T0 l w7b0m it m y wlwern: the driving-axle, so that it revolves there- Be it known that I, SIDNEY H. SHORT, of with and thus does not require any special Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and journals. State of Ohio, have invented certain new and By means of the present invention, there- 5 useful Improvements in Electrically Profore, it will be perceived that the connection pelled Cars or Vehicles; and I do hereby deof the motor with r the car may be made of clare the following to be a full, clear, and exact the simplest possible description, hardly any description of the invention, such as will enamechanism being required outside of motor ble others skilled in the art to which it apperand the car itself. It will also be under- 6c I0 tains to make and use the same. stood, however, that the invention extends This invention relates to cars or wheeled generally to constructions involving one or Vehicles which are Propelled y one more more of, the features or combination of feaelectric motors and in which the armatures tures indicated, notwithstanding some furof said motors are axially mounted on the ther mechanism may be employed in such 15 driving-axles and are directly secured thereconstructions.

Y field-magnets are arranged at the sides of the A furtherpart of the invention consists in 3o armature, so that their movement in vertical employing commutator-brushes mounted on planes effects less variation in the interior a non-rotative support on the armature-shaft space of the motor. It is evident that difierin connection with the field-magnets mounted ent modifications of this general arrangeon springs or buffers independently of the ment may be made; but what is considered armature. Such support is preferably con- 3 5 the best form involves also the following speuectecl with the field-magnets or the fieldcial featuresthat is to say: First, the fieldmagnet frame in such a way that it is held magnet support is upheld by the ordinary in position thereby while not interfering with journal-boxes, so that no special journals are the movements thereof on the springs or necessary for said support; second, the fieldbuffers.
4o magnet support is upheld by the same springs The term non-rotative as applied to the which uphold the car-body, so that the effect commutator-brushes will be understood as of said springs of easing the jolting is obnot excluding more or less turning back and tained for the field-magnets; third, the fieldforth for adjustment or other purposes. magnets are fastened under the car-floor, so In the accompanying drawings, which form 45 that not only are the ordinary journals and a part of this specification, Figure l is a par springs made available for the field-magnets, tial view in vertical longitudinal section of but little or no special framing even is rean electrically-propellcdcar constructedinacquired therefor; fourth, in connection with cordance with the invention, and Fig. 2 is a field-magnets supported, as indicated above, partial view of the same'in transverse sec- 50 in one or more of the preceding sections, an tion.
armature is employed which is mounted on The armature A of the propellingmotor is shown as mounted fast (by means of a key, for example) on the driving-axle B, whose ends outside the wheels 0 turn in journalboxes D in pedestals fastened to the 'carbody E, which rests on springs F, all in the ordinary way. Any known or suitable arrangement may be adopted. The armature A is thus not only mounted axially with reference to the driving-axle B,but it is mounted thereon, no journal-bearings being necessary for the armature.
The fieldmagnets G, as shown, project from the yokes H and K at the sides of the armature parallel with the driving-axle B. These yokes are provided with openin s 2 for the passage of the driving-axle B, and are connected'by the arm L which is bolted to the floor-beams of the car. Thus the fieldmagnets are supported by the ordinary journals and the ordinary springs of the car, and are capable of moving on the said springs independently of the armature. The field-magnets shown comprise four poles; but the like arrangement of magnets projecting from the yokes which are provided with openings for the passage of the driving-axle may be used with atwo-pole machine.
The commutator M is mounted on the driving-axle B, and the commutator-brushes N and P are mounted on a support Q, journaled on said axle and held from rotation by means of the connection R with the field-magnets G. The connection shown consists of an arm which plays freely through a longitudinal slot in a wrist-pin R on the bracket S, fastened to yoke H. v
The coils of the field-magnet and armature may be connected in any desired way and may be supplied with electricity from any suitable source on or outside the car. Instead of having the field-magnets non-rotative, it is evident thatthese-might rotate and the armature be held from rotation by a mounting on the car-body, as herein indicated for the fieldmagnets, these being mon nted fast on the driving-axle B. In the preceding description the fieldmagnets have been described as upheld by the ordinaryjournals of the car in connection with a spring-mounting for such field-magnets. It is evident, however, that the advantage of not having to provide special journals for the field-magnets is not necessarily dependent upon the spring-mounting; and the invention extends to a car-motor in which the field-magnets are upheld by the ordinary journals irrespective of the spring-mounting of said magnets, as well as in connection with such mounting. Moreover, the brush-support on the commutator-shaft is included generally in connection withfield-magnets not perfectly rigid.
