Title: Improvements in a Single-phase Alternating Current Series Motor.
Inventor: LATOUR MARIUS
Filed: 1906-06-27
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 14,696. Latour, M. June 28, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motors, alternating-current; sparking, preventing. -Sparkless commutation in a single-phase compensated series motor is obtained by impressing upon a local circuit containing the armature or induced member a voltage, having one component in phase with the supply voltage and consisting of a portion of the current source, and another component dependent in phase on the motor current, and consisting of a portion of the main field winding, the resultant impressed voltage being in opposite phase to that of the main motor current. The motor armature A, Fig. 2, is connected in series with the field F and the compensating-winding C across the secondary of the transformer T or other source of alternating current. An intermediate point of the field magnet F is connected by the conductor c to an intermediate point upon the secondary of the transformer T. By suitably adjusting the relative numbers of turns of the field and transformer, a resultant voltage is obtained in the closed circuit which is of opposite phase to the main motor current and produces, with the induced current in the armature, a commutating-field of correct phase. The armature, rotating in this commutating-field, generates a voltage which neutralizes the induced voltage in those armature coils which are short-circuited by a brush. By varying the two components of the voltage in the closed circuit, allowance being made for the shifting of the field F by the current flowing in the part of the field winding used in the shunt circuit, the motor may be adjusted for sparkless commutation over speeds higher than synchronism. Instead of using a portion of the winding F in the local circuit, a series transformer S, Fig. 3, or other suitable source may be used to produce the commutating-voltage.

Title: Improvements in Means for Latching the Change-speed and Reversing Mechanism of Automobile Vehicles.
Filed: 1906-10-22
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 23,416. Soc. Anon. d'ElectricitÚ et d'Automobiles Mors. April 27, [date applied for under Patents Act 1901]. Link-work.-Relates to operating-mechanism for change-speed gearing in which each of the sliding gear members is controlled by a separate push-rod, and consists in mechanism for selecting the desired push-rod-and operating it, the other push-rods not actually in operation being locked. The three rods A, B, C, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, are arranged concentrically to the axis of the spindle D, which is mounted in a support E. The spindle carries a tooth d adapted to engage in the transverse notches in the rods, one of the rods being thus selected by an angular adjustment of the spindle, and operated by a longitudinal movement. The angular and longitudinal adjustments of the spindle D are effected by longitudinal and angular adjustments respectively of the sleeve H connected to the hand-lever h moving in a gate quadrant. The rods not in operation are locked by a circular rib f engaging the notches in the rods, the rib f being formed on a sleeve F which rotates with the spindle D, but is prevented from moving longitudinally. The rib is cut away to form a notch in line with the tooth d and thus allow movement of the selected rod. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also three other arrangements in which the rods are placed in the same plane. In the form shown in Figs. 5 and 7, the arm K secured to the sleeve H selects and operates any one of the rods A, B, C, while sectors k<1> concentric with the axis of the shaft I engage with similarly curved portions j of the inoperative rods so as to lock them. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the inoperative rods are locked by spring-pressed plungers N. In a similar form, the plungers instead of being controlled by springs are moved in and out by arms loosely mounted on the sleeve H. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 1499. Manders, H. Jan. 21. Electricity, administering.-Continuous electric oscillations produced by the Duddell circuit are rendered safe for therapeutic application by means of suitable modifications of the generating-circuit, or by special methods of application, whereby metallic connexions between the patient and the main source of electricity is avoided. When the ordinary circuit, shown in Fig. 3, is used, the electrodes are connected to the self-induction A through condensers b, or condenser electrodes may be employed. The patient may be connected to one electrode as described, the other being connected to earth. A modified generating-circuit is shown in Fig. 9, the selfinduction A being arranged between two condensers B. A syntonized induced-current circuit may be employed as shown in Fig. 7. The oscillations produced are administered by electrodes connected near the ends of the self-induction A, the remaining coils being bridged ; either one or two electrodes connected to the patient may be used, or one may be connected to the patient, the other to earth. The patient may be enclosed within a solenoid, or may be connected to one electrode, the other consisting of a sheet of metal placed beneath an insulating-mattress on which the patient reclines. For local action, an electrode is attached to one extremity of the self-induction, which in this case is arranged so that its retardation is great compared with that due to the capacity of the condensers.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Surface Condensers
Inventor: ALBERGER LOUIS ROSS
Filed: 1907-08-01
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 17,587. Alberger, L. R. Aug. 1. Elastic fluid turbines. - Vaporization of the heated circulating water is prevented in surface condensers of the type in which the cooling-water is circulated by a pump 10 through a balanced system. For this purpose, the ascension pipe 11 is carried to the top of the condenser, while the descension pipe 18 communicates with the base of the condenser, thus shortening the descending column of water and minimizing the reduction of pressure which would otherwise give rise to vaporization. The circulating water passes through the condenser in a zigzag path, the steam being admitted by an inlet 2 in the base and the air and gases being drawn off by a pipe 6 at the top. In this way, the circulating water reaches its highest temperature and the air and gases their lowest, immediately before they leave the condensers.

Title: Improved Means for Controlling Mechanism Operating Rheostats and the like.
Inventor: POOLE WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1907-09-04
Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 19,738. Poole, W. J. Sept. 4. Clutches.-An e I e c t r o-magnetic clutch acting at the edge of a rotating disk imparts rotation to a spindle or arm operating rheostats and the like, the movement and duration being determined by the application or interruption of a weak relay current, so that sparking and burning of contacts is avoided, and condensers and the like rendered unnecessary, owing to the small self-induction of the coils. Electro-magnets D', D', of the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, are carried by a light arm C' at the same or opposite sides of the disks A<1>, A<2>, preferably of annealed cast iron or with only the rims of this metal, the rims being wedge-shaped to give greater contact and to retain the magnets in position. The disks are rotated in opposite directions by separate pulleys B, or by one pulley gearing between both disks, so that with the arm C<2> secured to a spindle C excitation of either magnet D<1> or D' will rotate the spindle C in the desired direction. The magnets D', D<2> are connected to contact-rings E', E', to which are secured leading wires H', H<2>, the coils D<1>, D<2> being also earthed through the carrying frame A or otherwise. In order to reduce friction, the whole or part may be immersed in an oil bath. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the power required is very small but a very quick movement is necessary. Only one magnet D<1> is used on an arm C<2> which may conveniently form also the rheostat contact arm, rotation in one direction being obtained by a spring N<1> and adjusting-screw N<2>. The clutch in any form is used to control the output of a dynamo with widely varying speed and load. A rheostat is used in series or parallel with the field winding, and in the main circuit a solenoid is used to make or break the circuit of the magnets of the clutch, which actuates the rheostat to throw resistance in or out of the dynamo field circuit.
