Inventor: PATERSON WILLIAM
IPC: G05D23/275
Filed: 1908-07-24
Granted: 1909-07-26
Abstract: 13,060. Paterson, W. July 24, 1908. Dampers f o r controlling superheaters.-To control the temperature of superheated steam, a thermostat closes an electric circuit which controls means for regulating the flow of flue gases to a superheater; the thermostat reverses the current at a minimum temperature. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a thermostat m controls a motor h which operates a damper a by means of a worm f and a quadrant e, thereby allowing gases to pass to a superheater chamber b or to a flue d. The connexions of the motor are the same as those described in Specification 15,788/08, [Class 64, Heating], the thermostat closing the motor circuit, either directly or indirectly through relays t, u, as shown in Fig. 4. An arm on the spindle of the damper opens one of two switches r, s when the damper reaches the extreme positions. Two dampers may be used, one controlling the inlet of cold air. The dampers may be operated by a steam piston. According to the Provisional Specification, the circuit may control a pilot valve regulating the supply of steam or pressure fluid to a cylinder or motor, or to a piston governing the motor-controller. A brake may be applied to the motor which is released when the circuit is opened.

Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 14,138. Marks, E. C. R., [McClean Arms and Ordnance Co.]. June 16. Machine guns; cartridge hoppers and the like.- Relates to the magazine and feed mechanism of automatic guns, and consists in a rotatable flat or dished cartridge-carrying plate, and in means for actuating the same. One form of plate is shown in sectional plan in Fig. 5, rotatably mounted upon a spring button 48<2> on the side of the gun, so as to be readily removable therefrom, and provided with clips 48, or other means, for retaining the cartridges in radial positions. A step-by-step rotation is given to the plate 46 by a feed-lever 51, Fig. 2, operating in a manner similar to that described in Specification 10,418/08, which engages with notches in the circumference 46<1> of the plate by means of a spring-pawl 60, and is provided with a laterallyprojecting pin 59 which is engaged by a cam-groove 55 formed in a recoiling part of the breech action, such as the breech-operating slide 28 of the gaspiston, so that, after the breech-block 26 has been unlocked and withdrawn, the continued rearward movement of the slide 28 rocks the lever 51 downwards, and thereby rotates the magazine until the next cartridge projects into the path of the breechblock ; further rotation of the plate is prevented by a fixed lug 50, Fig. 1, which projects into the path of the cartridge. A second spring-pawl mounted at 65 prevents the reverse rotation of the plate 46 as the lever 51 is raised into engagement with the next notch in the plate by the return of the slide 28. The lever 51 is normally retained in the raised position by a pivoted catch 53 connected thereto by a spring 60<1> and adapted to hook over the pin 59. The catch is provided with a projection which is struck by the edge 58 of the slide 28 during the recoil of the slide, so that the feedlever is released ; the projection afterwards enters the cam-slot 55, and the movements of the catch are thereby controlled. When the magazine 46 is empty, the stop 50 becomes inoperative and the feed-lever 51 is depressed beyond the normal, so that the pin 59 engages in front of a shoulder 61 in the cam-groove 55, and retains the slide 28 in its rearmost position. A hand-lever 62 is provided for raising the feed-lever from the locking position to release the slide 28 when a fresh magazine 46 has been attached to the gun.

Abstract: 28,484. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. Dec. 6. Distributing matrices.-Relates to means for bringing matrices, which have been assembled at different levels, to the same level prior to distribution. The matrices are supported in the upper position as heretofore by a fixed ledge 321, Fig. 2, from which they are pushed by a pusher 322 or other device, so that they fall to the lower position. The pusher 322 is operated, when the elevator 246 rises, by levers 325 and stops 327 on the machine frame. The matrices may be positively pushed down, during the rise of the elevator, by the projections 323 on the known triangular ledge 328, which withdraws the spaces. The projections 323 may be so formed as to coincide with the direction of the upper edges of the matrices when these are in the oblique position. To permit tilting of the matrices, the groove which guides their upper rear lugs is made wider than usual, and its upper side is formed by a vertically-sliding spring-pressed plate 336, Fig. 6. To prevent injury to the falling- matrices by the guide ledge 339, the lower part 340 of the elevator wall is pivoted to the upper part. The part 340 may be connected to, and rocked by, the levers 325, or may be held in normal position by a spring.
