Title: Means for Preventing the Waste and Loss of Oil Employed in Lubricating Bearings of Rotary Motors and Turbines
Inventor: MURPHY LOUIS EDWARD
Filed: 1904-10-25
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 22,963. Murphy, L. E. Oct. 25. Oil, catching and retaining.-Oil from the bearings of turbines or other rotary motors is caught in cups and conveyed by pipes to a reservoir. The pressure is equalized by pipe connections. In the turbine shown in Fig. 2, oil from the bearing 7 is caught in pockets 8 from which pipes 12 lead to a junction 13, Figs. 2 and 3, a valve in which controls the entrance into a casing 10 closed by end caps 11. The pressure is equalized by a pipe 15 leading to the turbine casing. The oil is drawn off through a cock 17. The apparatus may be fitted with a gauge glass and a vent cock 18.

Granted: 1905-11-10
Abstract: 24,362. Akt. - Ges. fiir Schreibmaschinen - Industrie, Nov. 14, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Type-writers. - Relates to the arrangement of the types in machines having typecarriers situated at an angle to the striking- rod, such as those described in Specification No. 14,601, A.D. 1901. In order to prevent imperfect impressions and also injury to the striking-mechanism, the types are arranged so that the plane passing through the striking- mechanism cuts the front or printing face of the type body. The type-bars 1, which carry a number of characters, are supported by rods 2 which are connected with the key-levers. Projections 5 on the type-bar are connected to the rods 2 by means of pivots 12. When the striking-mechanism is inclined to the printing - face of the type, the projection 5 is not bent as in Fig. 3 but is arranged as in Fig. 4. so that the direction of the stroke passes through the printing-face. This construction enables the guide-cheeks 13, 14 to be inclined to each other at a smaller angle. The device is also applicable to machines in which the type block carries only one character or group ot characters.
