Title: Improvements in or relating to Rotary Pumps.
IPC: F04C14/22
Filed: 1910-01-29
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 2291. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Jan. 29. Fixed-abutment type; governing and regulating pumps.-Relates to rotary pumps having outwardly-sliding vanes arranged in an eccentric drum. An automatic pressure-regulating device comprises a movable casing which is adjusted in position relatively to the drum by the delivery pressure, the movement of the casing being employed to operate the controlling-means of the driving - motor. A drum c carrying sliding vanes k works in a casing g, which is subject above to the pressure of a spring f, and below to the pressure in the delivery conduit which communicates through an opening o with the lower surface of the casing g. The upper surface is in communication with the lowpressure side of the pump. The part g is adapted to slide in the casing g<1>, and the delivery pressure thereby varies the eccentricity of the drum and the output of the pump. In a modification, Fig. 2, a spring-pressed relay valve v is employed to control the orifice o<1>. By this means, the lower surface of the part g is only subjected to the delivery pressure when this has overcome the spring f<1>. A comparatively weak spring f may therefore be employed. To relieve the pressure under the part g when the valve v has closed, a small opening o<2> is provided. The displacement of the part g may be used to operate the controlling means of the driving motor, for instance a resistance regulator w.

Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 20,313. Underwood Typewriter Co., and Cooper, J. J. Aug. 31. Paper-supports; platen rotation for two widths of linespacing. Means is provided for feeding original and duplicate sheets or webs at different velocities, to obtain different widths of line-spacing. The platen is divided into sections A', A<2>, A<3>, Fig. 1, the duplicate being in contact with the section A<1> only, and the wider original sheet in contact with the sections A<2>, A<3>. The section A' is fixed to the shaft a, and is rotated directly by a linespacing pawl E operated from a lever E<2>, while the sections A<2>, A<3> are loosely mounted on the shaft a, and are rotated from the shaft a through reducing or multiplying gear G, G', G<2>, G<3>. In order that the sections of the platen may be rotated independently, the pinion G<2> is secured to the shaft y by a clutch H. Line spacing mechanism; platen - roller detents.-In the example shown, the stroke of the line - spacing pawl E is much greater than usual; for this reason, the lever E<2> is made specially long, and the detent - pawl, instead of engaging the line-spacing ratchet-wheel as usual, engages a separate ratchet-wheel. Sheet - feeding arrangements; web feeding, guiding, and cutting arrangements. - The original sheet B, Fig. 4, is fed by feed-rollers J in contact with the sections A<2>, A<3> of the platen. The duplicate strip C is fed from a spool N, beneath feed-rollers K', around the platen, beneath feed-rollers K<2>, over a guide P, past a cutting-blade 0, and out over a spring- held guide Q. The feed-rollers K<1>, K<2> revolve on shafts k<1>, k<2> carried by end plates K, which are supported by a shaft L. mounted eccentrically, so that the feed-rollers may be lifted free of the platen. The spool N is braked by a spring-pressed disk fixed to the shaft n of the spool and bearing against the fixed trunnion of the shaft.

Abstract: 22,938. Smith, T. G., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Oct. 17. Bevelling.-A splitting-machine, of the type in which the work is adjusted towards the knife D by a work-supporting roller C eccentrically mounted on a large spindle B, is provided with an attachment enabling it to be used as a scarfing-machine. A bracket I mounted to slide in guides A<7> formed in the frame A is provided with a forked end in which is pivoted a clamp J adapted to clamp the work against a bar. A cam block K is pivoted to the bracket at one end and is supported at the other end K<3> by a head block L<2> on a lever L, which can be adjusted by a pawl C and rack P. The cam K<2> on the cam-block embraces a sam roll B<8> on an arm B<7> extending from the spindle B. In using the attachment, the work is gripped by the clamp J and drawn from the machine, the bracket diring in the slides A<7> and the cam roll moving up the cam K<2>. The spindle B is thus turned, lifting the work and causing the knife to give a bevelled cut. The angle of the bevel is varied by adjusting the cam-block K by the lever L. During the bevelling operation, spring plungers G' which normally co-operate with a hand-screw F to adjust the work relatively to the knife are rendered inoperative by pins on a hand-operated rod N engaging in reduced portions G<5> on the plungers. A gauge S<4> sets the position of the end of the work before the bevelling operation is commenced. A second gauge to determine the length of the end of the material may be carried on the work-supporting slide. In a modification the spindle B is turned by a wedge on the bracket which engages a stop arm projecting from the spindle towards and from the spindle to vary the effective length of the arm extending from the spindle.
