These lie in the chamber formed between the disk D and the flanged fixed member E. The locking-elements A', A<2> are normally pressed apart to grip the fixed casing by a spring-pressed wedge J arranged as shown. The device is normally locked against any force directed on the transmitting - arm C attached to the movable member D, but is released and controlled by the operating-handle B<1>, the boss of which, passing loosely through the disk D, carries upon its squared end an arm B, in the V-grooved end of which the rounded point of the wedge J is supported, so that, upon the arm B rotating with the operating-handle, the sides b of the groove push the wedge J outwards and release the locking-elements. Upon further movement, the arm B carries the disk D around positively by means of the pins or stops H projecting therefrom. According to the Provisional Specification, the wedge lies perpendicularly to the plane of the locking - elements, and is operated by a double inclined surface upon the control handle, stops being provided to impart positive rotation.

Title: A Regulating Device for Condensers
Inventor: HELANDER AXEL HERMAN
Filed: 1906-08-01
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 17,331. Helander, A. B. Aug. 1. Condensers, regulating water-supply to or level in. -The supply of cold water to a condenser is regulated according to the variations in the difference between the temperatures of the incoming steam and the outgoing water, a suitable thermometric device being provided. The condenser to which the apparatus is applied is also provided with means for regulating the vacuum therein. The thermometric device may consist of two thermometers 30, 31 placed in the steam-pipe 3 and the tail-pipe 11 respectively, and connected by tubes 40, 40<1> with Bourdon springs carrying contacts which complete a circuit through the battery B when the temperature difference exceeds that necessary for effective condensation. A solenoid 37 is thus made to actuate a valve 33 on the water-supply pipe 4. The reversal of the valve is retarded by a dashpot 33'. A pair of thermo-electric couples connected in circuit with a relay controlling the battery circuit may be used in place of the thermometers. Any method of automatically regulating the valve 33 or the feed-pump may be adopted, or the valve may be operated manually in response to signals given by the indicator 32. The vacuum is controlled by a float 17 which breaks the connexion between the air-pump 29 and the separator 14 when an abnormal quantity of water comes over through the pipe 15. The vapours are thus bypassed through a coil 22 in the condenser, where they are heated and expanded before being carried away to the pump through the pipe 21.
