Granted: 1911-09-29
Abstract: 15,587. Holbech, R. H. June 29. Armatures and field-magnets, cooling and ventilating. -For cooling a high-speed alternator or other machine having revolving magnets, the rotor is provided with air spaces at the periphery and close to the shaft, both sets of which are parallel to the shaft and substantially concentric with the path of the flux, and which are used in combination with fans or other means for driving air through the machine. In the four-pole rotor shown in Fig. 1, the periphery is cut away at a and the centre is cut away at b, so as to form triangular ducts along the shaft c with curved sides approximately concentric with the portions exposed at a. The winding-grooves h are preferably radial to the cut-away parts, as shown, and the windings may be supported on cages g which are rigidly mounted on the shaft as shown in Fig. 9. Fans i may be used to force air through the ducts. In the two-pole rotor shown in Fig. 4, the central spaces b are semicircular, and complementary spaces may be formed in the shaft c, as shown in dotted lines. An external fan, a works or mill chimney, or other means may be used to propel the air, and the machine may be enclosed, as shown in Figs. 9 and 11, so as to expel the air through a central duct m, with or without side ducts k, after drawing it in through openings j, as shown by the arrows. In the form shown in Fig. 17, air enters at one end-belt p and duct j and leaves at the other, as well as from openings around the rotor. In the open type shown in Fig. 15, air enters through ducts and leaves through openings in the end bell p and stator body. When air enters at both ends, the fans are preferably curved, and the slip-rings are preferably enclosed to prevent dust from the brushes from being drawn into the machine.

Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 21,375. Rosenhain, W. Sept. 14, [Cognate Application, 7492/11]. Explosive and combustible gases, detecting.-The presence of inflammable gases or dust in an atmosphere is detected by burning in an internalcombustion engine an independent supply of fuel with air from the atmosphere under test, the presence of inflammable matter being shown by an increase in the speed or energy developed by the engine over that developed when the engine is supplied with pure air. The engine may be provided with a suction pipe to the atmosphere under test, or may be placed in such atmosphere and provided with a supply of pure air. The increase of energy developed may be indicated by providing the engine with a mechanical brake and recording dynamometer ; or the engine may drive a dynamo having a recording volt-meter or a fan having a recording pressure-gauge. The apparatus may be used for detecting leakages, for example from balloons, by providing the suction pipe with a nozzle which is passed over the surface of the balloon.

Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 28,369. Gaara, H. July 16, [Convention date]. [Addition to 19,086/10.] Steering.-Relates to means for operating the steering-planes of aeroplanes and similar machines, of the type described in the parent Specification, and in which pivoted vanes normally retained in the line of flight by the headwind are so connected to the steering-planes that, when displaced from the line of flight by the aviator, their recovery to their normal position effects the required adjustment of the steering-plane. According to the present invention, the vane is pivoted upon an arm secured to a rotary shaft which lies in the line of flight, so that, when the vane is set at an angle to the line of flight, the shaft is rotated so as to operate the steering-plane. In the form shown in Fig. 1, one or more vanes 1 are pivoted on arms 2 mounted on a shaft 3, which operates a steering-plane 11 by a cord 10. The vanes 1 are adjusted by means of arms 8, links 7, and a sliding sleeve 6 operated by a lever 5. Means are provided for restoring the vanes 1 to the line of flight when the required adjustment of the plane 11 has been made, and may comprise a connexion between the lower end 12 of the lever 5 and the cord 10, as shown. In a modified form, Fig. 3, the shaft 3 has screw engagement with a fixed nut 15 so that its rotation is accompanied by an axial movement, which both returns the vanes 1 to the line of flight and is used for operating the steering- plane by means of cords 23, 24. In a further modification, a duplicate set of vanes of smaller size than the vanes 1 may be first adjusted by the aviator, the rotation caused by such adjustment being then employed to move the sleeve 6 of the vanes 1.

Abstract: 20,709. Price, W. A. Sept. 19. Alternating-current induction machines.-The current passing through an induction machine connected to a source of direct current through a reversing commutator is regulated by connecting together the rotor and commutator by mechanical or other equivalent connexion so as to maintain definite relations between the speed of the rotor and the frequency of the alternating currents. The commutator and rotor shafts may be geared together through ordinary toothed wheels, and the current thereby maintained constant through a large range above and below synchronism. If the shafts be ,connected together by epicyclic gearing so as to maintain a constant difference between their speeds the current taken by the motor will be inversely proportional to the speed. The commutator c may be driven by an independent auxiliary motor r, by changing the speed of which the induction motor M may be controlled. In order to keep the difference in the speeds of the axles A, a small, they are connected together by straight and crossed belts, the pulleys p<1>, q<1> running on opposed free-wheel clutches and the pulleys p<1>, q being smaller .than the pulleys p, q<1>. In order to start up the induction motor, the mechanical connexion must be such as to permit of the commutator being run independently of the rotor.
