Abstract: 8546. Jackson, J. G., and Jackson, Ltd., J. G. April 11. Rollers.-Abrasive-composition rollers for use in reducing substances by crushing, grinding, rolling, &c. and comprising a shaft, core, and abrasive-composition surface covering, have the cementitious core cast or moulded about the shaft upon which the roller is formed. The core may first be formed on the shaft and the abrasive composition subsequently applied, or a cylinder of abrasive material may be placed in position about the shaft and the core subsequently formed by filling in the space between the shaft and the cylinder with cement. The core preferably has the same or approximately the same coefficient of expansion as the abrasive composition of the surface covering. The connexion between the shaft and the cementitious core may be entirely or mainly by surface adhesion, or the part of the shaft to which the core is applied may be of increased diameter with a cylindrical or other surface and presenting one or more plane surfaces, or surfaces with recesses or projections to .increase the security of the connexion. Fig. 1 shows a shaft A with means for increasing the security of the connexion between the shaft and the composition, consisting of end disks B provided with flanges B<2> projecting from their inner faces and intermediate disks B<1> with flanges B<2> projecting from both sides of their rims. The disks may be perforated or apertured, and radial arms may be used instead of disks. Fig. 2 shows examples of projecting bars C, C<1>, wires D, D', D<2>, and network E; and Fig. 3 shows arrangements of wires or bands F, which may be associated with a belt of wire network G arranged concentrically to the shaft. Fig. 6 shows wires H, H<1>, H<2>, H<3>, H<4>, which may be embedded in the core or fastened to supporting- parts thereof and project from the core and be enveloped by the abrasive composition.

Abstract: 7566. Kramer, E. April 18, 1913, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Drawings to Specification. Systems for continuous current motors only.- Electric motor driven talking-machines, especially disk machines, are arranged to start and stop rapidly in the following way. The machine is held by a spring brake under the control of a slow-action solenoid in series or parallel with the motor, and a resistance in series with the motor is normally shorted by a governor-operated contact. When the current is switched on, the motor attains full driving force before the solenoid removes the brake and the machine starts quickly. When up to normal speed the governor contact is opened and the resistance is inserted in the motor circuit to keep the speed normal. Stepped resistances controlled by governor contacts may be used. The brake stops the machine quickly when current is cut off.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Producing a Mixture of Steam and Products of Combustion.
Inventor: JOHNSON CHARLES EDMUND
Filed: 1914-06-06
Granted: 1915-06-07
Abstract: 13,770. Johnson, C. E. March 9, [Convention date]. Generating by direct contact of combustion products; feed - water, supplying and controlling.-Combined mixed gas and steam is produced by the combustion of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons in contact with finely - d i v i d e d water. Fig. 1 shows a diagram of the complete installation, Fig. 2 a sectional elevation of the generator proper, Fig. 4 a sectional detail plan, Fig. 5 a sectional elevation of the airregulator 14, and Fig. 9 a detail view to a larger scale of the lower part of Fig. 2. The compressor 10 supplies under pressure air to the container 11, from which pipes lead to the centrifugal air-regulator 14 and thence to the float chamber 17 or lowermost of the chambers. Liquid fuel is forced into the chamber 17 through the pipe 24 to a level regulated by the float valve 42, Fig. 2. Compressed air from the pipe 15 passes through ports 48, 49 to the spraynozzle 46 where the air and the fuel are ignited by the spark device 55. Air is also admitted to the chamber 18 from the tangential pipe 26, which communicates with the air - regulator 14. The resultant column of air and burning vapour ascends to the chamber 19, the diffusion of the air being effected by reason of the vertical vanes 58, Figs. 2 and 4, and violent combustion brought about. Thence the heated products enter the annulus 23 and escape by the apertures 63 to the mixing-chamber 20 where they meet a spray of air or gases or atomized water from the nozzle 30. The unburnt vaporized hydrocarbon is consumed with the result that the atomized water is superheated and passed through the perforated pipes 64 to the space 22, from which the major portion escapes to the outlet 65 to the engine, a smaller part being drawn through perforations into the pipe 34 by the pump 35 to be led to the pressure chamber 33 of the feed-regulator 32. This feedregulator contains the float inlet valve 62 for controlling the supply of water through the pipe 61. The upper part of the water-chamber 32 constitutes the pressure chamber 33. The waterpipe 31 is surrounded by a pressure pipe 36 which leads from the chamber 32 above the regulated level of the water therein to the nozzle 30. As regards the air-regulator, the supplypipe 12, Fig. 5, enters tangentially. The upper part of the regulator is provided with baffles 40 below the outlet 141 to the pipe 26. To adjust the air orifices 48, 49, Fig. 2, in the fixed disk 50, a correspondingly apertured disk 51 is rotated by a rack and spindle 54. Water is admitted to the lower part 21 of the annular chamber 22 through the pipe 28 and the float valve 29, this water preventing overheating of the apparatus.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Delivering and Compressing Gases.
Inventor: WEGMANN ERNEST
IPC: F04F5/46
Filed: 1915-01-06
Abstract: 210. Wegmann, E. Jan. 6, 1914, [Convention date]. Blast and aspirating apparatus, injector and ejector; regulating or controlling action.-In apparatus in which a jet of liquid is employed for delivering and compressing gas, the jet of liquid is employed to rotate a vaned wheel coupled to a fan, which forces the gas through orifices in the vaned wheel into the mixing- nozzle below the wheel. Fig. 1 shows one construction in which water, entering at 7 and passing through the annular nozzle 29 into the mixing-nozzle, rotates the vaned wheel 6, which is coupled to the fan 30. The fan draws the gas through the passage 11 and forces it through the nozzle 27 and the wheel 6 into the mixing- nozzle. In a modified construction, the fan blades are formed on the vaned wheel outside the vanes of the wheel. In this case, the water enters at a passage corresponding to 11 and the gas at a passage corresponding to 7. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) is not limited to delivering and compressing gas by means of a jet of liquid. but describes the invention more generally as comprising the delivery and compression of one fluid by means of another fluid. For drawing off air and gas by means of a steam nozzle, a double-conical adjustable regulator is described, which co-operates with a similarlyshaped outer casing to form the annular steam injector nozzle. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 2486/02, [Class 110, Rotary engines &c.] and 27,471/11, [Class 110(i), Centrifugal and screw fans &c.].
