Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 8146. Peschke, C. April 13. Moving- container apparatus. - A mixing and washing machine for gravel, sand, cement, lime, &c. consists of a rotatable drum, the casing of which is rolled to a spiral section or is constituted by several longitudinal parts placed so as to form such a section. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the spiral casing c, which is rolled to a revolution and a quarter, is closed at the ends and is rotatably mounted on a spindle. The material to be treated is charged into the drum, and on the rotation of the drum in the direction of the arrow, is washed or mixed without any escaping. If the drum is rotated in the opposite direction, the whole of the material is discharged during a single revolution. In the form shown in Fig. 13, a number of curved plates d are used reaching about half-way to the centre and forming a number of inlet and discharge openings.

Inventor: DAVIES LENNOX GRAHAM
IPC: B64C35/00
Filed: 1909-04-06
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 8285. Davies, L. G. April 6. Starting.-In starting-devices for aeroplanes, of the kind in which supports pivoted to the aeroplane hold it in an elevated position on the ground, and turn down so that the aeroplane glides forwards when the propeller is started, the supports comprise pivoted trestles d, e which are initially in a vertical position, so that the machine falls forwards immediately the propeller is started. One or more of the trestles, such as d may be provided with an additional member d', so as to avoid any tendency of the machine to fall in the rearward direction. The trestles may comprise two telescoping portions h, Fig. 6, with a spring j interposed, which spring is compressed by the weight of the machine prior to starting and gives up its energy to assist the start during the fall of the machine. A block and tackle or a jack may be employed for the preliminary raising of the machine.

Title: Improvements in String Holders.
Inventor: CONRADSEN PETER CHRISTIAN FRED
IPC: A47F13/04

Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 9847. Conradsen, P. C. F. April 27, 1908, [Convention date]. String- holders.- In string-holders of the kind that rewind the string after use, a flanged drum m, Fig. 2, upon which is wound a length of the string, is mounted upon one end of a hollow shaft k journaled in a supporting-arm d. The other end of the shaft k is adapted to traverse a screw f held in a supporting-arm d. A spiral spring h is secured at one end to the shaft k, and at the other end to the screw f. The string c passes from the cage b, into the shaft k, through the holes l, n in the shaft and drum, and on to the drum, whence it leaves by the large eye q, Fig. 1. When a length of string is drawn off, the drum moves laterally on the screw f, and when the string is released, the drum rotates under the action of the spring h and moves laterally in the reverse direction, and may be braked by the engagement of the projection s and flat spring t against the supporting-arm d.
Patent GB-190910902-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Blading of Turbines.
Inventor: KNIGHT JOSEPH
IPC: F01D5/30
Filed: 1909-05-08
Granted: 1910-05-09
Abstract: 10,902. Knight, J. May 8. Blades. - Relates to blade-fixing devices in which the blade roots or holders are wedged outwardly from beneath in undercut grooves in the rotor or stator. Referring to Figs. 2, 6, and 8, undercut grooves 1, 2 in the rotor 3 and the casing 4 receive the blade-holding sections 6, which, when in position, are wedged outwardly by pieces 10. To allow the introduction of the sections 6, the groove in the rotor is enlarged at one point, and is provided with parallel walls 11. Into this part, a filling-piece of the full depth of the groove is afterwards caulked. Instead of cutting away both walls of the groove to provide an entrance for the sections 6, one wall only may be so cut, the recess thus formed being afterwards filled when all the sections are in place. The sections 6 may be dispensed with by providing the blades 9 with tapered roots 15, Fig. 13, which are introduced obliquely into the groove, as shown, and are wedged from beneath. The root 15 may be made with a radial slot 16 ending in a circular hole 17, Fig. 4. A second wedge-piece, either integral with or separate from the wedge-piece 10 is forced into this slot, thus slightly opening out the oblique faces of the root. The Provisional Specification describes also a construction in which annular channels are cut in the rotor and stator opposite the peripheries of the blades, rings provided with thin soft-metal annular fins being caulked into them. Damage due to fouling of the blades is thereby obviated; at the same time, the clearance space is reduced.

Abstract: 14,427. Lentz-Getriebe Ges., and Lentz, H. June 19. Speed - varying mechanism.- In fluid - pressure power-transmission apparatus wherein two pumps and two motors are used, the motors are constructed so as to run single or double acting. The motors are of the type described in Specifications 14,424/09 and 18,949/09, [both in Class 110 (ii), Rotary engines &c.].

Patent GB-190924112-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Methods of and Means for Imparting Stability to Bodies by use of Gyroscopes.
Inventor: FERRANTI SEBASTIAN ZIANI DE
IPC: G01C21/18
Filed: 1909-10-20
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 24,112. Ferranti, S. Z. de. Oct. 20. Gyroscopic apparatus. - In gyroscopic apparatus employed for steadying bodies, a pair of gyroscopic units a in casings c are suspended by ball-and-socket joints e from a main frame d, and are so interconnected with each other and the frame d that forces tending to incline them in the same sense in any, the same, direction lock them to the body in that direction while allowing equal and opposite precessions in directions at right-angles thereto. The necessary restraint is imposed on the gyroscopes by mounting each of them within a pair of U-shaped frames f, h, the frames of each pair being arranged at r i g h tangles to each other. Each of these frames is pivoted about an horizontal axis at its upper end, the frames f turning about the pivots i and the frames h about the pivots k. The lower part of each frame is provided with a slot e in which slide blocks m, n formed in halves x with rubber interposed. Corresponding members of the U- frames are connected by suitable gearing as shown in Fig. 1, so that they can swing only in opposite directions. Thus, the gyroscopes are prevented from swinging in the same sense in any, the same, direction, for example in the plane normal to the axis of the pivots i, but are free to precess in opposite directions in the plane of the pivots i; similarly, the other pair of frames h prevents them from swinging in the same sense in the plane of the pivots i. The blocks m, n, with their V-shaped rubbing surfaces fitting grooves in the edges of the slots l, cause the requisite retardation of the precession, which varies in accordance with the pressure between the blocks and the slots and therefore with the disturbing force. The gyroscopes may be vertically one above the other instead of being side by side. When the invention is applied to an aeroplane, the rotating parts of the propelling - engine, such as a " Gnome " motor, act as the gyroscopes, means being provided whereby, if the motor fails, its standing parts are automatically released and the whole motor rotates bodily in virtue either of its stored energy or a connexion by which it is geared to another motor; further, the gyroscopic system may, in addition to imparting stability directly, also set indirectly to obtain the same effect bv operating suitable elevators, ailerons, or the like. Specifications 27,212/03 and 8432/09 are referred to.
