To all whom it may concem: I
Be itknown that I, FLETCHER D. I'lALLOCK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Vi'ilkinsburg. in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Im roveinent in MotonControlling Devices, 0 which the following a' is a face view of a starting rheostat embody ing my invention, the circuit connections being also illustrated therein. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of one of the parts of the device shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a dia-' grammatic view illustrating a modification of the invention.
In Fig. 1, a starting rheostat 1 in connection with which the invention is empioyed, is one of the standard and well known forms, and comprises a pivoted switch arm 2, a series'bf stationary contact terminals 3 with which the arm 2 engages, and a resistance member 4 suitable oints oisub-division of which are connccter to'said contact terminals, the said resistance member being included in series with the armature 5 of an electric motor 6 and serving as a starting resistance therefor.
The switch arm 2 is rovided with a removable lug or button 7, in the path of movement of which is interposed a bow-spring 8 that is attached to an insulating supporting 'piece 9, which, in turn. is carried by a pivoted armature 10 for an electro-ma net 11 havfl ing an energizin winding 12, the armature 10 being normally maintained in the position shown by means of a s ring 13. One terminal of the magnet winding 12 is connected toa switch member 14 that is carried by the armature 10 and is adapted to engage a stationary switch member 15 to which a terminal v16 of the rheostatis connected. The other terminal of the magnet winding 12 is connected to terminal 17 of the rheosta-t which, in turn, is connected to one terminal I 18 of a rheostat 19 that is included n series circuit with shunt field magnet winding 20 of the motor 6, one terminal of the said winding being also connected to terminal 16 of the starting rheostat.
terminal of th'e'arinature 5 of the motor 6, the other terminal of the motor being con-- nected to circuitconductor 24.
It will be observed that the magnet winding 12 and the switch comprising members 14 and 15 are included in a circuit in shunt to the field rheostat 19, this circuit being established when the switch arm 2 is moved from left to right in order to effect starting of the motor by removing the resistance 4 from thearmature circuit thereof, the lug 7 thereupon engaging the spring 8 and forcing the switch ineniber14 into engagement with the mem her 15 If switch arm 26 of the field rheostat 19 occupies the position shown in full lines, when the circuit in shunt to the field rheostat is established, a comparatively small amount of current will traverse the magnet windin 12, and an insufiicicnt de reeof attraction will therefore be exerted y the magnet core 11 to maintain the armature 10 in its attracted position and the switchniembeis 14 and 15 in engagement after the lug 7 upon the switch arm 2 has moved out of engagement with the spring 8. The switch members 14 and 15 will, therefore,
be separated, and regulation of the amount of resistance in the circuit of the shunt field ma net winding 20' may be effected in the usua 1nanner by moving the rheostat arm 26 in a clockw se direction. If, however, the position of the rheostat arm 26.
is such that. the resistance of the magnet winding 12 is materially less. than lthat' included in circuit with the shunt field magnet winding .20, as, for example, that indi cated by broken lines, a relatively large 1 00 the and thereby permit movement of. the said "the spring 13 will overcome the force of atbcr (if the switch becomes disengaged from the sprin 8,! whereby the switch members 14 and 15; will be maintained in engagement. Theg field rheostat 19 is thereby shunted, andi adjustment of the field strength of the motor cannot then be effected by further movement of the 'rlieostatarm 26 in a clockwise direction, unless and until the isaid arm is first returned in a.countcrclockwise direction to a position such that resistance of the. magnet winding 12; inav not be greatly in excess of the i'esistance introduced in the shunt field circuit by the rheostat 19. ..Under such conditions,
traction exerted by the magnet ll upon the armature 10, and the switch members 14 and 15 will thereupon become disengaged. Adjustment of the amount of resistance in the shunt field circuit may then be effected as usual, by movement of the rheostat arm 26 in a clockwise direction.
In Fi l, the switch governing the. shunt to the held resistance is operated directly by movement of the switch arm 2, but in the arrangement shown diagrammatically in Fig. 3, it is necessary to manually close aswitch 28 by means of a handle 29 in order that a hook 30 carried by the movable mem- 28 may be disengaged from a post 31 carried by a switch arm 32 switch arm from left to right for the pur-' pose of removing resistanceirom the arma-, ture circuit. It will be understood that the switch 28 will remain closed so long as the resistanceintroduced in the circuit by the field rhcostat 33 materially exceeds the resistance of the retaining magnet-winding 34 for the said switch 28 and that the operation of the system of Fig. 3 is otherwise substantially like that of Fig. 1.
it 'will be understood that structural details may be varied otherwise than as specifically indicated without departing from my invention;
