Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 7414. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 27. Elastic-fluid turbines.-The base 2 of the bucket 5 is secured to its stationary or rotary support by staking-pieces 8. These are held in position by a projection 10 hooking over an overhanging shoulder 3 of the support, Fig. 3, or by the pieces being made of wedge shape as shown in Fig. 4. The bases and staging-pieces are preferably made in segments, usually of the same length. In assembling the parts, the staking-pieces are put in first, and the base segments inserted between them in the channel, the whole being rendered secure by bending the end 11 over a shoulder 7 on the base. This shoulder may be formed by cutting a recess 6 in the base or by making the base wider than the blade. To remove the bucket, the end 11 is cut off with a cold chisel ; new staking-pieces are then used on reassembling.

Abstract: 21,456. Hamilton, C. A. Sept. 27. Clutches. - Relates to the construction of a clutch employed in driving-mechanism of the kind described in Specification No. 24,243, A.D. 1904, in which disconnectible mechanism is arranged between the driving-shaft and the road wheels, to facilitate changing gear. Upon the driving-shaft A, Figs. 1 and 2, is fixed a dog B, provided with peripheral teeth and lying within an overhanging brake drum C connected to the propeller shaft of the vehicle, and which may carry part of the universal joint D. A plate E, attached to the open side of the brake drum, pivotably supports a pair of pawls F adapted to engage the teeth of the dog R and normally kept in engagement by springs G. The pawls can be disengaged by means of a plate J having inclined surfaces K adapted to engage projections H on the pawls. This plate J is free to be rotated slightly in relation to the brake drum, for the purpose of disengaging the pawls, by a drag disk L, to which it is connected, but is ordinarily held in its inoperative position by springs. Each pawl carries a " surprise piece " M, Figs. 5 and 6, which consists of a spring tooth adapted to shoot out and make the complete tooth on the pawl wider than the notches with which it engages. As soon, however, as the dog B commences to rotate faster than the brake drum, the surprise piece M is caught by the edge of a tooth and driven back, reducing the effective width of the tooth and allowing it to engage. The drag is timed to act during the operation of changing speed.

Separating granular materials &c.-Relates to pneumatic separating - apparatus in which the granular or other material to be graded or separated is fed by a pipe J on to a rotating disk E in a chamber A, and there subjected to a blast of air from a blower C, and consists in making the walls N of the chamber A adjustable so that they can be opened or closed to vary the cross-sectional area of the chamber and thus regulate the speed and force of the air current. The walls N are enclosed in a chamber 0, and any material leaking past them is led by a passage P to the outlet K through which the coarse material escapes. Any material separating in the separator A is directed by a bin R on to the feeder E, and is again subjected to the air blast. The finest material is carried into the dust collector B, the exhaust H of which is connected by a pipe I to the blower C. An equalizer or vent S is provided between the exhaust H and the blower C to permit air to escape when the pressure exceeds atmospheric, and to enter when a vacuum is created in the return pipe I.
