Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Cutting Slots in Turbine and the like Wheels.
Filed: 1906-02-08
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 3137. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 8. Shaping; slotting.-Relates to machines of the kind described in Specification No. 14,351, A.D. 1904, for cutting slots in disks for turbines. The work is carried on a notched sector or wheel mounted on a stud 13, Fig. 1, on a carriage 12, engaged by a dividing- finger 15 with a controlling-lever 17 on a head 16. The distance between the head and carriage is adjustable on a saddle 11 traversed for feed by a screw 18, Fig. 4, which is geared to a ratchet-wheel 23 with a pawl of constant stroke partly working over an adjustable hood 44 and linked at 42, Fig. 2, to an arm of a bell-crank 41. The rock-shaft carrying this bell crank is oscillated by segmental gearing 36 slotted to receive a block on an adjustable crankpin 34 driven by a shaft geared at 31 to a clutch wheel 28 geared to an electric motor 25. A handle l48 and division circle 49 control the position of the hood 44 to regulate the feed. The tool 6, Fig. 3, is carried by a boss on a plate 56 sliding between guides at 71 as controlled by a cam 67 mounted on an adjustable swivel plate, by a slot and block 57 mounted on a pin in a block 61 adjustably secured to the frame, and by a slot, block, and pin 64, carried by the rock-shaft.

Patent GB-190612335-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Steering Gear for Ships or Boats
Filed: 1906-05-26
Granted: 1907-05-25
Abstract: 12,335. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Wright, H. May 26. Delivery, regulating.-A number of pumps k supply water under pressure to two or more hydraulic rams a which operate the tiller rods of ships' steering- gear. The pumps k may be put in or out of operation as the load varies during the movements of the rudder, by a device for throwing their valves out of action, or by a by-pass. By this means, the motor driving the pumps may be run continuously but the invention is not confined to apparatus in which this occurs. The control valve c for the hydraulic rams a is preferably of the kind described in Specification No. 12,216, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Steam engines], and may be operated in the same way as an ordinary control valve for a steering- engine, being provided with a cam-disk m which lifts the suction valves of the pumps when it is at or near its midposition. In one example, an electric motor h drives five pumps k, three being of the same capacity and the other two each of half the capacity of one of the first three, which draw water from a tank by the suction pipe l and deliver it to the pipe f. Each ram cylinder communicates with the tank through a valve q through which any leakage in the system is made up. The stems of the suction valves in the first four pumps are attached to the cores of the solenoids r, r<1>, r<2>, r<3>, by a connexion which allows sufficient play for the ordinary working of the valve. The solenoid cores also carry contacts s, s', which electrically connect the terminals t, t<1> and t<2>, t<3>. The motor h is compound wound. When the load is small, the solenoid cores are in the position shown, and the series current passes through each solenoid, in addition to which, a shunt current passes through the coil v on the first solenoid. When the current reaches a certain amount, the core in the solenoid r is raised, putting the first pump out of action by lifting the suction valve and also breaking the circuit of the coil v, so that the core only is energized by the holding-on winding w. This process is repeated until all but the last pump are out of action, when the remaining pump is sufficient to balance the increased torque on the rudder. A varying number of ampÞre-turns on the windings w ensures that the cores fall in a definite order when the load decreases. Any kind of motor may be used, such as a steam turbine, and the pumps may be put in and out of action by an ordinary governor. An hydraulic method is described for operating the pumps, in which cylinders of gradually decreasing size are connected to the suction valves of the pumps in order. The cylinders are open to the pressure on the delivery side of the system and operate when the requisite pressure is attained.

Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 14,619. Trama, E. June 27, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Linotype machines.-Relates to means for automatically supplying metal to the metal pots of linotype machines. Balls of metal are contained in a magazine 1, Figs. 4 and 5, and fall along inclined ribs 4 to an outlet 3 for discharge into a feed-pipe 2, Fig. 8, by means of an escapement 29 which is actuated after a predetermined number of strokes of the pump plunger. The escapement 29' is actuated from a cam 23 on a ratchet-wheel 22, through a link 28, a lever 25, and a finger 24 with a returning-spring 26. The ratchet-wheel 22 is actuated from the pump plunger, through a pawl 21, a bell-crank lever 19, and connexions 17,11, 12, 13 with the plunger spring 14. Some of the teeth of the wheel 22 are divided into two. The rod 12 is made in two parts, with a screw adjustment. The stroke of the pawl 21 is regulated by varying the position of the pivot 9 of the lever 11. The pivot 9 is on a nut traversed by means of a screw 6 provided with a hand-wheel 5 and geared to a screw 35 carrying a nut 36 provided with a pointer moving over a dial 38. A slider 10 in the lever 11 is mounted on the pivot 9. The screw 6 is retained in adjusted position by means of a spring catch 40 which engages in holes in a disk 41. A hand-wheel 39 is provided for setting the cam 23 when necessary. A spring 42 is provided for maintaining the cam 23 and ratchet-wheel 22 rigid. In order to take the impact of the balls off the escapement when charging the magazine, a pin or spindle is inserted in a hole 44. A gong is arranged to sound when the upper part of the magazine is empty. The feed-pipe 2, Fig. 8, is fitted with a shock-deadening spring 47 and a brake spring 48. The open end 50 of the pipe 2 is hinged so that it tips by the weight of the ball, which is arrested by a stop 49 pivoted on the hinged part and connected with a returning spring 59. The ball is conducted from the magazine to the pipe 2 by a piece 45, Fig. 8, held by dovetailed supports 46, Fig. 4. The pipe 2 is detachable by a vertical movement, lugs at the uppar end entering recesses between the magazine and plates or brackets. A plate 60, Fig. 8, protects the part of the magazine against which the tube 2 bears.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulically Actuated Draught Regulators for Steam Boiler Furnaces.
