Title: Improvements in and relating to Governing Mechanism for Elastic Fluid Turbines.
IPC: G05D13/00
Filed: 1911-09-16
Granted: 1912-10-16
Abstract: 20,549. Vereinigte Dampfturbinen Ges. Sept. 16, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulating.-Steam from an accumulator 4 is admitted to a low-pressure turbine 5 by way of a valve 7 controlled by a servo-motor 11 operated by a governor 17. The servo-motor contains two pistons 10, 13, between which a variable quantity of oil can be admitted. The pistons 10, 13 and the oil enclosed between them act as one solid piston: The admission of oil, therefore, has an equivalent effect to varying the length of the valve-rod. The oil is admitted or released by a valve 38, on the rod 36 of which is a piston 34 subjected to the steam pressure on the outer side of the valve 7, which pressure is transmitted by way of a pipe 35. Connected to the piston 34 by a spring 37 is a piston 26 subjected to the pressure in the accumulator 4. This presure is conveyed by a pipe 27. The operation of the piston 26 under slight or rapid fluctuations of pressure is avoided by a dash-pot device 31. The valve 7, therefore, is under a triple control, namely, the speed governor, and the conditions of pressure on the outlet side of the valve, and in the accumulator. In the case of accumulators of variable capacity such as the gasometer type, mechanical devices are substituted for the pressure device 26.
Patent GB-191120716-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Driving Mechanism for Phonographs and the like.
Inventor: HIGHAM DANIEL
Filed: 1911-03-08
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 20,716. Higham, D. March 8. Speed, regulating.-For maintaining constant the mandrel speed on a belt-driven phonograph of which the motor speed is not constant, the governor is provided with a pulley resting on the driving-belt to vary the tightness of the belt inversely as its speed. The motor shaft 78 drives a countershaft 82 by a belt 80. The mandrel 85 is driven in the direction of the arrow by a belt 84 passing over a pulley 83 on the countershaft 82. The belt 84 also passes over a pulley 89 on the governor spindle 86 and over an idle pulley 90 carried by the governor frame 87, which is pivoted on an horizontal pivot 88. The governor is provided with the usual adjusting-arm 97 carrying a brake block. If the speed of the motor 76 rises, the governor speed increases, causing an increase of pressure between the brake block and governor disk, which increases the load or tension on the belt 84 and thus raises the frame 87. This loosens the belt 84 and permits it to slip over the driving-pulley 83 thus retarding the mandrel speed. When the motor speed falls, the governor speed falls, the governor frame 87 falls, thus increasing the grip of the belt 84 on the pulley 83 and accelerating the mandrel speed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Razors.
Inventor: HODSON CHARLES EDWARD
IPC: B26B21/08
Filed: 1911-11-28
Granted: 1913-02-28
Abstract: 26,604. Hodson, C. E. Nov. 28. [Cognate Application, 12,437/12.] No Patent granted (Scaling fee not paicl). Razors, safety. In a razor with a doubleedged wafer blade, the usual guard is dispensed with, and the blade is secured in a carrier comprising two chamfered or bevel edged plates c, f, which clamp the blade as near its cutting- edge as is possible or desirable and serve as a guard. The plate c has a stud d, by which it is detachably pivoted in slots c in a sheath-like holder a, and studs l, n which are engaged by slots k, n<1> in the other plate f, which is also formed with a hole to fit over the stud d and a stud h which engages a hole i in one side of the holder. The blade b has two notches in each end for engaging the studs d, n, l, and for stropping purposes, the blade is engaged upon the studs n, l only. The plate c has a thickened part o which serves to force open the jaws of the holder as the carrier and blade are turned into position; the carrier is detached from the holder by depressing the plate f and disengaging the stud h from the hole i. The plate f may be dispensed with, and the side of the holder extended and similarly formed. The plates c, f or the extended holder may be bevelled for only half their length c<2> so that one half of the blade is protected. The plates c, f may be united at a part which forms the thickened portion o, or they may be hinged together at one end. In a modified form, a projection on the carrier engages behind a curved edge on the holder so as to draw the stud d into the slots c as the carrier is turned into the holder. The plates c, f are arranged to spring apart.

A vertical slot in the part b<1> is closed by a wedge-shaped piece k, Fig. 3, engaging frictionally over oppositelyinclined projections on the part b<1>. On removing the part k and the nut h, the outer body b<1> may be disengaged from the handle and removed from the can.

Abstract: 17,785. May, S. July 31. Drawings to Specification. Sausages, black-puddings, and the like. - To manufacture a sausage casing from intestines, the intestines after being cured in salt and soaked in water are scraped, and one intestine is turned inside out and is slipped inside the other. One end of the casing is tied, and it is distended by blowing from the other end. This end is then tied and the casing left to dry. During drying, the slimy surfaces in contact set and hold the material stretched. Instead of distending by air, the intestines my be cut open and stretched on a board with their slimy surfaces in contact. When sufficiently stretched and dried, the tube is severed lengthways and the edges are overlapped or turned in and stitched on a machine, preferably in conical form, The tapered tube is then cut into lengths as required.
