Abstract:
A d.c. generator is connected in series opposed to the polarity of a d.c. power source supplying a d.c. drive motor. The generator is part of a motor-generator set, the motor of which is supplied from the power source connected to the motor. A generator field control means varies the field produced by at least one of the generator windings in order to change the effective voltage output. When the generator voltage is exactly equal to the d.c. voltage supply, no voltage is applied across the drive motor. As the field of the generator is reduced, the drive motor is supplied greater voltage until the full voltage of the d.c. power source is supplied when the generator has zero field applied. Additional voltage may be applied across the drive motor by reversing and increasing the reversed field on the generator. The drive motor may be reversed in direction from standstill by increasing the generator field so that a reverse voltage is applied across the d.c. motor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (10) for the incremental control of at least one first direct-current motor (12) for the cooling fan of a motor vehicle. Said device comprises a first (14) and a second current-limiting component (16), and a first (22), a second (24) and a third switching element (28). The inventive device is characterized in that the switching elements (22, 24, 28) connect the first (14) and the second current-limiting component (16) in such a manner that the cooling capacity of the cooling fan can be varied in at least four levels different from zero.

A multiple output stepped compound voltage supply includes a field intensity control which enables a DC motor control circuit to provide continuous linear or pulse modulation control among the stepped voltages in relation to the voltage output.
Abstract:
A half wave and full wave energization system for permanent magnet D.C. motors employing a hand trigger operated switch which commutates terminals of a full wave rectifier bridge when connected to a source of A.C. supply to provide selectively half wave and full wave energization of such motors when the trigger is depressed from an extended "off" position.
Abstract:
A switch for speed control of an electric motor driven vehicle employs a combination of resistance switching, field weakening and voltage switching. A mechanical switch assembly has a speed switch and a voltage switch that are interconnected so that the voltage switch provides 36 volts when the speed switch is in neutral and fifth speed position and provides 18 volts when the speed switch is in first through fourth speed positions. The speed switch has an operator controlled rotor arm that successively engages a neutral contact and five driving speed contacts so that varying resistance is inserted in circuit with the motor armature in the first two speed positions and no external resistance is employed in the third and fifth speed positions. The motor field comprises pairs of first and second oppositely disposed series wound coils with the pairs of coils all connected and energized in series in all but the fourth speed position. In the fourth speed position one pair of oppositely disposed field coils is completely disconnected while the other pair is energized to provide a higher speed at the lower voltage and a better transition between low and high voltage driving speeds.
Abstract:
A rheostatic control system for controlling the speed and the direction of rotation of a DC motor which is employed mainly for controlling the speed of an electric vehicle or the like. The system comprises a sliding-contact rheostatic unit which is provided between a DC power supply and a DC motor and which includes stationary contacts and speed controlling resistors, whereby the speed control of the DC motor is accomplished by means of the speed controlling resistors, and the rotation of the DC motor in either direction is controlled by changing the polarity of the voltage applied to the polarity changing terminals of the DC motor.
