Title: Improvements in Terminals for Electric Cables.
IPC: H01R11/12
Filed: 1910-05-10
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 11,600. Bosch, R., [Firm of]. July 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Cable terminals.-To form terminals, more particularly for use in ignition systems for internal - combustion engines, the end of the cable is encased in a conducting-sheathing a, which is coned at its inner end e and extends partly into the insulation d. T h e sheathed conductor may be left straight as shown in Fig. 1 to form the plug of a plug-andsocket coupling, or bent round to form an eye terminal. When used as a plug connector for the carbon holder of a rotary distributor, the socket is made so that the insulation of the wire fits tightly into it. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states that when used as an eye terminal the sheathing a may be opened to form a cap over the insulation, or when the sheathing enters the insulation, a separate cap may be used. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 13,811. Ogden, J. E. L. June 7. Steam-traps.-In a steam-trap having a head c movable in an arc by the differential expansion of two tubes a, b, and also a double seated valve d of the type described in Specification 286/04, a spring e acts on the head to prevent the valve seat from moving away from the valve on the occurrence of a small reduction of the pressure and temperature of steam in the expansion tube a. The spring is supported by a lever f and a stop h permitting upward movement of the valve d by expansion of the tube a. A displacer rod is placed within the upper portion of the expansion tube a, to reduce the escape of steam when the valve is open, and to increase the cooling effect of the water. Means are provided for allowing the movement between one or both of the tubes and their support i, such as a nut which rides against two lugs k on the support, the end of the tube being screwed into a union piece m rounded as shown to work in a countersunk portion of the support ; or the tube may have a collar capable of universal movement in a nut fixed to the support.

Abstract: 16,252. Mills, English, & Co., and King, T. Scott-. July 7. U-tube superheaters.-A superheater for use in Babcock and Wilcox and like boilers consists of curved U-tubes opening into one or more headers and supported at their looped ends so that the tubes may hang in the form of a catenary. In the superheater shown, the tubes open into a single header A provided with longitudinal and transverse partitions G, J dividing the tubes into two groups, through which the steam flows in series. The partition J may be so placed that the steam has an expanded course in the second group of tubes. The looped ends of the tubes are supported by a hollow bar e, which is provided with supporting-pieces P adapted to slide within the bar. The header is carried on a bracket T, over which a coverplate T<1> is fitted. The superheater may thus be readily inserted and removed without disturbing the brickwork of the boiler. Sp acing- pieces C formed with fingers d projecting between the looped ends of the tubes ensure the correct spacing of the tubes.

Abstract: 18,674. Martin, W. E. Aug. 8. [Addition to 13,870/10.] Rotary valves.--In rotary-valve mechanism of the kind described in the parent Specification, the split ring i forming the valve is mounted in a recess in the periphery of the valve-carrier h, so that the pressure in the cylinder does not act on the interior of the valve to press it against the casing. The gases pass from the cylinder ports b to the port in the valve by way of a groove h<4> extending across the face of the carrier h, adjacent to the port in the valve. When the valve is lubricated from a central oil feed z, a rib h<5> is provided in the groove h<4> to prevent oil from running freely into the groove as it passes the oil feed. The carrier h has disk-shaped ends h<2> fitting against the ends of the casing. The valves may be arranged across the cylinder head as shown, or in a casing parallel with the cylinder. When the valve casing extends across two or more cylinders, a split ring is provided between the end disks of adjacent carriers h.

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 13,458. Cleland, J., and Stewart, J. C. June 6. Steam-traps.-In a trap of the expansion type, the valve-spindle is held frictionally, and the extent of the valve opening is limited by a stop, the trap by this means adjusting itself when the steam pressure changes. In the trap shown in Fig. 1, the valve D is placed at the inlet of an expanding tube G having at the other end an extension K in which the valvespindle F is held by a tapered sleeve L, split into segments which are pressed against the spindle by rings M and springs N. If the steam pressure rises, the increased expansion of the tube G first brings the valve D against its seat E, and then moves the grip L along the spindle F. If the steam-pressure falls; the grip L is moved in the reverse direction by engagement of projections on the valve with a stop C. A strainer B is placed at the inlet of the trap to prevent entrance of grit. In a modification, the valve is placed at the outlet end of the trap, and the casing containing the gripping- sleeve is movable by a pair of levers pivoted to arms on the expansive tube, and to two stayrods.
