Patent GB-190516711-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Method of and Means for Obtaining Moist Compressed Air or Gas.
Inventor: ALFRED PFANNKUCHE ELTEN
Filed: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 16,711. Elten, A. P. Aug. 17, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Explosive-gas actuated pumps.-A mixture of moist compressed air and gas is obtained direct from the power cylinder of an internal-combustion engine having a liquid piston, the air to be acted upon being admitted during the latter part of the expansion or power stroke. In the form shown, chambers a, furnished with bells d, are connected by a liquid piston c and deliver through valves n into a reservoir t. Fuel is injected into the bells alternately at the moment when the air therein is under maximum initial compression due to the liquid piston ; the charge is then ignited, and, in expanding, forces air above the liquid piston in the surrounding chamber into the reservoir t. A distributing slide valve m now first puts the bell and chamber into inter-commnnication, and then puts both into communication with the atmosphere, whereby the liquid level falls in both bell and piston and compresses the air in the other bell. The fall in the bell is the more rapid, however, and the waste products of combustion are thereby discharged into the chamber, to be forced into the reservoir on the return of the piston. During the expansion of the heated combustion products, they are moistened by steam generated from the thin film of water remaining on the inner walls of the bell ; in addition, water may be discharged with the gas into the reservoir. It is stated that a steamactuated solid or metallic piston may be employed instead of the fluid piston.

Abstract: 23,623. Porteus, G. Oct. 24. Conveyers.-A wood-refuse collecting-plant, of the type in which the refuse is drawn by suction through a fan chamber and then delivered to a furnace, is provided with a collecting-chamber on the suction side of the fan, to receive and retain heavy substances in the refuse and tnus prevent injury to the fan. Fig. 1 shows a portion of a refuse-collecting plant fitted with a chamber 6, between the suction inlet of the fan 1 and the main suction pipe 5. The latter is arranged at a lower level than the fan inlet so that the refuse proper is sucked upwards into the fan, while the heavy substances fall by gravitation into the bottom portion 7 of the chamber and are removed periodically through the man-hole 8. In a modified form, the chamber is provided with a depending spout having a hinged counterweighted door, which is forced open at intervals by the weight of accumulated material in the chamber and delivers the contents to a box beneath.

Abstract: 289. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Jan. 17, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field carriages; mountings.-Relates to recoil apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 27,093, A.D. 1903, wherein means are provided for automatically altering the length of the recoil stroke as the gun is elevated. The non-recoiling piston-rod b, Fig. 1, is provided with recoil ports g and run-out ports d, registering respectively and alternately with passages h, c in a disk a, which slides longitudinally on the rod b, under the pressure of the brake fluid, to take up the position shown in the lower half of the Figure during the recoil, and in the upper half the Figure during the counter-recoil. The disk is rotated to close the ports gradually, by projections working in helical grooves in the brake cylinder f. The recoil is further controlled by a regulating-rod k, attached to the rear end of the cylinder and working in the hollow piston-rod b. Several modifications are described, one of which is shown in Fig. 7. The piston-rod has a hollow extension m in which are formed the recoil ports o and run-out ports p. During the recoil, the latter are closed by a cylindrical slide r actuated by a spring q, but during the return stroke they are opened, and the ports o closed, by the pressure of the liquid on the slide r. The disk a in this construction rotates, but does not slide on the piston-rod,

Title: Improvements in Automatic Stop Governors.
Inventor: BRESLOVE JOSEPH

Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 682. Breslove, J. Jan. 13,1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Stop-gear.-A stop-gear, particularly applicable to turbines, is arranged so that an excess of speed causes the closing of a fluid-actuated throttle valve, which remains closed until the apparatus is re-set by hand. Fig. 1 shows the valve which is normally held open, as shown, by the pressure of steam leaking past the bush 21. Steam also leaks past an adjustable valve 19 to the space 17 between the two parts of the grooved piston, so that when, by the action of mechanism to be described, the space 13 is opened to the atmosphere, the valve descends and cuts off steam. The mechanism referred to, shown in horizontal section in Fig. 3, is contained in a casing 27 rotating in an oil bath and attached to the turbine shaft by a flexible coupling. A weight 25 is pivoted so as to swing by centrifugal action towards a stop 43, and carries a lug 42, Fig. 4, which deviates from the axis of the casing 27 as the weight 25 swings, and eventually presses on an arm 64, thereby shifting a catch 62, Fig. 6, on the spindle 63 and releasing an arm 58. The pressure of steam in the space 13 next opens a valve 48, putting the pipe 22 in communication with the atmosphere through a port 46; the throttle valve is then closed as described.

Abstract: 14,803. Carr, J. W. June 28, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-The cop &c. magazines in automatic weft-replenishing looms, such as those described in Specifications Nos. 7161 and 7161<A>, A.D. 1905, consist of endless aprons formed by bars 4, Fig. 6, provided with spring jaws 5 and saddles 6 for the cops and with studs or hooks 7 for securing the thread ends. Round pins or other projections 8, which may be furnished with rollers, are provided on the carrier ends. They are guided in endless grooves 11, Fig. 1, in the inner faces of side frames 9, 10, bolted together. Each side frame may be formed in two parts, which are bolted together. Each apron is driven by sprocket-wheels 20, which are correctly pitched to engage the projections 8 and are mounted on a shaft 18 carrying a ratchetwheel 24, driven by a pawl 31 on a three-armed lever 38, when the weft fails and weft-changing is to occur. In this case, a lever 43, Fig. 4, is moved sideways into engagement with a cam, as described in the Specification referred to above, whereby a rod 32 and a finger or lever 39 are raised and the lever 38 is turned, so that the pawl moves back over the ratchet teeth. The finger 39 passes through a slot in a plate 42 on the lay at the first beat-up ; but, on the descent of the rod 32, the plate actuates the lever 39 on a subsequent beat-up. The shaft 18 is thus turned, its movement being limited by a spring bearing on a scalloped wheel fixed on the shaft, so that the apron is accurately advanced by one division. A gripper on a rocking shaft, which is turned through a quarter of a revolution for each actuation of the cop magazine, feeds the cops from the magazine into the shuttle box, a saddle or cradle on a rod adjustably fixed in a standard on the rocking shaft being used to support cops of varying diameters.
