IPC: H02P1/06
Filed: 1909-09-07
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 20,413. Dusserts, D. Sept. 7. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery. -The actuating circuits of electro-magnetic clutches are controlled by a switch with three series of contacts and a single arm. The clutch windings R, R', &c. are connected between the contacts a, a<x>, &c. and earth. The contacts b, b<x>, &c. are connected to one main, and the contacts c, c<x>, &c. to the other main. The sets b, b<x>, &c. and c, c<x>, &c. are connected to earth through resistances S, T respectively. When the switch arm bridges the contacts a, b, current passes through the resistance S to the ground and also through the contacts b, a and clutch winding R to the ground. The two currents both pass through the resistance T to the other main. If the switch arm be moved forward to energize another clutch, the arm must first connect the contacts a, a<x>. Current then flows through the resistance S to the ground and to the other main by two parallel paths, one being the resistance T, the other being the clutch coil R and the contacts a, c<x>. A reverse current is thus passed through the clutch coil to neutralize residual magnetism, and this facilitates rapid changing of the clutches.
