Title: Machine for cutting spectacle glasses
IPC: C03B33/04
Filed: 1921-01-12
Abstract: 177,627. Schumann, R. Jan. 12, 1921. Cutting glass.-The diamond for shaping a spectacle lens is mounted on an arm which has a to-and-fro radial movement while the lens is being rotated, so that it traces an ellipse. The arm is mounted so as to partake of the motion of a stud carried by a spur-wheel having half the number of teeth of a wheel mounted on a manually-operated lens-carrying table, with which it meshes. This stud can be given a variable eccentricity which determines the amount of radial movement of the diamond. The diamond carrier 22 slides ir. a sleeve 27 and can be depressed against the spring 23 by the head 24. It is in one with an arm 19, which fits a bore in a slide 16 carried by a stud 15 radially adjustable on the hub 13 of the wheel 3 by means of a nut 18. A scale on the nut shows the amount of eccentricity of the stud and this detemines the minor axis of the ellipse. The size of the major axis is set by the nut 20, which causes the arm 25 connected to the sleeve 27 to rock about the centre 26. As the arm 25 rocks, a pin on it, which takes into a fork 31 of a ring on the sleeve 27, gives movement to the pointer 29 on the ring, showing the size on a scale 28. The wheel 3 makes a revolution while the wheel 2 completes a half revolution, and spring stops may be employed to arrest the motion so that one half of the lens may be given a different curve from that of the other half. The head, which presses down the lens 5 on the table 4, is coupled by ball bearings to a rod 10, which is guided in the pillar 11, or it may be on an arm jointed to a spring rod so that it can be swung out of the way when replacing the lens. The diamond point may be on a carrier having a curved slot struck from the point as centre so that the point may be inclined to the table so as to be normal to the surface of convex or concave lenses.

Abstract: 844,847. Cooling aircraft structures. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Jan. 18, 1957 [Jan. 23, 1956], No. 2231/56. Drawings to Specification. Class 4. [Also in Group XXVI] In a high speed aircraft, which is heated by aerodynamic friction and solar radiation, cooling is effected by the engine fuel. The fuel is drawn from the tank, circulated to the part to be cooled and then burnt in the engine. The fuel in the wing tanks cooled tend to heat more rapidly than that in the fuselage tanks and to prevent this, the fuel from the fuselage tanks is circulated through the wing tanks. The flow is outboard from the wing-roots, through the upper wing tank compartments and then inboard through the lower wing tank compartments to the engines. The fuel system is pressurised to prevent boiling at high altitudes and recuperator cylinders, gas pressurised, maintain the fuel flow in the case of inverted flight. From the tanks the fuel passes through heat exchangers, which act as coolers for aircraft services, and through high pressure pumps to the propulsion plant. The pumping system is in two sections either of which may supply the entire propulsion system in the event of failure of one section.

[Class 110 (i).] Multi-stage compressors.-A compressor consists of two or more parts, the arrangement being such that two compressor parts coupled in parallel or in series are each driven by one turbine rotor of a double rotary type turbine. The compressor parts are mounted in an overhung manner on the casing of the turbine. A two-part compressor is shown in Fig. 2. Fluid is admitted to the low pressure part 1 by the inlet 4 and passes through the various impellers and diffusers ; it then passes through the conduit 6 to the high pressure part 2 and is discharged through the outlet 5. Cooling devices 16, 17 are provided in the low and high pressure parts respectively. The shaft 20 of the compressor part 1 carries the turbine disc 27, and the shaft of the part 2 carries the turbine disc 33. The steam enters the double turbine at the central part 34 and leaves by the outlet 35 to be used for some other purpose. The turbine rotors 26, 33 may be designed for different speeds so that the high pressure part 2 of the compressor may be rotated at a higher speed than the part 1 ; the difference in speed may be automatically regulated. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, two aggregate sets are employed, the fluid passing through the compressor parts 1, 2, 36, 39 in series. The parts 1, 2 are driven by the separate rotors of a double rotary type turbine 7 which receives steam from the double turbine 37 driving the higher pressure parts of the compressor. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the modification shown in Fig. 7 (Cancelled), in which three compressor parts 1, 2 64 are used in series.
