Flat mechanical electric commutators

Abstract

An improved flat or cylindrical mechanical electric commutator with neutral segments (4) between the current carrying segments which allow the current carrying carbon brushes (11, 12, 13, 14) in a brush holder (7) to pass from a negative current carrying segment to a positive current carrying segment or the opposite charge current in the base of the commutator without allowing the face or any part of the carbon brush to touch both the negative and positive segments in the base of the commutator at the same time, resulting in the switching of the electric current to an energized coil of an electric motor, electrical generator or electric apparatus or device, at predetermined intervals and times to suit the design requirements of the energized coil, electric motor of the stepper, brushless DC and switched design, electric generator or electric apparatus or device, while the commutator can accommodate single phase electrical circuits, double phase electrical circuits, three phase electrical circuits or any number of faces as required by the design specifications, all operating independently of each other.
