Claims.
My invention relates to control devices for starting windings of split phase induction motors and has for an object to provide a device operable independently of centrifugal force.
Another object of the invention resides in providing a control device which may be positioned remotely from the motor, permitting the motor to be encased within a sealed compartment.
A still further object of the invention resides in providing a device operable by virtue of the change in phase angle between the currents in the running. winding and starting winding of a split phase motor.
Another object of the invention resides in providing a core structure having three legs preferably arranged in the form of an E and including an armature pivoted about an axis disposed in proximity to the center leg and having two branches one adapted to be attracted by the pole on one outer leg and another branch adapted to be attracted by the pole on the other outer leg, one of said branches moving toward the pole of the corresponding leg and the other moving from the pole of its corresponding leg and vice versa as the armature swings about its pivot.

Another object of the invention resides in providing a winding on the first named outer leg producing flux opposing the flux in said leg produced by the first named winding.
A feature of the invention resides in providing a switch operated by the armature and adapted to be opened when the armature is attracted by the third leg, said switch serving ,to de-energize the starting winding.
Other objects of the invention reside in the novel combination and arrangement of part-s and in the details of construction hereinafter illustrated and/or described.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevational part sectional view of a control device for starting windings of split phase motors illustrating an embodiment of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the structure shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan section view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a wiring diagram showing the use of my invention with a split phase motor.
Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic curve illustrating the relation between the currents in the starting and running windings of a split phase motor.
My improved control device consists of a core structure In which includes three legs II, I2 and I3, mounted on a, yoke or connection portion I4. This core structure is so arranged that the same is substantially E-shaped in form with the two legs II and I3 outermost, and the leg l2 at the center between the same. The legs II and I3 are formed with ends I5 and I6 which serve as poles for the said legs of the core structure.
The leg l2 of the core structure ID has an extension II which extends through a bracket or support I8 and which is riveted over to hold the said bracket securely attached to the hold. Agroove I9 extends across the said bracket and forms two corners 2I and 22 which serve as fulcrums for an armature 23. This armature has two branches 24 and 25 which extend over and are adapted to be attracted by the poles I5 and I6. Two screws 26 extend through the armature 23 and are threaded into the bracket l8. Coil springs 21 encircle these bolts and are seated at their lower ends against the armature 23 and at their other ends against nuts 28 screwed upon said screws. The two branches 24 and 25 of the armature 23 form a slight angle with one another so that the connecting portion 29 of said armature is slightly rounded and rests upon the support or bracket [8 merely at the two corners forming the fulcrums 2| and 22. Springs 21 engaging the armature 23 hold the portion 29 of said armature in engagement with the said f-ulcrums as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The armature is so designed that when in such position the air gap 3| between the branch 24 and pole I5 is very slight while the air gap 32 between the pole I6 and branch 25 is considerably greater. Shins 30 on the armature 23 prevent the same from sticking to the poles I5 and I6.
Mounted on the leg I2 of core I0 is a winding 33 which is adapted to be energized by the current in the running winding of the motor with which the device is to be used. On the leg II is a similar winding 34 adapted to be energized by the current in the starting winding of the motor. It will be readily comprehended that the winding 33 produces magnetic flux in the leg I2 which passes through two paths, one including the leg I l, air gap 3| and branch 24 of armature 23, and the other which includes the leg I3, air gap 32 and the branch 25 of armature 23.
The leg I3 at the locality of the pole I6 is formed with a transverse slot 62. .In this slot is disposed a ring of copper or some other nonferrous conducting material which encircles a portion 63 of said pole and serves as a shading coil for causing positive attraction of the armature 23 by said pole when the branch 25 is brought into proximity thereto.
Formed on the bracket I8 is an arm "35. This arm hasattached to it a bar 36 "of insulating material which is provided with a contact 31 forming one element of a switch 38. The end of the branch 25 of armature 2'3 ihasattached to it a bar 39 of insulating material which again is provided with a contact 4| forming the other element of said switch. The contact 31 is mounted on a threaded stem 42 which is-screwedinto the insulating bar 36. This contactirnay be adjusted with reference to the contact 4| by means of an adjusting nut 43 screwed on said "stem, A second nut 44 on saidistem serves to attach a conductortothe con tact. A similar flexible-nonduct-or, not enown, is attached "to the :contact 4-! ibyfsoidering or iotherwise.
Eoi' th'e pur-pose o'f illustrating the invention, .'I have snown diagrammatically in Fig. 14, a :certain split phaseapaoitor induction motor 45.
