Abstract: 25,045. Foxlee, J. E. Nov 12. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Impact-wheels.-The piston T, Fig. 3, is provided with two pistons Q and a number of baffles P. The pistons and a central ring O contact with the cylinder walls. The pistons are packed by strips R. Steam is introduced through one or other set of the diametrically-opposed ports F, F and F<1> F', which open into an annular steam chamber, as determined by a simple ring valve for direct or reversed running. The ring valve may be rotated by a band-lever, worm and wheel, &c. Fig. 4<A> shows an. arrangement of ports when only one direction of running is desired. As shown in Fig. 3, the pistons are arranged on one side of the centre line a<1>, a'. The exhaust ports are situated in the cylinder ends close to the steam inlets. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, steam is admitted to one or other set of ports as determined by the ring valve F and after impacting upon the buckets is deflected into the hollow drum, from which it passes endways into exhaust port or ports in the cylinder ends. The ports or nozzles are divergent, and the buckets are correspondingly shaped as shown in Fig. 6. The rotor drum is packed by spring rings L, Fig. 6. Two motors of this kind may be mounted on one shaft and run in series. Fig. 9 shows a further modification without the ring valve, the ports O being connected to a steamchest L, Fig. 9, and controlled by a valve. In this motor, the ports O are placed obliquely in the cylinder end covers M ; D is an exhaust passage. The rotor is packed by spring rings Q, and the stuffing - boxes are water - jacketed.
