ject and others subordinatethereto, the in.-' vention consists 1n connectlng a plurality of ma netlc cores 1n series and surrounding sai cores 'Withsleeves connected; in series and in inter osing between eachsleeve and core a coil 0 wire through which a current of hi h voltage but low. ampera e may be passe to powerfully energize the device thus produced.

Inth'e accom anyin draw1ngs,'Figure 1 is an elevation o my e ectromagnetic device and its armature 2 is a sectional eletions ofthe opposite ends ofv the structure.

Like numerals designate .cenespondi'ng parts in the several views. N 1 and 2 indicate a pair of cores'of soft iron or othersuitable material connected by a ter minal-cross-bar or' keeper 3, secured to the ends of the cores by smtablescrews The cores 1 and.2 arewound with wire, the wire,

coils 5 and 6 bein surrounded by soft iron or steel sleeves 7 and 8, which not onl protect the Wire, but serve as magnetic po es. The sleeves or shells 7 and 8 terminate at one.end in the plane of the adjacent ends of the cores 1 and 2-, but the o posite connected ends of said cores extend eyond the adjacent ends of the sleeves, so that the latter will be se arated from the cross-bar 3 b a consider'a le interval. The sleeves, like t e cores, are terminally connected, is by-a keeper or connector, in the form of a late 9, rovided with o enings 10, into whic the a jacent ends of t e sleeves or shells are fitted and rigidly secured by set-screws 11.

In order to permit the elements of the'de-..

vice to be assembled in a rigid organization with the parts-bearing the proper relation to each other, thepole- connectors 3 and 9 are connected'midway of their ends by a bolt 12 1 Specification of Letters Patent. Application and Kay 17, 1904. Serial Nozo aaea.

of non-magnetic materialas, for instance, brass.

The bolt 12'iascrewedinto a thread through a plain opening 14 inthe plate 9,

lock-nuts 15 and 16' reventing movement of the bolt relative .to t char 3 and similar nuts 17 and 18 being screwed against the opposite faces of the late 9 to prevent movement of the latter a ter the sleeves and cor'e's have been assembled in their proper relative positions; By preference, hard rubber or other suitable insulating- heads 19 and 20 are fitted and protectthe wire.

At the end of the device 0 posite the connectors 3 and 9 is located tl ie armature 21. In the drawings the armatiire is shown as a sin le piece or bar-of sof,t extended entire yacross the end of the structure. viously, however, a. 1 divided armature may be employed, or, if preferred, an armature composed of soft-iron ends and an intermeinto each of the sleeves or shells to'inclose diate connection may be utilized. It will now be apparent that the connected cores 1 and 2 constitute, in effect, a U-sha ed magnet, of which the cores constitute t e respective north and south oles. Similarly the sleeves and the connect1ng.-' late 9 constitute a U-shaped magnet having ollow oles, the

sleeve surrounding the north pole o the first named magnet constituting t e south pole of I the second magnet, the other sleeve similarly differing in polarity fromthe core surrounded b it. In other words, the device includes a p uralit of legs or branches, each comprising a plum ity o poles of unlike polarit the south pole of one magnet'being-paire with It will.

the north pole of another'magnet.

also be noted that each coil or core winding serves to energize two. dissimilar concentric" poles and that the electromagnetic-device 1 thus produced isof general U-shaped form and has each leg or branch thereof com osed of a pair of dissimilar poles associated w th an interposed wire coil and connected with those poles of the other'le or branohwhich are of I 1 oorrespondingiorm, ut of different polarity. Attention is, furthermore, directed to the fact i that by reason of the rigid connection of the durable,

of the device may be considered as separate magnets, whose poles are disposed for serial cooperation, it being immaterial, so far as the invention in itsbroader aspects is concerned,

whether these cooperating poles are actually connected in a mechanical "sense or not. Broadly,the essential feature is'that arrangement whereby a pluralityof magnets, each comprisin two members, whether connected or not, and magnetized by a coil or coils cOmmon to both members, are made to cooperate with other poles having a serial relation, so that while each magnet is in itself compoundthe several magnets'will have serial cooperatron.

I It will of course be understood that the several poles may be of soft iron or" the device may be polarized by constructing certain of the poles of steel or' by any other well known expedient. 7

- It is thought thatfrom the foregoing the construction of my electromagnetic device and the many advantages accruing there-- connectors from will be clearly apparent;.but while the present embodiment of the invention appears at this time to be referable, I desire to reserve the right to e ect such changes, modifications, and variations of the illustrated structure as may come fairly within the scope of the protection prayed.
