Patent GB-190903431-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Rotary Motors and the like.
Inventor: MASCORD GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1909-02-11
Granted: 1910-02-11
Abstract: 3431. Mascord, G. W. Feb. 11. Movable - abutment type; cooling and heating parts; working-fluid supply. - The pistons have inclined faces, so that no clearance space is left in passing through the openings in the abutments. In the gasengine shown in Figs. 1 and 2, two similar drums b, c, mounted on the shaft a, co-operate with the same abutments d, one acting as a compressing piston and the other as an explosion piston. The pistons b<3>, c<3> have inclined faces which work without clearance in the inclined openings d<3> in the abutments. Passages k, i in the casings and ports d<5> in the abutments establish connexion between the several working-chambers when necessary. Fig. 5 shows the cycle diagrammatically. A piston c<3> draws in a charge of gas behind it through the supply port g. The following piston c<3> compresses it into the passage i from which it passes by a port e to the rear of a motor piston b<3>, when an abutment port d<5> makes the necessary connexion. The gas is exploded, and drives the piston forward. Exhaust takes place through a port h. Various modifications may be made in the number and disposition of the pistons and abutments, and a number of such engines may work together. They may be combined so that axial thrust is eliminated. The compression rotor maybe of greater width than the explosion rotor. A single piston drum may be employed, one half being used as the compressor and the other half as the motor. By modifying the arrangement of the ports and passages, the apparatus may be used as a steam motor, or as a pump. The casing is formed in two symmetrical halves e, f, Fig. 1, and the main shaft a, and abutment spindles d<1>, are provided with ball and thrust bearings a', a<3>, e<2>, e<3>. Each of the spindles may have a fly-wheel. Cooling is effected by a water jacket j between the drums b, c, and by water held by centrifugal force in the spaces b<2>, c<2>. Air-cooling may be adopted, the air being drawn into the cooling-spaces and through the shaft by a device on the fly-wheel. The abutments are positively rotated by the engagement of skew teeth d<4> on them with similar skew teeth on the peripheries of the drums b, c. In a modification, external gearing is employed. Packing-rings are fitted where necessary. Forced lubrication may be employed.

Abstract: 11,765. Lecler, P. May 18, 1908, [Convention date]. Reinforced-concrete pipes.-Relates to concrete pipes having reinforcements of the helically-coiled or tubular type, and comprises corrugated longitudinal members, and devices for positioning the reinforcement in the mould. A bundle of the longitudinal members may be introduced simultaneously by enclosing them in a tube c, Fig. 1, which is then threaded between the coils and withdrawn, and the members b finally spaced at suitable intervals. Straight flexible members b may be used, which become corrugated under the action of the coils, and the ends may be bent or returned as shown at b<1>, Fig. 2. The helix is finished off at rightangles to the axis by means of a ring integral with, or separate from, the coil and secured by the looped ends of the bars b; or flat or sectional iron rings may be provided with holes to receive the bars b and act as connecting- flanges. The bars b may be inclined to the axis in one or two directions, and the corrugations may be of regular or variable pitch and height with or without intervening straight portions, and may be in the same or different planes. Fig. 6 shows a modified bar b having corrugations on both sides to serve as positioning members in the mould. Fig. 8 shows a side view of Fig. 6, with the bends in different planes to prevent slipping. Short but similar positioning-members may be secured to the main armature at any point, as shown in Figs. 9, 10, and 11; the bends may lie in planes parallel or perpendicular to the axis. Straight bars f, Fig. 15, may be also added, and be secured by the bends e<4>, or by a special member e, Fig. 19. Some of the bends in the bars b may be long enough to project beyond the concrete.

Abstract: 965. Stõhler, H., [Firm of]. Sept. 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Balancing.-In inclined lifts for shaft furnaces, means are provided for balancing the load through a track of variable inclination by one or more counterweights running on a track or tracks of fixed inclination. In the arrangement shown, the load-carriage a is suspended by a pulley g in a bight in the hoisting cable f.

The lower end of the carriage a is connected to a cable h, which passes round a tail pulley and is wound upon a drum i. The drum e is of variable diameter and is so proportioned that, when the carriage a is upon the portion b<1> of the track, the rope f winds upon a part of such diameter that the carriages a, c move with equal speeds in opposite directions ; when the carriage a is upon the horizontal portion b<2>, the carriage c is stationary ; and when the carriage a is upon the slightly inclined portion b<3>, the d sp!acement of the carriage c is correspondingly reduced. The drum e may be of fixed diameter and variably driven, or may be designed to give any desired displacement of the counterweight. More than one counterweight may be employed.
