Title: Improvements relating to Elastic Fluid Pressure Turbines.
Inventor: WESTINGHOUSE GEORGE

Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 18,660. Westinghouse, G. Oct 4, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-The guide blades in elastic-fluid turbines are secured to rings or segments which are yieldingly connected to the casing so that, if the rotor blades touch the stationary blade supports, the latter move radially outwards, thereby preventing serious damage. Two or more rows of guide blades 5 are secured to rings or segmental pieces 6 which are situated in undercut grooves 7 in the turbine casing 3. Flanges on the blade supports 6 rest on shoulders formed in the grooves 7, thereby limiting inward movement. The supports 6 are pressed inwards by springs 15. Flanges 10 may be made on the supports 6, to form clearance-determining strips for the adjacent rotor blades. In a modification, the supports are designed for turbines in which the blades are all of equal length. The pressure on both sides of the supports may be equalized by providing small passages either in the casing or in the supports themselves so that the motive fluid is admitted to the grooves 7.

Abstract: 21,774. Hodgson, W., and Watson, F. Oct. 30. Gramophones.-An automatic starting and stopping device for disk talking-machines consists of a double-armed rod 11, 12 operated by the tone-arm 1, which is connected with a plunger 8 having a resilient end 8<A> adapted to contact with the edge of the turntable 3. The plunger 8 turns in a socket 7 provided with an oblique slot 10 in which a pin 9 on the plunger 8 slides, thus giving the plunger a longitudinal motion. As the tone-arm moves into the position shown in dotted lines, it depresses the arm 12, which turns and advances the plunger 8 to press upon the turntable and stop the motor. The plunger socket 8 is mounted on a plate 5 provided with a screw slot 6 for adjustment.

Abstract: 23,246. Hamilton, J. R., and Broadberry, A. E. Oct. 31. [Cognate Application No. 4112, A.D. 1909, dated Feb. 19.] Tyres, elastic other than pneumatic.- In tyres of the kind in which treadblocks are connected to the rim by curved plate springs, the blocks c, Fig. 1, are separate and slightly spaced apart, the essential feature being that the springs do not touch one another when the blocks abut and spread the load over several springs. The spring e, Fig. 2, is bolted at its outer end through a wooden block g<2> to a piece of channel-iron c<1> carrying a, rubber block c. The inner bolts f, f<1>, securing the spring to the metal rim are formed with flattened heads bearing against the sides of the felloe. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the spring k is short and riveted to an inclined rigid arm h fixed to the tread-block. Auxiliary helical spring s passing through the arm may be used.

Abstract: 25,376. Clarke & Co., T., and Clarke, T. Nov. 25. [Cognate Application No. 5866, A.D. 1909, dated March 11.] Door and gate opening apparatus.-Sliding doors and gates such as those of lift wells are secured by means of struts. The strut 7, Fig. 1, is pivoted on the end of the gate, and lies within the plane of the gate, the free end 9 being engaged and free to slide in a channel-piece 10 fixed to the door frame. When the handle 11 is pressed down, the strut is moved from the fastening position, and at the same time the gate is opened. In a modified form shown as applied to a collapsible gate the bar is pivotally fixed at both ends to the gate and the frame respectively and is jointed in the middle. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the strut 7 is pivoted to the frame and is operated from the fastening position by means of a pivoted lever 14 having a forked end 16 engaging the roller 9 on the strut and operated by the sliding bar 18 and link 17. A drop piece 23 prevents the return of the lever 14 until the gate is again closed. A guard piece 25 prevents the operation of the handle 20 from outside. When the lift is operated by electricity, the hinge of the strut is provided with a switch which is in the main circuit and which is closed when the strut is in the fastening position so that the cage cannot be moved until the well door is closed and fastened.

Abstract: 5624. Trautmann, F. O. March 9. Mechanical toys.-A skipping-toy comprises a doll a mounted on a holder b on which a wire or cord skipping - rope c is pivotally mounted. The holder passes through the hands, forearms, and waist of the doll, and is made angular in section at parts to prevent the doll from rotating. The holder may be continuous, as shown in Fig. 1, or it may be in separate lengths passing along both forearms of the doll, but into the waist at one side only. In the latter case the arms of the doll are jointed, and additional means are provided to keep the free arm in skipping-position. The legs v of the doll may be so jointed, Fig. 8, that when the doll is raised the legs swing backward. The skipping- rope possesses appreciable weight and rigidity, and normally rests in front of the toy. In the marionette form of the toy shown in Fig. 4, the doll has fixed limbs and separate angular holders b, which are formed with vertical parts w to which elastic or other threads x are attached. The upper ends of the threads may be free or attached to a handle. In all forms, the toy is operated by quickly raising and lowering the doll by means of the holder, which causes the rope to rotate continuously.

Inventor: STOCKALL JAMES JOHN
IPC: G04C21/32

Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 14,623. Stockall, J. J. June 22. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Time alarms. - For closing a number of electric circuits at predetermined times a conducting drum revolving once in twenty - four hours is provided with rows of holes and corresponding removable conducting pegs which wipe-over a set of contact - springs. These connect the respective circuits to the battery through a separate switch, which is closed by a small wheel once every quarter of an hour. The circuits may be those of electric lights or bells, or they may be used for turning on gas, water, &c. In the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the drum b, driven from a clock (not shown), is provided with pegs d set in holes arranged in a series of tracks c, one " track " being appropriated to each of the fixed contactsprings e, the tension of which is adjustable by screws i. The face of the drum is marked with the hours; its projecting toothed flange k drives a pinion attached to a disk n adopted to make hourly revolutions. Pins inserted on the face of the disk at quarter-hour intervals operate the switch for completing the circuit by first raising the lower pivoted lever r off its rest r<3> against the force of a spring, then raising the upper lever p off its rest p<6>, then releasing the lever p so that its contact-point p<5> drops quickly against the contact-piece r<2> of the lever r, and finally releasing the lever r, which drops and breaks circuit again. The circuit is thus closed and opened quickly and remains closed for a short determined period. In a modification, stated to be for use in ring- ing bells, and to be driven by a workman's time recorder or like machine, an apparatus similar to that described above is combined with a " shunting-switch " x, Fig. 3, consisting of a wheel with seven teeth actuated by a projection z on the main drum, and a roller x, Fig. 4, bearing seven helically disposed pins, which come successively against springs w respectively connected to the springs e, and thus to the respective " tracks " of the drum which are successively in use. A switch shown diagrammatically at v is used as before for the purpose of completing the circuit.
