports a slab h of refractory material, having a long narrow central opening s, in which are fitted two plates i of graphite, having rounded edges, at a distance apart corresponding to the thickness of the sheet of glass to be produced. Within the sheath c is a casing containing a central chamber k, communicating through the opening s with the chamber e; around the chamber k, two side compartments l are formed, through which compartments cooling- liquid can be circulated through openings n, o. Two vertical rods q, working through stuffing- boxes in the cover of the chamber k, support a strip of glass j<1>, adapted to be lowered into the crucible t, and afterwards drawn up through the chamber k ; the upper part of the chamber k is provided with openings p connected to an airexhausting apparatus. The crucible t is mounted on the plunger b of a hydraulic cylinder a. In operation, the plunger b is raised until the slab h dips into the molten glass, thereby sealing the connection between the chambers e, k ; the rods q are then lowered until the strip j<1> dips into the molten glass, and at the same time air is forced into the chamber e and exhausted from the chamber k, while cooling-liquid is circulated through the compartments l. The glass strip j<1>, with the adhering glass, is then raised, molten glass being forced up after it due to the difference of pressure between the chambers e, k. As the glass passes into the chamber k, it immediately solidifies, thus forming a continuous sheet of rigid glass, the crucible t being raised by the plunger b, so as to maintain the slab h in contact with the molten glass. After forming a sheet of glass the length of the chamber k, the crucible is lowered, and the rods q are further raised, with the cover of the chamber k, so as to remove the formed sheet from the chamber.
