Oscillating motor

Claim 1

AN OSCILLATING MOTOR COMPRISING; A CIRCULAR STATOR RING MEMBER; SAID STATOR MEMBER INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF PAIRS OF DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED POLE PIECES EXTENDING INWARDLY THEREFROM WITH AIR GAPS THEREBETWEEN, EACH OF SAID POLE PIECES INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE SLOT THEREIN TO FORM SPACED TEETH THEREON, CONDUCTORS LOCATED IN SAID SLOTS AND BEING FIXED RELATIVE THERETO, MEANS TO APPLY ALTERNATING CURRENT IN SAID CONDUCTORS, THE ALTERNATING CURRENT BEING OF OPPOSITE POLARITY IN ADJACENT POLE PIECES, AN ARMATURE OF MAGNETIC MATERIAL, MEANS FOR MOUNTING SAID ARMATURE FOR ROTARY OSCILLATION ABOUT A FIXED AXIS IN SAID AIR GAP, SAID ARMATURE HAVING A NUMBER OF ARCUATE ARMATURE SEGMENTS ON THE PERIPHERY THEREOF CORRESPONDING TO THE NUMBER OF POLE PIECES WITH EACH SEGMENT BEING ADJACENT A RESPECTIVE ONE OF SAID POLE PIECES, THE ARCUATE EXTENT OF SAID SEGMENTS BEING IN MULTIPLE OF THE ARCUATE DISTANCE BETWEEN CENTER LINES OF THE TEETH OF ASSOCIATED POLE PIECES SAID ARMATRE SEGMENTS BEING SO POSITIONED RELATIVE TO THE ASSOCIATED POLE PIECES SO AS TO MAINTAIN A RELUCTANCE OF ESSENTIALLY CONSTANT MAGNITUDE BETWEEN THE ARMATURE AND THE POLE PIECE DURING OSCILLATION, AND MEANS TO ESTABLISH A UNIDIRECTIONAL MAGNETIC CIRCUIT OF ESSENTIALLY CONSTANT MAGNITUDE THROUGH SAID POLE PIECES AND SAID ARMATURE, WHEREBY THE MAGNETIC FIELD PRODUCED BY ALTERNATING CURRENT IN SAID CONDUCTORS WILL DIVERT THE MAGNETIC FLUX IN SAID POLE PIECES ALTERNATELY FROM RIGHT TO LEFT SIDES THEREOF CAUSING SAID ARMATURE TO OSCILLATE TO RIGHT AND LEFT OF A CENTER POSITION WITH THRUST BEING APPLIED TO SAID ARMATURE ALTERNATELY IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS OF OSCILLATION.
