Patent GB-190218870-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Dynamo-electric Generators
Inventor: WALKER MILES
Filed: 1902-08-28
Granted: 1903-08-06
Abstract: 18,870. Walker, M. Aug. 28. Field magnets. - Dynamo-electric generators or motors, whether direct or alternating, have poles of which the part under which the armature coils first pass is wound with a greater number of ampere turns than the remaining portion and is magnetically saturated, and are also self-regulated by the variation of the air gap of the pole-piece as the load varies. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the poles are divided into two portions 3, 4, the portion 3 being surrounded by the main magnetizing - coil 5. The portion 4 may be unwound, or a coil 8, which at 'no load' may have no current or one of opposite sign to that in the coil 5, may enclose both portions or the portion 4 only. The part 7 of the pole 3 is made of smaller cross-section, preferably by forming the poles of laminµ and cutting away some of them as shown in Fig. 2, and is preferably arranged nearest to the armature. When the generator is loaded, the armature current tends to magnetize the part 4 and demagnetize the saturated part 7, so that the total effect is to strengthen the field. The parts 4 may be arranged in another part of the same frame, or in another frame acting on an armature arranged in series with the first armature, their phase position being subsequent to that of the poles 3 by 30 to 60 degrees. The coils 5 may be arranged in series with each other and in parallel with the coils 8, which are also in series with each other, each set of coils having a rheostat. The copper between the parts 3, 4 then acts as an amortisseur. In a modification, field magnets of similar construction rotate with an armature. Fig. 5 shows a form of pole in which the position of the pole with respect to the armature is automatically adjusted as the load is put on. The pole 12 is formed of laminµ. alternate sheets being cut away at the top to allow the other sheets to be pivoted by a bolt 16 in spaces formed by cutting away the plates of the frame 13. The plates are drawn into the position shown by a suitable spring 19. When the load is put on, the attraction of the armature turns the pole 12 on the bolt 16, the motion being limited by a pin 17 and slot 18, as shown, and excessive iron loss being prevented by the movement of the tip 24 away from the armature. Fig. 8 shows a modification, in which the pole is composed of flexible plates, bent as shown, which tend to straighten when the load is put on. In another modification, the plates are straight and at the end 24 are parallel with the edge of the coil 25, so that, as the load is applied, iron loss is diminished by the enlargement of the air gap at this end. Fig. 10 shows a form in which a part 28 of the pole 12, pivoted at 29, is drawn out against the action of a spring as the load is applied, so as to increase the polar surface.

The window is of non-actinic colour, and half of it is ground, the other half being clear. G, H are pivoted shutters, to allow inspection during developing. The case is provided with a slotted transverse shaft K, on which end pieces M, connected by a bar 0, are loosely mounted. The shaft K is provided externally with a crank handle, and may be shifted longitudinally to a slight extent to produce engagement with or disengagement from one of the discs M by means of a cross-pin on the shaft and radial slots in the disc. A locking-spring is arranged on the outside to fix the disc in either position. The discs M are also provided with spring arms Y for engagement with the chains W, which are attached to the end cross-bar of an apron for supporting the film. The apron consists of a sheet T of celluoid with perforations near each edge and a thick strip of rubber sewn to each edge ; or the celluloid may be formed with a series of raised projections on each edge. The apron is, at the beginning, wound on a support consisting of two end discs a connected by a strip c, one disc being pivoted in one side of the case and the axle of the other disc being extended outwards and connected to a crank handle. The discs a are connected to the apron in a similar manner to the dics M, and are also provided with radial slots and detent-pieces h to receive and hold the axle of the spool after the spool has been placed in position, as shown in Fig. 1, and the apron and film have been rolled on to the shaft K, as shown in Fig. 2. The spool is mounted on a split spring axle notched at each end, and is placed in the vertical guides e. The spool axle or the film is pressed upon by arms m adjustably secured to a spring- controlled shaft j. The shaft has an external handle, and may be locked in its inoperative position by a hook o. Levers p are provided for releasing the detents h when the spool is to be removed. An air vent is formed in the top by a screw socket x closed by a baffle-plate z and having radial openings y above the baffle-plate.