Inventor: ULRICH HANS
Filed: 1906-07-31
Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 17,224. Ulrich, H., and Messerschmidt, A. July 31. Dampers.-The opening and closing of the fire-door of a steam-boiler furnace operates the valve - gear of an hydraulic - pressure machine, the piston of which is connected to the furnace damper. The hydraulic cylinder 1 contains a differential piston the rod of which is connected to guides 6, the upper bar of the latter being also connected to the furnace damper. Pressure water enters at a and passes down to the bottom of the piston through the pipe b or through the valve k, when it is open, to the top of the piston. The pressure water is exhausted during the upward movement of the piston through the regulating-cock c and through the valve e which is normally held closed by a spring f. To effect the opening of the fire-door and the closing of the damper simultaneously, the fire-door is connected by a rod j, Fig. 2, to an arm i mounted on a shaft g which carries a cam h, Fig. 1. When the cam h is turned, the valve e is opened and the piston rises, forcing the water through the valve e and outlet d and closing the damper. To effect the opening of the valve k and of the damper when the fire-door is closed, the arm i, which is moved to the left by closing the fire-door, is connected by a link z to the crank m loosely mounted on the shaft which carries a cam o. The crank m is provided with a pawl n which engages with a catch p fixed to the shaft l. When the fire-door is opened, the pawl n is moved to engage the catch p, as shown in Fig. 3. When the door is closed, the pawl moves the catch p and also the shaft on which it is mounted. The cam o is thus operated and also the spring t and valve k. Water then enters above the piston which is moved downwardly and the damper is raised. To stop the .downward movement of the piston at any desired position, one of the guides 6 is provided with an adjustable stop s which, in its downward movement, strikes a spring-pressed lever q on the catch p, releases the pawl n, and turns the catch p and shaft l, whereupon the valve k closes. The spring t is provided with a leather fitting which closes the passage leading to the cock c. The rod j is provided with a slot w so that the arm i may be moved by hand.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Pressure Reducing Valves and Lubricating Arrangements for Automobile Torpedoes.
Inventor: LEAVITT FRANK MCDOWELL
Filed: 1906-12-03
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 27,517. Leavitt, F. M. Dec. 3. Pressure-reducing valves. - A combined pressurereducing valve and lubricator, for use in torpedoes propelled by means of compressed air, is shown in Fig. 2. The casing consists of two parts G, G<1> separated by a partition L<1>. The lower part G<1> is formed with one or more valve seats k, k<1>, on which seat corresponding faces l, l<1> of a tubular valve H. The admission pipe is shown at c, and the discharge pipe at the opposite side. Within the casing G is an oil chamber I containing a heavy spring J, which tends to keep the valve H open while the pressure on the outlet side of the valve tends to keep it closed. The spring J communicates its stress to the valve H through a stem K which is connected to a cylindrical neck H' of the valve. This neck moves within an opening in the partition L' and with sufficient freedom to allow compressed air to leak into the chamber I, which is not quite filled with oil at starting. The compressed air leaking past the cylindrical portion H<1> bubbles through the oil into the space I' and forces the oil through an outlet S, and so through pipes to the various parts of the machinery. For adjusting the stress of the spring J, the arrangement shown at the top of the apparatus is provided. An abutment J<1> against which the spring reacts is connected to a collar J<2> which screws into a sleeve M fixed to the top of the casing. The squared stem K<1>, fitting a hole in the collar J<2> and extending through the sleeve M, terminates in a head K<2>. By turning the head K<2> by means of a key or wrench, the collar J<2> is rotated in the threaded sleeve M, and so compresses or relaxes the spring J. To neutralize the effect upon the valve of the fluid pressure within the chamber I, the neck K<3> is made the same diameter as the neck H<1>. A valve N is provided for introducing oil into the chamber I. The valve N is normally closed by a spring and is opened by depressing a projection N<2>.
