Title: Method of regulating an engine of the air-compressing fuel-injection type
IPC: F02D29/00
Filed: 1954-09-01
Abstract: 759.112. Speed governors. DAIMLERBENZ AKT.-GES. Sept. 1, 1954 [Sept. 2, 1953], No. 25442/54 Class 57 [Also in Group XXVII] A governor controlling a fuel injection pump of an injection engine having a variable speed transmission gear is adjusted in dependence upon the gear engaged so that the fuel supply is increased at lower gears in relation to the normal action of the governor, the increase only being allowed when the engine output regulating member, e.g. a throttle valve; is in or near the maximum output position. In Fig. 2, the suction chamber 17 of a suction-type governor is connected by a pipe 16 to a nozzle 15 opening into the induction pipe 11 adiacent the throttle valve 12, an additional air inlet 23 to the nozzle 15 being controlled by a valve 24 actuated by an electromagnet 26 the circuit of which includes a switch 31 actuated through linkage 33 from the gear change lever 35. In lower gears 0 ... 3 the switch 31 is open, whereby the valve 24 closes the passage 23 and the governor operates in its normal manner to limit the engine speed to a predetermined value. In fourth gear the gear lever actuates linkage 33 to close the switch 31 and open the valve 24 whereby the suction acting in the chamber 17 is reduced at full throttle by air flowing through the passage 23 and the fuel supply is relatively increased so that the governor comes into action at a higher speed than the predetermined normal value. The passage 23 is also controlled by the. throttle spindle 13 having a passage 25 therein which only opens the passage 23 at or near full throttle. The maximum engine speed may be reduced in stages from gear to gear or continuously in the case of infinitely variable gearing. In a modification the valve 24 is actuated mechanically from the gear lever and when the governor is a centrifugal governor the gear lever operates to vary the spring loading of the governor through a hydraulic servomotor.

Patent GB-1305164-A (GB)
IPC: A47J37/12
Filed: 1971-04-19
Abstract: 1305164 Food fryer RESTAURANT PRODUCTS INC 19 April 1971 [22 April 1970] 25633/71 Heading A4D [Also in Divisions B1, E2] A food fryer comprises a reservoir 21 for holding cooking oil and heating food and filtering means to continuously filter the oil during cooking which comprises supporting means 28 in the reservoir for supporting the food while allowing sediment to settle out, an outlet 32 above the level of the supporting means to allow oil to flow out of the reservoir and pumping means for pumping the oil through porous filter material. The oil is drawn from the reservoir through the outlet pipe 32, through a valve 40 into the filter chamber 50 and returned to the reservoir via the inlet pipes 38. The incoming oil is directed onto a ledge 39 to avoid agitating the oil in the reservoir. In the example shown the filter material, which is held within the chamber 50 is a circumferentially pleated bag which may be cylindrical or parabolic in shape attached to an inlet 91 by a spring clip 93. The oil oozes out through the filter bag and the sediment is trapped inside. In a modification (not shown) the filter material is a pleated cylindrical filter paper having compressible rings at each of its open ends which are held between a cover 54 and the bottom of the chamber 50. As the filter becomes clogged the flow of oil will be blocked and the pressure in the pipe between the filter chamber and the pump will fall. A sensor in the pipe detects this pressure change and activates a signal such as a light to indicate to the operator that the filter needs changing. The operator then closes valve 40. The pump continues to run and empties the chamber 50. A further light is then illuminated and the chamber 50 can be removed and the filter changed. The oil can be stored in the well 21 during this filter change and cooking need not be interrupted. When the valve 40 is open a locking device prevents the chamber being removed. (See Division E2).

Abstract: 726,327. Hydraulic shock-absorbers. GIRLING, Ltd. Oct. 6, 1953 [Oct. 16, 1952], No. 25937/52. Class 108 (3). A valve assembly for a direct-acting piston-and-cylinder hydraulic shock-absorber, comprises an annular seating 22 at the end of an axial bore 23 in the piston rod 12, for a valve head 25 loaded by a compression spring 27 abutting a spring cup or plate 28 which is located by an inwardlydirected lip or flange 29. The lip 29 is produced by deformation of the outer end of a sleeve 30 which encloses the spring and valve head, and is secured on the outer end of the piston rod. The loading of the spring 27 is determined by the extent of axial deformation of the lip. In the construction shown, the deformation is effected by shear-riveting. In another construction (Fig. 4, not shown), the lip 38 is formed by a reduced-thickness end of the sleeve 30, which is spun or swaged over. The cup 28 may be replaced by a plate (Fig. 3, not shown), which has no aperture. Flow then takes place through ports 39 in the sleeve 30.

