s mmmmm forming part of Letters recent Ito 265,783, dated October 10, 1882.
- application filed August H, lfll. ,(No mudt-l.)
To all irhomyi-t may concern:
, Be it known thatI, THOMAS A. Entsom of lll'enlo'larlt, in the county of Middlesex and State oi New. Jersey,have invented a new and useful improvement in Means for .lte'g'ulating Electrical Generators, (Case 'No. 461;) and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing, and to the letters ot'ret'erence marked thereon.
The objectof the present invention is to produce means for automatically regulating the generative capacity of dynamo or magneto electric machines, which means will be simple and compact in construction, avoiding the use of bulky resistances, and, further, willhe cilicient in operation, regulating'both forchang'es in the speed of the-engine and in-the number w The means are applicable more especially to dynamo or magneto electric machinessupplying lamps, inoto rs, or other translating devices arranged 'in independentmnltiple arc circuits. The object is accomplished by the'use ot a peculiar circnitbrcaher located in the field-circuit of the machine and controlled by an electromagnet another electrical controlling deviec'arranged 'in-xuultiplej-arc and affected the same as the lamps by variations in electrofinotive force caused byehanges in the speed of the onme as well as by changes-in the" number of translating devices.
In carrying out the inventiontherc is uscda' revolving cylindrical circuit-breaker, which is divided up between'metal and insulation on a plane arranged obliquely to the axis of rotation, the insulation and'metal having a tapering shape. By this construction the circuitbreaking cylinder .is made to present in revolving various proportions of insulation and metal at diiferen't points ot'itsilength. At one end of the cylinder theinsulation predominates largely, while towurd the other end the insulation regularly diminishes to a point. This end of the cylinder has preferably a band of metalextcuding ent 'ely around the cylinder, upon which rests a stationary brush or spring.- A'inovable brush is carried by a pivoted bar, and rests upon the cireuitdn'eaking cylinder at points varying from the stationary brush to the other end of the cylinder. This pivoted the retarding iorce oi the air.
bar is moved bytwo elcctro-magnctsarrangedr on opposite sidesof its pivot, audits movement is retariledai-ld made regular by means of one or two reciprocatin,1 dash-pot plungers, which are preferably of large area aud worlr against The circuits 0t: these eiectro-magnets are made and brokenat tllQCOlltflCY-S ot' the armature-lever of an elec- 'tro-magnet.arrangedinmultiple are, or by a c thermostatic device, sothat the movable brush or spring will be adjusted upon the breakingcylindcr andwillheep thctlcld-eircuit open .more or lessot'the time, according to whether the electro-inotive force is above or below the y 6 normal limit.
The tbregoing will-be better understood by reference to thedrawing, which. illustrates an apparatus embodying theinvention, the arma- 'ture ot'the generator being separated from the A is'therevolving armature of a dynamo 'or magneto eleetric'machine, and- B the commutna'gnet for clearucss ot' illustratator-cylinder of the same, upon which rest the 7 commutator-brushes a, I), connected with the main conductors 1 53.
O represents lamps, motors, or other translatingdevices, arranged in separate multiplearc circuits from 1 2. D is thefield-of-t'orce electronnagnet'of the generator.
E-is a revolving circu t-breaking cylinder, divided between metal 0 and insulation (1 on a plane oblique to the axis'of rotation',.thc metal and insulation having a tapering form, as'' shown, and the metal t'orming'a complete hand at its large end. This circuit-breaking cyliin der may be mounted upon thearmature-shaft, as
Sll0WI1,D1f it may been aseparateshaft worked 0 from any moving part 'of the generator or en,
'vginc, or it conldjbc revolved by a small eleptromotor or by a spring or weight-operated mech anism. 'A stationary brush or spring, 6,
rests upon the band of metal at the eudof c,- 5 while a movablebruslnf, rests upon the cylinder E, between the brush 0 and the other end. of the cylinder. This movable brushj'is carried by a centrally-pivoted bar, F,-the position of which is controlled by two' clectro-magnets,

The bar F is connected with one or more reciprocating dash-pot; plungers, l, which are preferably ot: large area. andyvorl; against the resisting'forcc of the airin cylinders L Sol aro onergizeii-froin any 2 nos closed on ons or both ends suitable s innlliplc-nrc circuit Zhoir licwno nseai for tho purpose.
