Title: Improvements in Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Inventor: WESTINGHOUSE GEORGE
Filed: 1905-09-06
Granted: 1906-09-06
Abstract: 18,015. Westinghouse, G. Sept. 6. Elastic-fluid turbines. - The steam supply is controlled by a centrifugal governor, and, in order to keep the pressure of steam supplied by the nozzles constant, whatever the load, the number of nozzles is varied in accordance with the variations in load. The nozzles are divided into two groups, to one of which steam is always admitted. The other group is more or less open to steam according to the position of a fluid-actuated piston valve 9, Fig. 2, which at the upper end is subject to the pressure of the steam entering the nozzles 7, and at the lower end is exposed to a constant pressure supplied by a spring or by admitting steam through a reducing-valve to the space 10. An increase of load, by allowing the throttle to admit more steam, primarily increases the pressure at the nozzle 7 ; but the valve 9 is pushed down until sufficient nozzles are open to reduce the pressure at the upper end to the constant pressure in the space 10. On a decrease of load, a reverse action takes place. The nozzles (not shown), which are always open to steam, are designed to take the minimum load. A dash-pot is provided, consisting of two pistons 14, 15 on one piston-rod, separated by a partition 19. Main steam is admitted to each side of bnth these pistons, adjustable plugs 24 being provided. A piston in a separate cylinder subject to the steam conditions described above may be used to actuate the valve 9. An indicating-rod 25 is attached to the piston 15.

Patent GB-190524605-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Printing Telegraphs.
Inventor: KAMM LEO
Filed: 1905-11-28
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 24,605. Kamm, L. Nov. 28. Telegraphs.-Relates to improvements in the printing-telegraph described in Specifications No. 3531, A.D. 1895, No. 12,013, A.D. 1898, and No. 6042, A.D. 1901, in which on depression of a key at the transmitting-station an arm is set free at both transmitting and receiving stations, and rotates at the transmitter until it engages a pin raised by the depression of the key, thereby again closing the line circuit to arrest the arm at the receiving-station, thereby closing a local printing- circuit. The arm is restored to zero, after printing each letter, by a zero magnet. To ensure the first current impulse, sent to line on depression of a key, being always of the same duration, the iron core 4 of the solenoid 16 (connected in parallel with the zero magnet) is pivoted to one end of the lever 2, the other end of which closes the line contact 22 during the upward movement of the core 4 under the influence of the adjustable spring 3. The core is normally kept in its lowelr position by a catch 8 engaging a bar 7, Fig. 3, but, when one of the keys 6 is depressed, a projection on the universal frame 5 presses upon a small inclined plane 13 so as to move the bar 7 to the left and free the core 4. The energizing of the solenoid restores the core to its normal position, the pin 20 passing behind the inclined plane 21 so as not to close the contact 22 during the return movement of the lever 2. The Provisional Specification refers to the use of a dash-pot to regulate the movement of the lever 2.
Patent GB-190600296-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Elevators and the like.
Filed: 1906-01-04
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 296. Spencer & Co., and Gaskell, J. S. Jan. 4. Elevators.-Relates to endless-chain elevators for raising and lowering packages in warehouses &c. in which comb-like platforms pivotally carried by the chains interpenetrate similar loading and unloading stations at the various floors, and comprises means for keeping the loading tables free of packages until the elevator platforms are about to pass through them, for guiding the platforms without swinging, and for tilting them to receive or discharge the packages without shock. The platforms, Fig. 3, are constituted by prongs keyed on a shaft c of square central section connecting together triangular frames d swung from the chains, and having upper external rollers f running in guides h and lower internal rollers g, adapted to co-act with side brackets at the loading and unloading stations. On the ascending side of the elevator are loading stations, Figs. 4 and 5, constituted by triangular frames n carried at an adjustable inclination in bearings k. The prongs o of the loading tables have antifriction rollers r and are keyed to shafts p so as to be swung aside, together with the guides u to the rollers g, by levers w, x. The tables are fed from roller-ways or the like, stops or projections y normally preventing access of the packages. As the platforms ascend to the loading- tables, the upper rollers f engage pivoted cams v connected with the stops y by links 4 so as to throw the latter out of action. A package then slides on to the loading table against adjustable stops z, and is packed up by the platform, the stops y being restored by springs 5 as the rollers f pass away. When the tables are not in use, the cams v are also thrown out of action by the engagement of cams 6, 7 on the shafts p, m respectively. The delivery tables are arranged on the descending flight and are similar in character to the loading tables. They can be adjusted to deliver at any required inclination and are provided with cams to tilt the platforms as they arrive to the same inclination so as to unload without shock to the package.
Patent GB-190604852-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Vices
Inventor: BOLEY WILHELM
Filed: 1906-02-28
Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 4852. Boley, W., and Pfleiderer, P. Feb. 28. Vices. - In quick-adjustment vices having two screwed spindles d, e of different pitch, the highpitch screw e adjusts the jaws until the pressure between them overcomes the resistance of a friction coupling connecting the low-pitch screw d with a tightening-nut. The low-pitch screw d has two nuts a, b pressing one against the other, with a ball bearing k, a metal disk l, and a flexible ring m between. The screw d is in one piece with a sleeve o, the end p of which acts as a nut for the screw e, which is fixed on the movable jaw r. The nut b is held in place by a plate f and has claws i which can engage with corresponding claws g on a screw head c frictionally mounted on the nut a. The claws allow a limited rotation of the nuts relatively to one another. When the screw head is rotated, the nut a is screwed up against the nut b until the friction of the wedging action so produced is sufficient to overcome the friction of the movable jaw on the high-pitch screw e. Upon the jaws meeting with resistance, the two nuts a, b further screw together until the claws g, i engage, when further rotation of the screw head c rotates the nuts on the screw d and gives a fine adjustment. To release the jaws, the screw head is rotated to the left and carries the nut a with it until the wedging action between the nuts a, b is removed and the claws g, i engage in an opposite direction. The nuts then continue to rotate until the nut a strikes against the stop disk q, whereupon the high-pitch nut d is rotated on the screw e.

Patent GB-190612336-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Sheet Metal Stamping Presses and like Machines.
Inventor: GRIFFITHS HARRY ALBERT
Filed: 1906-05-26
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 12,336. Griffiths, H. A., and Griffiths, R. H. May 26. Box-making machines. -In apparatus for feeding metal sheets to machines for making parts of boxes by punching and stamping in a step-by-step manner,the work grip is adapted to be opened by hand and closed by foot. The gripping-jaws k are operated by a cam m oscillated by a handle o or by a flexible cable p from a foot-lever. The jaws are mounted on a lateral slide f running on rollers f<1> on a guide g attached to a slide a which moves towards the die e along a guide b and rest h, rollers i minimizing friction along the latter. A spring pin t engages holes on the guide b which determine the distance between the rows. To vary the distance between the latter, the holes may be in blocks the distance apart of which may be varied by packing ; or strips s with holes at intervals may be removably mounted in the guide. The lateral feed may be obtained by moving the edge of the sheet against an abutment w, a removable abutment x being used to commence a fresh row so as to get the punching staggered. A support z held up by the slide a prevents the centre of the sheet from sagging while the first few rows are being punched. In a modification, Fig. 9, the lateral movement is obtained automatically at each descent of the tool by means of pawl-andratchet mechanism 2, 7, the amount of feed being adjusted by altering the length of the lever 4. In this case the abutment w is unnecessary, and the latter may be obviated in band-feeding by notches on the guide g, such notches being engaged by spring pins. The initial position of the sheet on the slide f is determined by adjustable stops g, r.
