a corporation of Delaware Application February 23, 1933, Serial No. 658,032
In Germany 9 Claims.
This inventionmelates to a system for eliminating radio interference and more particularly to asystem for preventing the propagation of high frequency disturbances by dynamo electric 5 machines.
One object of the invention is to prevent electric motors of household appliances from interfering with radio reception.
Another object is to provide a protective means for portable household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, floor polishers, and the like.
A further object is to provide a simple, safe and a convenient device for the above purpose.
The invention also consists in certain new and original features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.
Although the novel features believed to be characteristic of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto, the invention itself, as to its objects and advantages, and the manner in which it may be carried out, may be better understood by referring to certain preferred embodiments thereof which are shown in the accompanying drawing for purposes of illustration only.
Of the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of one embodiment of the invention, and
Figs. 2 to 7 inclusive are diagrammatic representations illustrating various modifications thereof.
Like reference characters denote like parts in the various figures.
In the following description and in the claims various details will be identified by specific names for convenience but they are intended to be as generic in their application as the state of the art will permit.
Referring to the drawing, l designates a housing which may consist of, for example, the housing of a household appliance such as a vacuum cleaner, floor polisher or the like. Located with-. in this housing and'electrically insulated therefrom is an electric motor having an armature l'l brushes l2 and field coils l3 which are shown, by way of example, as connected'in series relationship. The motor is connected to a line l by which current is supplied thereto. A suitable switch 25 may be included for controlling the operation of the motor.
An impedance, such as a pair of condensers I4, is connected across the brushes l2 of the motor and is enclosed in a metallic casing I! which is adapted to provide an electrostatic shield.
A second impedance, such as a condenser is, is connected across the line l5 and across the field coils l3. This condenser I6 is also enclosed in a suitable metallic casing l8 similar to the casing II. It is to be understood that casings l1 and I8 may be insulated from each other and March 7, 1932 are insulated from the housing III. For convenience, the condensers I which are connected across the brushes [2 will be hereinafter designated as brush condensers whereas the condenser l6 which is connected across the line l5 will be designated as the field or line condenser.
The condensers l4 and I6 are connected to casings l1 and I8 in various ways, as will be hereinafter described, either directly or through pro- .tective condensers, to form a protective circuit which is adapted toconstitute a high frequency by-pass, or a high frequency filter to prevent high frequency disturbances due, for example, to improper commutation or sparking atthe brushes, from being transmitted to the line or to the ex terior, and thereby interfering with radio reception.
In the form of the invention illustrated in Figure 1, thecondensers M are connected in series and the midpoint thereof is connected to the housing l8 of the line condenser I6.
Referring to the modifications of the invention illustrated in the other figures, Fig. 2 shows the mid-point of the brush condenser l4 connected to the casing I! which surrounds said condenser. In Figure 3 the casings I'! and I8 are interconnected and the brush condenser I4 is connected to the casing H. In Fig. 4, the casing 18 is grounded externally of housing I0 througha protective condenser l 9 and the brush condenser I4 is connected to said casing l8.
In the form illustrated in Figure 5, the brush condenser I4 is connected to the casing l8 through a protective condenser 28 and the line condenser I6 is formed in two sections which are interconnected, the mid-point being connected to the casing ll through a protective condenser 29.
In Figure 6, the casings I1 and I8 are interconnected, the brush condenser H is connected to the casing 11 through a protective condenser 30 and the line condenser I6 is connected to the casing l8 through a protective condenser 3|.
In the form of the invention illustrated in Figure 7, condensers l4 and I6 are both enclosed in a single metallic casing 20 to which the condenser ll is connected through a protective condenser 2|.
In the form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 4-7, it is to be understood that one or more of the protective condensers l9, 2| and 28 to 3| may be omitted and one or more of the casing connections in Figs. 5 and 6 may be omitted in instances where the disturbance is eliminated satisfactorily by the remaining connections as will be apparent to a person skilled in the art. Specific embodiments have been disclosed for purposes of illustration only. In any event the easings I! and I8 constitute electrostatic shields and the various condensers together with the casings El and i8, provide filter means for the purpose above specified.
It is to be noted that the housing Hi is electrically insulated from Ml parts of the motor circuit and that the protective condensers are grounded to separate casings which in themselves are electrically insulated from the housing id. This arrangement eliminates the danger of the operator coming in contact with the charged part-of the apparatus and receiving an electrical shock therefrom. The embodiments of Figs. l-3and 5-? also eliminate the necessity for a third wire connecting the apparatus to ground. This latter feature is of importance in connection with portable apparatus of the type above specified which would otherwise require a three wire cable and would require a special type of wall socket for grounding purposes.
The filter circuit may be installed as a unit, no part of which extends without the main housing and no part of which is exposed to accidental contact. Furthermore the device has been found particularly efficacious for the purpose specified.
