Abstract: 14,186. Kallmann, M. June 11. [Addition to 16,292/05.] Systems for continuous-current motors only.- In control systems where resistances with high temperature coefficients, such as the ' variators ' described in the parent Specification, are used for starting, safety switches are provided to short-circuit or cut out a part or the whole of the motor circuit. The variators' V, Fig. 1, are connected in series with nickelin resistances W<1>, W<2> with low temperature-coefficients, the latter W<2> of which has about the same resistance value as the 'variators.' When the resistance W<1> is cut out during starting, and the 'variators' begin to rise in temperature, a small increase in the voltage is absorbed by the resistance W<2>. With a continued excess voltage across the ' variators,' the coil N is energized sufficiently to operate the relay R and close the switch to short-circuit the ` variators.' The switch is then held closed by the winding K. The relay may shunt a resistance across the ' variators.' and the resistance steps may be controlled by electro-magnets. An arrangement for the control of three-phase motors is shown in Fig. 3. ' Variators ' are connected with small auxiliary resistances in the circuit of the rotor B, and the coil of a relay R is shunted across one of the ' variators.'

Stamps, ore and like. - In pneumatic ore-stamps, hammers, &c., the pressure in the lower end of the stamp cylinder 5, Fig. 1, is kept above atmospheric pressure, and the space between the stamp piston 3 and the actuating- piston 17 is put into communication with the space at the lower end of the cvlinder. A hole 25 of small bore extends through the piston 3, and the lower closed end of the jacketed cylinder 5 communicates by a passage 15 and pipe 14 with a compressed - air receiver 13. The actuating - piston is adjustably secured to the cross-head 18 by means of a screwed rod 19 and nut 20, to compensate for the wear of the stamp &c. The passage 25 may be extended in loop form down the stamp stem 1 to a part of the stem which is always external to the cylinder and there be fitted with a screw plug, to regulate the flow of air through it. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the piston 17 is made of considerable length and is supported by guides, the connecting-rod 23 being secured to a bush 28 which can be adjusted within the piston by a screw 29 engaging a lug 31 on the piston. The upper end of the piston is slotted and fitted with a bolt 33 to clamp it to the bush 28. Instead of forming a passage through the stamp piston, a passage 25 may be formed in the cylinder wall and provided with several outlets 36 or with a slot. The passage 25 may be divided at its lower end into two branches 25<a>, 25<b>, which re-unite at 25<c> and are fitted with valves 37, 40 to allow the compressed air to pass in both directions. Or valved passages may be provided in the piston 3. By adjusting the springs of the valves, the quantity or mean pressure of the fluid between the pistons 3, 17 may be adjusted to suit varying working conditions. The space above the piston 17 may be connected to a branch of the pipe 14 or to a separate air receiver, so as to maintain a constant pressure above the piston. The stamp piston and the actuating-piston may work in separate cylinders. Fig. 7 shows the piston 17 working in a cylinder which mav be cast integral with the cylinder 5; the air body by which the motion is transmitted is formed between the upper side of the stamp piston 3 and the piston 17, a slot 48 allowing the air to pass to and fro. An adjustable piston or plug 49 is provided to maintain the cylinder volume above the piston 3, and air is supplied by a, pipe 14<c> to the space above the plug to relieve the pressure on the adjusting-screw 50.
