Title: Improvements in Steering Apparatus for Ships.
Inventor: NASH RUSSEL KENDRICK
IPC: B63H25/28
Filed: 1909-04-26
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 9885. Nash, R. K. Dec. 14, 1908, [Convention date]. Steering-gear.-Relates to steering-gear of the type in which the rudder is operated by chains or ropes moved by means of a piston, and consists in the means actuated by the movement of the piston for cutting off the supply valves. Fig. 1 shows a plan and Fig. 2 an elevation of the apparatus. The piston valves 14, 15, preferably on a single stem 16, are connected by the link 24, arm 23, pin 19, and lever 18 to chains 17, which extend to the steering- wheel. The rudder-head sector D connected by guided chains to arms 33, 34 is carried by the piston-rods 11. These arms are connected by chains to the sprocket-wheel 29 carrying the pinion 26, which operates the arc-rack 25 of the tilting lever B, pivoted on the pin 21 and actuating, through the pin 19, arm 23, and link 24, the valve stem 16. Any motion of the steering-wheel causes the piston to move to the right or left, and this motion, while communicated to the rudder by the chain C, also returns the supply valve to its closed position. By loosening the clamps 35, 36, the rudder may be hand-operated through the auxiliary wheel.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Separating and Collecting Rain Water Discharged from Roofs.
Inventor: INCE DAVID DANIEL
IPC: E04D13/08
Filed: 1910-02-19
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 4158. Ince, D. D. Feb. 19. W a t e r supply, obtaining.-An apparatus for collecting rain - water from roofs, of the type in which the first and dirty portion is run to waste, consists primarily of a bucket-andlever operated valve. The first portion of water runs down the pipe A past a butterfly or o t h e r valve on a spindle P, and a part thereof enters a bucket K through a grid M and collector ring C. The bucket K, which is provided with an adjustabla outlet L so that the water enters more quickly than it runs away, gradually fills until it is sufficiently heavy to lift the adjustable balanceweight E on the lever D, and thus to close the valve on the spindle P. Any further water that collects is directed along a pipe B to a tank, except a small quantity which may be allowed to pass the valve in order to keep the bucket full. If desired, the pipe B may slope downwards, and a reversing-valve may be placed at the junction in place ot the butterfly valve. The spindle on which the lever D is mounted is, in this case, placed above the junction, and operates the valve through a rod or crank. The collecting-ring C could he placed above the spindle. Specifications 5253/87, 4210/89, and 11,357/98 are referred to.

Abstract: 24,858. Bailey, C. W. Oct. 26. Regulating - switches. -Relates to resistance switches having the contacts r<1>, q<1> on one side connected by leads u, v to the contacts r<2>, q<2> on the other side, the resistance s or t being connected to the contacts on one side only. The invention consists in driving the switch arm l continously and unidirectionally instead of intermittently and reversing. In the switch illustrated, two lamp circuits are controlled, the circuits starting from main A, branching at C and passing through lamps k, j respectively to contacts x, w. Brushes o, p on the motor-driven arm l sweep over two sets of contacts r<1> r<2>, q<1> q<2> connected to the resistances for each circuit, the result being an alternate brightening and dimming of the lamps in each bank. The lamp circuits on leaving the brushes are continued jointly through the arm to a brush m rubbing on a segment n connected to the main B. Additional contacts may be provided in any set by arranging them in staggered order, thereby rendering the increments of resistance more gradual.

Abstract: 9024. Kaiser, R. April 11. Road-vehicle signals. - An audible warning- signal is continuously sounded by a vehicle until a predetermined speed is exceeded, whereupon the signal ceases. A frame b carrying a bell u is adjustably secured to the spoke of a wheel by a bracket d. The clapper e is pivoted so that it can move only in the plane of rotation. When the speed exceeds a certain limit, centrifugal force prevents relative motion of the bell and its clapper and the alarm is silenced. By adjusting the distance of the device from the axis of rotation, the speed at which the alarm is silenced may be varied. A table may be provided showing the radial distances at which the apparatus must be adjusted for various maximum speeds and for various diameters of wheel.

Granted: 1912-07-22
Abstract: 14,702. Junkers, H. June 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Multi - stage centrifugal fans; parallel - flow turbine fans; cooling parts.-Cooling-devices for compressors of the centrifugal or turbine type are constructed independently of the walls of the compressor, and comprise a number of partitions or plates located in the gas current and adapted to divide it into numerous thin streams, the heat being transferred by the partitions to conduits containing the cooling-medium. The partitions are made of a material having a better heat-conducting capacity and smoother surface than cast iron, The cooling-device may be placed between the diffuser and the impeller, Figs. 1 and 2, the radial partitions L being secured to the fluid-cooled conduits M, which are connected by pipes R. Alternatively, the device may be located in the diffuser, or at the outlet of the impeller, Figs. 5 and 6, in which case the partitions L are curved to obviate shocks. The partitions may be provided with sharp edges. The device may also be applied to axial - flow turbo - compressors, as shown, for example, in Figs. 17, 18, and 19, where the partitions s connecting the cooled conduits e, k form also the fixed guide-blades. The conduits c, k are connected by pipes or hollow blades r. The blades s may be inter-connected by plates l, Figs. 20 and 21, which form the principal cooling-surfaces. Some or all of the blades s may he made hollow to convey the cooling-medium.

Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 17,148. Buchgraber, A. Aug. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Actuating; safety - valves. - An apparatus placed between the drying-cylinder of a paper or like machine and a discharge conduit, allows escape of steam either if this conduit becomes stopped or if, on the other hand, an unusually small amount of condensed water is produced, and also if a sudden excess pressure occurs. In the arrangement shown, condensation water enters at b and collects in a vessel a from which it escapes slowly by a passage k throttled by a screw plug l. A valve i, connected to a bucket f mounted in guides on a closed float o, opens if the pressure becomes excessive, or if the water in the vessel a falls below a certain level, or if it rises high enough to overflow into the bucket. The bucket is emptied, when the water in the vessel a has fallen, through apertures n, opened by the fall of the float o. In a modification, the same functions are discharged by two closed floats acting independently upon a single valve. In another modification there are two valves, one of which is opened by the rise and the other by the fall of a single float.

Abstract: 23,939. Jerram, A. E., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Oct. 28. Milling-cutters, sharpening. -Apparatus for grinding circular cutters, such as are used in the manufacture of boots and shoes, comprises means for traversing the cutter across the grinder, means intermittently to rotate the cutter partly to bring each tooth into position to be ground, and means to turn the cutter yieldingly in the reverse direction after each rotation to bring the tooth to be ground back to a stop that determines its position. The cutter E is rotatably mounted on a frame D pivotally carried by an arm C and adjustable towards and from the grinder A<6>. The cutter carrying frame D is swung upwards and downwards about the shaft C<3> to draw a tooth of the cutter across the grinder by means of a rotating shaft H and a link H<3>. A step-by-step rotation is given to the cutter by a pawl K pivoted to a lever L mounted on a pin D<3> and carrying a roll L<1>. engaging a fixed cam M, so that when the frame D rises, the lever L rotates about the pin D<3> and moves the cutter one tooth forward, the pawl being drawn back over the tooth on reverse movement of the frame D and bringing the tooth against a positioning - pawl N. The machine is automatically stopped when all the teeth are ground by a cam-plate T which carries a claw bearing against the cutter spindle; this claw on entering a groove in the spindle allows the cam-plate on the next rise of the frame D to trip a pawl P<1> and release the belt T, shifting lever R, which is normally held by a deteut integral with the pawl P<1>.