Abstract: 809,957. Gas turbine plant. HENSCHEL & SOHN G.m.b.H. Sept. 12, 1955 [Sept. 10, 1954], No. 26017/55. Class 110 (3). [Also in Groups XII and XIII] A gas turbine plant comprising a turbine driving at least one compressor, an effective power turbine and a heat exchanger having inlet and outlet drums connected by tubes in which the power turbine exhaust gases heat the air delivered by the compressor by passing over the tubes in a direction substantially at right angles to their longitudinal axis, has the compressor-turbine set disposed below the heat exchanger so that its axis runs parallel to the axes of the heat exchanger tubes or the heat exchanger drums while the axis of the effective power turbine runs in a horizontal plane at right angles to the axis of the turbine compressor set. Air compressed in a compressor 15 passes through an intercooler 16 to a compressor 17 which discharges through a pipe 18 to the upper drum 1 of a heat exchanger. The air passes through the tubes 3 where it is heated by the exhaust gases of the useful power turbine 9 to the lower drum 2 which incorporates a combustion chamber 4. The combustion gases from this chamber pass to a turbine 7, which drives the compressors 15, 17, and then through a conduit 8 to a useful power turbine 9 which discharges through a duct 10 into the heat exchanger. A reheat combustion chamber may be incorporated in the conduit 8. The gases flow in three cross currents 11, 12, 13 through the heat exchanger and pass to atmosphere through the duct 14. The lower drum 2 is rigidly mounted and the upper drum 1 is free so as to follow the expansion of the tubes 3. The upper drum 1 may be supported by anchors which are situated in the gas current beside the heat exchanger tubes 3. Expansion joints 19, 22 are provided in the ducts 6, 18. To prevent movement of these ducts due to expansion transmitting stresses to the turbinecompressor set, the ducts 6, 18 are rigidly connected to the drum 2 by brackets 20, 21. The turbine-compressor set may be supported by the lower drum 2. To shorten the length of the connecting ducts the axis of the turbinecompressor set is arranged in the plane of the heat exchanger and the axis of the useful power turbine is arranged at right angles to this plane. In a modification, the drums 1, 2 are arranged vertically with the axes of the drums adjacent the compressor discharge and turbine inlet respectively.

Abstract: 877,767. Devices for detecting leakages in cables &c. LANCIER, P., [trading as MASCHINENBAU HAFENHUTTE P. LANCIER]. Aug. 13, 1958 [Aug. 17, 1957], No. 26020/58. Class 99(2). A device for detecting leaks in a pipe system filled with a medium under pressure, comprises within a housing 1 a tube 21 interposed between the source of the medium under pressure and the pipe system and which forms a valve seat 13, a valve 5 mounted for axial displacement and spring means to bias the valve to the seated position thereof, and an electric contact device 10, 101 operationally connected with the valve and actuated on displacement of the valve from the seated position thereof. As shown in Fig. 1, the device includes a gas-tight housing provided with a transparent lid, and an inlet pipe 3 and a socket 4 for connection to a cable or pipe ; pressure reducing valves, shut-off valves and drying devices may be arranged between the device and the source of gas. The valve 5 is carried on a rod 6 guided in jewelled bearings 8, 81, and a lever 9 pivoted at 14 presses under the action of a spiral spring 7 against the free end of the rod ; the latter is provided with an insulating cap 20, and deflection of the lever is limited by a stop 11. The spring and lever may be combined to form a leaf spring and a stop 11 serves as a stationary electrical contact. Openings 12 are provided in the tube 21 and the valve in the normal position thereof lies between the inlet to the pipe and those openings, the provision of the latter ensuring that the pressure drop at the valve does not become too great if a major leakage in the cable or pipe system occurs. The distance through which the contact 10 is movable is varied by displacing axially the tube 21 the setting of the latter being indicated on a scale 26. To indicate the amount of gas flowing through the device the valve has secured thereto a pointer passing through a slot in the pipe 3 and used in conjunction with a scale, the amount of gas flowing depending upon the height to which the piston rises and consequently the proportion of the slot uncovered. To adjust the sensitivity of the device, the contact arrangement 10, 10<SP>1</SP>, Fig. 4, is adapted for displacement along the pipe 3 and is secured to a bracket 34 of insulating material ; a fork 36 engaging a pin 37 connected to the contacts and mounted in an airtight manner is rotated by a screw 38 to simultaneously displace the contacts and valve.
