Patent GB-190428157-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Actuating Apparatus for Magneto Electric Spark Ignition Apparatus and the like.
Inventor: UNTERBERG GUSTAV ADOLF
Filed: 1904-12-22
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 28,157. Unterberg, G. A. Dec. 22. Dynamos, driving.-In dynamos used for firing the charge in internal-combustion engines, a rapid movement of the armature is obtained, even when the engine is running slowly, by driving the armature through a spring coupling, and stopping it at definite intervals, so that, when released, it moves very quickly on account of the torsion of the spring. This may be done by fixing the armature shaft, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, to a disc 1 which is connected to the disc 3, sliding freely on the shaft, by a spring 4. The disc 1 is provided with a slot 6 in which the pin 7 on the disc 3 engages, and also with two pins 8, 8, which are pressed by springs, or by the lever 11 pressing on their tevelled heads, into two recesses 10, 10 in the disc 3. If the hand-actuated lever 11 be in the lower position shown, and the driving-disc 3 be slowly revolving, the end 12 catches one of the pins 8 and holds the armature still, and the disc 3 continues to revolve and twist the spring ; when, however, the recesses 10 come beneath the pins 8, the armature is released, and flies forward until stopped by the stud 7 in the slot 6. The catch pins may be arranged on the circumference of the disc 1 as shown in Fig. 6, where release cams 16 are formed on the wall of the channel 17, or, as shown in Fig. 8, bell-crank levers 19, 21 may be mounted on a pivot 20 on the disc 1 and arranged to engage with, or release, the notches 24 formed on the driving-wheel 3. One end of the armature may serve as one member of the coupling, the arrangement being as in Fig. 6, except that the cam channel operates on a projection on a pin 15 instead of on the head. In all the above arrangements the hand-lever 11 is thrown out of action as the engine speeds up, but in Fig. 12 the pin 29 held by the spring 31 operates by striking the stud 28 and holding the disc 1 unt the head 30 falls into the recess 32, when the armature is released ; as the engine gains speed, the pins fly out as indicated, and thus the device is automatic.

Abstract: 12,062. Fletcher, G. E. June 9. Switches.-Rheostat and motor-starting switches are constructed to avoid burning the edges of their contacts, by arranging that the necessary intermittent steps shall be made very rapidly. This is done by placing the switch contact 2, which successively joins the stud 3 with the studs 3<a>, 3<b>, 3<c>, 3<d>, on an arm 1, and connecting an extension 1<a> of this arm by a spring 1<c> to a driving- arm 4 through a tangent-wheel 4<b> carried thereby. A cranked extension 4<a> acts as a stop for the brush arm 1, which carries a pawl 6<a> forced against a roller 5 on the driving-arm 4 by a spring 6<b>; a rack 7, with as many teeth as the switch has steps to make, is placed concentrically with the supporting-pin 8. When the arm 4 is moved clockwise by the tangent-wheel 4<b>, which may be turned by a worm operated either manually or mechanically, the spring 1<c> will hold the arm 1 against the extension 4<a> until the roller 5 in its passage along the pawl 6<a> frees the pawl from the rack 7, when the spring 1<c> suddenly forces the switch contact 2 into its next position, and the apparatus is ready for the next step. Instead of a spring 1<c> being placed as described, a second extension may be placed on the driving-arm and connected to a projection on the switch arm by a spiral spring, preferably in a guide-piece, and, if desired, the tangent-wheel may be eliminated and the device operated by a handle.
