Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 6265. Bergmann - Elektricitõtswerke Akt.-Ges. March 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Plant.-Overloading of compound " tapped " turbines, in which the steam is withdrawn from a stage a for use in other ways, is made possible by providing, in addition to the usual valve b between the high and low pressure stages, a by-pass valve c, which, as soon as the valve b is fully open, is opened by the pressure at the part where the steam is withdrawn and admits steam to a subsequent low-pressure stage. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a statement that the valve c may be arranged as a drag valve on the spindle of the valve b, being operated by the excess stroke of the valve b. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Patent GB-191313715-A (GB)
Title: An Electric Clock (Independent or Master).
Inventor: SCOTT JOHN GEORGE
IPC: G04C3/02
Filed: 1913-06-13
Granted: 1914-06-15
Abstract: 13,715. Scott, J. G. June 13. Electric clocks.-In a clock of the kind in which the oscillations of a pendulum are maintained by an electrically-reset gravity lever, a count-wheel 3 is arranged on the opposite side of the pendulum to the detent 4, which normally holds up the gravity lever 8. When the driving-pin 2<a> at one end of an arm 2 pivoted to the pendulum or a crutch drops into a deep tooth of the count-wheel, a hook 2<b> at the opposite end of the arm draws aside the detent 4, by engagement with a pin 33, thus allowing the lever 8 to fall and impel the pendulum either directly, or through a crutch. The circuit of the resetting electro-magnet 10 is made through two contacts 11<a>, 11<b>, mounted on metallic strips 11<1>, 11<2> which are entirely insulated from the mechanism. An arm 15 extending on one side of the pendulum or crutch controls the engagement of the pin 2<a> with the teeth of the count-wheel, and also ensures that the hook 2<b> is quickly released from the pin 33 after the gravity lever is freed. For adjusting a series of secondary dials controlled by the clock, a device is provided consisting of a pivoted arm 26 carrying a second pivoted arm 28 having a cross. piece 29, the arm 26 being adapted to be fixed in any of three positions. The position for normal working is shown. By lowering the arm 26 to the position marked R, a pin 32 on the arm 28 throws the arm 2 out of action, and the system is retarded. To accelerate, the arm 26 is placed in the position A, bringing the cross-piece 29 into the path of the impulse-pallet 7 on the pendulum. This effects the release of the gravity lever at each complete oscillation. The arbor of the minute-hand of the clock is driven by ratchet mechanism 18, 19, the lever which carries the pawl being linked to an extension of the armature of the resetting-magnet, or actuated by a separate electro-magnet. A device for locking the ratchet-wheel 18 consists of a rocking-lever 22, pivoted on a vertical arbor and engaged with teeth projecting from the side of the ratchet-wheel. The rocking-lever is connected to the lever 23 by a member 21.

Filed: 1913-06-18
Granted: 1914-01-29
Abstract: 14,134. Jones, G. J. June 18. Tube-extractors.-A device for withdrawing ship's condenser, locomotive boiler, or other tubes comprises two co-axial tapered split sleeves between, and by which the tube is gripped. A casing a provided with handles b has secured thereto a cap c surrounding a sleeve d provided with holes d<x> and having a screw-thread engagement e with the interior of the casing o. Within the sleeve d is an externally tapered split spring sleeve g held within the casing by a flange i and bush n, and intended to grip the exterior of the tube (not shown) to be withdrawn. A split internally-tapered spring sleeve j is held in place by a spring o bearing on a flange m. A tapered mandrel has an enlarged end q and a threaded portion r on which a handled boss t screws. The sleeve j is expanded to grip the inner surface of the tube by pulling on the handled boss t or screwing it along the mandrel r, thus drawing the enlarged end q into the sleeve. To grip the outer surface of the tube, the sleeve d is held against rotation by a tommy spanner (not shown) engaging the holes d<x>, and is drawn along the sleeve g by turning the handles b of the casing a. A double hook (not shown), engaging the handles b, may be used to connect the device to a source of power to draw the tube. The members j, q, t are removable for use as a separate unit.

Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 16,599. Lecocq, E. Sept. 4, 1912, [Convention date]. Coke ovens.-In a coke oven with regenerators for both gas and air, four conduits are provided beneath each oven, and are so connected with the regenerators and the heating- walls that gas and air are supplied through the conduits beneath alternate ovens, while the products of combustion from the heating-walls escape through the conduits beneath the remainder. The regenerators g are constructed as described in Specification 10,253/13, and are arranged in two groups, which serve alternately for the heating of the gas and air, and the escape of the products of combustion. All the regenerators are connected by dampercontrolled passages to collecting and distributing flues e, f, and alternate regenerators are connected in addition to gas-supply conduits a, b. From the regenerators, damper-controlled conduits h, i lead to pairs of flues k, l or m, n situated beneath the soles of the ovens and communicating with the flues of the heating- walls. In operation, gas and air are supplied through the regenerators on say the left-hand side of the battery as shown in Fig. 1, and are distributed by the pairs of flues k, l and m, n to alternate vertical flues or combustion chambers of the two heating-walls of the corresponding ovens. The products of combustion pass down through the remaining vertical flues to the conduits beneath the next oven, whence they are led through the whole of the regenerators at the right-hand side of the battery.
