PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Dynamo Electric or Magneto Electric Generators
for Signalling or Medical Purposes.
I HENRY BINKO of 34 Leadenhall Street, E.C. in the City of London
Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Magneto generators for signalling or medical purposes are so constructed, that
in order to produce a current, the electro magnet, armature or the permanent
magnet is rotated by means of turning a handle, or as in the case of a French
invention a pendulum movement is arranged. The first method is very troublesome
in working, and by the second method no powerful current can be produced. This
applies equally to the alternating generators where an alternating current is
produced by moving the armature quickly right and left so as to pass both poles
of the permanent magnet.
My endeavour was to construct an instrument which works casily and still be
able to give a powerful continuous current.
My improvement consists in providing a magneto generator with a substitute to
the previous stated methods with a push or pull movement (externally similar to
such as used in electric bell systems working with electric batteries) to which a
straight or quadrant rack action direct or indirectly is fixed, which sets, by means of
a suitable gearing, the electro magnet or the permanent magnet in rotation at a
high speed, thereby producing a continuous and powerful current in a easy,
convenient and efficient manner.

Improvements in Dynamo Electric or Magneto Electric Generators
for Signalling or Medical Purposes.
I, HENRY BINKO 34 Leadenhall Street E.C. in the City of London Electrical
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
DYNAMO ELECTRIC OR MAGNETO ELECTRIC GENERATORS, FOR SIGNALLING
OR MEDICAL PURPOSES," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Magneto generators for signalling or medical purposes are generally so
constructed that in order to produce a current, the electro-magnet, armature, or
the permanent magnet, is rotated by means of turning a handle or as in the case
of a French invention a pendulum movement is arranged. The first method is
very troublesome in working and by the second method no powerful current can
be produced. This applies equally to the alternating generators where an
alternating current is produced, by moving the armature quickly right and left so
as to pass both poles of the permanent magnet. My endeavour was to construct
an instrument which works easily, and still be able to give a powerful continuous
current.
My improvement, consists in providing "A Dynamo Electric or Magneto
Electric Generator" with a substitute to the previous stated method namely; with
a push or pull movement (externally similar to such as used in electric bell systems,
working with electric batteries) to which a straight or quadrant rack action direct
or indirectly is fixed, which sets, by means of a suitable gearing the electro magnet

page_text: or the permanent magnet in rotation at a high speed thereby producing a continuous
and powerful current in an easy convenient and efficient manner.
As examples of application of my invention I show in the drawings at Fig. 1, a
push movement by means of which the armature of the generator is rotated. "A" is
the frame of the apparatus: "B" the push: "C" the multiplying wheel:
"D" the pinion wheel: "F" the straight rack: & "E" the spring producing
the return movement of rack.
Fig. 2. shows a pull movement by means of which the armature of the generator
is rotated. "A" is the frame of the apparatus: "B" the pull: "C" the
multiplying wheel: "D" the pinion wheel: "F" the straight rack and "E"
the spring producing the return movement of the rack.
:
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A push or pull movement, by means of which the armature is rotated for the
purpose set forth.
2. A push or pully movement, with a straight or quadrant rack, which sets by
means of suitable gearing, the required parts in rotation for the purpose set forth.
3. The combination of 1 and 2 constructed substantially as, and for the purpose
set forth.
