Patent GB-191103546-A (GB)
Title: Improved Appliance for Filling Cupola Furnaces and the like.
Inventor: GRONEMAN JOHANNES LUDOVICUS TH
IPC: C21B7/18
Filed: 1911-02-13
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 3546. Groneman, J. L. T. Feb. 13. Guided skip and hopper hoists. - Apparatus f o r charging cupola furnaces consists of a bucket suspended from the end of an arm - rigidly attached to a traveller which runs on an inclined double track diverging near the charging - opening of the furnace in such a manner that the bucket is caused, near the end of its travel, to move nearly horizontally and to be guided laterally into the furnace. The traveller b runs with one wheel f bearing on the underside of the track c and its other wheel g on the top of the track d. The tracks c, d are parallel up to a short distance from the top, near which they diverge. As the traveller approaches the top of the track, the arm h assumes an almost horizontal position, and the free end of the arm carrying the bucket i moves along the path shown by the dotted line k. The bucket i may be suspended from the arm by a hook as shown, or the end of the arm may be forked and pivotally connected to the bucket. The framework a may be fixed or pivoted, as in a rotary crane, or may also be made to run on rails or the like. A windlass p and rope or chain q effects the movement of the traveller. A windlass may be provided on the traveller for raising or lowering the hook supporting the bucket i.

Patent GB-191107309-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Valve Gear for Hydraulic Turbines.
Inventor: GELPKE VICTOR
IPC: F03B15/08
Filed: 1911-03-23
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 7309. Gelpke, V. March 23. Regulating. - Relates to valve-gear for hydraulic turbines in which a by-pass valve opens a free or non-working way for the water when the throttle valve is closed by the governor, whereby " waterhammer " shocks are avoided, after which the by-pass valve is gradually and automatically closed. The by-pass valve is operated by a rod a, Fig. 1, at the end of which is mounted a hollow member formed with a piston b working in a chamber c. A hollow piston-valve s admits oil from a chamber c<1> to either side of the piston b alternatively. The valve s carries a piston made with a small perforation, and working in a cylinder m, the vertical position of which is determined by the movements of a rod t actuated by the throttle-valve governing-mechanism. The oil, after operating the piston b, flows away through a pipe l. The method of working is as follows: When the speed of the turbine exceeds a predetermined limit, the throttle-valve is closed and the rod t is moved in the direction of the arrow, whereupon the cylinder m is raised. Owing to the restricted leakage of oil through the piston n, the valve s is also raised, whereupon oil is admitted beneath the piston b and the by-pass valve opened. The leakage of oil through the piston n continues, and, under the action of gravity, the valve s gradually falls and the device resumes the normal position, as shown. A weight g may assist the valve s to fall. In a modification, the valve s, Fig. 4, is actuated by a differential piston n<1> subjected below to a constant oil pressure, and subjected above to an oil pressure which is varied by the amount of leakage permitted. This variable oil pressure is attained by the incoming oil passing through a restricted opening f<3> in the supply pipe f<2>, while the oil leaks away through ports r<1> controlled by the pilot valve a<2> of the governor-controlled throttle-valve mechanism B.

Abstract: 17,534. Walerius, C. Aug. 1. Couplings, disconnectible, for train-pipes, comprise coupling-heads 28 carried by tubular members 21 telescopically mounted in members 17 by a stuffing-box joint 26. The heads 28 have inclined hollow horns 31 to aline the couplings, and bellcrank spring - pressed latches 37 which normally project into the space between the horns to an extent limited by a projection 39, so as to engage projections (not shown), on the other coupling - head. Joint is made by suitable gaskets 29 housed in recesses in the heads 28, and kept in contact when the parts are coupled, by the pressure of springs 27. Rods 41, pivoted at one end to the latches 37, extend through openings in projections 24 carried by the member 17, and carry lock-nuts 44 at the other end. When the cars are uncoupled, the pipe couplings remain engaged till the cars have separated sufficiently to cause the nuts 44 to contact, through buffer springs 45, with the projections 24, so releasing the catches 37. The couplers are supported by rods 14 with heads 15 sliding in guides 10 connected to the car by a link 12. A helical spring 16 is disposed below each head 15.

Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 21,669. Kofoed, C. Oct. 2. Capillary-action lubricators.-In a lubricator consisting of an oil-cup with a number of outlets to which oil is delivered by siphon wicks, the wick tubes are adjustable in height, and consist of telescopic threaded parts 10, 11, secured to the floor of the oil-cup 4, by flanged sockets 12. In a modified form, the tubes 11 have internal threads screwing upon upward extensions of the sockets 12. To maintain the oil in the cup 4 at a constant but adjustable level, a nozzle 17 projects through a slot in the back of the oilcup and controls the supply of oil from a tank 1. The nozzle is carried by a slide 9 adjusted vertically by a screw 5. A graduated plate 7 is fixed to the front of the slide. The tank 1 being airtight the nozzle acts on the bird-fountain principle to keep the level constant in the cup 4. The cover 13 of the oil - cup 4 is connected to a movable cover 14, which closes the mouth of the nozzle 17 when the cover 13 is opened.

Abstract: 22,810. McKean, J. O. Oct. 16. Winding - machines; stop - motions. - When a thread breaks in a drum winding -machine, a sapporting-strut 26 is removed from one arm of a bell-crank lever 23, which is then moved by means of a spring so that the other arm 22 operates a pivoted bail 21 which removes the bobbin from its driving-roll and brakes it. The bobbin cradle is pivoted on an axis 12 and is uniformly pressed against the driving-roll by a spring 15, so arranged that as the cradle is moved outwards the diminished leverage of the spring is compensated for by its increased pull due to extension. A latch 38 is pivoted to the arm 22 and serves to hold the bobbin from the driving-roll when desired.
