Abstract: 4025. Rell, A. J., and Bell, P. A. G. Feb. 17 Moving-chamber apparatus, varying quantity measured in.-Water or other liquid to be treated with reagent is passed through a venturi-pipe a, to the entrance g and throat h of which are connected cylinders d, e, containing spring-loaded pistons coupled together and regulating by suitable gearing the height of a shaft carrying measuring-buckets p, and thus the depth to which the buckets clip into a tank u to remove the reagent in quantities proportional to the flow of liquid through the venturi-pipe. As shown, the shaft n of the lever m, which couples the pistons, carries a lever, wheel, or quadrant o, and cams r give the required motion to the shaft supporting the measuring-buckets. Reagent is supplied from the storage tank t to the tank u through a ball cock which maintains a constant level in the tank u. The buckets deliver into a tank v from which the reagent is withdrawn by a pump s and forced through a pipe w<1> into the pipe a. The pump s may be driven by a turbine placed in the line of pipe supplying water to be purified. A ball cock admits water to maintain a constant liquid level in the tank v.

Abstract: 26,625. Freygang, R. Nov. 28. Rotary filters.-A casing, which contains a hollow filter c adapted to rotate about a vertical axis, comprises a head part a, which narrowly encloses the filter c, and a receiver b for the arrested solids. Filtration is inwards, and the rotation of the filter causes the solid matter to be discharged centrifugally from the outer surface. The Figure shows a conical drum, fixed to a hollow pin k, to which a pulley is attached, and to a hollow outlet pipe e passing downwards through a sleeve f. A fixed disk g prevents disturbance of the more solid matter in the receiver b by the rotation of the drum. The material is supplied through the pipe n, and the bottom of the vessel may be connected to a filter-press u. Within the drum is a curved vane p, which guides the liquid towards the outlet pipe c and is held against rotation by a rod q passing through the hollow pin k.

Abstract: 2951. Vichery, F. W. Feb. 5. [Cognate Applications, 5982/12 and 11,472/12.] Adjusting height of body from ground ; draught and push bars. -In a hand-truck of which the platform can be raised and lowered by means of links connecting the platform to the running frame and actuated by mechanism from a handle, which is preferably the propelling handle, means are provided for disconnecting the handle from the raising and lowering mechanism. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, each link 4 adjacent to the propelling-handle 10 is connected to a latch link 7 taking over a pin 12 on an arm fixed to the shaft 9 carrying the side-bars of the handle 10, and, when the platform is raised, the links 4 pass beyond the vertical and rest against stops 11. The handle 10 is disengaged by lifting the links 7 off the pins 12. Fig 2 shows a modification in which the links 7 are permanently pivoted to the arms 8, and a central handle 10 is mounted freely on the shaft 9 but can be operatively connected thereto by a rod 15 adapted to engage a notch 14 in a member 13 fixed on the shaft, or the handle may be mounted on the shaft by a longitudinal slot formed with parts adapted to fit flats on the shaft when operative connexion is desired. Fig. 3 shows a further modification, in which the use of the handle 10, Fig. 1, as a pushhandle is facilitated by providing a pawl 17, pivoted at 17<a> to the truck frame 1, to engage a stop 16 on the handle 10, a pin 17<c> on the pawl being aranged to engage a slot in the corresponding link 7. In a further modification, Figs. 5 and 8, a fixed push-handle 18 and a movable drag - handle 10 are provided, and a construction is shown in which, in order to effect the raising of the platform 5 by a less pressure on the handle 10, the lifting- mechanism can be locked while the handle 10 is being moved back to a vertical position, the lifting being thus effected by a series of downward movements of the handle. For this purpose a pawl 29 is provided to engage ratchet recesses in the member 13. When the platform is to be lowered, the pawl 29 is disengaged by a rod 31 carried by the handle 10.

Abstract: 3931. Vereinigte Dampfturbinen-Ges. Feb. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Regulating.-The admission of steam to a turbine is controlled by the pressure of steam in front of the nozzles of a stage, in addition to the governor - controlled steaminlet valve. The space a in front of the nozzles communicates with one side of a spring-pressed piston c, the movements of which are transmitted through a spring e and a fluid brake f to a slide valve g controlling admission to a spring-pressed piston i connected to the inlet valve h. Small movements are absorbed by the spring e and shocks by the brake f. Pressure increases admit steam to the piston i to move the valve h downwards. An adjustment may also be effected by a governor k acting through an auxiliary machine l and a piston m.
